Just answer a few quick questions and we’ll show you the best deals based on the phone you’ve got, the one you want, and the kind of plan you’re looking for.
How Much is your Phone Worth?
Figuring out what your phone is actually worth can be confusing. That’s because it’s not just about the cash value—what matters to most phone shoppers is the promotional trade-in value, which can change depending on the carrier (including Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile) and the current deals. Navi keeps track of all that and makes it easy to understand, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Trade-In Process for Popular Devices
Trading in your phone for a new one is as easy as one-two-three. Whether you’re trading in an Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, or another kind of Android device, rest assured that there’s a trade-in program for you.
1. Calculate Your Phone’s Value
Calculating your phone’s value will help you determine its eligibility for various trade-in offers. Navi’s trade-in value calculator on this page can give you a ballpark of what your phone is worth to get started. Ultimately, you’ll also need to assess your device condition and have your IMEI number on hand, as all of these factors impact the value of your trade-in credit.
2. Choose an Offer
Once you’ve gotten a ballpark estimate of your phone’s trade-in value, the fun part begins: choosing the trade-in promotion that suits you best. Most phone trade-in deals provide bill credits spread out over 24 or 36 months. These credits are applied to your monthly bill, lowering the cost of a new phone over the installment period.
3. Prepare Your Device
Now that you’ve calculated your phone’s value and chosen a trade-in offer, it’s time to prepare your device. First, you’ll want to perform a factory reset of your phone. Next—assuming you’re mailing your device in as opposed to doing an in-store drop-off—you’ll need to prepare your phone for shipment. Print the shipping label, box your phone up, and send it off. You’ll have your new phone in no time.
Trade-In Requirements
In order to trade-in your phone for a new device, it has to meet certain requirements. These tend to be the same regardless of which carrier, third-party reseller, or retailer you go with. They include:
Ownership
You must own your phone outright in order to get the max trade-on value for it.
Functional Condition
While requirements can vary, generally speaking your phone should power on and hold a charge, have a crack-free, functioning screen, and be free of water damage.
Factory Reset
Make sure to erase your personal data and reset your phone to factory settings before trading it in.
Physical Condition
While many programs accept phones with slight cosmetic wear, just be aware that it may reduce its trade-in value. Major physical damage (cracked screen, missing buttons, bent chassis) may disqualify it or lower the offer.
Model Eligibility
The device you plan on trading in must be a model that the trade-in program accepts. Older models may not qualify.
While trade-in offers generally require the above, carriers occasionally run Any Phone, Any Condition promotions which waive many of the aforementioned requirements.
