How to Trade in Your Metro PCS Phone
Metro PCS does not have an official trade-in program for smartphones. However, third-party companies such as Flipswap, CellForCash, Gazelle, and Simply Sellular offer options to sell or exchange your old device. These companies facilitate the resale or recycling of your Metro PCS phone, effectively enabling an indirect trade-in. To maximize benefits, follow these steps:
Step 1: Choose a reputable third-party trade-in provider for your Metro PCS device.
Step 2: Research online to compare trade-in offers across various sites by visiting their promotional or tutorial pages.
Step 3: Use the trade-in website's search feature to find the value offered for your device model. Offers may differ between platforms.
Step 4: Send your old Metro PCS phone to the selected company's address, following their packaging instructions for safe shipment. Include the prepaid shipping label provided.
Step 5: Wait for the processing period—typically two to three weeks—and receive your payment via check or other methods offered by the company.
Additionally, check Metro PCS's official website for current deals on new phones. Options include:
Promotional Rate Plan: Activating at least one new Metro PCS line, up to five per account, grants unlimited LTE data on each device. This plan does not qualify for family discounts and requires compatible devices.
Switcher Instant Rebate: Available at select stores for a limited time, porting an existing wireless number to a new device can provide an instant rebate of approximately $59 on your purchase.
