Firstly, we strongly recommend that you confirm and lock prices with us before making your way here. You can find our contact details easily at the top of the page, or simply use the WhatsApp button found on the bottom right of your screen. There may be price fluctuations during the day. Hence, we will honor the deal ONLY IF you have received text confirmation from us. Otherwise, we will not be responsible for any inconvenience resulting from the fluctuation of these prices.

For New Phone Buy Back:

• Above all, we do not deduct the buyback price if you are only selling your device without purchase.
• The phone trade in price is valid if you have less than 3 units to trade in or sell. Hence, if you wish to sell in bulk, please contact us to confirm the phone trade in price before visiting.
• The phone price lists are valid for mobile phones which are bought locally and meant for local use (ie. Local Set).
• We need all the original accessories. To ensure that you are given the highest prices for trade in, please present all the original accessories. For example when you are opting for our iPhone trade in, we will require ALL accessories in the box includinf the box itself, charger, earpiece, original packaging etc.
• You must provide your Identity Card at the point of transaction. To explain further, we need your NRIC for phone trade in as part of the requirements of Singapore Police Force, Additionally, we are required to adhere to the rules and regulations of our Secondhand Dealers’ License.
• Prices are valid for same-day transactions only. It is important to check again if you wish to trade in your device another day. Conversely, we update our phone trade in prices daily for every model.
• Our definition of a brand new set is a mobile device which is unused, in its original packaging and less than 3 days old. For example, a unit which is new but bought 6 months ago is considered as a used set. As such, you should carry out your due diligence to inquire if you feel there are discrepancies to our definition of “Brand New Phone”.

Used Phone Trade in Singapore:

• Our advertised trade in phone Singapore prices above are quoted which includes the original accessories such as the box, charger, earpieces, and adaptors. Hence, the phone trade in price will be lower if there are any missing accessories. Faulty, torn and non-original accessories are not accepted.
• Our final phone trade in price is subject to visual and functional check by our Sales Team at our stores.
• Mister Mobile reserves the right to reject your buy back offer after assessment.
• The device you are trading in must not have been repaired before. For example, if you are visiting for “iPhone trade in Singapore” and your iPhone screen has been replaced before, it will affect the final phone trade in prices.
• For high price trade in, ensure that the mobile device is in good condition with no inherent defects.
• You must provide your Identity Card at the point of transaction.  To explain, we need your NRIC for phone trade in as part of the requirements of the Singapore Police Force. Additionally, we are also required to adhere to the rules and regulations of our Secondhand Dealers’ License.

Understanding our handphone trade in price table

For New Phone Trade in Singapore:

• “New Phone Buyback” is the base price for a new phone buy back. Correspondingly, the other columns represent our color preference, and also other deductions. For example, there will be deductions if your device has been unsealed.
• For iPhone trade-in (Singapore sets), there is a deduction of $20 if the iPhone has been open and/or the warranty has been activated at the point of purchase.
• If the device’s warranty has been activated for more than 3 days, please exercise your due diligence and inquire about the possible deductions before making your way over. This way, we can minimise the disputes arising from any price discrepancies.
• Most importantly, choose the preferred color to trade in, especially when you are getting the buyback iPhone service, because certain colors are more popular in Singapore.

For Used Phone Trade in Singapore:

• The “Used Phone Trade in” column is the base price for used phone trade in. Conversely, the other columns represent the deductions for any missing accessories or box (No Full Set), dents and/or scratches on the sides (Dent on body), or scratches on the screen.
• The values on these columns are the maximum deductions you might get. In other words, if you wish to trade in your iPhone to Mister Mobile in Singapore and your device’s housing has lots of dents, there will be no further deduction beyond the stated value.
• We do not deduct the trade in price if you are only selling the device without purchase.
• “Full set” includes the original box, USB cable, wall-plug, earpiece. Additionally, for iPhone 7 or above, the “full set” includes the earpiece adaptor too.
• “Dent on body” refers to any cosmetic defect which affects the appearance of the device. For example, there may be scratches and dents on the sides of your device if you had never used phone covers.
• “Scratches on screen” refers to the cosmetic condition of the device’s screen. For example, there may be scratches on the screen due to the lack of screen protection.

Frequently Asked Questions for Phone Trade in Singapore

I am keen to trade in my device with Mister Mobile Singapore. How can I trade in my phone?

You should first contact us via SMS/WhatsApp at 92230410 (simply hit the WhatsApp button at the bottom right corner of your screen). Next, we will send you a confirmation text which you can easily show our customer service officers when you are here.

Sample text :

Hi, I would like to sell my new/used <model / capacity / colour>. It comes with/without full set (state missing items). I have seen that trade in price from your online quotation is <$xxx>. Can I visit Hougang / City Plaza / Woodlands outlet on <date & time> to deal?

Are there any hidden deductions?

There will be NO further deductions beyond our advertised base prices and deductions. For example, if our trade in price list states that the deduction for a dented housing is $30, we will not deduct any more than that.

How much is a used iPhone 11 worth? Can you give me a better price?

We believe that the high trade in prices we have quoted are fair, transparent, and reasonable. However, if you have valid reasons to believe you deserve a higher price for your set (for example, your used phone has barely been used and is as good as new), feel free to contact our admin at 92230410 for negotiation. On the other hand, do note that we turn down most of these requests, and our room for negotiation is minimal.

I forgot to bring my telco receipt and/or box and/or accessories for my iPhone. Can I bring them back at a later date?

Yes, you can return the missing accessories at a later date. However, we will hold a sum of money which you can redeem after you return the missing accessories.

Where are the dealing locations?

We have 3 dealing locations in Singapore, namely City Plaza, Woodlands and Hougang. Our location details can be found easily on our website. In fact, you can find our address and operating hours at the footer of our web pages.

Will I receive cash immediately after the trade in phone Singapore transaction?

Yes, all transactions will be paid in full, in cash.

Why do I have to present my NRIC during phone trade in? Is my personal data safe?

We cannot accept your phone trade in if you are unable to present your NRIC or passport at the point of transaction. Therefore, you should bring your NRIC for trade in, as part of the requirements of Singapore Police Force. Additionally, we are required to adhere to the rules and regulations of our Secondhand Dealers’ License. Furthermore, we are bound by Singapore’s PDPA law to protect your data against unauthorized access. As such, we will not use your personal data for marketing purposes.

Finally, do you provide pickup services to trade in my brand new iPhone in Singapore?

We provide pickup services at a flat fee of $15. However, this service is only available for NEW phone buy back in Singapore. We are also unable to pay upfront cash for this service. Consequently, all payment will be paid via bank transfer AFTER our delivery driver has sent the phone back to our store.

New phone trade in and re-contract

In Singapore, there are many users who sign up their mobile phone plans with telcos. You can sign or re-contract a mobile phone plan from telcos, such as Singtel, Starhub or M1, and get a brand new phone at a discounted rate. Hence, it is common to see users sign up for these plans – they then trade in the brand new phone to resellers in Singapore for a profit. If you are a citizen/PR, or you have a valid work pass, you can enjoy this benefit of re-contracting at Singtel, Starhub or M1. As OnePlus, OPPO, Samsung, Samsung Tab, Huawei, iPad and iPhone are the leading brands in Singapore at the moment, mobile phone trade in is really booming in Singapore. For example, Apple’s latest product the iPhone 11 series: iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max is very popular and their buyback price is also high.

Why trade in my new phone?

There are many reasons why phone users in Singapore will want to trade in their phones. Most of the time, the reason is their existing telco plans are due for re-contract- each contract cycle ends in 12 or 21 months. Since modern smartphones are designed to last longer than one contract cycle – most can last at least 3 to 5 years with proper care – users have an option to re-contract and purchase a new phone which they have no use for. The new phone price is also much discounted. Hence, these users smartly decide to re-contract and trade in their new phone for a profit, in part to offset their monthly phone bill. Popular brands in Singapore such as Huawei, One Plus, OPPO, Samsung, Samsung Tab, iPad, and iPhones are the most commonly-seen models for trade in or re-contact at the telcos.

Should I still re-contract if my existing mobile phone is working?

It makes a lot of sense to re-contract regardless of your existing phone condition, due to the discounted purchase prices of the new mobile phone. You should first re-contract, then decide to bring the NEW phone for a buyback or get a phone trade in with OLD phone to get a new one. If your existing phone is breaking down or you wish to upgrade, simply get a phone trade in with the old phone and upgrade to the brand new one. It is as simple as that, and this is truly the general behavior of most users for iPhone trade in Singapore.

Moreover, this is also why we see so many iPhones, iPads, Samsung, Samsung Tab, OPPO, Huawei and OnePlus mobile phones for resale in Singapore, new or used.

Why Mister Mobile in Singapore?

While there are many avenues for mobile phone or iPhone trade in in Singapore, most of these programs are targeted at used mobile phones. Besides resellers like Mister Mobile, there are barely any businesses who buyback new phones. Same goes for other brands like iPads, OPPO, Huawei, Google, Xiaomi, One Plus, Samsung Tab and Samsung.

Alternatively, you can trade in the new or used phone yourself via online platforms such as Carousell, Qoo10, Shopee or Lazada, but the returns for your effort is truly minimal because resellers like us earn marginal profits. Is it worth your time and effort to sell the phone by yourself to earn an additional $50? We are not even talking about the risk of depreciating trade in prices after time.

Why does everyone iPhone trade in Singapore instead of other brands?

There is a prevalent misconception in Singapore that the iPhone is the best option to re-contract and trade in. As a result, iPhone trade in in Singapore is the most common trend due to its high demand and adopters in Singapore. However, that is not always the best option. In fact, you should always check and compare prices to find the best mobile phone brand and model for high price trade in Singapore, which is indeed the best way to maximize your trade in profit.

Ending Notes

In Singapore, if you have a used iPhone and you have no use for it, we encourage you to trade in your phone without delay. To explain further, used mobile phones are essentially depreciating assets. Their resale value drops over time. Therefore, you should sell or trade in your used handphones as soon as possible, even more so when there are impending new model launches! The result of these new model launches means that your used phone will lose value even further. Although you sometimes need to keep a spare for emergencies, it is advisable to trade in any un-needed phones as soon as possible.
