You can always sell your iphone and get an upgrade! Selling your cell phone is synonymous to saving the environment, making a few bucks, and just getting rid of old electronics that are, well useless to you. But, before you go online and sell that cell, you should read and employ a few simple, but necessary tips. These tips will help make for a smoother experience.First, make sure you erase all data from you phone or PDA, including all pictures. Cleaning up the outside is as important as cleaning the "inside". You wouldn't trade in your car without first cleaning it, so you should take some time to wipe down the phone and charger, especially if you are a smoker. Smokers get a bad wrap and when it comes to processing cell phones that smell of cigarette smoke, they are more likely to be subjected to heavier scrutiny.
Second, if you have a CDMA cell phone (Verizon, Sprint, Alltel, etc. The phones that do not require that little rectangle "smart card" also known as the SIM card.), make sure it is released. Released means your service provider has made it available to be re-activated by someone else. Just getting a new phone to replace your old one does not always release it. The best thing to do is to call them and request they release the ESN (electronic serial number).
If you do not have an unpaid balance or it was not lost or stolen, they will release it at your request. This will ensure that whoever you sell it to will be able to use it. Not having it released might slow down getting paid for selling your phone.
