In order to ensure fast & free service, we aim to pay for your device the same day we receive and test it. However, this is dependent upon Royal Mail's delivery, either way, you will not have to wait more than 3-5 days for the payment to clear into your bank account. A broken phone can also take up to 5 days for it to be fully examined, so please consider this when you sell your phone. There is no time to lose, literally, so sell your phone to us today! The sooner you sell your mobile online, the sooner you'll be getting a better deal for your old handset.
