Device Trade-In FAQs
Your questions answered
How does the trade-in process work?
Bring your phone to any Cox store for a trade-in offer based on your device and its condition. A representative will quickly evaluate your device and provide a best offer.
How many trade-ins can I complete at once?
You’re allowed to trade in one device per new device purchased.
Can I get my device back if I change my mind?
All trades are final and cannot be returned.
How will I receive credit for my trade-in device?
You will receive instant credit on your account towards your purchase.
What devices are eligible for trade-in?
Smartphones and basic phones may be eligible for trade-in. You must be the rightful owner of any device traded in. If you purchased the device using a payment plan and still owe a balance, the device is not eligible for trade-in until the balance has been paid in full.
When can I trade-in a device?
Customers may trade in devices when purchasing a new device from Cox -- whether you are setting up a new line of service or buying a new phone for your existing Cox Mobile line. Trade-ins are currently only available in person, so find a Cox Store near you.
What do I need to do before trading in my device?
After you agree to trade-in, we strongly recommend you back up and transfer your data and then reset your device. You must turn off Find My®/Find My Device. You should remove any SD or SIM cards as well.
How do I complete my trade-in?
Your trade-in is completed once you’ve turned in your device to a Cox representative.
