Use CompareMyMobile to sell your old Three phone. It couldn't be simpler - just read our guide to see how you can do it.
Is it possible to sell a contract phone?
You can sell a contract phone, as long as your deal with Three is over. If your Three phone is locked, it’s no problem.
Just use our ‘sell my mobile’ tool and tell us whether it’s locked or not.
If your Three contract is over, then your phone belongs to you and you can sell it if you want to. There’s no need to check with Three to get their permission in this case.
Is the price affected if my phone is locked to Three?
No. The good news is that there is a negligible difference between the price of locked and unlocked phones.
So if your phone is locked to Three, you can rest assured that you can sell it to one of our partners and get a good price for it.
Can I sell a phone that's still under contract?
No, you cannot sell a Three phone while still under contract. That’s because it still technically belongs to it while you’re paying off your deal. Once you’ve finished your contract, though, you can sell your Three phone without any hassle.

Will my Three phone be recycled?
Yes. Your old Three phone will be recycled whichever partner you choose to go with.
If it’s still in good condition, then it’ll likely be resold. If it’s seen better days, then recyclers may use its old parts to recondition other phones.
Do I need to do anything before sending my phone in?
We advise that you perform a factory reset of your phone, whether it’s locked or unlocked. This is easy and can be done through the Settings app on iPhones and Android devices. Be sure to back everything up first, though.
This will keep your data safe and make checking your device over easier for recyclers too.
Can I trade in a broken EE phone?
