Please Note: Devices with unauthorized third-party repairs, severe structural frame damage, or activation locks (iCloud, Google, or Mi accounts) will not qualify for the trade-in program.

Frequently Asked Questions About Phone Trade-Ins in Kenya

Q1. Can I get an exact trade-in valuation online?

We can provide an estimated price range via WhatsApp based on your description, but the final binding trade-in value is determined exclusively after a physical diagnostic check by our technicians at our Nairobi office.

Q2. Where is the Phoneplace Care trade-in center located?

Our official assessment and service division is located at Bazaar Plaza, 4th Floor, Shop D2, Moi Avenue, Nairobi, Kenya.

Q3. Can I trade in a phone that I bought from another shop?

Yes. As long as you can provide valid proof of purchase or a verifiable original receipt alongside your National ID, the device is eligible for evaluation.

Your privacy is our priority. Once the trade-in is finalized and your data is successfully transferred to your new smartphone, our technicians perform a secure, permanent factory reset on your old device to ensure zero data recovery.
