Worldwide leader in deriving the most value from used mobile devices
Today’s consumers expect to trade-in their used devices. Once a “nice to have,” it’s now a competitive requirement to offer trade-in at time of device activation or upgrade.
That’s why the world’s top wireless OEMs, operators and retailers trust iONETEK. We remarket millions and millions devices a year and have access to distribution channels in 100+ countries. We’ll ease the way and help you shine.

Device collection everywhere
In-store, online, app, enterprise, call center—iONETEK uses multiple device trade-in points to satisfy customers and maximize your collection opportunities.
Easy, fast, accurate value assessment
Built on volumes of pricing data, our proprietary software enables your retail store reps to quickly evaluate a used phone, accurately quote its residual value, and then provide the customer with an in-store credit, bank transfer, discount on a new phone, or other compensation.
Give phones a second life
After inspection, data wiping, refresh and repair, used phones are sold worldwide. About 95% are remarketed; the remaining 5% are considered beyond economic repair and recycled responsibly.
Reduce risk from early-upgrade programs
Don’t let concern about future spot market price volatility overshadow the benefits of an early upgrade program. iONETEK’s Forward Price Commitment Option provides carriers and retailers with a pre-determined value for iconic devices. When the device is traded-in after a year of use, you know exactly what you’ll get for it.
