9 Best Places to Sell a Used Phone in Singapore (2026)

A drawer full of old phones is money and e-waste waiting to be dealt with, and Singapore offers more ways to clear it than most people realise. You can walk into a buyback shop, post a device through a manufacturer programme, book a doorstep collection or hand it over at a partner outlet. This guide covers nine providers that say they buy or trade in used phones, with a note on how each one works. We deliberately leave out quoted prices, because they change daily, so use each provider's own quote tool, compare at least two or three offers, and read the conditions before you commit to a sale.

Apple Singapore runs its own trade-in programme, which suits anyone who prefers a manufacturer-run route for an old iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch. According to Apple's trade-in page, you request an estimate online, back up and prepare the device, then send it in by courier or an eligible drop-off point. Apple says the value is paid by bank transfer, and that products with no trade-in value can still be recycled for free. It also notes that an in-person assessment may differ from the online estimate depending on the actual condition, so describe scratches and battery wear honestly. The programme is built around Apple hardware, so Android owners will need one of the other options in this guide.

Carousell is best known as a peer-to-peer marketplace, but it also runs a separate Sell to Carousell service where the company itself buys your device, so there are no strangers to meet and no haggling over messages. Its site describes a short online form about your phone, laptop or other gadget, followed by a quote and a choice between doorstep pickup and drop-off at partner outlets. Partner stores named on the site include iStudio and Challenger. The service says it accepts most major brands, including Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Oppo, Xiaomi, OnePlus and Vivo. It suits sellers who value convenience. The final amount still depends on how the device is assessed. Because Carousell is the buyer, there is no private negotiation to manage.

8th Ave Mobile is a buyback specialist that describes a three-step process on its sell-or-trade-in page: get an instant online quote, book a store visit or doorstep collection, then be paid by cash or PayNow after assessment. The shop says it takes iPhones, Samsung phones, MacBooks, iPads, wearables and some gaming consoles, and that devices in any condition, including cracked or faulty ones, are considered, with the offer reflecting the condition. It also says trading in carries no obligation to buy anything. Its site lists four branches near Ang Mo Kio, Bugis, Marine Parade and Jurong East. It also mentions doorstep collection for a small fee, which may suit anyone with several devices to move at once.

myhalo is a repair and refurbished-device business whose trade-in page is aimed at people who want a locked-in quote before they leave the sofa. The site says you receive an estimate in about thirty seconds, which stays valid for seven days, then choose free doorstep pickup or a self check-in at its Bugis Junction outlet. It describes a diagnostic check and an ISO 27001-aligned data wipe before payment by PayNow. The page also promotes a voucher for devices that have no resale value, so even a dead phone may not be worthless. It handles phones, tablets and laptops, and has a presence at Bugis Junction and Sim Lim Square. Compare the quote against others, since it is only one of several routes.

getgreenr is a refurbished-device retailer that also buys phones, tablets and other gadgets, which makes it a good fit for anyone who cares about where an old handset ends up. Its site describes an online quote, followed by a booking for drop-off or free island-wide doorstep collection, with payment by PayNow transfer or cash once the device is received and verified. It says every device goes through a certified data wipe before reuse, and frames the service around keeping electronics out of landfill. The company also publishes a guide comparing ways to sell a phone, though as a seller itself its advice is one perspective. It says it is also set up to handle fleets from businesses.

OnePhone is a phone retailer with a Race Course Road outlet, and its website carries separate trade-in and sell pages for new and used handsets. The used-phone page says it wants devices in good condition with the original box, publishes its own buy list by model, and asks you to message it on WhatsApp to lock in a price before visiting. The new-phone page uses the same approach for sealed units, noting that activated sets are valued differently. Because the shop quotes by model and storage size, it works well for common recent iPhones where you already know exactly what you have. We do not repeat any figures here, since the list changes frequently.

GW Mobile is a Sim Lim Square phone shop that combines sales, independent repair and device rental with a trade-in service. Its site carries a dedicated trade-in and buyback page, headed as a second-hand iPad and iPhone buyback, along with a Sell Your Device option in the menu, so Apple owners are the obvious target. The page itself gives few details, so contact the shop for current conditions before travelling. The site lists daily opening hours from mid-morning to evening, which helps if you are visiting after work. As a long-running repair business, it may also be worth asking whether a damaged phone is better fixed than sold. Its site also shows a contact email, so you can enquire before you set out.
