How popular is smartphone trade-in in Russia?
In 2017, smartphone retailers announced the launch of a trade-in program. You bring an old device to a retail outlet and buy a new one at a discount equal to the cost of evaluating your gadget.
MTS became one of the first cellular operators to launch a trade-in campaign for smartphones in their communication stores. By the summer of 2018, the number of gadgets accepted under this program had tripled. On average, the exchange discount is about 10,000 rubles.
Why is trade-in becoming more and more popular? There are three main reasons:
- The exchange program allows you to buy a new smartphone at a discount, instead of taking a long time to collect the full amount.
- Trade-in saves the user's time. He no longer needs to independently search for a buyer on ad sites from the series "from hand to hand." It is enough to come to the nearest trade showroom.
- Trade-in ensures the security of the transaction. The device is handed over not to some unknown person who can still cheat with money, but to a trusted company.
How to buy an iPhone by trade-in from MTS
You can hand over a gadget to trade-in in more than 3600 MTS stores throughout Russia. Some Apple tablets also participate in the program. You can find out if your smartphone is on the exchange list.
Terms of exchange for trade-in in MTS
If you want to buy a phone by trade-in, you need to fulfill two simple conditions of the program:
- bring an old iPhone to the MTS salon;
- present in the MTS salon a valid passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.
Salon employees accept only the devices themselves, without components such as headphones, charging, USB cables and other things. Moreover, you do not need to present receipts, warranty coupons or preliminary diagnostics reports.
Before you take your smartphone to the MTS sales office, remember about the logins and passwords for accounts and disable the "Find iPhone" function, if it is enabled. Devices with unblocked accounts will not be accepted in trade-in: the store employee will not be sure that you really own the device.
Inspection of the apparatus
After you have disabled all accounts and unlocked your smartphone, the device is checked against the manufacturer's base by brand, model, memory and color.
The next step is to visually assess your smartphone or tablet. The device must be in either perfect or working condition. In the latter case, scratches, abrasions and small chips are allowed.
Accordingly, a smartphone or tablet in excellent condition must retain its presentation without visible defects.
Heavily damaged phones with broken screens are not accepted now, but soon it will be possible to return them too.
How the trade-in discount is calculated
After the device is recognized as suitable for exchange through a trade-in, an employee of a cellular salon checks it against the list of models participating in the program. Depending on the appearance, presence or absence of damage, the ransom price is set, which is a discount on the purchase of a new device. Then you just have to choose a new gadget.
A complete list of smartphones and tablets participating in the trade-in program can be viewed. The main condition here is that the cost of a new device should not be lower than the cost of the device, which is leased for exchange.
To clearly demonstrate how the trade-in program works, let's calculate the approximate amount of the discount on a couple of examples. Our calculations are for informational purposes only - the final amount is determined by the seller in the salon. All the details of the action can be found.
In MTS, trade-in is combined with some other promotions. For example, a buyer, in addition to a discount for a surrendered gadget, can get a cashback or take a new smartphone in an interest-free installment plan.
Let's say you own a 64GB iPhone X smartphone. Now you want to trade in an iPhone XS Max smartphone with the same amount of memory. You bring the top ten for an exchange, and the salon manager admits that it is in excellent condition. Its cost according to the price list will be 35 720 rubles. The novelty costs 87,890 rubles. We apply the calculation formula and get the amount you have to pay for a new smartphone:
87 890 - 35 720 \u003d 52 170 rubles.
For another example, let's take an Apple iPhone 7 with 256GB of storage and small exterior defects. A visual overview confirms that the smartphone is in working order. Therefore, its cost will be 11,930 rubles. Let's say you want to buy a 256GB iPhone XR by trade-in, which costs 77,890 rubles. We consider:
77 890 - 11 930 \u003d 65 960 rubles.
