Frequently asked questions
Common questions about selling a water damaged phone to Cash My Tech.
Can I sell a water-damaged phone that won't turn on?
Yes. We buy water-damaged phones whether or not they still power on. Select the water-damaged condition when you quote, and you receive a guaranteed offer based on the model and storage.
Should I try to dry or repair the phone first?
No. Do not spend money on drying agents or repairs before selling, as they rarely add more value than they cost. Send the phone as it is and describe the damage honestly.
What about my data on a water-damaged phone?
If the phone will not switch on you cannot reset it yourself, so we securely data-wipe every device to industry standards in line with UK GDPR before processing. Sign out of iCloud or your Google account remotely first where you can.
