What to do with Your Old Smartphone?

March 29, 2014

My recommendation is to keep it as a backup, and not post it on online to sell it.. Here are some tips once you are done with your old device:

1. Remove the memory card (if your device has one), usually a micro-SD card, or SD card.

2. Remove the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card from your device.

3. Perform a Master Reset, Wipe the Memory, Erase All Content and Settings. You may need to enter a password you have set.

4. Physically destroy the memory card and SIM card if no longer needed, or store them in a safe place. (You can re-use memory cards and SIM cards can be reused in a phone that programed to your current cell phone provider.

5. Terminate your account, and let them know your IMEI number is still good – just not active.
