How does selling to Cellify work?
  1. Pick your device, storage, carrier and condition to see your offer.
  2. Accept the offer. It's locked for 14 days.
  3. Print the free shipping label we email you and send your device.
  4. We inspect it, usually the day it arrives, and send your payment.
What devices do you buy?
Phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, smartwatches, game consoles, graphics cards, cameras, audio gear, drones, VR headsets and monitors. Don't see your model? Use Get a custom quote and we'll price it by hand within one business day.
How do I know if my device qualifies?
If it's in our catalog, we'll buy it in any condition, including cracked or not powering on. It must not be reported lost or stolen, and it must be removed from your iCloud, Google or Samsung account (see Unlocking).
Do you accept devices from outside Canada?
Right now we only ship labels to Canadian addresses. Devices bought abroad are fine as long as you're shipping from Canada.
Is there a limit to how many devices I can sell?
No limit. Selling 5 or more at once? Use Sell in Bulk for volume pricing and a dedicated rep.

Shipping Guide

How do I pack my device?
  1. Power the device off.
  2. Remove your SIM card, memory card and case.
  3. Wrap it in bubble wrap or a soft cloth.
  4. Put it in a sturdy box with padding on all sides so it can't move when shaken.
  5. Tape the box shut and stick the label flat on top. Cover any old labels or barcodes.

Don't send chargers, cables or boxes unless your quote asked for them. We can't return accessories.

Where do I drop it off?
Any Canada Post location or post office counter. Ask for a receipt. Your tracking number is also in your order email.
I don't have a box. Can you send one?
Yes. Tick "Mail me a free shipping box" at checkout and we'll mail a padded kit with the label already on it. It usually arrives in 3 to 5 business days.
Is my shipment insured?
Yes, every prepaid label is tracked and insured up to your offer amount. Keep your drop-off receipt until you're paid.
My battery is swollen. Can I still ship it?
No. Swollen lithium batteries can't go through the mail. Contact us and we'll help you find a safe option.

Unlocking & Account Removal

Why do I need to remove my account?
iCloud, Google and Samsung accounts lock the device to you, even after a reset. We can't wipe, test or resell a locked device, so your payment is held until the lock is removed.
iPhone, iPad and Mac: turn off Find My and sign out of iCloud
  1. Open Settings and tap your name at the top.
  2. Tap Find My › Find My iPhone (or iPad) and turn it off. Enter your Apple ID password.
  3. Go back and tap Sign Out at the bottom of the page.
  4. On a Mac: System Settings › your name › Sign Out.

Already shipped it? Sign in at icloud.com/find, pick the device and choose Remove This Device.

Apple Watch: remove Activation Lock
On your iPhone, open the Watch app › All Watches › tap the info button next to your watch › Unpair Apple Watch. This removes Activation Lock automatically.
Android: remove your Google account
  1. Open Settings › Passwords & accounts (or Accounts).
  2. Tap your Google account › Remove account.
  3. Repeat for every Google account on the phone.

Do this before a factory reset. Resetting first leaves Google's Factory Reset Protection turned on.

Samsung: remove your Samsung account
Open Settings › Accounts and backup › Manage accounts › tap your Samsung account › Remove account. Then remove your Google account the same way.
Is my phone carrier-locked? How do I unlock it?
Phones sold in Canada since December 2017 must be sold unlocked, and older ones can be unlocked for free on request. Call your carrier (Rogers, Bell, TELUS, Freedom and others) and ask for an unlock. Unlocked phones get a better offer, but you can still sell a locked one by choosing your carrier in the quote.

Data Wipe & Factory Reset

iPhone and iPad
Back up first. Then Settings › General › Transfer or Reset iPhone › Erase All Content and Settings.
Android (Pixel, Samsung and others)
Remove your accounts first (see above). Pixel: Settings › System › Reset options › Erase all data. Samsung: Settings › General management › Reset › Factory data reset.
Mac and Windows laptops
Mac: System Settings › General › Transfer or Reset › Erase All Content and Settings. Windows: Settings › System › Recovery › Reset this PC › Remove everything.
Game consoles
PS5: Settings › System › System Software › Reset Options › Reset Your Console. Xbox: Settings › System › Console info › Reset console › Reset and remove everything. Switch: System Settings › System › Formatting Options › Initialize Console.
What if I forget to wipe it?
We run a certified data wipe on every device we receive, whether you reset it or not. Your photos and files are never viewed or kept.

Condition Grading

Like newNo scratches or scuffs, even up close. Everything works. Battery health 80% or higher.
GoodLight wear you have to look for. No cracks. Everything works.

Recycle for free

Why recycle

There's treasure in your junk drawer.

Old phones and laptops hold gold, copper, cobalt and rare earth metals. We pull out every part that still works, pass on devices that can live again, and send the rest to certified recyclers so nothing ends up in a landfill.

How it works

Free, easy recycling in 3 steps

Start recycling
1Ship it to us for free
Fill out the short form below and we email you a prepaid Canada Post label. Pack your devices in any sturdy box and drop it at a post office.
2We sort it
Every device is wiped first. Then we check what still works. Working devices get refurbished, good parts get reused, and the rest is separated for recycling.
3Your tech lives on
Refurbished devices go to new owners, parts keep other devices running, and raw materials go to certified Canadian recyclers to be made into something new.

FAQ

Recycling, answered

Which devices can be recycled?
Phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, smartwatches, consoles, cameras, headphones, chargers and cables. Any brand and any condition, even if it doesn't turn on.
What happens to my personal data?
Every device is wiped to a certified standard before it is sorted. Still, we recommend signing out of iCloud or Google and doing a factory reset first. Our data wipe guide shows how.
How do I pack it for shipping?
Any sturdy box works. Wrap each device in paper or bubble wrap, fill gaps so nothing moves, and tape the label on top. Remove loose batteries that are swollen and drop those at a local battery recycling point instead.
Where do the devices go?
Working devices are refurbished and resold. Usable parts are harvested for repairs. Everything else goes to certified Canadian e-waste recyclers.
Could I get paid instead?
Maybe. If your device still works, get an instant quote first. If it has value we'll pay you for it, and if not you can still recycle it for free.

Our Mission

Good tech deserves a second life.

Most old phones end up in a drawer, then a landfill. We started Cellify to make selling them fair, fast and easy, so they get used again instead.

Fair payouts

Clear prices up front, a 14-day price lock, and no surprise fees. If an offer changes after inspection, we show you exactly why.

Less e-waste

Every device we buy is refurbished and resold, or its parts are recovered by certified recyclers. Nothing goes in the trash.

Trust you can see

Tracked shipping, status updates at every step, and a certified data wipe on every device. Your data is never viewed or kept.

Proud partner of SwapDesk. Our quote and trade-in tools are powered by SwapDesk.

"Your old phone still has value. Our job is to get it to someone who'll use it, and get you paid fairly for it."

The Cellify team

Why we started

Selling a used phone shouldn't mean lowball offers, sketchy meetups or a store credit you didn't want. We're a Canadian team that's spent years in phone repair and retail, and we saw the same thing every day: people sitting on devices worth hundreds of dollars because selling them felt like a hassle.

So we built the simple version. Get a real price in under a minute, ship it free, and get paid in days. Every device we buy gets a second owner, and you get paid for helping that happen.

The problem

Why old tech matters for the planet

Every new phone costs mined metals, energy and emissions. Every old phone in a drawer or a landfill wastes them.

62M tonnes

A growing mountain of e-waste

The world threw out 62 million tonnes of electronics in 2022. Only 22.3% was documented as properly recycled.

Global E-waste Monitor 2024
Toxic

Pollution in soil, water and air

Dumped or burned electronics release lead, mercury and other hazardous substances that harm people, especially children, near dump sites.

World Health Organization
1%

Mining for what we throw away

Only about 1% of demand for rare earth elements is met by e-waste recycling. The rest is mined, while US$62 billion of recoverable materials were left unrecovered in 2022.

Global E-waste Monitor 2024
~80%

Most of a phone's carbon is spent making it

For a typical smartphone, around 80% of its lifetime carbon footprint comes from manufacturing, before it's ever switched on.

Apple Product Environmental Reports
The fix

The greenest phone is the one that already exists.

Keeping a phone in use for just one more year cuts the need to make a new one. Across the EU alone, adding one year to the life of every smartphone would save about 2.1 million tonnes of CO2 a year by 2030, like taking a million cars off the road.

  2. Repair and harvestGood parts keep other phones running instead of new ones being made.
  3. Recycle the rest, properlyCertified recyclers recover metals so they don't have to be mined again.
