AT&T Trade-In Value Calculator

Estimate the trade-in value of your old device with AT&T, considering both its market worth and potential promotional offers.

Understanding Your AT&T Trade-In Value

Trading in your old device with AT&T can be a great way to offset the cost of a new smartphone. The value you receive can vary significantly based on several factors, including the device itself, its condition, and any ongoing promotional offers from AT&T.

How AT&T Trade-In Works

AT&T typically offers two main types of trade-in values:

• Estimated Market Trade-In Value: This is the inherent value of your device based on its model, storage, and condition. This value might be offered as an immediate credit towards a new device or accessories, or as an AT&T promotional card. It reflects what your phone is generally worth on the secondary market.
• Potential AT&T Promotional Value: These are special, time-limited offers from AT&T, often advertised as "up to $X off" a new device. To qualify, you typically need to upgrade to a new smartphone on an eligible AT&T unlimited plan. Crucially, these promotional values are almost always distributed as monthly bill credits over a 24-36 month period, rather than an upfront lump sum. This means you need to maintain your service with AT&T for the full term to receive the entire promotional amount.

Factors Affecting Your Trade-In Value

The value you get for your device is influenced by:

• Device Model: Newer, flagship models (like the latest iPhones or Samsung Galaxy Ultras) generally command the highest trade-in values. Older or less popular models will naturally be worth less.
• Storage Capacity: Devices with higher internal storage (e.g., 512GB or 1TB) often receive a slightly higher trade-in value compared to their lower-storage counterparts.
• Device Condition: This is perhaps the most critical factor. AT&T categorizes devices based on their physical and functional state:
  • Excellent: The device powers on, is fully functional, has no cracks on the screen or casing, no water damage, and all buttons/features work.
  • Good: The device powers on, is fully functional, has no water damage, but may show minor cosmetic wear (e.g., light scratches).
  • Fair: The device powers on and is functional, but may have visible wear, minor screen cracks (that don't impede functionality), or other cosmetic issues. No water damage.
  • Damaged: The device has significant damage such as a cracked screen that affects functionality, a broken back, water damage, or doesn't power on at all. Damaged devices typically receive minimal or no trade-in value, especially for promotions.
• Promotional Eligibility: To receive the higher promotional values, you must meet AT&T's specific terms, which often include purchasing a new device on an eligible installment plan and maintaining an eligible unlimited data plan.

Maximizing Your Trade-In Value

To get the most out of your trade-in:

• Keep it Pristine: Protect your phone with a case and screen protector from day one. The better the condition, the higher the value.
• Check Promotions: Always look for AT&T's latest trade-in promotions, as these can significantly boost your device's value, especially for newer models.
• Factory Reset: Before trading in, always back up your data and perform a factory reset to wipe all personal information.
• Clean Your Device: A clean device makes a better impression during inspection.

Disclaimer

This calculator provides an estimate based on common AT&T trade-in practices and general market values. The actual trade-in value you receive will be determined by AT&T upon physical inspection of your device. Promotional offers are subject to AT&T's terms and conditions, which may change, and typically require specific new device purchases, eligible service plans, and are distributed as bill credits over a fixed term.

Potential promotional value is typically provided as bill credits over 24-36 months and requires an eligible new line/upgrade and plan.
