We'll Match or Beat CeX
Got a current CeX cash price for the same device? We'll match or beat it on a like-for-like basis.*
*Like-for-like means the same device model, storage capacity and equivalent condition or grade. The CeX cash price must be current and verifiable, and refers to the CeX cash value rather than the higher voucher or exchange value. Final valuation is subject to inspection of the device. Terms apply.
PhonesForCash is not affiliated with, endorsed by or partnered with CeX. CeX is named only as an identifiable competitor for the purpose of the comparison. Read the full CeX price match terms.
Get Your ValuationHow Hull customers sell with us: PhonesForCash has no Hull premises. Hull is served by the tracked nationwide postal service: valuation first, insured send-in, testing and IMEI check, then payment by bank transfer.
Our counters are in St Helens and Carlisle, both a long way from East Yorkshire. There's no benefit in travelling — the postal figure is the same one we'd pay over the counter.
Selling from Hull works entirely by post: message the model, storage, condition and photos, get a guide valuation back, then send the device on a tracked, insured service using the instructions we give you. Nothing is posted until you've seen a figure and agreed to go ahead, and if the confirmed offer after inspection isn't what you want, the device comes straight back to you.
The University of Hull and the city's large rental market mean a lot of the handsets we buy from here have had more than one owner. If yours came from a private sale, make sure the previous owner has removed it from their Apple or Google account: without that, the phone can't be resold and we can't buy it, regardless of condition.

- 4Bring the phone to St Helens, or arrange a posted send-in if a visit isn't practical.
