Also make sure that the phone you intend to sell does not have and active contract with your service carrier. It is necessary to remove all personal information from the phone you wish to sell. Pictures, addresses, contact numbers, extra downloads should be taken out. Also remove the SIM card so that your information cannot be retrieved before you send in your old phone.
