Verizon Wireless launched the Verizon Wireless Trade-In Program, allowing folks from any mobile operator to get value from no-longer-used wireless devices while help the environment at the same time.
Here’s how it works:
- You submit your device for appraisal.
- If you like the price (which is, let’s face it, usually below the real market value) – you’ll get a postage-paid envelope to mail in the devices.
