Phone Exchange: What do companies do with old phones after taking them in exchange? The answer will surprise you..

What Amazon and Flipkart Do With Exchanged Phones: You buy new phones and to make the deal cheaper, you also exchange your old phone. But have you ever thought about what e-commerce companies like Amazon, Flipkart, or Cashify do with old phones? Many times you give away your very old phone in exchange, while some people take advantage of a good deal by exchanging a one-year-old phone.

In the exchange offer, companies decide their value based on their model and condition. That is why in exchange for these old phones, you sometimes get a discount of Rs 500, sometimes Rs 2000, and on some handsets, up to Rs 30,000. But what do the companies do with these old handsets? Let us tell you.

What do the companies do with old phones?

Sell ​​it again: If the phone you have given in exchange is in good condition, then the companies make some improvements in such phones and sell them again in the name of refurbished phones. Many companies need phones for their employees or sales staff and they buy such refurbished phones in bulk. Not only companies, but common people also buy refurbished phones many times, because their price is low and a few months can be easily spent with them.

What if the phone is very old?: If the phone is very old and even after polishing it cannot be kept in the refurbished segment, then the companies remove its parts and send it back to the same company that made it. Companies use the parts of that old phone in new handsets and the parts that cannot be used are recycled. Many important metals are extracted from it, which are reused.
