Checking Phones
There are a few things you need to check before you flipswap a phone:
- Does the phone turn on and function properly?
- Is the phone water damaged?
- Has all personal information been removed from the phone?
- Does the phone have any broken parts?
When using Flipswap it is important to inspect phones very carefully to ensure your customer is getting the correct value for the trade-in. If you're unsure what water damage looks like or need more information about rating a phone's condition check out our free guide, or open the Flipswap Evaluator.

Flipswap will give you more money if it turns out that the phone is in better condition than originally stated. Discrepancies are infrequent, but they do happen. It is important to inspect the phone carefully before you issue a store credit.
