How our buyback process works

03

Instant payout

Accept the final offer and receive payment immediately via DuitNow or bank transfer.

What affects your buyback price?

Several factors move your final number up or down. Here's what we look at during inspection.

Locked status

Telco-locked iPhones typically fetch a lower offer than fully unlocked iPhones, but we still pay a fair market-based price.

iPhone model and storage

Newer models (iPhone 17, 16, 15) command more even when locked. Higher storage configurations also fetch more.

Physical condition

Screen condition, body scratches, dents, and back glass condition.

Battery health

We check Settings β†’ Battery β†’ Battery Health on iPhone. Higher percentage = higher offer.

iCloud account status

For locked iPhones, the iCloud account must be signed out and Find My iPhone turned off before we can purchase.

Original box and accessories

Original packaging, charger, and cable add value.

Proof of ownership

We require seller ID (MyKad / passport) and may ask for the original purchase contract or receipt.

Contract status

If the contract is still active and unpaid, this affects the offer. Settled contracts (with proof of settlement) get a higher price.

Common price deductions

Transparent so you can prep your device β€” or accept that some wear is normal.

Frequently asked questions

What is a telco-locked iPhone?
A telco-locked iPhone (also called a network-locked or carrier-locked iPhone) is restricted to a specific Malaysian carrier β€” usually because it was bought under an Easy Phone or postpaid contract from Maxis, Celcom, Digi, U Mobile, or Yes. If the contract terms aren't fulfilled, the carrier may block the iPhone from using any Malaysian SIM card. You'll see 'No Service' or 'SIM Not Supported' messages, even with a different SIM.
Is it legal to sell a telco-locked iPhone?
Yes β€” selling your own locked iPhone is legal in Malaysia. The contract obligation between you and the telco still applies (you may still need to pay off any outstanding balance), but the act of selling the physical device is not illegal. We require seller ID for every locked-iPhone transaction to keep things transparent and legitimate.
Do you buy locked Android phones?
No, we only buy locked iPhones at this time. Locked Android phones (Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, etc.) are not accepted. If you have an unlocked Android phone, we'd be happy to quote you β€” just message us via WhatsApp.
Can I sell any model of locked iPhone?
Yes, we buy locked iPhones from older models (iPhone 8, X, XR) up to the latest iPhone 17 Pro Max. The price varies depending on the model and condition.
What if I have paid the bills and the iPhone is no longer under contract?
Send us proof of settlement (final bill, payment receipt, or telco letter) and we'll buy the iPhone at the higher 'unlocked-equivalent' price rather than the locked price. Without proof, we still treat it as a locked unit for our records.
What documents do I need to bring?
Your MyKad or passport (mandatory for all locked-iPhone transactions). If your contract is settled, bring proof of settlement. If you bought the iPhone second-hand, bring whatever proof of purchase you have.
How long does the buyback process take?
Most locked-iPhone inspections take 15–30 minutes. Once verified, the transaction is on the spot β€” DuitNow, bank transfer, or cash.
Will my personal data be safe?
You should sign out of all accounts (iCloud, Apple ID, banking, social) and factory reset the iPhone before bringing it in. We will do a final check during inspection to make sure nothing personal remains.
