How we estimate trade-in prices
TradeIn Radar compares what Canadian carriers and retailers are likely to pay for your phone. Here's exactly where the numbers come from.
Estimates vs. real quotes
Each amount is either a real quote we collected from the provider, or an estimate marked with ~. Right now every amount on the site is an estimate from this model. We're working on adding confirmed quotes.
Estimates start from a typical market trade-in value for each model and storage size. We then adjust for each provider's usual pricing, how much they discount phones from other brands, and the condition you pick. Real offers can be higher or lower, especially during promotions. The provider always sets the final amount after inspecting your phone.

How we make money
Some links to providers may be affiliate links. If you trade in through one, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. That never changes the order of results: offers are always sorted by amount.
