Phone bulk purchase

gbengaalaye — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 09:51:24 GMT

Hi everyone,

Any idea how I can buy used/returned phones from 3mobile in bulk ?

I have been doing some research and I have not been able to find anything.

Thanks.

So it would seem to be :-

Contact is threerecycle@ingrammicro.com

Hi @gbengaalaye,

The Three Community is primarily a forum for supporting personal customers, rather than commercial enquiries. Can you help me understand why you're looking to buy used handsets in bulk? If you can give a little more context I'll see if I can point you in the right direction?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hey @Avondale,

That's a good suggestion, the Three Recycle team take trade ins of old handsets from individual customers though. I think the OP is saying they want to buy a large number of used handsets rather than sell any.

Thanks,
Jonathan

@JonathanB

I understand that but if the Three recycle team are acquiring large numbers of old handsets, they must then be doing something with them. That's why I suggested @gbengaalaye might want to contact them.

Of course, "used/returned phones" could mean anything from nearly new to antique.

It would be interesting if you could get the Three recycle team to post something on here about their work. Folks ight be interested in reading about their activities and it might be a useful way of raising their profile.

hi,

I plan on buying for the purposes of sending them to another country to be sold to those that cannot afford new phones.

Thanks
