How FonOflip works:
Sell your phone in 3 simple steps
No market haggling, no courier drop-offs, and no waiting for warehouse clearances. We evaluate your phone online, pick it up at your doorstep, and transfer your payment on the spot.
Check your price & lock your quote online
Select your exact phone model and answer five quick questions about screen condition, body scratches, cameras, and accessories. Our valuation engine computes a firm, market-backed buyback price in real time.
- Fully Transparent: Every single deduction is itemised beforehand. No hidden charges or surprise cuts.
- 7-Day Price Lock: Once you generate your quote, that price is protected for 7 full days while you decide.
- Even Broken Phones: Devices that do not boot or have cracked screens are valued up front at fair parts value.
Book a free pickup at your home or workplace
Pick a date and convenient time window that suits you best. Our trained, background-verified pickup executive comes directly to your location with diagnostic tools and secure padded transit cases.
- Zero Shipping Burden: No packaging boxes, no visiting courier hubs, and zero transit loss risk.
- Verified Technicians: Every executive carries an official FonOflip photo ID badge and verifies your booking with an OTP.
- Zero Obligation: If you change your mind at the doorstep, you can simply keep your phone. The pickup remains 100% free.
On-the-spot verification & instant payment
Our executive runs a quick 5-minute physical inspection and hardware check in front of you. Once verified, payment leaves immediately via your choice of UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm) or direct bank transfer.
- Immediate UPI / IMPS: The money is credited to your bank account before our executive steps out of your door.
- Store Credit Bonus: Want even more value? Opt for FonOflip store credit and get an extra cash bonus on top.
- Official Legal Paperwork: A signed Bill of Sale and PDF tax invoice are emailed to you instantly, formally relieving you of all liability.
Your personal data is 100% safe with our certified wipe protocol
Selling a personal smartphone requires absolute trust. FonOflip ensures complete data privacy across every single device we buy back, from collection to final recycling or refurbishment.
In-Person Factory Reset
We guide you to sign out of Google/iCloud and factory reset the phone right in front of you before handing it over.
ISO 9001 Lab Sanitization
At our facility, automated algorithms overwrite internal NAND flash storage blocks to prevent any data recovery.
Official Certificate of Data Destruction
You receive a digitally signed legal Bill of Sale relieving you of all liability the second the device leaves your hands.
What to do before the executive arrives
Follow these four easy steps to prepare your phone for a lightning-fast 5-minute handover.
1. Back up your phone
Save all your photos, chats, contacts, and personal data to iCloud, Google Drive, or your laptop.
2. Sign out of accounts
Sign out of Apple ID / iCloud or Google Account. Remove screen lock PIN/passwords.
3. Remove SIM & cards
Eject your SIM card and any micro-SD cards. You can keep your personal case and accessories.
4. Keep a Govt ID ready
Keep a valid photo ID (Driving Licence, Voter ID, Passport) handy for the digital bill of sale.
Frequently asked questions
Have questions about our process? We have straightforward answers.
Only if the phone condition differs from what was selected online. Our executive checks the phone against the exact same 5 questions you answered online. If an undisclosed fault is discovered, you receive an itemised revised quote and an OTP is sent to your phone. Nothing changes without your explicit confirmation. If you decline, you keep your phone with zero charge.
Instantly. Once the physical check is complete and you approve the handover, the money is transferred immediately to your UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm) or bank account via IMPS. You never have to wait for the device to reach our facility.
We still buy it! A phone that does not switch on or has broken components is priced at its genuine scrap/parts valuation. We compute this number up front online so there are no surprises at your doorstep.
You only need to show a government-issued photo ID (Driving Licence, Voter ID, Passport, or PAN card) for the legal Bill of Sale. Aadhaar is completely optional. Original bill and box are not required, though having them gives you a higher price.
Yes, absolutely. Doorstep pickup is completely free of charge. Even if you decide not to sell after the executive inspects the phone, there is zero fee.
