Trade in your phone and get a discount on a new one. How can I exchange my old phone for a new one? Why trade-in is for you

Megafon: exchange of an old phone for a new one is a special promotion designed to attract customers and provide visitors with attractive shopping conditions. The main objective of such an unusual offer is to reduce the costs of buyers, who get the right to reduce the cost of purchases by paying part of the cost of the goods with an obsolete or unnecessary device.

But each promotion has its own features, rules and conditions that must be observed. People who decide to take advantage of the discount should familiarize themselves in advance with all the most important nuances and details regarding participation in the telephone operator's program. We should not disregard the reasons that convinced the cellular company to accept such conditions, because, given the solid cost of modern smartphones, visitors will be entitled to a significant price reduction, which can hardly be called profitable for communication stores.

Those wishing to change their old smartphone to a modern device will have to perform the following steps:

  1. Choose a suitable communication salon on the site.
  2. Unlink the device prepared for exchange from the account.
  3. Visit the selected store and tell the manager working in it about the desire to join the trade in promotion.
  4. Give the phone to an employee of the cellular company.
  5. Wait for the completion of the evaluation and verification procedure.
  6. Get a discount.
  7. Spend it on shopping.

The first point is required, since not all existing points of sale accept outdated gadgets.

The subsequent purchase deserves special attention. You need to purchase goods on the same day and always in the same store where the equipment was rented. You will not be able to use the amount received elsewhere. Prohibited and postponing the purchase for a long time.

Promotion term

The offer described did not appear yesterday, the telephone company has been offering customers bargains for almost a year now. The campaign started in mid-December 2017 and has not stopped until now.

The expected completion date of the special program is the last day of December of the current year. But the organizers, which include a mobile operator and partners cooperating with it, reserve the right to make a change in the completion date. To a greater extent, this concerns the early termination of the sale of goods at a discount, but in theory it is possible to extend the existing offer. You can clarify this information on the official website of the program or on the operator's portal in the news section. If there is an important change in the rules, the organizers will notify customers about it using an appropriate message. But the search for such information is the work of the buyer himself.

Participation rules

In addition to the replacement conditions mentioned above, buyers of communication salons need to know the following nuances:

  • the purchase of goods with an additional payment does not deprive customers of the right to other discounts, offers and bonus programs provided by the store;
  • when renting an old mobile, its owner is not obliged to choose a phone, the discount received can be used to purchase another device;
  • the number of participations is limited, so 1 person will not be able to take more than two subjects;
  • devices are accepted without covers, protective films and other decorations that can hide the real state of the equipment;
  • it will be possible to exchange only your own smartphones, you will not be able to give the device to an outsider;
  • it will not be possible to refuse the transaction and return the gadget after the conclusion of the contract;
  • it is impossible to receive real money instead of the planned discount.

A complete list of rules and requirements for participants is available on the official website of the program.

Products participating in the promotion

The device that can be used to participate in the Megafon promotion "Exchange phone for a new one" deserves special consideration. Depending on the condition of the device, the telephone company divided smartphones into 5 categories:

  • in great condition;
  • in working order;
  • broken, but with an excellent body;
  • broken, with a working body;
  • marriage.

All devices that fall into the "marriage" category are not accepted, regardless of cost.

When evaluating a gadget and assigning it to one of the categories, the manager examines:

  • display status;
  • scuffs and scratches on the case;
  • button operation.

It is important to emphasize that, according to the rules of the program, stores only accept 4 brands of smartphones:

  1. Samsung.
  2. Apple.
  3. Sony.

Equipment from other manufacturers is not even considered. The model of the brought telephone set also matters. The amount of bonuses received depends on it. The exact amount can be clarified on the official website of the company in a table specially designed for this.

Additional Information

Special attention deserves the criteria for refusing an exchange, in which the visitor will not receive privileges. The device must:

  • have the correct IMEI (the information on the case must match the real information);
  • start and respond to the actions of the owner (through the display, since damage to the buttons is allowed);
  • not linked to an account.

Sometimes large chips and scratches on the display lead to refusal of reception. Screen condition is important for several Samsung models.

The program does not provide for other restrictions and important requirements, but if you have doubts and a desire to get additional information, you should call the company's contact center. Support operators will definitely clarify and clarify all incomprehensible moments and nuances.

Mobile is an integral part of every person's life. It can even be said that it is precisely without this apparatus that people exist as if without hands. Modern phones combine many functions, from a simple communication device to a full-fledged personal computer.

Many stores provide for situations where you can rent a cell phone. At the same time, the discount applies to the entire service, but such a policy depends on the period in which the mobile was purchased, as well as on the store itself.

Can I exchange a new phone for another in the store?

There are definitely only two situations when you need to exchange your smartphone for another:

  • you can change the phone to a new one if it turned out to be defective;
  • a replacement may occur if the purchased device was not liked during use - there is no Internet, not the same size or color;
  • The mobile phone or tablet may be of poor quality. This problem often occurs with products manufactured by market giants: Apple and the iPhone. The gadget can be returned or exchanged for a fee.

You can exchange a new, just purchased gadget for another one in the store where the purchase was made. Sometimes in large chain stores of equipment there is a promotion associated with the exchange of old gadgets for new ones, for example, Eldorado stores. Brand new good quality can be exchanged within two weeks(14 days), excluding the day of its immediate purchase.

The store can put forward its own conditions, however, the main provisions on which a replacement can be made:

  • poor equipment;
  • appearance - size, shape and even colors;
  • has not been used.

It often happens that a mobile or tablet is purchased as a gift, or there is not enough time in the store to evaluate the purchase. In such cases, the device can be exchanged for another with a surcharge.

The consumer can count on the exchange of the gadget for exactly the same, or a refund. It is very important for the procedure that the receipt, factory packaging and film be kept.

In order to exchange a purchase, you must have a package of documents with you: passport and check for goods.

How to exchange a phone with a surcharge for a new one?

You can exchange a gadget for a similar one, but having a different brand or model, only if you reimburse the difference in cost.

Additional payment is made by the buyer if the cost of the old device is lower than the new one. The opposite situation occurs if the cost of the old cellular device is higher than the new one - the difference is paid by the store.

The cost of the replacement item is set directly at the time of the exchange.


Required package of documents:

  • warranty card;
  • check (if kept);
  • the passport.

How to change the phone for a new one under warranty

You can exchange the device under warranty during the entire warranty period. However, it is not uncommon for a guarantee to be unspecified upon purchase, so an additional period of 2 years for an exchange has been introduced.

The buyer has the right to expect a complete replacement of equipment and compensation for losses.

What to do if the new phone is not working?

A common question that arises from the consumer: I bought a new phone, but it is faulty, can I change it? You can, of course, change. And regardless of whether the purchase was in a chain store or was bought in an online store.

It is even easier to exchange a device purchased online than when buying offline - the buyer did not see the gadget at the time of purchase. A faulty device belongs to low-quality goods, so the seller is obliged to accept it, even if he refuses to exchange it. This is stated in the law on the protection of consumer rights.

Steps to be taken for the exchange procedure:

  • Device quality checks. The consumer must be present during the verification procedure;
  • Examination of a faulty phone is carried out at the expense of the seller;
  • The phone is replaced if it is faulty due to the fault of the seller;
  • A written claim is made against the name of the seller or manufacturer, in case of refusal to fulfill the requirements of the buyer for a replacement;
  • The most difficult step will be going to court, but this usually does not come to that. There is an appeal only in case of ignoring a written claim.

Is it possible to exchange an old phone for a new one

You can exchange your old phone for a new one. Moreover, many chain stores hold similar promotions, in which there is an additional discount.

You can replace an old gadget with a new one under the following conditions:

  • the device is serviceable, not coded;
  • the device is not a counterfeit product;
  • no mechanical damage (scratches, broken corners, loose connectors, etc.);
  • complete set - usb-cable, especially for equipment from Apple,
  • charger, factory box and technical passport of the device;
  • Headphones available.

You should have an identity passport and a TIN to exchange your old phone for a new one.
