DOHA: Vodafone Qatar yesterday announced that it has helped refurbish a total of 1,700 handsets over the last five months. This trade-in scheme, which started in June 2014, allowed Vodafone customers to exchange their old handset with a 4G-enabled smartphone.
Old handsets were refurbished by HYLA Mobile which also ensured 100 per cent data security for customers, by professionally wiping the phones, before refurbishing or reselling.
Between April and October 2014, Vodafone has refurbished a total of 137,713 handsets across 16 markets including Qatar.
To run this initiative, Vodafone partnered with HYLA Mobile, formerly known as eRecycling Corps, one of the world’s leading providers of products and services that capture, extend and optimise the life and value of used mobile phones.
The trade-in scheme is a permanent offer from Vodafone through which any customer can trade in their phone at any Vodafone store in Qatar.
Customers can check the value of their phone prior to the trade-in via http://www.vodafone.qa/en/smartphones/special-deals/tradein
