We buy iPhone 15 and newer. Tap the one that looks like yours.
Storage and carrier affect your offer more than you'd think.
We verify condition in person, so an accurate answer means your offer doesn't change at the counter.
Tell us where to send the offer and we'll come back with a real number — fast.
Every phone is verified by IMEI at the counter. To sell your phone, it must:
*#06# to see it.Please confirm the checklist above — we need it to make your offer.
Pick whichever suits you — the price is exactly the same either way.
We'll email the label to the address you gave above, and post it to the address below.
We never ask for a bank account or card number.
Every phone gets a quick IMEI check the day it lands — standard for any shop that buys phones, and it is what lets us pay you straight away instead of holding your money for a week.
We've got your details for the device. Bring it in and you'll walk out paid the same visit — cash, Zelle, PayPal or check.
Walk in and get paid the same visit — or, if you're not near Detroit, ship it to us from anywhere in the United States.
Model, storage, carrier, condition. About a minute, no account needed, and you see the number before you commit to anything.
Try it above →Walk into 15300 Livernois with the phone and a photo ID — or choose “ship it” and we email you a prepaid label. No phone call needed either way.
Get directions →Paid before you leave the counter — cash, Zelle, PayPal or check. Posted it instead? Within one business day of it landing. We never deduct a fee from the number you agreed.
Track a sale you’ve started →These steps protect your data and let us complete the purchase the same visit. Skipping the iCloud step is the single most common reason a sale can't be finished.
Answer the questions above, choose Ship it to you, and tell us where to send the label. You get a sale number on screen straight away — no phone call, no account to make.
It arrives with your sale number already on it, so there is nothing to fill in — sending it to us costs you nothing.
Backed up, signed out of iCloud and Find My, passcode off — a phone still carrying activation lock cannot be bought and has to go back. Wrap it, use a padded envelope or small box, tape the label on, drop it at any post office.
Your tracking number appears on your sale page as soon as the label goes out, and we email you at every step — shipped, arrived, checked, paid. Nothing to chase.
Inspected the day it lands, then paid by check, Zelle, Cash App or PayPal — whichever you picked. If what we find does not match, we email you a revised number and nothing happens until you reply. Say no and it goes straight back, free.
The sale is in our system the second you finish the form, and we are expecting your package by its sale number. There is nothing to arrange and nobody to notify. Check where it is any time at smocell.com/track.
Call (313) 340-9621 only if you have a question — you will reach a real person, not a menu.

Cash, Zelle, PayPal or a check — you pick, and you're paid before you walk out. We never deduct a fee from your offer, and you're not meeting a stranger from an app in a parking lot.
Describe the phone accurately and the number doesn't move at the counter. We show you exactly how we grade it.
Our price checker gives you a real figure before you leave the house. No "up to" games, no mystery deductions.
Carrier-locked phones get an offer, and so do scratched and dented ones — you'll see that price online. Only a cracked screen or back glass needs a call, because that damage varies too much to quote sight-unseen.

iPhones only, and iPhone 15 or newer. We would rather tell you that up front than have you drive over with a Samsung or an older iPhone. We can still activate service on any phone you already own, including Android.
No. We buy iPhones only, no iPads, tablets or laptops. Being straight about it saves you the trip.
A kiosk has no overhead and nobody standing next to it, so it offers what it likes and you either take it or carry your phone home. We price against the real resale market, we show you the number before you commit, and a person looks at your actual phone rather than a machine guessing at it. If you do not like our number you keep your phone and there are no hard feelings — but you will not get that conversation with a kiosk.
