FAQ

Frequently asked.

Twenty-two answers about trade-ins, visits, payments, delivery, and your data.

Trade-ins

Pick the new device you want. We give you a rough range for your old one instantly. An agent comes to your home, verifies the old device, and confirms a value with you on the spot. You pay only the difference. If you don't accept the value, no money changes hands.

Usually yes, The rough range is a fair estimate; the agent's verified value is the authoritative one.

Smartphones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches, headphones, gaming consoles, and a growing list of other electronics. Working condition is preferred; we adjust value for cracks, water damage, and missing accessories.

Yes. Warranty status doesn't disqualify a trade-in. We do log it because it influences resale value.

Yes — up to four devices against one new product. Each old device gets its own instant estimate, the agent verifies all of them in a single visit, and their combined verified value comes off the price.

Yes — that's exactly what SwapMyTech does. Get an instant estimate online, pick any new device (it doesn't have to be a phone), and our agent verifies your old phone at your door. You pay only the difference.

Yes. Pick the laptop you want, get an instant estimate for your old one, and an agent verifies it at your home or office in Bengaluru. The verified value comes off the price and you pay only the difference — any brand toward any brand.

We take old laptops in exchange, verified at your doorstep in Bengaluru. Instead of cash in hand, the verified value comes off the price of anything in our catalog — often better than a cash buyer's doorstep lowball, and you see the estimate before anyone visits.

Usually. Cash buyers negotiate at your door, after you've committed. Our estimate is shown up front, the agent explains any change at the door, and if you don't accept, you owe nothing. The value also isn't limited to a like-for-like swap — an old phone can pay toward a laptop or a console.

Visits & verification

At the address you provide during checkout. The agent comes to your home or office in Bengaluru at the slot you pick.
