Verizon Wireless Launches Trade-In Deal for Tablets

Those United States users who already have a tablet PC they no longer need can now head over to Verizon Wireless to enter the carrier's Trade-In Program to get rid of it.

Initially launched in September last year for smartphones and feature phones, the Verizon Wireless Trade-In Program is now accepting tablet PCs as well, so that users can enjoy more options when it comes to getting value from their no-longer-used devices

“Whether you’re a mobile user looking to move to the nation’s most reliable network or a customer looking to trade up to a new tablet, our Trade-In Program provides options that people can feel good about,” said Greg Haller, vice president of consumer solutions for Verizon Wireless.

“Adding tablets to our lineup of eligible trade-in devices along with wireless phones, gives users another option to recycle old devices and get value.”

The Trade-In Program at the mobile phone carrier offers wireless users the possibility to learn whether their old device still has some value, and to receive a Verizon Wireless gift card for trading it in.

According to the wireless services provider, depending on the condition of the tablet PCs, users could receive for them gift cards that worth up to $300, via the trade-in program.

Users interested in learning more on the Verizon Wireless Trade-In Program should head over to the carrier's website here for that.

“Verizon Wireless gift cards can be used online at www.verizonwireless.com, in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores or to pay a Verizon Wireless bill,” the carrier explains.

“The Verizon Wireless Trade-In Program accepts wireless phones and now tablets from most major manufacturers and wireless carriers. For additional information, visit www.trade-in.vzw.com or call the Trade-In Support Center at 1-866-870-5446.”

The trade-in program is only one of the options that Verizon offers to users interested in recycle wireless devices. Another such program would be HopeLine from Verizon, which collects devices and accessories in an attempt to offer help to victims of domestic violence. More info on this program can be found here.
