Selling your phone in Dallas
Where can I sell my phone for cash in Dallas?
214 Cellular is a Dallas-based phone buyer serving all of Dallas–Fort Worth. Get an instant quote online, then meet us in a public spot near you — Downtown Dallas, Uptown, Deep Ellum, Oak Cliff, Bishop Arts, Lakewood and every DFW suburb — and get paid the same day.
Is 214 Cellular a real Dallas business?
Yes. 214 Cellular is based in Dallas, Texas (area code 214) and buys phones across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex every day. You can reach us by call or text, see our live price list online, and check our Google, Instagram and TikTok profiles.
What devices do you buy in Dallas?
We buy iPhones, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, iPads, MacBooks, Apple Watches, AirPods, Ray-Ban Meta glasses and gaming consoles — new, used, sealed, cracked or carrier-locked.
Do you buy phones in Plano, Irving, Garland, Arlington and Fort Worth?
Yes. We meet sellers across DFW including Plano, Frisco, Richardson, Irving, Garland, Mesquite, Carrollton, Grand Prairie, Arlington, Fort Worth, Lewisville and Denton. Text us your area and we set a time.
Can I sell my phone if I live outside DFW, like Austin or Houston?
Yes. Sellers in Austin, Houston, San Antonio and the rest of Texas can ship their device to us insured. You get the same live quote and get paid as soon as the device checks out.
Offers and payment
How much will you pay for my phone?
Your offer comes from our live price list, updated twice a day. Pick your model, storage, carrier, color and condition in the instant quote and you will see the exact offer before you commit to anything.
How do I get paid?
Cash in hand, Zelle, Cash App or PayPal — your choice. Most Dallas meet-ups are paid on the spot in under ten minutes once the phone checks out.
Is the quote I see online the price I actually get?
Yes, as long as the device matches what you selected. The quote lists every deduction up front — cracked back glass, carrier lock and so on — so there are no surprises at the meet-up.
Do you pay more for new, sealed phones?
Yes. Sealed, never-opened phones get our highest prices. The quote asks whether your phone is sealed new, open box or used, and prices each grade separately.
Is it better to sell to you than trade in at a carrier?
Carrier trade-ins usually pay in bill credits spread over 24–36 months. Selling to 214 Cellular gets you full cash value the same day, and you can compare our live price list against any trade-in offer.
Condition, carrier and safety
Do you buy cracked or broken phones?
Yes. Cracked screens, broken back glass and other damage are priced with clear deductions shown in your quote. Cracked back glass, for example, is a flat $80 deduction — no haggling.
Do you buy carrier-locked or financed phones?
We buy carrier-locked phones (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Spectrum and others) at a lower price, and the quote shows that deduction. Phones must be fully paid off — we cannot buy devices with an active balance or blacklist status.
Do you buy stolen phones?
Never. Every device gets an IMEI/ESN check before we pay, we record the ESN of every item, and we cooperate fully with law enforcement. We do not buy stolen, blacklisted or fraudulent devices under any circumstances.
What happens to my data when I sell my phone?
Every device we buy goes through a full data wipe. We still recommend you sign out of iCloud or your Google account and factory-reset the phone before the meet-up — it speeds up the check.
Where do we meet, and is it safe?
We meet in busy public places — coffee shops, malls and shopping centers across DFW — during normal business hours. You pick the area, we suggest a well-lit public spot.
