What condition must a device meet to be eligible for Verizon Trade-In?

For a device to be eligible for the Verizon Trade-In program, it must power on and be free of major damage. This condition ensures that the device is functioning at a basic level and can be resold or refurbished effectively. Devices that are powered on demonstrate that they are still operational, which is crucial for Verizon to assess the trade-in value accurately. Additionally, being free of major damage means that the device's structural integrity is intact, allowing it to be refurbished or recycled in a way that meets industry standards.

Other conditions that could negate eligibility typically involve severe physical damage that would render the device unusable or unresellable. The eligibility criteria do not necessitate a warranty status or restrict purchases to in-store only, making power functionality and minimal damage key determinants for successful trade-ins.
