Sell your tech for cash
8 Reasons to choose GetTech’s Buyback service instead of Vodafone Ireland Trade In
With a variety of options available in Ireland, trading in your device has become the new norm when upgrading your phone. It is a safer and more convenient method of selling a device and there is an added peace of mind when selling to a registered company than selling it privately.
Customer Exclusivity
According to Vodafone’s website, in order to sell your device tos them you have to be an existing customer or be prepared to switch over to their network. This can be an unnecessary hassle if you aren’t looking to make the move. With GetTech you don’t have to make a purchase, sign up for any contracts or additional services to sell your phone. We offer a hassle free buy back program.
Phones Only
Vodafone are currently only taking in smartphones. With our service we will buy a variety of consumer electronics like tablets, smart watches, game consoles, computers and more!

Quote Process
Vodafone requires you to do a series of functionality tests on your device before you can get a final quote. With GetTech we have a quick and snappy process to determine the estimated trade in value meaning you can get an obligation free quote within 30 seconds!
Shipping Flexibility
When selling your device with Vodafone you have to take it to a DPD collection point or a select store which could be a bit out of your way. GetTech offers more flexible options like collection from your home using An Post, dropping it off at a local post office or using a DPD collection point. With an at home collection you also don’t need a printer to print off a label as your local postie will provide it for you!
Support Local
Devices sold to Vodafone are sent to ReCommerce, a company based outside of Ireland. These devices are refurbished to be sold into the European market. If you sell your device to GetTech you will be supporting a local Irish based company.
Flexible Payment Options
According to their terms of service Vodafone only pays via bank transfer if you are an existing Vodafone customer. If you are switching over to their network you need to use the money towards a purchase. With GetTech you have the option to be paid via bank transfer or PayPal and no purchase is necessary.

Diagnostic Tests
In order to sell your device using Vodafone’s online portal the device needs to be functional. If you are unable to do the diagnostic functionality test due to the device being broken for example you have to stop by one of their shops for assistance. With our service you can book the sale of broken phones online and we will fully test the device for you upon receiving it into our shop.
Quote Guarantee
According to Vodafone’s service they lock in your offer for fifteen days. After this date, the buyback value may change. GetTech will honour your estimated quote for thirty days, giving you double the amount of time to prepare the device and ship it to us.
