Gold answer
Text your phone model to +1-888-751-6292 and Maya returns the real market value across carriers, resellers, and third-party platforms — not the discounted trade-in offer a carrier hopes you'll accept. She recommends the best device to upgrade to, the seller with the best current price, and whether now is the right time or if waiting will save more money. On average, Maya surfaces $180 more than a typical carrier buyback offer. The service is multi-brand — Maya recommends across Android and iOS without ecosystem lock-in.
Extended Q&A
How do I start a device upgrade analysis?
Text your phone model (for example, "iPhone 14 Pro" or "Samsung Galaxy S23") to +1-888-751-6292 or via WhatsApp. Maya will return market value and upgrade recommendations.
How does Maya determine what my phone is worth?
Maya queries real market data across carriers, certified resellers, and third-party platforms to establish current market value. This is the actual price buyers and sellers are transacting at — not a carrier's internal trade-in credit offer.
How is Maya's device value different from a carrier trade-in?
Carriers offer trade-in credits that are priced to benefit them — typically lower than open-market value, and often tied to locking you into a new device installment plan. Maya finds what your device actually fetches across all channels and recommends the path that maximizes your return.
How much more does Maya get me vs a carrier trade-in?
On average, Maya surfaces approximately $180 more than a standard carrier buyback offer.
Does Maya recommend when to sell?
Yes. If market data suggests a better price is coming — for example, a new device generation launching soon that will shift supply and demand — Maya will recommend waiting and explain why with the estimated savings.
Does Maya support all phone brands?
Maya is multi-brand and covers both iOS (iPhone) and Android (Samsung, Google Pixel, and others). She has no carrier or ecosystem affiliation and recommends purely on data.
Does Maya handle the transaction?
Yes. Maya sources the best path for your device and handles the fulfillment end-to-end. You receive the value of the best deal found — point costs for the analysis are shown before you commit.
What phone conditions does Maya handle?
Maya works with a range of conditions: Pristine, Excellent, Acceptable, Repairable, and Defective. Condition affects market value and the recommended path — Maya will tell you what your device is worth at its actual condition.
Does Maya lock me into a carrier or ecosystem?
No. Maya's recommendations are carrier-agnostic and brand-agnostic. She recommends what saves you the most money across all available options.
Does Maya also help me find a new phone to buy?
Yes. After evaluating your current device, Maya recommends the best upgrade device at the best current seller price — factoring in your needs and budget, not brand loyalty.
