Trading in your OnePlus device through Metro by T-Mobile can be a straightforward process if you follow the right steps. Properly transferring your phone ensures you get the best value and a smooth transition to your new device.
Preparing Your OnePlus for Trade-In
Before initiating the trade-in, make sure your OnePlus device is ready. This includes backing up your data, performing a factory reset, and removing any personal accounts.
Back Up Your Data
Save important files, photos, contacts, and app data to the cloud or an external storage device. This ensures you won’t lose any valuable information during the transfer process.
Perform a Factory Reset
Go to Settings > System > Reset > Factory Data Reset. Confirm and wait for the device to erase all data, restoring it to its original state.
Remove Personal Accounts
Sign out of your Google account and any other linked services. This step prevents issues with device activation for the next user.

Take your device to the store, where a representative will assess its condition. They will verify the device’s eligibility and provide an estimated trade-in value.
Online Trade-In
If trading in online, visit the Metro trade-in portal. Follow the instructions to describe your device, upload photos if required, and receive a trade-in quote.
Completing the Transfer
Once your device is accepted, you will receive a trade-in confirmation and instructions for sending your device if necessary. Ensure your device is securely packaged if mailing it.
