Go Green This Earth Day With Verizon Wireless' Trade-In Program
Wireless Users Can Now Recycle and Get Value From Their No-Longer-Used Tablets
BASKING RIDGE, N.J., April 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Offering wireless users more options to get value from their no-longer-used devices and help the environment at the same time, Verizon Wireless today announced that the Verizon Wireless Trade-In Program, initially launched in September 2010 for cell phones, will now accept tablets.
"Whether you're a mobile user looking to move to the nation's most reliable network or a customer looking to trade up to a new tablet, our Trade-In Program provides options that people can feel good about," said Greg Haller, vice president of consumer solutions for Verizon Wireless. "Adding tablets to our lineup of eligible trade-in devices along with wireless phones, gives users another option to recycle old devices and get value."
Through the Trade-In Program, wireless users can easily determine if their device has value and if so, receive a Verizon Wireless gift card for trading it in. For example, a wireless user could trade in a tablet today in good condition and receive a Verizon Wireless gift card worth up to $300. Consumers can check tablets accepted and current trade values any time by visiting the Trade-In Program website at www.trade-in.vzw.com. Verizon Wireless gift cards can be used online at www.verizonwireless.com, in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores or to pay a Verizon Wireless bill. The Verizon Wireless Trade-In Program accepts wireless phones and now tablets from most major manufacturers and wireless carriers.
