Toss Your Old Phone? Think Again
Market for Used Smartphones Is Booming
U.S. wireless carriers have found a new appreciation for used smartphones.
Carriers were long happy to let customers drop their old phones in desk drawers or pass them down to their kids. But the market for previously owned iPhones and Androids is booming, producing high and predictable resale values that carriers are starting to exploit.
That shift underlies a spate of recently announced plans from T-Mobile US Inc., TMUS 0.56 % AT&T Inc. T -0.29 % and Verizon Wireless that offer users more frequent upgrades. Instead of insisting subscribers pay off their phones in full before becoming eligible for newer models, carriers are now confident they can milk enough value from trade-ins to let upgrades happen more frequently.
"Many of the phones could have a $200 or $250 value," AT&T Chief Financial Officer John Stephens said on a call with analysts last week. "That's what makes this project work."
What this might mean for consumers and device makers isn't yet clear. The new trade-in plans from AT&T and Verizon Wireless have been panned by some smartphone market observers as too costly. And the strong demand for used phones is a sign that many consumers are finding older devices are good enough as the pace of innovation from device makers like Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. slows.
Still, the emergence of new efforts to capture the value of used phones ultimately could leave the smartphone market more like the auto business, where trade-ins fuel sales of newer models.
Coming This Week
- An interactive tool to help you sort through the wireless-plan mess and find the service that's right for you.
For years, the main market for used American smartphones has been overseas. While some are sold on eBay or to wholesalers, resellers like Brightstar Corp. packed the majority of them into boxes and shipped them overseas, generally to locations in Asia, Africa or Latin America.
In Hong Kong, Brightstar has its own auction warehouse where hundreds of people gather to bid on bunches of used phones every day, said Brightstar Chief Executive Marcelo Claure. The company has tried to convert to an electronic format, but buyers like to inspect the phones before putting a bid in an envelope. Tens of thousands of used phones are sold at the facility every day, he said.
Do This First
Your phone isn't just a phone, it's a detailed record of your life. So whether you are trading in to help pay for an upgrade or looking to ditch that dinosaur in your sock drawer, take these three steps first.
"Most of the world cannot afford a new iPhone or a new Galaxy," said Mr. Claure, whose company expects to process more than 25 million used phones this year. "But once the phone is one day old, it becomes cheaper."
U.S. carriers have left the business of trading in their customers' phones to resellers like Brightstar and Gazelle Inc., which estimates the U.S. used phone market could be worth $5 billion a year by 2015.
The market is fast growing but is still small compared with the annual market for new phones U.S., which Strategy Analytics puts at $57 billion.
Many consumers simply aren't aware of the value of their device, said Israel Ganot, Gazelle's chief executive. That in part is because carriers have masked the price of smartphones by selling them at subsidized prices to subscribers who sign long-term contracts.
A base model of the iPhone 4, launched more than three years ago at $200 with a contract, can now be sold to Gazelle for $130. Many U.S. carriers now offer the same phone free with a contract.
Michael Graham, of Lee's Summit, Mo., said he exchanged four smartphones to AT&T last year when his family switched from Sprint. S -0.45 % He has previously sold his used phones on eBay, learning about the cost of secondhand devices after his 12-year-old daughter dropped her flip phone in the sink a few years back.
"I always keep in mind when I buy a phone, that I'm probably going to be reselling that phone down the line," said Mr. Graham, who works for a local food company.
Carriers have stayed out of the market, because they generally have little incentive to encourage upgrades to new smartphones. Every time a customer trades up, the carrier has to pay another profit-sapping subsidy.
Both AT&T and Verizon recently extended the waiting period before subscribers become eligible for new phones, and carriers have been imposing fees for trading up.
They shifted gears this month with plans that replace subsidies with monthly payments to cover the cost of new phones. The plans let users trade up after six or 12 months depending on certain conditions.
AT&T said it would refurbish the trade-ins and either resell them to customers as discounted devices or use them as replacement devices through insurance programs. Verizon and T-Mobile declined to provide details.
Sprint Corp., the other national carrier, wouldn't say whether it is planning a similar upgrade plan, but does already offer a trade-in program used in four out of every 10 transactions in Sprint stores, spokeswoman Marci VerBrugge-Rhind said.
AT&T and Verizon had similar programs before they launched their new upgrade plans. They may get more use as subscribers get more familiar with the value of their aging phones.
"It is going to be part of regular behavior, having consumers upgrade by trading in their old device," Gazelle's Mr. Ganot said.

Wof changes a 'double blow'
Posted at 11:58am Sunday 27 Jan, 2013 | By Zoe Hunter email@example.com
The Motor Trade Association says the Government's new changes to the country's vehicle testing system are a causing a 'double blow for motorists.'
The new wof changes are being dubbed a 'double blow' for motorists.
While providing the appearance of saving time and money, the changes may in fact increase costs and the risks to motorists, while at the same time lead to the loss of more than 2,000 jobs from within the automotive industry according to MTA.
The key changes to the warrant of fitness system include an initial inspection for new cars, followed by annual inspections once vehicles are three years old, annual inspections for vehicles three years and older and first registered on or after January 1 2000; six-monthly inspections for vehicles first registered before January 1 2000 including information and education to increase people's awareness of regular vehicle maintenance and extra police enforcement activities.
The new changes are expected to come into force in July next year.
MTA says under the proposal put forward by Associate Minister of Transport Simon Bridges earlier today, motorists will only require six-monthly checks for vehicles registered after January 1 2000.
The new changes mean the majority of the fleet will move to 12-monthly WoF inspections. A double blow for motorists, says MTA.
MTA spokesperson Ian Stronach says the opportunity for Vehicle Licensing Reform providing New Zealand with a unique opportunity to bring meaningful change to a range of key elements of the wider licensing system has been deferred.
"Instead we have a piecemeal deconstruction of the vehicle inspection regime that has served and protected motorists well for many years."
With inspections for vehicles 13 years and newer, to be required every 12 months, Ian says many vehicles will now be travelling twice the distance and going twice as long before undergoing the minimum safety check.
He says many drivers rely on safety checks as their primary safety and operational assurance.
"In an automotive environment like ours, that is too long and too far. Minor repairs will turn into major work, negating any theoretical savings."
Ian says New Zealand's fleet is old and ageing rapidly, and the Government's preferred option provides little real confidence that enforcement and educational capability will be properly increased to manage the risks.
"Surely the onus must be on improving safety levels, not eroding them.
"Even recently released research, co-sponsored by the New Zealand Transport Agency, casts doubt on the likely outcome and cost of the changes being proposed.
"If the so called experts aren't sure of what might happen, why are we pushing ahead?"
"At a time when Government is looking for ways to reduce costs to motorists it has been quite prepared to increase fuel taxes and advise that they will continue to rise in the coming years.
"It seems that it's quite prepared to reduce costs for motorists as long as it doesn't affect Government income."
Ian says the Government could have streamlined New Zealand's cumbersome annual licensing process, made individual motorists more accountable for the risks they represent and improved the integrity of the existing inspection process.
"Instead they are selling this reform to New Zealanders on the back of the potential that they can save themselves around $50 a year."
He says having to carry out fewer inspections will mean some providers will simply opt out of the business, meaning some motorists will have to travel further and take more time to have an inspection carried out.
"It will also only add to the jobless total, while pushing more skilled people out of the industry.
"The Government seems obsessed with the principle that, because New Zealand's inspection regime is unique, it needs to be changed.
"That's a very narrow view which they don't apply consistently. Ultimately, this decision sells all New Zealanders short."

what we see everyday! so many cars that are "new" ie 2010 and they are failing on seatbelts and brakes... things that are important! if they change the wof system you can almost certainly gaurentee that there will be more road accidents.. in time leading to higher acc levies.. claimed back through the rego. why not make insurance compulsory and then kiwis can complain about the cost of running a car! gas is cheap as over here compared to some countries (the uk) and insurance is also major cheap! they want to encourage people to buy newer cars.. then drop the price! we pay almost double for a small hatch that what they do in europe. leave the wof alone as old jap crap that exists out here needs it! we see about 40% of cars a day fail! thats a very high percent!! wouldnt want on eof them running up the ass end of my car thank you very much!

AND charge local garages horrendous fees to be a member of their forced regime. It is great that they are getting hit the hardest by their Government taking their almost monopoly income from them. Bring on the honesty. As said earlier people who do not get their wof checks done by due date ALWAYS will be the same so the Police might finally learn how to check a car for safety instead of for failing to comply with some other idiot law like flags on boats!!

Thank God, this is one policy that NZ motorist should be happy with. The WOF system was in need of big change! I find WOF on new cars are pretty silly, and pretty much a waste of time and money! Good on the government for getting some savings for NZer's, it 's hard enough out there at the moment. As with the comment from MTA/LTSA about "2000 jobs lost" that is a pure nonsense figure, but even if it was true their argument is flawed. The purpose of a WOF Check is not to create jobs for garages, if that was the purpose we would have monthly checkups. The AA has commented (no commercial interests involoved like MTA/LTSA) NZ has the most frequent safety inpection in the world. No other country requires cars aged 6 years or older to be tested twice a year. Some countries have annual inspections, others like Australia, and the United States have no regular inspection at all. Yet despite all the differences in inspection frequency the number of crases caused by vehcile faults in NZ is about the same as other countries at about 2.5%, or less than 0.5% where it is the sole cause. The writing is on the wall!

roger1 you are correct VTNZ is owned by the MTA, the ones that have been kicking up a stink since this can to light, VTNZ/MTA its called karma, pitty the workers who will lose jobs but that wont worry VTNZ.
Posted on 27-01-2013 22:44 | By Blessed
they should leave WOF as it is and drop the Registration price... i had tyres that past a WOF but they guy told me to change 2 that were borderline within the next 6 months, (so i did)if WOF goes to 12months, i beleive it will be a safety risk
Posted on 27-01-2013 17:28 | By dgk
Will be interesting to see all the denied insurance claims that result from new vehicles that aren't in warrantable condition.
Posted on 27-01-2013 15:55 | By bigted
damned if they change this and damned if they don't.
Posted on 27-01-2013 14:54 | By Phailed
Modern cars don't require WOFs for the first few years. People who are going to drive round on bald tires will do so anyway because they don't get WOFs or registrations anyway. Crack down on criminals in cars and leave ordinary people alone. Well done to the Government on making these sensible changes.

There is absolutely nothing new here. Quote from the article in Sunlive...Quote: "Even recently released research, co-sponsored by the New Zealand Transport Agency, casts doubt on the likely outcome and cost of the changes being proposed. "If the so called experts aren't sure of what might happen, why are we pushing ahead?" Once again we see the government and the' illustrious' Mr Bridges denying facts that come from their own co-sponsored research. We have seen this throughout the proposed education changes where facts have been ignored and policy has been developed because "we can do things better here than other countries!" COME ON NZ – TIME TO WAKE UP AND MOUNT THE COUNTER ATTACK OR WE WILL GET WHAT WE DESERVE VIA OUR COMPLACENCY!!

Wildlife and Pest Control
The country environment is conducive to animals of all kinds, including coyotes, moose, deer, and occasionally cougars. In Parkland County, there are rules, regulations and common sense guidelines to consider when dealing with animals, whether they are living on your property or in the wild.
When driving in rural areas, watch out for deer and moose, which often cross the road unexpectedly, especially at dusk or dawn. Enjoy wildlife from a distance and avoid chasing them or allowing your pets to do so.
Contact Alberta Fish and Wildlife at 1-877-944-0313 for any wildlife-related concerns or questions.
Hunting is allowed within the county subject to some restrictions. No person has the right to enter private property to hunt unless the landowner grants permission. Also, under Provincial Regulations, it is an offence to discharge a firearm within 183 metres (200 yards) of any occupied building in the County.
Hunting of any kind is not permitted on any municipal/environmental reserve or on County recreation lands.
For more information, contact Community & Protective Services at 780-968-8400 or visit the Hunting and Fishing page under Recreation.
Amendments to the Discharge of Firearms Bylaw
The Discharge of Firearms Bylaw has undergone a number of amendments from the previous version in 2009. The proposed changes are highlighted as follows:
The use of firearms is prohibited in the following areas within Parkland County:
- All areas previously identified in the 2009 Firearms Bylaw
- Parks
- All subdivisions, and
- Hamlets within the County
The use of firearms is permissible in Wildlife Habitats as identified within the Discharge of Firearms Bylaw (see link below).
Individuals exempt from using firearms within Parkland County include:
- Peace Officers or members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and
- A person operating a firearm at a shooting range or gun club or any similar facility which is designed and operated as such.
The penalties associated with violating the Discharge of Firearms Bylaw are as follows:
- For a first offence – a fine not more than $500.00 or (in default of payment) imprisonment for three (3) months; and
- For second or subsequent offence – a fine not more than $1,500.00 or (in default of payment) imprisonment for six (6) months.
A full copy of the amended Discharge of Firearms Bylaw can be found here.
Pest Control
Some wildlife species are considered pests or could be dangerous. The following information will help you in dealing with some of the animals that might find their way onto your property.
If you have any questions or would like further information, contact Agriculture Services at 780-968-8467.
If you encounter a coyote, make the experience unpleasant for the animal. Make it feel unwelcome in your neighborhood by doing the following:
- Respond to their presence aggressively by making yourself appear large
- Wave your arms overhead, or thrust long objects like a walking stick toward the coyote
- Throw rocks, sticks or other objects
- Carry a whistle and blow it to startle the animal
- Shout in a deep voice and maintain eye contact.
If the coyote continues to approach, back away slowly and move toward buildings or human activity.
Do not turn away or run. This will encourage the coyote to chase after you.
Wild Boars
The wild boar at large was declared a pest by the Minister of Agriculture as it poses a threat to destroy land and agriculture property. The designation was made because wild boars are not native to Alberta. The animal was brought here from Europe in the 1990s to be raised for its meat. Some animals escaped or were released due to lack of markets. Call 780-968-8467 for more information on the Wild Boar and Parkland County's participation in the Wild Boar Bounty Program.

After you have your FSA ID, go to http://fafsa.gov and follow directions to file the FAFSA (and signature page if directed to do so)
University of California Davis, Code #001313 (include a housing code on the form)
File your FAFSA as soon after January 1 as possible. Although the FAFSA requests "actual" tax information, estimates are acceptable and may be used to meet the March 2 priority deadline by choosing the "will file" option during application. If you have completed your taxes, we recommend using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool available through FAFSA to directly access your tax returns from a secure IRS web site to simplify providing income information.
Provide your email address on the FAFSA. This allows the Federal Processor to send you e-mail when your FAFSA is received and processed and direct you to a web site to view your Student Aid Report (SAR) and make corrections.
Remember to allow enough time for the federal processor to receive your FAFSA by midnight on March 2. The federal processor is on Central Time and many students across the nation are trying to file their FAFSA in March so you need to file several hours or even a day early to ensure your FAFSA doesn't get "stuck" in a federal system slowdown.
When you file online, be sure to write down your confirmation number or print the confirmation page, which is provided when your FAFSA is accepted and submitted online. If you don't receive a confirmation number, your FAFSA has not been properly completed or filed.
If you do not want to apply on the Web, you can obtain a paper version from the FAFSA web site under the link "FAFSA filing options" or by calling 1-800-4FEDAID.
All applications must be received by the federal processor by March 2 for priority consideration for our aid programs.
If you use estimates to complete the FAFSA, after the April 15 tax filing deadline you will begin to receive notices from FAFSA to update your tax information.
To update the FAFSA change the "will file" to "filed" and import the tax information via the IRS data retrieval tool. We advise waiting about two weeks after filing the tax return to ensure your information is available for upload via the IRS data retrieval tool.
If you are unable to use the tool, please refer to your copy of the IRS tax return to update the necessary fields.
Please inform our office if there is a great difference in the information originally provided, a significant change could adjust the amount/type of aid offered.
Completing the Need Access
It is important that the UC Davis School of Law maintain a public legal education that is of the highest quality and that is accessible to students of all socioeconomic backgrounds. To ensure UC Davis Law remains financially accessible, we offer need-based grants which are intended to assist students from low-income families (such as those who were Pell grant recipients as undergraduates). To determine eligibility for these grants we use the additional information provided by Need Access application.

There is a fee for filling Need Access (currently $28 first time, $15 continuing), however this fee is nominal considering the amount of need-based grant funding offered.
Parent information is required on this application even if you claim independent status, unless you meet one of the exceptions below:
- Natural parents are deceased
- Student is 30 years of age or older by December 31, 2016
- Student is a veteran
- Student is married
- Student has legal dependents
- Student was considered financially independent by his/her undergraduate institution

Please respond to any request as soon as possible; review of your file may be delayed until all requested documents are submitted. The volume of material to be reviewed can be substantial and we appreciate your patience during the review process.
Accuracy is important when you apply for financial aid. All information is subject to verification according to state and federal regulation. Any false statements or misrepresentations will be cause for denial, reduction, cancellation, or repayment of financial aid.


text: AdChoices Terms of Use Privacy Policy Hide ENTERTAINMENT Guy Gear CES Reveals CES Reveals The 5 Craziest Reveals From CES M.D. Slutsky January 16, 2012 Share Tweet 0 Shares All eyes in techdom were on Las Vegas last week, as the world's major electronics manufacturers (minus Apple, of course) converged on Sin City for the 2012 International CES, all hoping to get attention for their latest gadgets and gizmos. While the show was dominated by TVs, tablets and ultrabooks (a fancy new word for "slim, Apple-like laptop"), there were also some truly surprising and weird products on offer. Some will never make it to market; others may, against all odds, become part of our lives. Here's five of the craziest gadgets unveiled at CES this year. 1. The Human HDMI Cable Ericsson demonstrated a truly crazy technology at CES this year, something it has deceptively given the mundane name "capacitive coupling." What it does is use the water in your body to transfer data. At the onstage demo, the company's CEO transferred a photo from a phone to a monitor just by touching them. In the future, you might not have to spend hundreds of dollars on expensive cables — you might actually become them. 2. i'm WATCH: The First "Smartwatch" You've heard of smartphones, but smartwatches? This new product from Blue Sky Group offers voice calling, Facebook, music, apps, and more — all on your wrist. Stylishly constructed and available in a variety of colors, this could either be the next must-have fashion accessory, or a barely-usable novelty item. Still, it looks pretty neat. 3. The Nikiski See-Through Laptop Intel showed off a prototype laptop they're calling the Nikiski, which features a long, transparent touchpad beneath the keyboard. The twist is, when you close the notebook, you can see through the touchpad to the screen, which is meant to show stuff like weather and email widgets you can interact with. How this is better than just pulling out your phone, we're not sure, but it sure looks different. 4. The Transparent TV See-through seemed to be a theme at this year's CES. We're not sure how exactly you'd use Haier's transparent OLED — probably not at home — but it's definitely the first time we've seen a TV you can look right through. 5. Brain Wave TV If you're tired of using your body to transfer photos, the Brain Wave TV, also from Chinese manufacturer Haier, is a remote control that allows you to change the channel… with your mind. Reports on its usability seem mixed, but this could definitely be the future, which is kind of scary, if you think about it.

An old out-of-state friend called to touch base, and asked, "how are y'all doing down there?" I told him we were hanging in there, in spite of what seems to be one confrontation and tragedy after another. Of course you have to be optimistic about the future, but there have been some trying times in recent months, and a long way to go towards recovery in many parts of Louisiana.
At a time like this, during a disaster of this magnitude, the people of Louisiana, its government, organizations, agencies come together.
Below are statements from Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness
As a mechanic/Marine used to say, "Surprise, surprise, surprise:" Gov. John Bel Edwards' office won't have to lay off staffers after all. And the credibility gap attached to the Democrat's rhetoric continues to grow.
This year, there have been many claims made by opponents of the John Bel Edwards administration that have been promoted on various right-wing blogs, by various politicians and political groups.
Today, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards took significant steps on the first day of the fiscal year, 2016-17. Those steps include signing the supplemental appropriations bill and vetoing a conditional provision related to the popular TOPS program.
As anticipated, the Louisiana Republican Party leaders have taken credit for stopping the invading army of tax hogs descending upon the state. After the prior special session, despite a GOP-Democratic-Edwards coalition, they pinned the tax tale increase solely on John Bel Edwards and his band of donkeys. Today, via email, the party said:
After two special sessions and a regular session, Louisiana legislators adjourned leaving the state's TOPS program decimated. The successful scholarship program will be targeted with a massive 30% cut for the next fiscal year.
Even as he goes down to defeat, Democrat Gov. John Bel Edwards could not help but extend his hand up and parallel to him, with palm facing him, lowering his pinky, and telling a number of Louisiana families to read between the lines.
Governor Jon Bel Edwards as provided more details about the TOPS program which is at risk for the State of Louisiana due to the impending budget crises.
Tonight Governor Jon Bel Edwards issued a State of the State address due to the impending $3 billion dollar budget shortfall and upcoming legislative session.
Here are his remarks as prepared for delivery

What would that oversize biannual Made in Brazil be without Francisco Lachowski (Ford Men)? We shudder to think and thankfully the editors at MIB agree by having not even contemplated such a chilling scenario! Instead, Chico and many of his Ford Men compatriots including Evandro Soldati, Rafael Lazzini, and Fabrício Bach also feature.
Tommy Hilfiger knows how to party and especially so during the holidays. Proof positive is the new 60 second spot called "House Par-Tay" that sees the return of Bernard Fouquet (Ford Men Direct) in his role as Hilfiger patriarch. As far as campaigns go, the unabashedly Wes Anderson-inspired series by creative director Trey Laird and photographer Craig McDean is a consumer favorite. What's not to love in seeing Bernard boogie in this all-night disco party?
Nestled in the shadows of Citi Field in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, Queens is an enclave of auto repair garages, transmission specialists, and junk yards. Although the manufacturing sliver of the New York City Planning Commission zoning map doesn't appear in any of the glossy brochures for the recently built Mets stadium, it does figure prominently as backdrop for a shadowy Essential Homme November / December 2011 editorial featuring Linus Gustin (Ford Men) photographed by Marco Falcetta.
PRETTY PARTY STYLE. dresses that POP, jewels that SPARKLE, and shoes that ROCK. PLUS the coolest jacket you'll ever own. The previous three phrases in all their typographical incongruity are but a selection of the many attention grabbing headlines that appear on Teen Vogue December / January 2012. For the sake of this page, however the issue's main attraction is a sugary sweet story featuring Ondria Hardin (Ford) and Andie Arthur (Ford) photographed by Jason Kibbler.
Anne Sophie Monrad (Ford) features in a new editorial by photographer David Urbanke in the online magazine The Ones2Watch New Wave. The Jordan Bradfield and Jamie Kreindler-styled story adopts a much sunnier approach to its blonde heroine than its shadowy, film noir namesake "I Walk Alone" starring Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas ever would have deigned.
Although Corinna Ingenleuf (Ford) recently moved to New York, the German model's presence in leading European editions of Vogue has gone uninterrupted since summer. The other week her Richard Burbridge Vogue Italia story was mentioned in Daily Links and today it is her portrait by Max von Gumppenberg & Patrick Bienert in Vogue Deutsch November 2011 that is of particular interest.
On the Level
While most citizens would think twice about slipping into a pair of second-skin leather pants for day, models are not most citizens. So it's not Karmen's legwear that caught our eye, rather her pairing with a feminine, fitted jacket on top. It's very ladies who lunch, without any of the attendant stuffiness. Another notch on the cool scale? Contrasting animal-print accessories and a pair of aviators, which are more ladies who rock.

NEW ORLEANS — Of all the stories about New Orleans, John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces is one of the most universally beloved.
