M1's TradeUp Bazaar stands out with some of the best mobile phone exchange offers in Singapore. It allows you to TradeUp any device, including those still in the 3G era, and receive an array of perks, including up to $200 in Bespoke Flexi plan offers and up to $250 in TradeUp savings.
The trade-in process is straightforward:
- Evaluation: Bring your device to any M1 shop for a quick and transparent assessment, or opt for an online trade-in. 3G mobile phones can only be inspected on-site at any M1 store near you, while all other mobile devices are eligible for online trade-in.
- Value offer: Receive an instant trade-in value that can be applied to your next purchase.
- Complete the trade: Hand over your old device in person or via doorstep delivery and enjoy the savings on your new one.
To maximise the value received from your TradeUp, ensure your device is in good condition and perform a factory reset to erase personal data for your own security and safety. You should also include any original accessories or packaging if available with the phone.
Buying New: The Latest Tech and M1's Offers
Sometimes, we may not want to bother with trading in and just want the convenience of buying a new phone.
Beyond the excitement of unboxing, new devices come with full warranties and customer support, giving you peace of mind. M1 also sweetens the deal for new phone buyers with Bespoke Flexi plans available from $0 upfront and with up to 36 months instalment at 0% interest.

Making the Decision: Should You Go for Phone Trade-Ins or Buy New?
