Sounds like a lot of work to net $0
Why bother with the one then? I must be missing something
No, they need the proof of purchase for the new phone, not the old one.
That's what I thought too, but when you read the terms and conditions, it's hard to tell if they also need it for the used one to prove you own it and it isn't stolen. And they say if for any reason you don't meet terms and conditions they keep your phone and send you $0. So it's a good thing to make sure before you put your used device in the mail. Once it's in the mail it's gone and you can't get it back.

I am getting ready to send in my old HTC EVO 4G...
Have to take off the otter box and take off the screen protector too as it has a couple scratches on it.
I did the factory reset and it Looks like all the old pictures, contacts etc. are gone - But are they really gone???
Also wondering what you all sent in?
I was just going to send in Just the phone along with the requested documents - is that OK?
Was thinking about keeping the SD card and since I have the new HTC One, could keep the old charger for other rooms. As many stated above - just want my $100 and don't want to mess anything up...
Thanks - TimmaY
Never give up your sd card. There are programs available to recover deleted files and pics. You would hate to think that great pic nobody was supposed to see was now available and out there
Sadly, any info stored on internal memory can be recovered as well.
Well my old Blackberry just became way more valuable to me then $100.00 then.
Sadly, any info stored on internal memory can be recovered as well.
Bah chances are 1 in a million that someone with those skills would come across your phone and actually recover anything
Possible yes, Probable not really
those refurb houses have 10's of thousands of phone's to deal with chances of yours being recoverable are slim to none.
Really nobody knows what happens when the phone is gone, so to say it is probable that this doesn't happen is just your guess. Not flaming you, just saying.
I'm just factoring in the fact that maybe 1 in 1000 people have a clue how to get the deleted info from a phone.
Take that time's the 10,000 phone's that come into a center like that and it's just not probable.

?Also wondering what stuff besides the phone you all sent in?
I was just going to send in Just the phone along with the requested documents - is that OK?
Was thinking about keeping the SD card??? Maybe put a smaller SD card in it's place?
As many stated above - just want my $100 and don't want to mess anything up...Thanks - TimmaY
Really just want to make sure I send in the right stuff to get the $100
Would like to keep the 8G SD and my old charger if I could.... Any thoughts or have you seen any rules anywhere that I am missing??? Tim
