e-Cycle Offers Consumers a Price for Used iPhones and iPads



Do you have an abundance of iPhones or iPads just laying around and you need to unload them quickly? Ok, so maybe you only have one or two devices that have been replaced and now need a new home and e-Cycle is working to make it possible for you to sell your used iPhone (News - Alert) or iPad easily.

A recent announcement from e-Cycle highlighted the launch of its new online iPhone buyback program designed to help individuals and businesses to quickly and easily sell their used iPhones and iPads. e-Cycle has made a name for itself in wireless buyback and recycling services for Fortune 500 companies and is considered to be an industry leader in data security.

The new program enables individuals and businesses to generate an instant quote for their old iPhone or iPad, receive a postage-paid box in the mail within a few days, and receive a prompt payment by check.

All iPhones and iPads offered through the program are purchased by e-Cycle, even if the devices are damaged or broken. The company offers a stringent data security process through which all personal information is permanently deleted to ensure it never falls into the wrong hands.

"Consumers and businesses are beginning to realize that used cell phones and other devices, including iPhones and iPads, can retain significant value," said Chris Irion, founder and chief executive officer of e-Cycle, in a statement.

"However, iPhone and iPad users should be aware that such devices contain enormous amounts of personal information that must be carefully cleansed. e-Cycle allows consumers and businesses to sell iPhones and iPads while protecting sensitive information at the highest security standards in the industry."

The online iPhone buyback program is the first offered by e-Cycle that is specifically designed for consumers.

In September, e-Cycle was named to the Columbus Business First 15th Annual Fast 50 list of the fastest-growing companies in central Ohio. The list features the region's most prosperous privately-held companies who have averaged at least one million dollars in revenue over the last three years.

The 2010 winners were selected based on a comprehensive review of financial performance between 2006 and 2009. In this three-year period, e-Cycle grew its revenue by more than 400 percent and created more than 60 new green jobs, despite a historically weak economy.
