The amount you'll get for a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra depends on the device's condition, storage capacity, carrier lock status, and any active security settings like Factory Reset Protection. ecoATM offers an instant cash offer at kiosks and via an online estimate, and because ecoATM pays cash (not just in-store or bill credits), many sellers find its offers competitive with carrier trade-ins. Payments are available via cash at the kiosk or electronic options such as Venmo or PayPal.

First get a price estimate on the ecoATM website, then back up and prepare your phone for sale. Next find a nearby ecoATM kiosk (they're located inside Walmart and other major retailers), connect the device so the kiosk can run diagnostics, and the machine will present an offer you can accept or decline. If you accept, ecoATM pays instantly by cash at the kiosk or by the electronic payment option you choose.

Yes — ecoATM accepts devices with cracked screens, dents, faulty batteries, and other damage, though condition affects the final offer you receive. If the kiosk determines there's no cash offer possible, ecoATM will recycle the device responsibly so components don't end up in landfills. ecoATM's acceptance of damaged devices helps get value out of phones that might otherwise be thrown away.

Yes — ecoATM buys both carrier-locked and unlocked Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra phones, but carrier-locked devices typically receive a lower offer than unlocked ones because lock status affects resale options. A carrier lock means the phone is restricted to a specific wireless provider until it's unlocked; ecoATM will still make a competitive offer based on the phone's usable resale value. If possible, unlocking the device before selling can increase the offer.

Before you go to an ecoATM kiosk, back up your data, sign out of your Google account, and disable Factory Reset Protection so the kiosk can complete diagnostics and reset the phone. Remove your SIM card, then perform a factory reset to erase personal data — ecoATM also performs additional data wiping after intake. These steps help protect your information and speed up the sale at the kiosk.

You should factory reset your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra before selling to remove accounts and personal data, but ecoATM also performs additional data wiping on every device it processes. ecoATM uses secure data handling practices to prepare devices for resale or recycling. Taking the recommended steps before you arrive and relying on ecoATM's wiping helps ensure your personal information is removed.

Devices in good condition are refurbished and resold so they get a longer useful life, while phones that can't be resold are recycled through certified e-waste partners. ecoATM's re-commerce network and recycling program keep toxic materials out of landfills and recover valuable components for reuse. Selling to ecoATM helps divert phones from landfill and supports responsible end-of-life handling.

The trade-in value of your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra isn't fixed — it's based on factors like storage capacity, physical and functional condition, and whether the device is carrier-locked or unlocked. ecoATM gives you an instant cash offer at the kiosk (paid in cash or via Venmo/PayPal where available) rather than store credit, so you can see what your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is really worth before you commit. Start with an online estimate, then complete a quick on-site diagnostic at a kiosk to lock in your final trade-in value.
