The exact amount depends on your Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus's condition, storage size, carrier lock status, and whether security features like Find My/Factory Reset Protection are disabled. ecoATM pays instant cash at the kiosk and its pricing is backed by real-time market data, so offers often beat carrier trade-in values for comparable devices. Because offers change with market value and device condition, check the ecoATM estimate or app to lock in a price.

Start by getting an online estimate or locking in a price in the ecoATM app, then prepare your Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus by backing up and removing accounts. Next, find an ecoATM kiosk, place the phone in the kiosk for a quick diagnostic, and accept or decline the cash offer that appears on-screen. If you accept, ecoATM pays instantly in cash or via PayPal/Venmo depending on availability.

Yes — ecoATM accepts Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus devices with cracked screens, dents, faulty batteries, and other damage, though condition affects the offer amount. If the kiosk cannot make a cash offer, ecoATM can responsibly recycle the device so it doesn't end up in a landfill. ecoATM evaluates devices to determine whether they can be refurbished or should be recycled.

You can sell a carrier-locked Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus at ecoATM, but carrier-locked phones typically receive a lower offer than unlocked ones because lock status affects resale. A carrier lock means the phone is tied to a specific network provider, which limits who can use it after resale. ecoATM still buys both locked and unlocked devices and will provide a competitive offer based on the phone's resale potential.

Back up any important data, sign out of your Google account, and disable Find My / Factory Reset Protection before you go to an ecoATM kiosk. Remove your SIM card, fully charge the device if possible, and perform a factory reset so your personal information is removed. ecoATM also recommends bringing a state-issued ID if you decide to sell.

You should factory reset your Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus before selling to remove personal accounts and information, and ecoATM recommends turning off Find My/Factory Reset Protection. ecoATM also wipes devices that power on using specialized data-erasing technology before they are resold or recycled, following industry-standard procedures to protect data. Performing the reset yourself before the kiosk adds an extra layer of protection for your information.

ecoATM evaluates each Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and, when possible, refurbishes and resells devices to give them a second life. Devices that can't be resold are responsibly recycled through ecoATM's certified e-waste partners to keep toxic materials out of landfills. This keeps usable phones in circulation longer and prevents toxic materials from ending up in the environment.

A fair trade-in value for your Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus starts with the model, but it is shaped by the condition and settings ecoATM finds during evaluation. Storage, locks, power status, battery health, and screen damage can all matter for this Samsung phone. Use the online estimate to get a rough idea, then visit a kiosk for the diagnostic that confirms the final offer. If you accept, payment is handled immediately in cash or through Venmo/PayPal where available.
