What happens to my phone(s)?

Most of the phones are sent for reuse in markets such as China, Africa, Pakistan and India helping to bring improved and more widespread communications to these developing economies.

Do you sell phones?

All the phones we purchase are redistributed in bulk to various approved partners in developing countries. We do not sell to the general public.

To enquire about becoming an approved partner, please contact our customer support team.

Do I pay for postage when sending my phone(s)?

We have various free posting options for you to choose from. These options are all explained in the posting instructions leaflet that is included in the sale pack that we send you.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept responsibility for non-delivery of phones. We recommend that you upgrade our freepost bag to registered service for track, trace and signed for delivery. This upgrade will cost you $3.05 and will give you $100 insurance. Further insurance will cost $1.30 per each additional $100.

Registered deliveries should (please) be sent to us at Mazuma headquarters:

SUNSHINE WEST, VIC 8438

IMPORTANT! If you trade in 10 or more phones in the one order, you will be given a free courier collection service.

What must I include with my handset?

We like to keep things simple. So we just need the handset with its battery.

What if my phone is blocked?

If your phone is blocked, it is likely it has been reported lost or stolen. We do not purchase blocked handsets. If you are the rightful owner of a blocked handset, we suggest you contact your service provider to have the phone unblocked.

What if my phone is Network locked?

We accept Australian Network locked handsets and pay the full value.

Do you accept fake/counterfeit phones?

There is a growing number of counterfeit phones. These handsets look very similar to genuine products but are illegally produced and may prove to be dangerous to use. We do not accept any non-genuine products. Popular counterfeit models include the Nokia N95, Nokia Arte, Apple iPhone and Samsung F480 Tocco.
