Supplier Portal
Added IMEIs enrich and auto-price,suppliers create device and shipping labels autonomously.
Push the admin and diagnostics to your suppliers. They have to do it anyway — we avoid you repeating their efforts. Your staff just verifies announced shipments vs packages received.
Try it — tap a device for its reports, print the device labels and confirm the shipment.
Optimize your transits
Unlock & Sell,before receipt.
The moment a shipment is underway, we automatically handle unlocks and publish incoming inventory to your buyers to reserve it before it lands. Any devices that are regraded or repriced on receipt need buyer confirmation, or can be cancelled before they are shipped out.
Live reservations
Every buyer sees the same live stock. Reserved means reserved.
Unlocked on the way
Carrier unlocks run while the box is still moving.
Their price, never your margin
Each buyer sees the price you set for them. Your costs stay yours.
Fast check-ins
Scan the box.Every device checks itself in.
Scan IMEIs as you unpack. Each one finds its line on the shipment; a regrade or reprice on receipt goes to the supplier to confirm, and anything missing — or not on the shipment — stands out before you check in.
Try it — add the device that is not on the shipment, tap the regraded one, then complete the check-in.
Buyer Portal
Buyers reserve your stock — and what's on its way,confirm what has arrived and create the label.
Your buyers see your live inventory, including expected devices. They reserve in a click. A device regraded on receipt shows its new grade and price — they accept or remove it.
They consolidate their own shipments, your team packs and dispatches.
Try it — tap a device for its checks, reserve one, then open Reserved: cancel a regraded one or confirm what has arrived.
The back office
Everything after the price.Built in.
Shipping, invoices, payments, claims, unlocks and more — in the same place as the deal.
Shipping labels & tracking
Buy labels at your rates, or let suppliers and buyers make their own. Everyone follows the same box.
Balances, consolidated
One live balance per partner. Every sale, payment and claim on the ledger.
Claims, settled
Mis-graded devices negotiated in the platform, turn by turn — and passed through to the supplier.
IMEI labels
A label for every device, previewed before you print.
Invoices, automatically
Every deal gets its invoice, ready to share.
Automated unlocks
Order carrier unlocks in bulk and follow every one to done.
Mobile, ready for on the go
Your whole desk.In your pocket.
Your sell & buy portals are mobile-first. Your own portal? Its feature-heavy pages are better used on a desktop — but packing & shipping, managing payments and keeping an eye on your business are equally well possible from your phone.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is Phones.Trade?
A B2B platform for the wholesale trade of used phones, mostly iPhones. Trading desks run their suppliers, their team and their buyers on it: live wholesale pricelists, devices checked and priced from their IMEI, stock sold while still in transit, a buyer portal, and the back office — labels, invoices, balances, claims and carrier unlocks.
Who is it for?
Wholesale trading desks that buy used phones from suppliers and sell them to wholesale buyers — and those suppliers and buyers themselves. Our users trade in the United States, Latin America and Hong Kong.
How are devices checked and priced?
Suppliers add the IMEIs. Each device is checked — carrier, blacklist, iCloud — with its diagnostics reports, and priced from your live pricelist by model, storage, grade and network, with a deduction per defect.
Can I sell devices before they arrive?
Yes. Devices in transit are offered to your buyers, who reserve them before they land. A device regraded on receipt shows its new grade and price, and the buyer accepts it or removes it.
What do my buyers see?
Your live stock, including what is on its way, at their price with your markup — never your costs or your margin. They reserve in a click and consolidate their own shipments.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The buy and sell portals are built for phones first, and packing and shipping, payments and balances work just as well from a phone.
Is there an API for my own tools and AI agents?
Yes: API keys per organization, read access to your organization's data, and write access on request. The documentation — and an llms.txt — is written for AI agents to read.
