Cellular Recycler today announced a new Strategic Channel Partner Agreement with the Associated Carrier Group (ACG), the premier buying consortium for Tier 2, Tier 3, and MVNO carriers.
The partnership positions Cellular Recycler as ACG’s preferred provider of trade-in, device recovery, and lifecycle management programs across ACG’s 36-member carrier network. ACG members will now have direct access to Cellular Recycler’s proprietary Apple Trade-In Kit Technology Provider program — delivering Apple’s official Enhanced Trade-In Value that puts approximately $47 more in customers’ pockets per device on average, along with a separate Apple Development Fund that creates self-funding associate incentives and MDF.
“As a former Chairman of ACG, I know firsthand how critical it is for ACG member carriers to deliver the absolute best customer experience while protecting margins. Cellular Recycler’s Apple Trade-In Kit Technology Provider designation, combined with our Boulder-based processing, weekly auctions, and owned e-commerce platform, gives ACG carriers a true competitive edge: higher trade-in offers for their customers, self-funding associate incentives, and maximizing the lifecycle value on every device. We’re thrilled to bring this proven program to the entire ACG community.”
— Barry Nothstine, VP – Carrier Channel Development, Cellular Recycler
“ACG exists to help our members lower costs and strengthen their customer offerings. Partnering with Cellular Recycler gives our carriers immediate access to Apple’s Trade-In Kit Technology Provider program and a best-in-class device recovery solution. We’re excited to work together to deliver real value to every ACG member and their subscribers.”
— Russ Lipinski, President, Associated Carrier Group
