I’d go through the hassle of getting AT&T to unlock them (it’s free) and you can sell open market for better money.

I’ve used Swappa in the past to sell my old devices. If I remember correctly, with Swappa you use PayPal for the sale and it’s easy to transfer from PayPal to your bank account.

I have always had success selling in the parking lot of my local mall
Did you have pay for shipping? And plus I’m not good at making a description and don’t know what price to start the phone at.

You can look at other market places to get an idea of how much your phones are worth (hint: not much!). You'd probably raise just over $100 for all your phones combined.

Yes, but I included shipping in the price. You can look around the site for similar items to see how much they’re selling for, the descriptions, and decide from there if you want to go down that route. You might even be able to trade in to your carrier to get more value from them if you want/need new devices.

I’ve always used swappa. I believe they include the shipping in the listing price but it’s been a while since I’ve sold a phone there. They do a good job to protect sellers and buyers in my experience and fees are fair.

I have so many old phones, both Android and Apple, I'd just like to take them someplace where I can hand them the box and they'll be destroyed or at least scrubbed (I do that myself but always nice to know they will do it again).
Actually, everybody I know has a draw full of them as well just gathering dust.
Anyway, sorry to get off topic, carry on.

In most cases AT&T will unlock phones for people who are no longer AT&T customers, as long as each device meets AT&T’s unlock eligibility rules. Such as being paid for in full or installment plan completed and not reported lost or stolen.
The FCC also requires carriers to unlock in accordance with reasonable rules.
Go to att.com/deviceunlock and choose the “I’m not a customer” option. Enter your IMEI and an email.
If they deny you it will explain why else it will give you a link to unlock it.
It’s a good service when out and about and, but when you in you house you go down to 2 bars, but that is main how it is with every carrier
I’m on AT&T proper and have a AT&T tower exactly 1 mile from my house and still only get 1 bar.
Visible runs on the Verizon network, and all of the taxes and fees are included in the price of the plan

I always sell parking lot of AT&T store. This way if the person wants we can go in the store and they can check if it’s legit.
