WINNIPEG – MTS has introduced a new program called My Treade-In that lets customers swap their used devices for an in-store credit at any MTS Connect store location.

MTS representatives will confirm the trade-in value of any device brought into the store, and issue a credit on the spot.  Customers can then use the in-store credits to offset the cost of upgrading to the latest device or switching their service to MTS.

"The MTS My Trade-In program means old handsets – even those that have been put through the wringer – don't have to be left sitting in a drawer when it's time to upgrade," said Paul Norris, VP of consumer brand and marketing, in the news release.  "My Trade-In gives these devices new life and keeps them out of landfills."

MTS is offering the My Trade-In program in partnership with Phobio, an international company that facilitates wireless retailer trade-in programs.  After being reset to their factory settings, traded-in devices will be recycled and resold in other markets, or disassembled and sold for parts.
