OUR PROGRAM

How our Process Works

Your information is safe with Secure the Call. We take your data privacy seriously. All donated devices are securely reformatted by us to ensure that all personal data is completely removed from your donated phone or tablet.

STEP 1

Collect Donated Devices

Send us your unwanted cell phones and tablets
Damaged devices are separated for parts and for e-waste recycling
Devices in good working order are passed to the next stage of processing

STEP 2

Prepare Devices for Distribution

All usable devices are hand reformatted by us to ensure that your data is completely removed from the phone.
SIM cards are removed and shredded on site. Phones are powered up and test called to make sure they work properly.

Refurbished and tested devices are packaged with chargers and accessories.
We ship to over 200 Community Partners across the nation who distribute these life-saving devices to people who need them the most.
