A new epidemic is on the horizon and it’s plaguing smartphone users everywhere. It’s called unprotected text and we’re here to warn you of its dangers.

Ever used a phone with a cracked screen? Chances are you have, and that makes you an unprotected text offender. But guess what? You’re not alone. In fact, you’re one of millions. At Gazelle, we see thousands of broken screens each day, some in quite hazardous conditions. We found that users who engage in unprotected text often don’t consider the risks. And that’s why we’re putting an end to the debate about cracked screens.

Engaging in Unprotected Text is dangerous. So, first consider the facts before you send a risky text:

No one is having ‘the talk’

Rarely are they replaced

And yes, you are in danger

While some users are afraid of risky text, others defy the odds – placing themselves at risk for injuries. Many of our own customers reported injuries like glass cuts in fingers and nicks to the ear while unprotected texting.

Well, we’re here to prevent this problem. And it starts now.

Do you have a shattered screen story? Now is your opportunity to stop this epidemic from spreading. Go to our Facebook page and tell the world your shattered screen story and prevent others from doing the same. You’ll be automatically entered to win a Gazelle Certified pre-owned iPhone or iPad, which will be awarded weekly. And don’t forget to share your story on social media using #UnprotectedText and @Gazelle.

Sherlock (aka Gary the Gazelle) has cracked the code – and has pictures to prove.

In June 2013, we opened our own processing facility in Louisville, Kentucky – home to 600,000 Louisvillians (not including the ever-growing iPhone population). For the no longer wanted Christmas presents and iPhones that are “so last year,” Gazelle Way has warmly opened its doors to devices on their way to finding a new owner.

Take a sneak peek at our playground. Can you spot your device?

After the holidays, Gazelle launched a happy envelope campaign highlighting that most mail today is bills but when you get an envelope from Gazelle, it’s a happy envelope because it contains cash.

Gazelle just presented the happiest of all happy envelopes to our very first Gazellionaire. Alex N, 28, of Omaha, Nebraska is the lucky winner of $1,000,000 from Gazelle’s “Become a Gazellionaire” sweepstakes and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Alex was randomly selected to win from all eligible entrants.

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Alex and presenting him with his happy envelope last week in Omaha. Here is a bit of what I learned in our time together.

Alex growing up

Alex was born and raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota, the second son to his college professor parents. His first job was as busboy at Perkins. He loved math and science in school and played baseball, hockey and did tae kwon do growing up.

Alex always loved airplanes and wanted to be in aviation as long as he can remember. A licensed pilot, he realized he preferred the quality-of-life of an air traffic controller and pursued that instead.  He studied aviation at the University of North Dakota and earned money on the side as a DJ.

Alex was recruited from college by the Federal Aviation Administration to work in Des Moines, Iowa. He lived and worked in Des Moines for five years and moved to Omaha with his wife two years ago. He now supervises seven other air traffic controllers and is quickly climbing the ranks in his career.

His passions

In addition to his love of aviation – he still looks up every time he hears a plane pass by — Alex became a self-proclaimed NASCAR fanatic four years ago and shares his passion with his wife, who was his high school sweetheart. Alex is also an electronics nut, which led him to Gazelle.

Alex first discovered Gazelle in 2009 when he was looking to sell his iPhone 3GS. He discovered Gazelle on CNET and found the process of trading in his iPhone to be an easy and pain-free way to get cash for the phone he no longer needed. He has subsequently sold several iPhones and iPads each time he upgraded.

Sweepstakes entrants were not required to be a Gazelle customer to be eligible to win but it certainly pleases us that Alex is indeed, a happy customer. Some might even say he’s a Gazeallot.

How it felt to win

When asked about his emotions when he learned he had won $1 million, Alex said, “It was one of those things that never happens to you. When I called the 800 number that morning and found out that it was real, I was speechless. When I was doing the initial paperwork as a potential winner, I was pretty restless and couldn’t wait to find out if I was a confirmed winner!  Once you all came to visit to me and I got the “big check,” it really started to sink in.”

How they plan to use the money

Alex and his wife plan to use their winnings to pay off some debt and save for retirement but also to have some fun. They would love to travel to Australia and London and they feel like those dreams may soon become a reality. Alex would also love to someday meet his favorite NASCAR driver, Matt Kenseth, and an even bigger dream is to find a way to introduce a child, who is also a NASCAR fan, to their favorite NASCAR driver.

Before winning the $1 million prize from Gazelle, the only thing Alex had ever won was a hat from Twitter. When I met him, he could not wipe the ear-to-ear grin off his face.

Congratulations, Alex!

In our “Where’s my iPhone” infographic, you’re able to visually see the travels of a traded-in phone. You’re along for the ride, from the moment the phone leaves your house to its final destination.

Here’s a quick explanation of the process:

The first leg of your device’s journey with Gazelle brings it to our processing facility in Kentucky. Once it’s there, it is inspected to confirm its condition and all data is immediately wiped from the device, ensuring any personal information that may have been left behind stays secure. After the reset, the next leg of the journey begins, and the device is sent to a refurbishing center. This is where devices are made to look brand new again, through replacing a broken screen or smoothing out some of those deep nicks (for example). Then, it’s off to its resale location, which is typically an emerging country where the cost of a refurbished device is significantly more affordable than a brand new one.

The post What happens to my iPhone when I sell it? appeared first on Gazelle The Horn.

Back in 2012, we were the first U.S. company to enter into a partnership with a company called Recipero, to use its CheckMEND tool to ensure we can identify any lost or stolen devices. This was a big step in helping prevent the theft of consumer devices because it ensured that each of you, our customers, the rightful owners, would be the only ones to benefit from trading in those old devices.

Today we became the first consumer electronics device trade-in site to join Recipero’s CheckMEND Charter. The CheckMEND Charter was designed to create a set of best practices that prevent trade activities of stolen consumer electronics. And in addition to protecting consumers, the Charter’s participants pledge to actively help law enforcement agencies combat theft and fraud related to consumer electronics. CheckMEND has stringent guidelines to be part of the Charter and members must meet a number of requirements (included below).

Gazelle has always promised that our customers will have a fast, easy and secure experience. Going into 2014, we vow to all of our customers that they — and their devices — will always be safe with Gazelle, and we’ll continue to take steps to keep our promise.

Sincerely yours,

Israel Ganot, CEO, Gazelle

CheckMEND Charter Requirements

Charter Members MUST do the following.

1. Take reasonable steps to ensure the seller is aware of the Charter conditions using substantially the same wording in Appendix A or an accurate translation of the same.
2. Conduct a CheckMEND check of a device PRIOR to paying the seller.
3. When a device fails a check, quarantine it to allow its reliable retrieval in the future if claimed by an Approved Body or return it to the seller.
4. When a device is quarantined, promptly notify the seller that their device has been quarantined and advise of a clear support process to allow them to dispute its status.
5. If the seller is present at the time the device fails the check, hand it back to the seller simply stating that your system says you cannot accept it. If the seller wishes to know the reason for the rejection you must advise of a clear support process to allow them to dispute its status.
6. Permit an Approved Body to collect the device in person at no cost at a mutually agreeable time.  Other collection methods should be by negotiation with the Approved Body concerned.
7. Maintain accurate records at all times so you may assist Law Enforcement Agencies to know how a quarantined device moved through your hands and where you returned it to. Always obtain a receipt for any device you pass on to an Authorized Body.
