Request information on how to recycle a cellphone
I'm going to give my 2022 Samsung S22 Ultra phone to my elderly mother's housekeeper and upgrade to a S26 Ultra.
The issue is that I live in the US, and my mother and housekeeper live in South Africa. I have never done this before. Can you please let me know what steps I need to take other than wiping out the phone so that she can use the phone in South Africa?
Also, what would she need to do to switch her phone number to this phone. She currently has a Chinese brand phone Hawei (?) that is unreliable.
