The US isn't as bad as some Americans. In Ecuador it's literally illegal for any business to sell used phones. The reason is to discourage phone theft.

Its really sad :(

🤔and no used phones leave the country??

I really don't know what happens to them. I suspect they just get thrown in the trash. But the phones here are cheap Chinese trash that break pretty fast anyway
