Can I buy a used Bark Phone?
We don’t recommend buying Bark Phones from third-party marketplaces. Used Bark Phones can’t be activated on a new Bark account. Once a phone is linked to one account, it can’t be transferred to another. If you try to set up a used Bark Phone, it won’t work — the apps will be blocked, and you’ll see error messages.
Can I sell my Bark Phone to someone else?
We don’t recommend it. Here’s why:
-
The buyer won’t be able to use it as a Bark Phone.
-
You can ask Bark Support to convert it into a regular Samsung phone before selling, but again, it won't really act like a Bark Phone. It'll just be a regular Samsung phone.
-
If it’s not converted to a regular Samsung phone first, the phone won’t work properly — all apps will be blocked.
What if I already purchased a used Bark Phone?
If you've already purchased a used Bark Phone from someone else (through eBay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or any third-party seller):
- Return the device to where it was obtained and request a refund.
- Order a new Bark Phone directly from Bark.us or our official Bark Amazon store.
Why we recommend this approach:
- Secondhand devices may have unknown damage or technical issues
- This is the most reliable way to ensure your Bark Phone functions properly
