Abstract
A diagnostic device may enable the retrieval of user device information and an eligibility status of a user device for a device return, a device upgrade, or a device exchange. The diagnostic device may receive the user device information of the user device via a wired or wireless communication interface. The diagnostic device may send the user device information to a server associated with a wireless carrier network. In turn, the server associated with the wireless carrier network may use the user device information to determine an eligibility status of the user device for a device return, a device exchange, or a device upgrade. Subsequently, the diagnostic device may receive a unique code generated by the wireless carrier network, in which the unique code is associated with the user device information of the user device. The diagnostic device then presents the unique code on a display of the diagnostic device.
