HYLA

HYLA (HYLA Mobile) was a mobile device trade-in and reverse-supply-chain company that ran buyback, trade-in, and device-recommerce programs for carriers, retailers, and manufacturers, reselling and redistributing used smartphones into secondary markets. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, it was acquired and its business folded into Assurant: its site hylamobile.com now permanently redirects to Assurant's mobile/broadband unit. HYLA is not a public API provider — it publishes no developer portal, documentation, or API, so this profile is an identity-only company record in the API Evangelist network rather than an API catalog entry.

HYLA is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Mobile, Device Trade-In, and Recommerce.
