Cell Phone Trade Ins

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what happens to a cell phone if you trade one in? Not an old one, but, say, if you're trading in when you change providers. Can they fiddle with it and make it usable on their own network and resell it as refurbished? Does it get returned to the original cell phone provider?

generally they are molten down and recycled, no matter if old or new. It is not in the interest of a manufacturer that there are too many used ones "on the market".
