To delete iPhone data before selling, remember backup all your data, You can use iTunes or iCloud to backup the data on your old iPhone, or directly transfer it to your new phone or computer with a certain data transfer tool like iPhone Data Manager.

Delete SMS on iPhone for selling: To ensure that the deleted data cannot be recovered by any data recovery software, you need to choose a reliable tool which can finish this work perfectly and won't remember any data by itself. Here my recommendation is iPhone Data Eraser. This software can smash everything on the iPhone, and even the government recovery facility can't retrieve anything on it. It's totally safe and easy to use.

Step 1. Connect your iPhone to the computer
Get your iPhone connected to the computer where iPhone Data Eraser is installed.

Step 2. Choose a type of data erasing
Launch Data Eraser for iOS and choose the option of erase all data and settings to begin the data deletion. All data contains contacts, messages, call history, photos, videos, notes, apps, browser history, bookmarks, account info, passwords and other personal data.

Step 3. Start to erase all data on your iPhone
The process of data erasing will take you a little while. Keep your iPhone connected during the whole course.



When it's complete. Your iPhone gets started with a clean slate now.

Unlink/Unregister your iPhone: The last step you need to do is to unregister your iPhone from Apple's website so that it's no longer linked to your Apple ID. It's also a simple work.
Step 1. Go to the Apple's website here:
Step 2. Log in with your Apple ID and password.
Step 3. Find edit products and click on it.
Step 4. Click on the x to the right of the product.
Step 5. Click Unregister, and that's all.

Make a list of all your accounts like iCloud, Dropbox, Pandora, etc. Stop them all from linking to your iPhone. Then take the SIM card out of your iPhone and get it ready for selling on eBay or other sale places.

Why go thru all these hassles of using a third party app? Personally I use the 'delete all applications and settings' function found in settings.(don't use this method if you jailbreak to avoid being stuck on boot screen)
Alternatively I install a new update thru iTunes.

Everyone wants to make their data confidential so that others cannot access the data. But this situation can put you in trouble if you want to sell your old iPhone and data is stored in it. The problem is that you have to delete the entire data from device which is a headache. If by chance any data is left on the device then those can be easily recovered by third party software and can be used illegally. So better to erase the entire device permanently before selling or donating. But how to do that? Simply deleting makes your data invisible but can be easily recovered, So use some professional deleting software that helps to wipe out every content from the device and no chance left to recover the data.
Hence this is the best method anyone can try and this information is taken from below mentioned blog:
