What to Do With Old Mobile Phones

There are lots of ways to rid yourself of an old mobile phone - most of which make money for you, and even some for other people. Depending on what you wish to do will obviously sway your choices, but the following things are easily available if you wish to get rid of your dated gadgets.

Send it away for cash:

If you just want to make a quick buck you can always contact one of the online companies offering money for old phones. You simply enter the model in the website, they send you packaging with free post return and off your phone goes while your wait for your cheque. This is nice an easy but you should check as many of the companies as you can as the amount of money offered differs greatly.

Sell it yourself:

Even though the sites mentioned above are nice and easy to use and take the fuss away, they simply don’t offer the same amount of money that eBay or a car boot sale will offer. The market for used phones on eBay is thriving so a quick check can show you what your phone will go for. There is of course no guarantee of a sale but you can always go to the websites above if you don’t get a sale.

Sell it to a friend:

You can of course sell it to a friend! Just use the current prices online to defend what you ask to avoid any arguments!

Charity Shops:

Many charity shops offer to take your old phone off you and sell it on for a profit to the charity. This is of course a considerate way to get rid of your old phone but - sadly - recent research has shown it’s not the most beneficial way. The money the charity shops get is often less than you would from either a direct sale or from a website. If you do wish to make a donation to charity it will most likely be best if you sell the phone another way and then donate to the charity with the profit you make!

If you need a new mobile phone why not check out pay as you go mobile phones. There are loads of mobile phone deals around at the moment.
