Sell Old Phone

( based on 15 user review(s) )(Add A Review)

Now you can sell your old mobile for as much as £250 when you use the services of Sell Old Phone. Selling your phone online is quick and simple. Just value your handset with Sell Old Phone's extensive database, complete the order form, place your phone in an envelope and pop it in the mail. It won't cost you anything to send, and you'll know that at least your old mobile won't be adding to the pollution problem.

Sell Old Phone will accept any recyclable handset, even if it has no value. Phones in working condition are refurbished and put to good use in developing nations that don't have many landlines, and whose citizens can't afford to buy new mobile phones. The rest are broken down into reusable parts and recycled, thereby keeping them out of landfills, where the toxic substances in them, such as mercury, cadmium and lead, pollute the water, posing potential health dangers to the surrounding community.

More than 80 million UK residents upgrade their phones every eighteen months, and less than 11% sell or recycle their old phones. It's estimated that 90 million handsets end up contaminating landfills, lie around idle in homes and businesses, or gather dust drawers.

DONT USE!!! CONMEN!! They told me I'd get £122.. then after weeks of chasing , got a cheque for £80 as it was 'damaged'?!! NO IT WASNT, and certainly NOT less then 70% working as in their T&C's!.. They wouldnt give info about getting phone back despite several emails.. eventually sent them a cheque for an 'admin fee ' (ha!).. to have it RETURNED the following day as I was now 'out of the 7 day period' therefore they now keep my phone?!!?!.. The best bit. on the letter..'if you have any queries, contact us on the number below'... THERE ISNT ONE!!!! Nor on the website... AVOID AVOID AVOID!!.. SCAM SCAM SCAM

KarenK from Sheffield 13-10-2010

Complete scam artists! Avoid like the plague! Nothing but trouble for a should be easy exchange of mobile phone/cash. Quoted £80 against my account with them, after around 20 emails to them (you can't call them, they don't give you their number) and threatening legal action, they eventually sent me my cheque for £51! Stated they needed my phone charger too but this was never agreed. PLEASE CashForMobiles, DO NOT ALLOW THIS COMPANY TO BE PART OF YOUR WEBSITE IF YOU STILL WANT CREDITABILITY.

wish i had read the reviews before sending in a mint n96, the phone was sent 27th july recorded post. they sent e-mail saying 'transaction confirmed' payment on 2nd august, no conformation of the amount and expect cheque 7-10 days. today is 19 august, cheque arrives for £62.20 and not the £90.00 agreed due to'grade b catagory' the phone was mint, sent another the same day to mobile phone xchange, money in my account 2 weeks ago and that phone was marked. just pleased didn't send both phones to this company. i don't expect to get anywhere with them. leave well alone. mobile phone xchange excellent!

Why Should You Recycle Your Phone?

Recycling your old phone means you can gain return on it. Materials that are potentially hazardous to the environment are not left to decompose and pollute, but instead can be broken up and find new life. Saving energy, chemicals and waste by lessening extraction and refinement for new products, and 100% of materials in old phones can be used in new goods. This helps to keep costs down to the manufacturer and the consumer, creating a cycle of best practice.
