SELL YOUR MOBILE

Money for old phones – find out more here.

What is a Sell your Mobile Service?

How many times have you been offered an upgrade on your mobile phone? Most people in Britain have at least two mobile phones lying around at home, unused and unwanted. What to do with them – throw them in the bin?

You can get cash for your old mobile phones by selling them to a specialist online company. Have a look at the companies listed on our site to see what is on offer – you'll see that many of them can even buy your old iPods and inkjet cartridges too.

How does it Work?

The customer goes to the mobile buying company's websites and finds out if their mobile brand and model number are accepted. Most companies have a handy online menu for this – just type in your make and model and you should find it listed there.

The old phone (plus battery) is mailed to the company, who will then send you a cheque. In many cases, you can even find out in advance how much the company will offer for your phone type before you send it off.

What if the Phone is Broken?

Many companies accept mobiles which no longer work – while others will only take them if there is mild cosmetic damage, no more. Check this in advance to save yourself the hassle of sending it off.

How much will I get?

The amount you are offered depends largely on the brand and model of your old phone – most companies allow you to check this in advance via their website.

If your phone is very old, don't expect massive amounts of money for it. However, a small cash boost could still be better than leaving it to gather dust in your bottom drawer! Newer phones can fetch up to £70 or even more.

What will they do with my old Mobile?

Companies who buy old mobile phones generally will either recycle them in an environmentally-friendly way, or rejuvenate them and sell them on to other markets – such as developing countries where demand for mobiles are growing.

What are the Benefits of Selling my Mobile?

There are many benefits to selling your old mobile phone, including:

• Cash for something which is just lying around
• Could earn a nice amount
• Easy process
• Can find out in advance how much you could make
• Many brands accepted

What are the Disadvantages?

There are one or two things you might want to bear in mind: you may be able to get a value of your mobile before you send it off, but the company may assess your phone and find damage – for which they could offer less cash than you had hoped for. Other points include:

• you might have to organise postage of the phone yourself
• you might be disappointed with the cash offer
• your brand may not be accepted

You could just arrange to have your old phones recycled directly – but that way you are not going to earn any money. Selling it to an online company means you will receive a cash offer – even if it isn't as high as you might have hoped.
