    A + for Love2Recycle, good communication and a cheque for £17 plus a £5 voucher for an old Nokia.

    hi
    checked out e bay to see how much my phone could potentially make and it was only £20. went to the mobile phone recycling quote page and was offered £51 with fonebanker. filled in the online form, posted the phone on monday recorded delivery, got an e mail tuesday to say they had recieved it and a cheque arrived wednesday. cannot fault them at all. very quick and efficient. i have used other recycling places but have had to wait up to 2 weeks for money to come back.

Heard about & contacted on Tuesday, received pre pay bag & posted on Wednesday, several email updates & a cheque today...........Saturday!!! Fantastic stuff...................will put towards the overdraft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    got rid of all the old phones now but have a mass of cables left. is there anywhere you can send them, not necessarily get cash for them or is it just a case of binning them?

    Used them again (2nd time) to recycle an old phone.
    Sent it off using the freepost label, did not chase them up, and it took 3 weeks to receive the funds.

    Overall good reliable service.

    i used phonebank for my old phone, it was worth £6, where other sites said not worth anything. Got email confirmation of order, sent phone by recorded delivery, got email confirmation of receipt on a Monday, only sent it on a Saturday, got cheque Tuesday day after they got it. fast and reliable service.
  • Used Mazuma last week. Within 4 days of sending the phone I received a cheque, and they keep you informed by email. Excellent service! :T

  • I sent a motorola RAZR to money4urmobile all it had was a small scratch otherwise working fine. They rejected it for water damage .
    So now no cashback and no phone. It was only worth £5 but that's hardly the point seems like a big con to me . I'd rather put my phone in the bin than use another of these companies

    I think mazuma is probably the most reliable, I know a few who have used them and it went well

    Has anybody used Earth Mobile?

    They are offering the best price for my mobile but I want to know if they are reliable.

    Are they new and that's why no one seems to have used them?
