    Just received £7.00 of M&S vouchers from Mopay for an old Siemens SL55 handset that few of the other sites would accept. Used the freepost address and vouchers took about 2 weeks to arrive.

    My phone is just basic, not listed on any of the recycling sites, so paid £1.34 for a Tesco envelope on Ebay, to get 500 points (worth £20 in deals)

    Where do you get 80 phones in the first place?

    We did an appeal at the local church and in the local paper.It was to raise funds for girl guide trip.Altough we also recieved over 50 phones that I still have that nobody wants as they are not worth anything.

    The collection was also advertised in all the shops in our village with a drop off point at a local shop and the church

    If you get 10 people to send 5 phones each to tesco using the 500 point envelopes those 50 phones would get you £1000 worth of tesco vouchers for days out! See the tesco deals section on Tesco.com. (There are plenty of other things on there to spend your vouchers on as well.)
