Cashback or money off for trade in

Hi all, does anyone know if any stores carphone warehouse etc give cashback or money with a trade in for a new pay and go mobile

I recall Orange stores give some credit when you trade an old phone in, I am not sure if they are still doing it. You could just ask the shops and they will advise you. It would be wise to find out the resale value of your phones as well, to have a benchmark to compare against and see if you could be better off recycling or reselling the handset on your own

You´ll get more if you use a company like Envirofone, CEX, etc

Any chance you will tell us why?

Well, I've used them several times in the face of most others warning against. They almost invariably offered by far the best prices but getting paid was like getting blood out of a stone. Recently I sent a brand new phone - I received it in a sealed original box, opened and checked it and sent it to CEX. I was paid less than agreed without any notification. I then spent more than two hours listening to recordings on the phone without getting through. I was then told the switchboard had been closed down (you won't find the number on their website) and the phone had "dust" behind the screen. Utter rubbish. I won't be using them again and in the past have been just about the only person who said they were worth using, despite the hassle of getting paid. Others have had all sorts of problems recently too with bounced cheques and ignored emails. Don't expect honest treatment from them if they pay you at all!

i will NEVER be using ENVIROFONE ever again, and i advise all others to steer clear of it aswell. Has been two months now and have still not received my cheque. Have rung them on plenty of occasions and say the cheque has been cashed. Thats funny, how i have never received it, and have even looked through all of my bank accounts to look for a cheque payment, and what would you know there is none.

WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT UPON RINGING THEM THEY HAVE HUNG UP ON ME ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION
