Not used them before but having a quick look at their rates on some of the popular Nokia phones, I would probably pay more then they do...

tesco's have envelopes to send these back, think you get some points on your clubcard and some money goes to a charity of your choice, customer service desk should have some

Just got a cash price on a shabby Nokia 7600 of £41. Quite pleased with the price to be honest, about the same as eBay without all the p155ing about. They also make a contribution to charity.

Browntoa, have you any more info on the Tesco deal?

Are these people legit?
I've got a brand new Nokia 6630 (but without the original box) that I can sell on ebay for about £70. These guys are offering about £75 and I'll be saving the hastle of listing th phone. How can they possibly make money?
Also, How easy is it to get the points turned into cash?
Thanks.

Just type in the name in on Google - they come up with good reviews and there is even a link to the Argos website with an explanation. They appear very legit.
