Cash for Old Mobiles (Updated 1st post)

JasonLVC

I sent them a Nokia which worked (powered up), but was PIN locked to my sim. Putting in another sim meant the phone asked for a pincode (which I didn;t know).

Envirofone took it no problem. I guess they just flash the memory or unlock it somehow - as loing as the phone actually works is what matters most.

Mine are only worth a couple of quid each, hardly worth it!
Does anyone know of a charity that recycles phones that I can give them to instead?
Thanks

Tesco run a scheme. Working phones either £4 to charity or £1 to charity and 300 points (worth £12 in deals or £3 off your shopping) on your Tesco clubcard. Non-working phones not sure on the charity donation but 50 clubcard points. Ask at Customer services for an envelope or apply via tescos web site. Scheme is run by a 3rd party e-mail info@greenersolutions.com for envelopes or info or visit http://www.greenersolutions.com

my phone just gone down by £5 from yesterdays price. Do these prices keep increasing and decreasing or will they continue to fall.

I've noticed the prices seem to be dropping- obviously as more of us are sending phones in. They are also painfully slow with payment. My cheque took 3 weeks to arrive, website quotes 14 days "but may be longer in busier times". In other words- they'll pay you when it is convenient to them.

Getting fusier on little chips as well- first phone i sent in no problems- 2nd one had a very minor chip to the top and they only gave me 25% of the quoted value despite it being fully functional and their terms apparently allowing minor cosmetic damage. I could have got a lot more on ebay but couldn't be bothered with the hassle of getting them to send it back and being charged P&P.

Still, thanks to original OP- Have given it a go but will stick to ebay in future for any mobiles!

Envirofone have been absolutely brilliant. I sent my Nokia 6680 on the 24th March and got my cheque a week later on the 31st March for £70.50. I will definately use them again!!!

I've got a Samsung but I can't figure out which model - they all look the same in the small pictures on the website. Any bright ideas how I can identify my phone?

Thanks. Had an old mobile sitting in loft for two years, worth £14. Better than sitting there for another couple of years and depreciating further. lol. :T
