So has anyone received the money from this website, that's the only thing I can see that is holding me back a bit!

Yeah, I can see a lot of people holding back until others start reporting that they've received their cashback.:undecided

Hate to be so sceptical but some of the values quoted definitely seem too good to be true, and if it is all legit and above board I can't see the values being sustained in the long run (maybe they're just trying to promote the service and the values will be cut after a while - if so, the early birds may well score);)

Phone values stated on the website are subject to change at any time without notice

Personally, I was pleased to get a £10 trade-in for my Moto C350 from phones4u - but looking at the envirofone website I could have had £16.89 in Argos vouchers.:doh:

I can see people making money out of this service if they can buy up the right phones cheaply on eBay (or even special offers / refurbs from retailers) and cashing them in for a profit. :think:

Its to risky to try to profit from.

This site looks 100% legit - I am sure I have seen the envelopes in my local Argos store (think they give them out when people buy new phones?) & there are positive reviews about them. If you want to be sure do a google search! Just requested an envelope for emy old phone worth £75 :eek: Not used it in months so am very pleased :j thanks op

Excellent!

Added to my favourites list

Gutted I missed out on 2 Nokia 3220 phones at the car boot sale today (Would have cost £4 each, Argos voucher value £48.64 each! )

But I know Cash Converters (Cash Generator round here) sell phones pretty cheaply so I'll be going shopping for phones tomorrow

Yeah, certainly looks to be legit:

Personally, I'd suggest people be quick to send in their phones - as I've already said, I can't see something THIS good lasting for long - they're bound to start cutting the values once they've had their publicity and they start getting inundated with mobile phones and people screaming for their cashback / Argos credit.

Fill ya boots........ :beer:

Just thought I'd let you know that I registered on Sunday morning and recevied my bag and ecard today. All I need now is to receive my new phone from O2 (been waiting 5 weeks!) then I can get my hands on my money for my old phone.
