    Emailing you takes too much time, but I put in Nokia 6220 Classic and it only finds my phone on 2 sites, the others it gives prices for the Nokia 6220 (a really old phone), although many of them do have the 6220 classic so it makes it look like I can't get any money for my phone.
  • Can someone please explain how the Provider Reliability status work? Why do some companies have "GOOD FEEDBACK" when their feedback looks nothing but BAD????????????????

    This tool is now inaccurate.
  • Be aware if the software on the phone is not upto date the company can lower the valuation.

    This happened to me AFTER I had traded in thus denying me the opportunity to check and upgrade it as I could easily have done.
  • I have 6 old mobiles to sell, but only one of them comes up on the list - and that's the only one that's not really working (screen's bust, but it's probably fine otherwise!). They are Nokias, Motorolas, and Treos. When I go to the full list, they don't appear there either. They're not THAT old, really, I shouldn't think any of them are more than 10yrs.

    Avoid Selloldphone.co.uk/Greener Tomorrow LTD at all cost!!!

    I had two phones to recycle.

    I used the above company to sell my Nokia 6300. They offered me £37.50 on the site, but when I got my cheque, it was for the sum of £27.00 They informed me that they had down graded my phone, because it had a chip in the screen, to which it did not have when I sent it to them. It also took them more than a week to send me my cheque, to which broke the their web site promise of payment within 7 days.

    I sold my other Nokia (6230) through Fonebank.com I would fully recommend this company. I got the web price has said, plus my cheque was sent to me return of post!!!
