    How long do envirofone take from receiving a phone to showing it as received on the site? I posted on 22nd and it still says WAITING. I got proof of postage incase it all goes wrong.

    I send 2 phones off to MOPAY as per their e-mail confirmation to me on 21-08 in plain jiffy bag and addressed as informed by their e-mail to Freepost Mopay.
    As of todate no confirmation of receipt or my e-mail requesting the confirmation.
    I am not happy-how long does it take

    Has anyone had there phone rejected by them??

    I know they have to meet the following:
    a) should power-up (turn on) and be in a working condition

    b) should not be crushed or water damaged although may have some mild cosmetic damage such as light scratching to fascias and surrounds

    c) should have its battery and memory card (if your phone came with one originally)

    d) should appear in our online guide

    e) should of be UK / European specification

    but what if I don't original equipemnt covers and keypads etc?? :confused:

  • Has anyone any experience - good or bad - about selling their old mobiles on this site? They seem to pay more than other sites. I have a few to sell. Any experience shared would be appreciated.

    Welcome to any new user coming to MSE after watching Martin on Lorraine Kelly this morning :)

    Once you have read Martin's article in the opening post hopefully you might be able to make some money from your old mobiles or will find a charity to donate them to.
