  • I used mobilephonexchange last summer to sell my old iPhone 3g. Really easy, funds paid direct into bank account within a few days. I'm planning to use them again this year to offload my 3gs when the expected new iPhone lands. They paid a decent price too - not much less than I would have got on eBay and without any hassle/fees.
  • I've just used Mazuma and found it to be speedy and efficient - definitely no complaints!

    Used envirofone. They send you the bag straight out, you post it back to them with your phone, cheque arrived few days later. They also have some good prices, obviously check using Martin's Mobile phone selling maximiser.

    Been recommended to greentec by a friend, although I've never used them he says they were good and gave brilliant prices.

    Hope this helps.

    fonebanker comes in most at £115 for the nokia n95 8gb, which i would be happy with

    question:
    - do they want original packaging, box, manual, chargers etc.?

    mine has all the above and just as new, or is it worth nothing to them?

    Not usual to want the box - but I'm sure it will tell you somewhere on their website

    "trade in mobiles in an envelope" which makes me think they don't want the original packaging?

    Nope they don't want the original packaging. My friend works for mazuma and he says the amount of headphones, memory cards, bluetooth headsets etc.... they get sent is unbelievable. The staff seem to get first pick of anything they want, then the rest goes in the bin.

    Just send off your phone with the battery. That is all they want.
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
