  • Don't bother with Envirofone.com, Rip off. Packed my wife's phone off mint including charger. Email from Envirofone.com no battery cover. Not so checked when sent all parts in order. Rejected the offer, they returned phone minus charger. Stay well clear.

    I have been looking at sites such as Envirofone and Mazuma and they have all been offering £35. I went into Carphone Warehouse yesterday and they will give me £31.20 paid straight onto my card (won't do cash). I think this is what I am going to do cause I can't be bothered sending they phone off and waiting only to be told there is a fault with it (there isn't) and being offered a lower price.

    CEX will offer £68 to £108 depending on condition, you can even go into one of their stores (with sufficient ID) and get the cash there and then....

    -for some reason they give you £20 more if its locked to O2 rather than unlocked, odd
  • Yes Carphone Warehouse shops buy phones. I went in and asked if they did he said yes he got the phones serial number off it and entered it into the computer and it told him the price.

  • Yup, it does:
    "It’s very easy, just find out how much your trade in mobile phones are worth by clicking on this link trade in mobile phones register your details on Fonebank.com and then put your trade in mobile phones in an envelope and send it to us, we’ll do the rest. "

    Your link doesn't seem to work? :huh:

    I found this: http://mobilevaluer.com/ seems to be the MSE one now.

    I have used Money4URMobile and Fonebank in the past month, both were quick and trouble free,

    This missus used Money4URMobile last year without any hassle, she sent them a handset with a faulty screen and they still paid out the full amount!
