Where to buy a recycled mobile phone

Hi all,

I have read about sites that buy your old mobile phones but are there any companies that SELL recycled phones? I don't mean Ebay but other companies. What happens to all the recycled phones? They don't all get sent to Africa or India do they?

Thanks for any reply.

    Why are you looking to buy a recycled phone when you can get new for not much money?

    Places to try CEX (Computer exchange), Gumtree, Loot, Expansys.com, etc....if you want to avoid ebay.

    I'm looking for a cheapish smartphone or even an iphone (ha ha) I know that is highly unlikely, at least for another year at least!!

    There's a neary new Nokia 5310 xpress music, boxed and sim free on Gumtree for around £30. A decent little phone with internet ability. Not a bad price either
