    http://www.impulsepay.com/index Not sure if you can cash in your mobile credit, but looks like you can pay for stuff with it.
  • Maybe not the best way to use unused credit but i had loads of SIMs with credit on them laying around so i have ordered some pre-pay credit cards via Quidco where you can pay for the cards via SMS -

    The Freedom cards cost £7.99 in credit and offer £4 cashback - http://www.quidco.com/user/185741/84486/freedom-prepaid-mastercard

    Virgin cards are £9.95 in credit with £5.50 cashback etc, - Just earned over £25 in cashback for airtime credit which i got for free and were laying around doing nothing!

    June: £43.15/July: £51.22/August: £90.60/September: £29.75/October: £284.07/November: £171.08/December: £29.22

    When you buy the cards for £7.99 & £9.95 does this amount stay on the cards or do you then have to load more money on them?
    Or did the £25 cashback you earned just come from Quidco if you know what i mean :o
    Thanks.
    Errrr...come back later ;)

    No the £7.99 etc, costs are the price they charge for these things:eek:Won't be using them but its the only way i could think of to get something back! The cashback for all the cards has tracked fine in Quidco so hopefully will pay out!

    Edit: Just to add you don't have to load any cash onto the cards - You can just order them and not use them!

    I sold my unused credit at sellyourcredit.com when I got a new phone. Only got 50% of its value but was less hassle than putting it on ebay.

    I have just tried getpoundsback at the w/e, I cashed in £25 from 3 and £10 from T-Mobile, 3 has not tracked but T-Mobile has. The credit has been deducted from all the simcards.

    Update
    Neil is sorting it out for me. Great service.
