Cash for phones recycling companies

Rubycon_2

I have a Nokia 5800 which I don't need anymore, so I thought I'd sell it. It works fine, nothing wrong with it, so I had a google and found a comparison site for the various companies offering to buy used phones. The best offer was £55 from a company called Money For Your Phone, which I didn't think was too bad.
Does anyone have any experience of this company, or any others? Are there any pitfalls to be wary of?
Any advice welcome, thanks.

Check out Cex. They almost invariably offer much better prices and (although some have problems with them - especially the shops) I use them quite often.

As for any others (and indeed Cex) search these forums because there's a good deal of feedback on many such sites.

Hey,

I very recently recycled my dad's broken Nokia 5800 Xpress Music with Asda and they were very good, an email was sent to me a few days after I sent the phone off to say they'd received it and how much the phone was worth then a cheque was sent in the post and the whole transaction was done within a week, I would certainly use them again :j

Do not use Mobile Phone Exchange, they may offer the best price but once you have sent the phones to them, they will offer a lot less, and if you don't want to accept that price you have to stump up £10 to have the phones sent back to you.
