What to do with old mobile?

Hai everyone

what is the best way to make something out from old mobile?

I am under impression that if you trade-in with charger and manual you get £10 straight away!!!

It depend if are planning to buy a new one...to give the money to charity:cool:

  • I usually sell them on eBay and donate a % of the seling price to charity. You'll normally get far more than the £10 offered by retailers.

    I usually go the eBay route.

    It helps if it's unlocked and is boxed as new with few scratches.

    I'm on contract and usually get a free upgrade and then sell the phone for £150+ on ebay which then can pay for a better upgraded phone next time.

    Don't forget to take into account ebay listing fees, ebay selling fees and if you receive payment through Paypal and it's under £50 you will be charged to withdraw to your bank account.
