    Thanks ringo, that is what I was afraid of! Maybe I can auction it off on e-bay as a collectable, rare item!!!

    Wow I've not seen a phone like that in years!

    Sorry a site won't pay for it

    You can check on the website to see how much is it worth for?

    Take to the nearest shop which is easy and quick!

    CEX have been awful for me :(

    agree fully with the previous post ... terrible experience with CEX. Downgraded all 5 mobiles I sent them ... claimed they had returned one of the mobiles to me because of an unknown security code (I reset all security codes to 111111 before sending off & informed them of this! why though didn't they simply call me before allegedly resorting to returning the mobile?) ... phone never arrived and they had no proof of posting / insurance to cover it's loss ... took ages for the cheque for the 4 remaining downgraded mobiles to arrive - it only did after several phone calls ... customer services by telephone absolutely appalling (cut off, passed from one person to another etc.) and by letter even worse. Two letters, two emails and still no response a month later ... feel free to form your own opinions.

    Mobiles sent to mobilephonebuyer on 5th Jan. Still waiting for payment. Their website says it has been sent but it hasn't been rec'd and there is no response to email. I'm hopeful it will turn up, just a little slower than the 7 day turn around it says it gives.

    Cheque arrived today from mobile phone buyer but it's handwritten and looks personal not business. I'm hopeful it will clear but not 100% confident.

    Firefly could you let me know if the cheque clears!

    I have been browsing the different sites and they offer far more for my phones than anyone else. I think some of the other sites do not offer half as much as they should be.....
    Total Reclaimed from banks and credit cards so far: £14139 :T
    Amount outstanding £550 :beer:

  • Hi,

    I'm about to send my phone off but I'm sure if I should put the charger in with the phone. Its fully charged but its not clear on the sites whether they want the charger as well.
