I just had a look, they are offering 5 less than mobileforcash on one phone and don't have the other phone listed of the 2 phones that I want to trade.

Hi

Just used Mazuma to recycle my Nokia 6280 - they were excellent!

I was offered the best price by them - filled in the online form and got an envelope 2 days later. I posted the phone last week and recieved my cheque this morning!!

Very happy as the phone was just lying in a drawer :beer:

How long do Envirofone usually take to pay out? I sent my phone to them on the 19th march, it was received next day but has sat at "received" since then. Allowing for the Easter holiday of course but I was told 7 days max.

The 7 days is from the date of TESTING, not the date they receive it.

They received my phone on 17 March, and I received confirmation yesterday that it had tested OK and I should receive my cheque within 7 days. On that basis, I'd say you should receive confirmation within the next few days and a cheque within 7-10 days.

Ian :cool:

I placed a trade on 15/3 with mobileforcash and have still not received the envelope, so am obviously wary about using them now. I emailed them over week ago and still no received a response from them.

By coincedence, I received an email from them this afternoon, the phone is tested and ok and payment will be made within 7 days :beer:

I sold a Nokia 6300 in store to CEX today, they graded it a B = £51, I had to wait half an hour while they tested it, but at least it was cash on the day rather than waiting for a cheque, as I know a lot of people are waiting a while for their cheques when they trade online.

Hi everyone,

I've read through the messages posted but it's left me more confused than I was in the first place! I want to get rid of some of my old phones which, to be honest, are just cluttering the place up, and would love to get some money for them.

Mobile2pay gave me the best price but I've seen a few bad reviews on here.

What should I do?! Who should I use?!

Thanks,

Cex usually pay by far the best. I've sold at least three top class phones and had to chase many times but always got what I should have. However, I always send SD too - cheaper if you're sending more than one as I have once.
