Donating old phones to Charity?

Hiya

I have an old 3210 that I want to donate to charity, anyone have any idea of charities that will send out an envelope so you can send it to them?

Thanks

    You can choose a charity and they will send you a free envelope (prepaid), including Cancer Research UK, British Red Cross, Salvation Army to name a few.
  • There are loads of charities that will benefit from your mobile phone. I work for the company that recycles them. You can pick bags up from the charity shops. The Link also runs a scheme that helps lots of different charities eg. NSPCC, Help the Aged...
    We are also running a scheme with Children in Need where for every mobile recycled they get £5. If you want any more info, or bags for CIN please PM me

    Virgin mobiel will send you some envelopes, they will only donate £5 if the phone is complete with charger, and works, etc..

    I think Tesco take anything.

    The Orange stores recycle via a charity, and give you £10 off your purchase!

    You could unlock for free, and sell it on Ebay and then send the money to charity you should get around £10 for it?
