February 10th, 2010

If you need to get money for your old mobile phone then selling it to recycling companies isn’t the only way.  There are numerous different options dependent on how much effort you are prepared to put in and how ecological you need to be. 

First off, if you want to be sure that you get as much cash as practicable for your mobile phone then you should sell your mobile yourself to a private consumer.  When you sell your mobile phone online somewhere like eBay then you’ll frequently get considerably more money for it then you would be from recycling phone websites.  The disadvantage is that there isn’t any guarantee of a sale and it is a lot more effort to sell it online than it is to a recycling company.  If you do make a decision to sell an old mobile on eBay then it is typically a great idea to have a look around and see what sort of price your phone is selling for and whether it might be worth your time. 

A straightforward method of getting cash for mobiles is to sell it to a friend .  You might be shocked when you start asking around other people you know exactly how many would have an interest in purchasing a middle of the range phone from you.  While you won’t be ready to get the same money as you can on eBay it is a lot less trouble and you’ll be able to give your mate a good deal.  You’ll frequently still be able to get more than you would by giving it a phone recycling company. 

If you are not concerned about getting the maximum amount of money for your phone then you may want to think about giving it to a charity.  If you have an old phone that isn’t worth much money then this is unquestionably a choice.  There are some charities that will recycle your phone for you for free and others that will sell on your phone and give you a percentage of the profit. 

In some cases when you purchase a new phone you may be in a position to trade in your old one for a reduction in the price .  You should usually ask the company you are purchasing from to see whether this is possible and how much you’ll get for it.  It helps if you have had a look around at phone recycling firms to see what they are going to offer you previously so that you know whether you are getting a fair deal.
