    Selling mobile handsets

    When I was getting a new phone the other day, the mobile shop offered me £90 for my old iPhone. The wifi has packed up & it's on its last legs.

    I've also got a drawer of old phones, including a recent blackberry.

    Where is the best place to trade these in and do they need to be working/have a charger????

      The better the condition the more you will get, but as a minimum they need to turn on at least. If you have a job lot you might be best going down to somewhere like CEX on the high street. You will get fleeced no matter what, but at least its a decision there and then unlike the website which quote you one price then will deduct all sort for any slight flaw they see in the phone when you post it to them

          O2 recycle is a good bet. If features like WIFI have packed up, recycling websites are better option. My Android phone died in the sense that it would turn on and make a call but would crash when you loaded any app. O2 will pay up as long as they can turn on the phone and make a call.

            ^^^ This.

            Do them at 99p no reserve and you'll be amazed what people will bid. Knock back people asking you to send it to Nigeria though

            Ditto for dead laptops.

              eBay and mobile phones is a complete no-no. You'll end up with no end of hassle.

              Much better to use Mazuma or similar. Often you will get more money than eBay too. Tesco also give a ridiculous amount of clubcard points for recycling mobiles.

                    Please send me your bank details, copy of your official passport and £350 by Western Union for clearance fee for the barrister and I will contact you regarding deliveries of your new mobile phone.
