Question Anyone "recycled" their old mobiles?

Hello,

Got 4 mobiles to "recycle", i.e. sell. Registered with fonebank and they will give me £55!

Anyone done this? Do they try to rip you off when they receive them etc.?

They all work and my W850i is in very good condition.

TIA
Clare

If you still have the box you may get more on Ebay.

I use Mazuma Mobile
Might not pay as much as Ebay, but its far less risky, no middle man to pay. No scammers, and pretty quick and straight forward.

Sold a few that way, and would happily lose 20-30 on a decent phone, just for the sake of not getting scammed.

Oh as for try to rip you off. Never had that yet. Plus they dont bitch and moan about scratches etc.

I would do Ebay, but I'm lazy and don't want the hassle TBH. Just wanted to make sure I was making the right decision!

I used love 2 recycle,

got £135 for a N95 & currently there offering £109 for my Omnia

not bad really, but you have to factor in £5 for recorded insured delivery

cuts out the scammers and the ebay mob

I used Mazuma and got £105 for my N95. The cheque came the only 2 days after I sent the phone.
