Question Has anyone used mprc for phone recycling?

I've found this company on the web and they are offering the best price for my phone, just wondering if anyone had used them and if they are a good company to deal with.

MPRC Recycle

Nope, I only have experience with Mazuma, who are good

Make sure the prices when compared include those who offer free postage etc. A few quid can make the difference.

They're offering £15 more than mazuma's cash price. I'd go with Mazuma for £115 of Argos vouchers but I don't need anything from argos.

Which one is that? I've obviously got too many.

Giving them a shot with a crabby old sony ericsson that they'll pay £18 for, good times!! Only thing that worries me is, it has scratches to the casing, and their terms say it'll be classed as non working if it has "Badly damaged casing" Hope they're not too fussy.

MPRC were part of the big Caudwell Group (Phones 4U, 20:20 Logistics etc etc). Not sure who owns which bits these days since John Caudwell flogged it all but they are (were!?) part of a big, established company, not some back-street dodgy shop!

Well i'm pleased to say that they came up trumps, well I say that, it took them around a month after me eventually sending my tester phone off and I've recieved a cheque today I suppose using the freepost service had something to do with the delay and I didn't put order reference number in with it when it was sent.

Will be sending them my shabby N95 now for £120
