Question Old mobile phones

I've found a couple of ancient mobile phones in the loft, a Motorola Graphite on One2One still in it's original packaging and a Nokia the size of a brick. The Motorola has switched on and started charging which is incredible with how old it is (15 years maybe) but the Nokia is dead.

Stick them in the bin or are these things still recycleable? I've even got a carphonewarehouse magazine from March 1999 and you should see the state of the mobiles from back then

All electricals are recyclable at your local waste and refuse centre....eg the tip. Old nokia might be worth taking to antiques roadshow in a few years!

The Nokia is now switched on and charging, just needed to be left 20 mins. The Nokia is actually trying to hold some charge but the Motorola wont keep any. Was just interested to see how old tech perfomrs after years stuck in a loft.

Would either stick them on eBay or sell to someone like mazuma mobile, don't bin them.

I thought they would be too old to sell to either one of those and only worthy of the bin?

That's a pic of the Motorola one



You can safely say that comes under the no value for reuse section of Mazuma! The sim card is the size of a credit card
