Mobile recycling - anyone done it?

[Blue_SV650S]

Keep seeing adverts for various places that do this e.g.

www.mazumamobile.com

www.Envirofone.com

(and another one I can't remember - bad advertising that!! )

looked up a couple of my old phones and can make a few quid - get rid of some junk at the same time ... win win!!

Anyone ever used one of these type of sites? Did you get paid??? any hidden costs/problems?!!?

TIA

You usually get about half of what you can get on Ebay.

Might as well post in this before the inevitable;
"Today I did do - Mobile Recycling" thread.
My last mobile I recycled with Envirofone, only because they screen was fubar'd.
Believe the full price was only 10 quid more than I got (I opted for argos vouchers, as I used to buy Xbox games from there.

I tried it and most of my old phones are nil value.

Ericsson GA628
Maxon MA1
Nokia 3110
Nokia 5110
Nokia 3210
Nokia 7610
Nokia 6680

They all work still and getting the Ericsson out gets looks...

I sent mine off in a charity bag (Red Nose Day, I think) so that it could be recycled or something?

Just remember to delete everything, else you'll end up with lots of personal stuff all over t'internet!!

just had my emails today

sent three perfectly good phones one was broken when it got there but still getting 30 quid for old rubbish

win win for me

I have used Envirofone in the past (I think it was them). It was hassle free and I got exactly what they said they would give me, it is important to remember that only modern & not so far out of date phones are worth anything. Any other really old ones I have had lying around I have stuck in the special charity mobile recycling envelopes and sent them off.
