    I've seen another one of these sites advertised on one of the Sky channels.

    I know Tesco have been doing this for ages, although, get much lower values. I think it's fixed at 500 club card points or something.

    There are also loads of charity schemes out there as well.

    it might work and they probably do give you cash for your mobile... but the question is: how much?

    I heard about another one of these schemes in the free newspaper.. the Metro. But the site you've posted give much better values for the same phones!

    Half of my old phones don't have a value. I've got a couple of Nokia Communicators and a couple of Treo 600s lying around, and they'll donate £2 to charity for them....better than them going in the bin, but they've got to be worth more than that...

    www.cex.co.uk do it as well.. plus they have stores around and about (just found out they opened one near where i live)

    They'll pay decent money, but they seem to be fairly stringent about quality.. ie they rejected my DS because the serial number was slightly faded. >.<

    dont look at me as if im dumb, but do they have to work?

    if their recycling them, and breaking them down or whatever, why must they work? so i guess they dont???

    Yes.

    * Is in good working condition
    * Can power up and retain a charge
    * Has no water damage
    * Has an intact LCD screen
    * Has little or no cosmetic damage

    Most of them are probably reused rather than disposed.

    Nice prices. Get &#163;10 more on there for my phone than I would on eBay.
