Recycle Your Mobile For CashYou've probably seen a number of sites who offer you free cash for your old mobile phone,now here's another one - Earth Mobile. They, like Envirofone and Mobile Xchange, will take your old mobile phone and send you a cheque in return.
For Blackberry users, Earth Mobile claim to offer the highest rates on the market. So if you've just upgraded to the latest Blackberry Bold or Blackberry Curve then you could earn a few pounds for your old handset.
For other mobile handsets you pick up a few extra pounds by shopping around between Envirofone, Mopay, Mobile Phone Xchange and Mazuma. For more recent handsets the variation between each site isn't that much but on older handsets there's quite a few pounds to be made.
For example with the Samsung E760 you could get £10 more from Mazuma and £12 more from Mobile Phone Xchange than if you sent it to Earth Mobile! However for a Nokia 6020 you're a couple of pounds better off using Earth Mobile than the other sites.
Top Tips for Recycling Your Mobile
Recycle as soon as you can! If you've just got a new handset get your old one in the post to maximise it's value.
Shop Around! As we said above, different services offer different cashback. Some won't even pay for older models.
Send It Back In Time! If you agree to recycle your mobile make sure you send it back in the agreed time. If you don't you'll get less money.
Make Sure It Works! If your phone is in good working order you'll get more money.
Take Vouchers! Some exchanges offer shopping vouchers instead of cash. If you're happy with vouchers you usually get a higher return value.
