What Do Phones Make? Money!
Review with images
10/03/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages Fast payment, simple process, exhaustive range of handsets, choice of payment methods
Disadvantages More proactive recycling on accessories required, no price guarantee, pointless social media pages

Sign of the Times It’s hard to think of a more wasteful, depressing use of the planet’s resources than mobile phones. It’s not that they’re not worth having (although some would argue the case). It’s more the case that we’ve entered an age when what is a relatively expensive, technical gadget has become utterly disposable. Everyone wants the newest, trendiest, most up-to-date model as soon as they can get their hands on it and the average consumer almost certainly replaces their handset at the end of each contract. That means there are an awful lot of unwanted mobile phone handsets lurking in ... more

Advantages EASY TO USE WEBSITE, EASY TO RECYCLE AND MAKE MONEY
Disadvantages NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND YOUR OLD MOBILE PHONE!!!!!

I must admit, that like most people, I tend to have lots of things around the house that has now either been replaced by a 'newer' model or simply not used for months on end. However, being a hobbit, I cannot bear to throw things away, knowing that in theory, they might become useful at some stage. However, space becomes limited in the house, and therefore, over recent months, have got used to the idea of killing three birds with one stone. Namely, firstly, to get rid of things I no longer use round the house and generally have a good declutter. Secondly, to recycle as much as possible, rather ... more

Advantages Easy and quick to use. Money back for old phones and good for recycling.
Disadvantages None really, maybe value of some rarer phones could be higher.

There's always a time when we could do with a little extra cash now and then, and whilst there are a plethora of ways to make small amounts of money on-line, one of the quickest ways to generate a nice lump sum is to sell your old mobile phone to one of several mobile phone recycling websites. One of the most high profile is Envirofone, which I have used several times when I bypassed the idea of giving my old mobile away. Here are my thought on my experiences with Envirofone.comIf it Ain't Broke, Don't Bin It!Any of us who have owned a mobile phone for several years always gets to that time ... more

Get paid for recycling! 12/06/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages You get cash or Argos vouchers for old mobiles
Disadvantages Your mobile might not be worth much

For those of you who’ve never heard of Envirofone then you’ll be pleasantly surprised if you have any old mobiles lying about the house. They basically pay you for your old mobile and they recycle it at no extra cost to you. They even pay for your postage and packaging as well so you have nothing to lose! After reading a review about Envirofone I went off to investigate as I had an old Sony Ericsson K700i lying about and figured I may as well find out if it’s worth anything. The homepage is professional looking and has everything you need to know at first at a glance. Like most people I went ... more
