How do I sell my mobile?

Selling your mobile phone is easier than you would think – once you have come to a site such as mobiles2recycle.com. After you have used our handy comparison calculator and decided on the vendor you wish to sell to by clicking the link we provide you will be sent directly to their site.

Once at the vendors’ site you just need to follow a few simple instructions, fill out a quick ‘online’ form and they will send you a handy and secure envelope in which to post your once cherished handset.

However, it is worthwhile noting a few basic rules of thumb to ensure that when the recycling company receives your handset they will actually give you the price they originally quoted – they have, after all, quoted you on the basis that the phone is in a reasonable condition.

First things first – does it turn on? Does it stay on for a decent amount of time? Do the keys work properly? Is the screen readable? Are you still able to navigate around the options properly? If the answer to all of these questions is yes then you are half way to ensuring you get the best price for your handset.

Secondly, how does the phone look cosmetically? Cosmetic damage or anything considered beyond normal wear and tear will reduce the offer you are given – so make sure that the handset is not chipped, scratched or dented, that the screen is clear and has no cracks and that all the keys are still in place.

Finally, before you send it away do, above all else, make sure that you have returned the phone to its original factory settings to ensure that you do not inadvertently pass on any personal information, including pins and passwords.
