Review of Money4urMobile Mobile Recycling Site

Money4urMobile Review

Money 4ur Mobile offers an easy way to get cash for your old phones.

Money4urMobile is part of Redeem Plc. A market leader in mobile handset recycling with over ten years experience.

Money4urMobile work with Boots, Sainsbury’s & Somerfield and help raise funds and awareness for Barnardo’s, Wildlife Trust, Breast Cancer Care, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Care and many more.

Money 4ur Mobile can be found at; 31 – 37 Etna Road, Falkirk FK2 9EG. You can contact them directly on their site as they have a live help support system or you can leave a message if it is offline. I have found their live help support system to be offline on the weekends which is fair enough as we all need time off to recover. Alternatively you can contact them by telephone on 0845 466 7145 (9am – 5pm Mon – Fri).

What they say: “We offer excellent pricing along with great payment terms and dedicated freepost address – we make it easy for you to get cash for your old phone and help the environment at the same time. We work extremely hard to try and include as many models on our site as possible – if you cannot find you particular make and model please get in touch and we will be more than happy to make you an offer. Customers simply choose their handset, send it in to us and we pay them in cash.“

There is lots of good reviews on the net for Money4urMobile. Most of which are by people who have 1st hand experience in selling a phone with them and give them a 5 out of 5 rating with people saying it’s a brilliant first class service that they will use again to sell mobile phones to.

How to use Money 4ur Mobile
Money4urMobile Mobile phone recycler
On going to the Money4urMobile site you will be presented with a flash header and the site is nicely laid out and looks quite nice. There is a form on the homepage that you can use to search for your make and model of phone to get started right away. You can simply enter the phones model number and it will search for it or enter it by make and model alone or find it by using a picture of your mobile phones logo.

Money 4ur Mobile say that there is a simple 3 step process to selling your mobile phone with them. Simply find your phone, register and place and order. Post the phone off to them using the freepost address they provide. Get your payment for your phone in days.

You will need to register on site and provide them with your address details obviously. They have a cart system that saves your mobile phone(s) in for when you are checking out. Once you have selected your phone and are happy to accept the price shown for it. Click to proceed and you will then need to register. You simply enter your postcode and it will provide you with a list of address to choose from. You will also need to provide them with an email address. There is a box you can tick on this page if you want to receive special offers etc from them. Just leave that unticked if you don’t.

When you click next your new account will have been created and your password will have been emailed to the email address you gave. Money4urMobile also accept old ipods for cash as well. So when you are on this page now you will have an option to choose how you want to send it/them into them. You can print off your own freepost label from the address they provide you with and use your own envelope which is the fastest way. Or you can request a freepost envelope that they will send to you to the address you provided them with.

If you scroll down you have an option of choosing how you want to be paid for your phone. You can either choose to be paid straight into your bank account (which is the fastest method) or you can choose to be paid by cheque that’s mailed to your home address. It’s worth mentioning that this page uses 128bit SSL encryption (little padlock in bottom right hand corner) so your details are safely transmitted and stored. There is also an option to enter a promotional code if you have one which entitles you to get a little more for your phone (see the terms & conditions)

Check the box to agree to the terms & conditions and then click to submit your details. At this point it’s a good idea to read the terms so that you are fully conversed in how it works. You would be wise to read these as they contain details regarding the condition of your phone/iPod and any associate returns policy that they do or don’t have as well as your contract with Money4urMobile.

Click submit and that’s it you’re done! You will be provided with an order summary reference number and an address to print off that you can send you phone into. Unless you chose to have them send you out a freepost envelope. You will also see here a details summary of the phones or iPods you are sending into them as well as a Checklist to follow.

The Checklist contains things such as ensuring you print and cut out the order summary and freepost address. Ensuring you remove and SIM cards or memory cards. Making sure your phone has a battery and is fully charged. You will also need to ensure that when you send your phone to them you get a Certificate of Posting from the Post Office. This is recommended if your phone has a high value to it. You should then use Royal Mails Special Delivery service so your phone is insured against theft or lose. You will also be told the quote given for your mobile phone/iPod is only guaranteed for 14 days so ensure you send your phone in before then.

You will then now receive another email from them which is your confirmation email which will again include the details from the order summary page such as your reference number. The freepost address to use. The items you are to send in and the Checklist again to make sure everything is right.

Send your phone into Money4urMobile and wait for payment to arrive. I do believe they will email you once they have received and checked your phone to confirm how much they are going to pay you for it. So long as your phone is in good condition you should get the price quoted.

Money 4ur Mobile also purchase old iPods for cash as well as old ink jet cartridges. They have a list of the different iPods they purchase and a list of the various cartridges they purchase as well. They give you £1 for every cartridge sent into them. If you have any old cartridges you want to sell, you can send them in along with your phone on the same order.

The Money4urMobile site does contain all the kind of pages you would expect from a mobile phone recycling site. They have an how it works page that details 6 steps to selling your old mobile phones, iPods or ink cartridges. They also have a Testimonial page where there are short testimonials of people that have used the Money4urMobile site to sell their own phones.

They have a FAQ’s page that should answer some of the most asked questions such as how you will get paid, when you get paid and any other popular and relevant quest
ions that are often asked when selling your mobile phone online.

Money 4ur Mobile have a TV advert that you can watch as well if you haven’t seen it on TV before. It’s just a short promotional clip that explains how you can sell your mobile phone to them.

Love2Recycle Review Cash For Recycling Mobiles

Love2Recycle Review

Update: 1/03/2010. Love2Recycle change their name to Money4MyMobile. New review coming soon.

Review of Love 2 Recycle Mobile Phone Buyer / Recycler

Love2Recycle are pronounced the UK’s friendliest mobile phone recycling company. Love2Recycle are a well grounded mobile phone buying and recycling company that have built up a good track record for themselves where many thousands of people have sold and recycled their old mobile phones to them for cash.

Love 2 Recyle will pay you by Cheque within 5 days of you sending in your mobile phone to them via their free post postal service. Get up to £150 or more for your mobile with Love2Recycle.

You can call Love 2 Recyle with any questions on free call 0800 707 6096. They can be found at; Communications House. Vulcan Road North. Norwich Norfolk. NR6 6AQ. Or you can send an email to info@love2recycle.com or via their website.

What they say “Users are simply asked to look up their old mobile phone, see how much it is worth and then trade it in. Once they have done the trade Love2Recycle sends them a welcome pack that includes a free post envelope. Once the phone is received they are tested and if they meet the terms and conditions users are paid cash.”

Love2Recycle.com are part of the ANOVO Group which is Europe’s largest and most successful mobile phone repair and digital product refurbishment company. They recycle many thousands of mobile phones every day which has a great helping effect on the environment.

Love 2 Recyle can not be compared in our mobile phone value comparison tool to other mobile phone recyclers as they are not in the list. However you can still use that and use their site to search for your make and model of mobile phone and see how much they are offering for it. On average, if you check, you’ll see Love2Recycle are at about 3rd place for offering the most money for mobile phones.

You can select your mobile phone on the Love2Recycle site and add it to a “Recycle Box” where you can select whether it is a working phone or not. Once you register with your details Love2Recycle will send you out a welcome pack with free post labels and an envelope to send in your mobile to them.

You can sell working or broken mobiles to Love2Recycle. They say they can offer a value for a mobile phone that is damaged/faulty. However, they can’t tell you how much a damaged/faulty mobile phone would be worth without seeing it. Once they have received and tested your mobile phone they will make you an offer by email and if you want to accept the offer simply click the appropriate link provided in that email. In general over 90% of all mobile phones traded in meet their terms and conditions. For the other 10% offers vary from nothing to 90% of the full value. If we cannot offer you a value for your mobile phone we are still delighted to recycle it for you free of charge.

As of always though please post your comments / reviews or any questions you may have on the Love2Recycle site if you have used them to sell a mobile to or are thinking of doing so.

Get Cashback Buying Mobile Phones

Mobile Phone Cashback Savings

Get as much as £100 Cashback on your next mobile phone

If you don’t know already there’s a huge cashback phenomenon going on right now. There are many cashback sites competing with each other by offering higher and higher amounts of cashback on purchases so that you go with them.

This brings great benefit to us as users and shoppers on these cashback sites because it means we can save A LOT of money.

A good friend of mine recently saved £60 by getting that much cashback on a mobile phone purchase simply by visiting the site she purchased it on through a cashback site first. But there are a few deals on some cashback sites at the moment where you can get even more cashback than that!

It’s so simple. You simply find a cashback site that uses a retailer you want to visit. And find one that pays the most cashback when you use it. Simply sign up to that cashback site and visit the retailer you want to visit through the tracking link. You make your purchase as normal and cashback is added to your account.

I have to agree there are quite a few cashback sites now that have sprung up over the past year. And it can be a daunting task to find the best one to use to get the most cashback for your purchase. Sites include: Ei42, (Who have tons of mobile phone retailers to choose from) CashbackKings, Cashbacking, GreasyPalm, TopCashback, PoundPig, Ecasher, FatCheese, ExtraBux, eComparison and many many more.

Each cashback site is different in the way it works although the principle is the same. Some pay you out in cash by directly transferring the money into your bank account. Some will even pay by Paypal and some can send you vouchers or even donate a part or all of your earned cashback to charity.

Get the most cashback for mobile phone purchases

So back to the hand at task. Getting the most cashback for your next mobile phone purchase! Which cashback site is the best to use? Well fortunately I’ve done a little research for you already. Being a cashback fanatic myself for the past year has gained me some experience in using cashback sites and I know which ones pay the most and actually pay you your cashback.

These are my favourite cashback sites and I try to do all my online shopping through them when I can to earn cashback on my purchases. And the cashback earned can add up to a lot over time!

Let’s say you want a pay monthly contract with a new mobile phone through Mobile.co.uk. Quidco are currently paying £40 cashback amount on a new contract mobile and £60 cashback if you get the new iPhone 3GS and £10 cashback for a dispatched PAYG handset. They have many retailers you can choose from as well such as Virgin Mobile and will give you £60 cashback if you take mobile broadband and £30 cashback for a pay monthly contract. There are also many other retailers to choose from such as Dial-a-Phone, T-Mobile and many many more. Just sign up to Quidco and then visit the retailers from the special link and make your normal purchase. Cashback will be added to your account for redeeming.

I have searched around on cashback sites and the ones I’ve listed about appear to be the ones to use to get the most cashback with. They are also the ones that have the most mobile phone retailers signed up to them so you get more choice when deciding to purchase a new mobile phone.

Note that it’s not just pay monthly contract deals you can get cashback for. There are many great cashback deals available on sim only contracts which are a great way to save money if you want to keep your existing handset and get a sim only deal. Quidco offer £25 cashback for people who signs up to a Vodafone 30 day contract costing just £15 a month. But there are also ways to earn top cashback deals for PAYG users as well. Payout for PAYG users will be a little less than those taking out contracts obviously but even they have their bonuses. For example, Cashback Kings will give you £5 cashback if you order an Orange pay-as-you-go SIM card through them from Orange. Add this to the fact you get £5 free credit when you register with Orange and you could be £10 up without spending a penny!

Some points to note

Remember cashback is never guaranteed because it relies on the cashback site tracking your purchase from the retailer you are shopping on. In most cases everything works out and your cashback will go through ok. But don’t purchase something just to get the cashback. You should want to purchase it anyway. Cashback earned is just a bonus on the side. But remember to always ensure your browser has cookies enabled when surfing and buying online and all should be well. If you do have any problems and don’t receive your cashback, sometimes you can simply open a support ticket and your purchase will be manually tracked and cashback manually added to your account. But all systems are quite sophisticated now and you shouldn’t have problems.

Sell your mobile phone to SellOldMobile
I do believe Sell Old Mobile are a sister site of Sell Old Phone. Which is another mobile phone recycling site we reviewed in the past not so long ago. They too also link to greenertomorrow.org.uk and wheretorecycle.co.uk. And are owned by Greener Tomorrow Limited. Sell Old Mobile can be found at 9 Berkeley Close Boldon Colliery NE35 9LQ. Reg Number: Z1530248. Tel: 0191 5362375

www.Sell Old Mobile.co.uk are a genuine mobile phone recycling site. Being a sister site of Sell Old Phone you would expect so. They have the usual things you’d expect on their site such as a how it works page and information on why you should recycle mobile phones etc. They display the data protection info on their site for your peace of mind so you know your details are safe.

How it works & How to use SellOldMobile

Sell Old Mobile have made selling your mobile phone extremely simple. There is a simple 3 step process that you complete on their site.

1. Find
Go the the Sell Old Mobile site and search for and find your make and model of mobile phone. Once you’ve identified the make and model and selected it you will be able to choose from working or non-working model. Even non-working mobile phones are purchased still. The mobile phone will be added to a cart which Sell Old Mobile call a recycle bin (very novel)

2. Post
If you are happy with the price offered to you for the phone you click on the recycle checkout icon and the next page that appears will be a registration page for you to enter your details such as name and address etc. Fill in those details accurately and click to continue. The next page will be where you have to agree to the terms & conditions. Click the check box to accept them and then click on the ‘Recycle’ button. You will now be at a confirmation screen with your address and item details. You can print this page off for your reference. Sell Old Mobile provide a freepost address for you to send your phone into but it’s recommended you use Royal Mails special recorded delivery service. Especially for the more expensive phones. That’s it! Just send your phone into them and await payment.

3. Payment
Sell Old Mobile will receive your phone. Check its condition and then send you a confirmation email to say they received it and if it is worth as much as was advertised on their site for the condition of your phone. They will then send you payment in the form of cheque within a matter of days to the address you gave them.

UPDATE: Sell Old Mobile will send you email confirmation when you sell your mobile phone with them. This includes your details and item details and login information. In the email is the option to give them your bank details so that they can pay you using a faster payment method. I think you are to email this to them but you should probably contact them first to get confirmation.

UPDATE: I emailed them to ask about this and they advise never to send bank details by email but to pop them in the envelope when you send the phone in. Or you can just call them and give them over the phone. I have actually been in conversation via email with the site operator and they have very good customer service. They are friendly and nice to talk to and I recommend emailing them if you have any questions for a prompt response.

I’ve just compared Sell Old Mobile with other mobile phone recycling websites for my Nokia e65 to see how much I’d get and they are paying on average about 5% more than others. However other mobile phone recycling sites are paying out more if you choose the gift card payment instead of cash (cheque) payment.

Sell Old Mobile Summary

You can actually get up £250 cash for mobile phones. They also accept any mobile phone and guarantee you will receive payment within 48 hours of receipt of phone. Even if there is no cash value in their phones listed with the mobile recycling symbol, they will also still recycle them for you.

Reviewing Ourselves at Sell Your Mobile

Sell Your Mobile Phone

Sell your old broken, unused or unwanted mobile phones (or cell phones) for cash online by recycling them to a mobile phone recycling service.


That is what this site is all about. With the rise of mobile phone recycling websites that will pay you for your old or unused or even broken mobile phones. They take the old phone and grade it on the level of its condition. If the phone is in a good condition they will probably refurbish it and then the phone gets re-sold on to other people. If the phone is not working or beyond repair it will be recycled. It will be dismantled and the re-usable parts re-used in other mobile phones or the precious metals inside the phone are stripped out and smelted down to be re-used again in newer phones.

This has a great benefit on the environment as these metals do not bio-degrade in the ground and can contaminate the water supply for years to come. So recycling old mobile phones is the way to go. Not only will you be helping the environment by doing this but you will also get paid for it at the same time. Get paid to recycle! That’s something you don’t see every day!

With the rise of Mobile Phone Recycling Websites this has been made easier and easier to do. The process if moderately simple. You simply choose a mobile phone recycling website and find out how much you can get for your mobile phone. Once you have found a good site that you are happy with and are happy with the price for your old or unused mobile phone, you can then send it off to them and they will pay you the advertised price for it in a matter of days. Normally by cheque payment.

But there are many new mobile phone recycling websites around today. This has been going on in America for a few years now but has only just recently taken off in the U.K. And to much promise as well. Thousands of people everyday are searching online for things like “Sell my phone” “Recycle my old mobile” “Cash for mobile” etc etc. And there are many mobile phone recycling websites that you can choose from. Some pay more and some pay less than others. Some have different ways that they pay you such as in Gift Vouchers or other forms of credit. Some pay by bank straight into your bank account but most pay by cheque.

So what do you do when you want to sell your old or unused or unwanted mobile phones? You turn to the net and search for how to sell your mobile phone online. But with so many of these mobile phone recycling sites. Which one is the best? Which one pays the most? Which one is just right for you? Well that is why this site at Sell Your Mobile was born.

Review of Envirofone Mobile Phone Recycling Website

Envirofone

Envirofone Mobile Phone Recycling Review

I’ve wanted to do a review for www.Envirofone.com for a little while now and am quite excited to do so as well. You may have seen the Envirofone TV advert recently? Well the Envirofone mobile phone recycling website is a leader in its class.

What they say “Envirofone is free and simple to use. Users find their old mobile phone via simple search or browsing, see how much it is worth and then trade it in. Once they have done the trade envirofone sends them a trade pack that includes a freepost envelope. Once the phone is received it is tested and providing it meets the terms and conditions users are paid by cheque, Paypal or Argos vouchers. They can also choose to donate part of the phone’s value to charity.”

“We’re the UK’s number one online mobile phone recycling website. It’s free to use envirofone and most importantly we’ll pay you in cash — all whilst helping the environment.”

  • Since March 2006 envirofone has paid out over £20 million in cash to sellers
  • Envirofone lists over 1000 makes and models that have a value – from 50 pence to over £100
  • You can turn your old mobiles into cash in under two minutes – no bidding, no auctions, no hassle
  • With envirofone what you see is what you get as it’s totally free to use

Envirofone are a mobile phone recycling business that work with charities and other environmental organisations to recycle or re-use mobile phones. They say they have a dedicated Environment Project Manager to help them manage the environmental impacts responsibly and are continually improving their efforts. I believe there mother site is http://www.envirocharities.com/ and they have a partnership with http://www.fones4schools.co.uk/ and http://www.rainforestconcern.org/ as credentials.

How to sell your mobile phone with Envirofone

On going to the Envirofone site for the first time you’ll instantly know how to use the site. There is a panel on the left hand side for you to choose the Make and Model of your mobile phone. Use the drop down box to select the Make. You can manually type in the Model as well but if you don’t know it just hit ‘Find now’ and it will provide a long list of phones for you to select one. From there you will also see the value of each phone’s worth that they’ll pay you.

Some phones have a small recycle icon next to them instead of a value. This is because Envirofone can’t re-sell it but will still recycle the phone for you instead. You can send it into them by freepost.

Of course some phones do have value to them up to £180 or more with Envirofone. If you’re happy with the price click on ‘Sell now’ which will add it to the cart. You will be in the cart now and you will have a few more options such as Payment options. Envirofone will pay you in 3 ways of choice for your phone. They’ll either send you a cheque. Pay you by Paypal. Or pay you in Argos credit with an Argos eCard that gives you an additional 10% of the value of your mobile phone on top of the cash value. The other option is you can donate any percentage of the money to charity. From either 5% to 100% of it. I like that feature myself.

Once your ready click to Continue and you’ll need to fill in your details and create your Account access details. Create your account with the site as you may want to use it again. Check your details, Payment Choices and Items and click to Finish Trade. From Your Account, if you click on View Trades you’ll be able to see the phone or phones you submitted. The phones will be marked as Awaiting Receipt until you send them into them. Envirofone will send you out an envelope for how ever many fones you are sending in but you can order a free freepost trade pack if you require more. However if you are sending in 4 or more mobile phones they also have a Courier Collection service. They will come and collect the phones from you and pay you there and then for them at your door.

Sell your mobile phone in 3 easy steps with Envirofone

  1. Find your phone on their site.
    Search for and identify your mobile phone on their site and to see how much it’s worth.
  2. Send your phone into Envirofone.
    Envirofone will send you a padded envelope to send it into their freepost service but they recommend sending it via special delivery which is good advice.
  3. Get paid!
    Once Envirofone get your phone they will test and grade it and send you payment for the phone in whatever way you requested. Cheque, Paypal or Argos credit.

The Envirofone is quite easy to use and laid out with all the features you’d expect from a top of its class mobile phone recycling website/service. The ‘My Account’ page is self intuitive enough and they have a ‘How it Works’ page, but there is another side to Envirofone. A community side. Once you have completed your order, click the ‘Green Room’ or the ‘Community’ link on the homepage.

As you can see Envirofone like to explain things in details and they lean on the recycling theme quite a bit but they also have the Community based part of the site. They say it’s a “place to hang out and read up on some interesting facts as well as the odd bargain. We’ve got really cool envirofacts, blogs, reviews, green special offers and advice.” To be perfectly honest with you no other mobile phone recycling website has anything quite like this. They go on to explain the Green Issues to recycling mobile phones. Have recent News Articles to watch and read which are based on related issues. Have Phone Offers to save money. Money Saving tips & Green Offers.

They are all offers you might not need but some are very tangible and using them could probably save you money. You will see a Household CO2 Calculator to calculate your Carbon Footprint. And Competitions to enter to win great free prizes every month just for being a member of the site. But you should check out the Media Centre and play the Battle Phones flash game. You can battle another mobile phone in a boxing ring style game. I have added it below for you to play!!!

All these things give a more community people based feel to the site. Envirofone have branded a household name for themselves with the service they provide. The proof is in the pudding and that’s where they deliver. I have had 2nd hand experience with Envirofone myself and spoke to others who’ve sold them. I’ve searched for Envirofone reviews online and checked for bad points and can’t find any either! Only people saying the same as is said about most sites. That they are told the phone is not worth as much as is told online. But that only happens sometimes because people can’t admit their phone is just not in that good a condition.

If you’ve registered with Envirofone to sell your mobile phone with them you should rest assured you are dealing with a genuine organisation and you like many others will receive payment for your mobile phone sent into them. You can safely send it in via the freepost method although using special delivery is recommended. Especially for more valuable phones guys.

So what happens now?

You’ve got your payment and Envirofone have your old mobile phone. Envirofone will recycle your phone. They will check what kind of condition it’s in and decide whether to refurbish and resale the phone on. Or they will dismantle it and reuse parts or smelt the precious metals down inside the phone which are reused in new mobile phones. This helps the environment as mining for these metals can have an effect on some ecological systems in the world.

If you have any questions about the site check their FAQ page or send them feedback. I believe they have very good customer service and are always willing to help. Remember, if you have an account with them you can easily sell mobile phones to them without having to re-register.

  • Get up to £180 for your phone
  • Paid in 2 – 3 days in 3 ways

Order Pizza Hut Game Style on the iPhone

Pizza Hut have released a new app for the iPhone.

It’s an iPhone app that enables you to order pizza from pizza hut. You can design your pizza how you want it by dragging it, tapping it, pinching it, stretching it, tilting it and shaking it! Sprinkle sauce onto your pizza or pinch the sides to get it just how you want it. Once you’ve placed the order you can play a game where you drive the Hut Racer to see how fast you can make a pizza delivery. Wonder if your pizza will arrive before you do?

It makes ordering pizza tons of fun and even more convenient than before. As if ordering pizza was ever a feat! We love pizza here, but you’ll love the iPhone app for when you do order pizza from Pizza Hut. You can check the special deals of the day and order without having to ring them.

Check their video to see it in action.
