The Best Way To Sell Your Mobile Phone

The site to Sell Your Mobile An overview and Description

We have tried to raise awareness to people in creating this site on mobile phone recycling and be a place for people to come to, to get questions answered they may have when it comes to recycling mobile phones. It was hoped that calling it sell your mobile that people would find it first before actually just using the first mobile phone recycling site that came up in the search results to sell and recycle their old mobile phone.

This was something I done when I first wanted to sell my old mobile phone online and searched online for something similar and used one of the first mobile phone recycling sites that came up in the search list because I already knew of the one I used. I sold and recycled my mobile phone with them and got paid eventually in the same week but it was then that I found out that I could have got a lot more money for my mobile if I had sold it to another site instead. I also found out that another site was offering even more money for it if I took Gift Vouchers as payment instead at an additional 20%. Which would have been perfect for me because I was selling the phone to raise funds for something from Argos anyway.

So it was that, that inspired me to create Sell Your Mobile here. To write reviews of the mobile phone recycling sites. To compare them against each other and highlight where they are different. So people would know which one is best for them and to help you get the most money for your mobile phone. To also blog about any other mobile phone recycling site information that has been going on since mobile phone recycling started and to create awareness of it. There were a lot of people that didn’t know they could even recycle their old mobile phone still about a year ago. While pretty much everyone does now there are still people who don’t and many people that have many mobile phones to recycle. People just like me and you who search online to see how they can sell or recycle it. Who go to use one of the mobile recyclers without knowing about which ones there are or are best for them. So they, us, you would get the most money for your mobile.

So we have wrote reviews and comparisons of mobile phone recycling sites here. Wrote about the actual company and their website and how to use them. Listing the various payment methods or features and benefits of each. Giving an honest opinion on them and even rated them as well. All so you can really make the best choice and get the most money for your mobile phone.

How to Recycle your Apple iPod for Cash

Recycling iPods

Apple iPod Recycling

Following on from one of our last post here about Mopay’s new Apple iPod recycling service. We’ve decided to put together a post regarding recycling iPods for cash and the best sites to use. How they pay and how to get the most money when you recycle your Apple iPod this way.

Many people will have upgraded their iPods and or want to sell their old ones. See why recycling is better than selling on the high street or by online auction site and the best sites to use.

Apple have sold around 206 million iPods since its first launch around 5 years ago. They are cleverly designed to be upgradable only to a newer iPod once the battery starts loosing its power holding ability. Which is convenient for Apple, but not so much for the Environment where they can cause potentially hazardous problems.

Thankfully because of this and pressure from government and environmental organisations there are now iPod Recycling Services set up that you can use to sell and recycle your new, old, working or non-working Apple iPod’s for Cash. Not only helping yourself but the Environment as well. If you’re looking to sell, recycle, trade-in or exchange your Apple iPod for cash then you’re in the right place. Here we will list all of the Top iPod Recycling sites you can use to get cash for your Apple iPod.

Apple iPod Recycling

First up lets just mention why it’s good to recycle your iPod. For starters in the UK there is now new legislation that states it an illegal offence to dispose of electronics via your normal household waste. You have to use a recycling initiative of sort to dispose of them in an environmentally friendly way. The same applies to iPods. Which, happen to contain precious metals on the chip boards such as Gold or Silver or metal alloys that can be extracted from the iPod through a recycling process and refined to be used again. This saves mining in places to dig up more metals and materials needed to create iPods and electronics in the first place.

By recycling your iPod to an iPod recycling service you are doing your part to help the environment by lessening landfill waste from electrical items that contaminate the environment and can cause expensive problems for years to come. So never throw that old iPod away! Recycle it for Cash to a special Apple iPod recycling site!

Review of Royal Mails Simply Drop Service

Royal Mail Simply Dropâ„¢ Review

Review of mobile phone recycling service Simply Dropâ„¢

Well the Royal mail have officially jumped on the bandwagon and have launched their own mobile phone recycling service and website that you can use to recycle your old mobile phones and more to for cash! Here is the lowdown and review.

Simply Dropâ„¢ – The Queen’s mobile phone recycling service!

Royal Mail Simply Drop

With Simply Dropâ„¢ you can get cash for recycling Mobile Phones, Digital Cameras or Inkjet Cartridge toners and Apple iPod’s or other MP3 Players. Simply Drop have a very extensive list of iPods they list that they accept and recycle for cash from you. And the same applies for Digital Cameras from companies like Archos, Creative, Dell, iitronics, iRiver, Phillips, Samsung, Samdisk, Sony, Zen and more. And Digial Camera manufacturers from Canon to Fuji to Kodak to Nikon to Polaroid to Sony and more.

So what you say? Well this adds more sites to the list you can use to sell and recycle all these types of things with for cash. It adds another recycler that are price comparable by using our Mobile Phone Recyling Price Comparison Tool above. Make sure you use it to search for your mobile phone model first and see the prices that Simply Dropâ„¢ offer compared to the other mobile phone recycling sites. You’ll see they are offering some very high prices. This is because they are new on the block and want to stay on top of the competition. A lot of people are going with Simply Dropâ„¢ because of these prices offered and that they feel secure it being directly a Royal Mail company. And not just for mobile phones either!

What they say? “Simply Dropâ„¢ is a new scheme from Royal Mail to encourage consumers to recycle unwanted mobile phones. Simply Drop, a Royal Mail initiative in partnership with Recycle for London, allows consumers to recycle their unwanted mobiles in exchange for cash or a charity donation to one of five charities, including Barnardo’s, Royal Mail’s chosen charity. To recycle an item with the new Simply Drop scheme, consumers need to visit Simply Drop, select the make and model of their handset from a drop-down menu, and a value will be given. A prepaid, degradable bag will be then be issued to the individual for safe postage of their item. Bags can also be dropped off at any London Post Office branch. Alternatively, Londoners can look out for one of the 3.1 million Simply Drop bags being delivered to households in the capital. “

Okay so being Royal Mail this is as you’d expect then the Queen’s mobile phone recycling service. As such you can expect people to go with them. Especially when it comes to how much they are willing to pay for used or broken mobile phones and electrical products. At the end of the day that’s all it comes down to, how much money is being offered. But people do take these other things into consideration. It’s probably why, coupled with that it’s run in conjunction with “Recycle for London” that it’s doing so well so far. That and as said it being a site you can compare using our Price Comparison Tool above.

Why use Royal Mails Simply Dropâ„¢? To recycle your mobile phone or old MP3 players or Apple iPods. Digital Cameras or Ink Toners for cash. To help the Environment of London as well. It’s estimated people replace their mobile every 12 – 18 months, leaving up to 100 million going left unused in the UK. If discarded to landfill it can have detrimental effects for future generations and can leak poisonous chemicals into the earth for thousands of years.

How to use Simply Dropâ„¢? Depending on what you want to sell and recycle. Your Mobile / iPhone /BlackBerry. MP3 Player / iPod or Digital Camera. Just visit the Simply Drop site for a simple intuative design. Choose what you want to recycle from the drop down list and narrow it down to the make and model. Select working or non-working and click on ‘Preview’ for the price offered. Then simply click ‘Add now’ to add it to a basket. Click on ‘Next’ to request your free Envelope. You can add more bags if you want but simply click ‘Next’ again to fill in your Name & Address details. From here you can view the Terms & Conditions which we advise you to do. They are, as you might imagine being Royal Mail, quite well laid out and pretty much cover everything. You could get away with not reading them but it’s always best to have a quick skim at least.

When you’re done filling in your details and have ticked the T&C’s. Click ‘Next’ again to choose how you want to recieve your payment. Simply Dropâ„¢ have about 4 methods. Via a PayPal payment or receive a text message take it to the post office to collect cash. Or a Postal Order sent through the mail. Or you can donate cash to 1 of five Charities. Only all of it though and not a certain percentage of it unlike Envirofone and Mazuma Mobile allow you to do. I feel more people would donate if they could donate anything from 1-100% of the cash. Right??

Once you’ve decided and clicked ‘Next’ to continue you’ll see a page explaining when and how they’ll pay you and be given a confirmation number. Simply Dropâ„¢ will mail you a Free Post envelope. It’s important that you write that number on your Simply Dropâ„¢ envelope that contains your devices. You will will also recieve a confirmation email of this as well. From here make sure you check out their ‘How Do I Send?’ page for more important information about sending in your things to them.

So what happens now? Simply Dropâ„¢ will mail you the Free Post envelope. Simply place your gadgets inside and send them back to them through the normal post. You can insure it if you want. And in fact. It is advisable to do so and use Recorded Delivery for the more expensive things. You can track your items on the Royal Mail site using your reference number. Simply Dropâ„¢ don’t charge for postage, handling or any transaction fees, but if your device(s) are of value, they recommend you take the extra step of paying to track and insure your package using Special Delivery guaranteed service, available at all Post Offices®. However you should be alright. You are dealing with Royal Mail after all, right?

Overal the whole process to sell your mobile to Simply Dropâ„¢ is very easy. And they are being used more and more I’m noticing by people through our Price Comparison Tool above. Probably because of the prices they are paying and that, again, they are Royal Mail so people trust them.
