Comparison Review Between Envirofone and Mazuma Mobile
Two Giant Mobile Phone Recyclers. Both have their own features & benefits. Both have different ways they can pay you for your mobile phone. Both are the same thing. But just how same are they?
Envirofone vs Mazuma Mobile
Envirofone & Mazuma Mobile are home branded name mobile phone recyclers in the UK. Both run their own TV, online and other advertising campaigns so you probably know of them or have used them to sell a mobile phone to in the past or are thinking of using one of them to sell a mobile to.
Questions
The real questions are. Which one pays the most for mobile phones? Which one has the best and fastest service? How do they pay? Well even though we have reviewed these 2 mobile phone recyclers before let’s now compare their differences again.
Payment Methods
Envirofone have 3 different payment methods; Cheque, Paypal or Argos credit on a Reward card which gives you an additional 10% and you can donate a percentage to a Charity.
MazumaMobile have 2 different methods but also pay either in Cheque or Argos Vouchers and you get an additional 10% more on top of the cash value.
They both have the same Argos incentive but credit to Envirofone for offering Paypal as an alternative payment method which many people might probably find useful as well as the ability to pay off your Carbon offset where you can offset your mobile phone’s contributed carbon emissions by investing in projects that absorb or prevent the release of carbon dioxide equivalent to the carbon footprint of your mobile phone.
Website Effort
Both the Envirofone and MazumaMobile website are well designed as you’d expect from such large companies. They are both easy to use when wanting to sell your mobile phone and both have lots of information regarding their companies and the recycling industry. MazumaMobile provide a Mobile Phone Deletion Tool to safely erase your personal date before selling your mobile. Envirofone have more ways to interact with them through their “Green Room”. But you don’t wanna hang around. Just sell your mobile and your done. Still useful though.
Community Side
Obviously it’s good for any online company to have ways that its users can contact them. Normally a user forum shows a company has nothing to hide. Not that that’s an issue with 2 such well established mobile phone recyclers like these. Although both do make an effort to reach out to and work with the community in many ways. Envirofone have their own The Green Room page that is packed full of as they put it “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” For Green Issues on the Environment, News Articles, Your Views to have your say, Phone Offers to compare phone contracts, Money Saving ideas at home, Green Offers, Co2 Matters, Competitions to enter and Media Center that has a game to play and more.
So it’s fair to give Envirofone the credit this time for Community Side for creating all of that.
Speed of Service
To be honest both have pretty much the same proven track record here. If you search the net and forums you’ll find posts by people who got their money paid promptly and the amount that was given and posts by people with different stories. But overall both are real genuine companies and try to provide a decent service to people. Because of how Envirofone have Paypal as a payment method it means many people normally get paid the next day they send their mobile in and that’s what matters next to the value given.
Most Money Offered
Based on a mid range priced mobile. Nokia e65.
Envirofone. Cash: £35.02. Vouchers: £38.52.
MazumaMobile Cash: £37.50. Vouchers: £41.25.
And this is pretty much the same for most low, mid and high price ranging mobile phones. But it’s clear to see that MazumaMobile are paying the most for mobile phones between the 2 recyclers.
So there we have a way of comparing the UK’s top mobile phone recycling sites so you can make an informed decision on which one is best for you based on how you want to get paid. If you want the most money and don’t mind waiting for a cheque choose Mazuma Mobile. Otherwise if you want a Paypal payment go with Envirofone for a fast 2 day payment.
