New Windows OS to bring about Mobile Phone Recycling

To be able to make use of the new platform on Windows phones, the mobile phone owners could be tempted to recycle their old phones.

One generally gets tempted towards cell phone recycling as one receives cash by turning in any old phone but a new development in the UK has got everyone excited which states that a new entry level Windows enabled phone will be launched in the UK.  We hope that more people will be motivated to recycle their old cell phones in order to get the new platform.  For the US and the UK, T Mobile and Nokia will be joining to bring the new platform in these countries.

So which phone is considered to be the ideal in our future’s smartphone wave?  It is the new Nokia Lumia 710.  As soon as the new platform is released in both US and the UK, the phones will be recycled much more in both the countries.

Nokia has recently made a statement that it will provide US with a 4G network, largest in the world.   For family and friends to be able to communicate easily, they have also introduced the People Hub features.  And that is not enough.  Many other applications and tools can be enjoyed such as the Netflix, T Mobile TV and a leading internet browser.  Nokia Lumia 710 will probably be one of the most popular mobile phones in 2012, as per Juniper Research, essentially due to the presence of the new operating platform Windows 8.

Who Will Give Me Money For My Old Phone?

People in Britain are lucky that they have a wide variety of mobile recyclers who will give them money or vouchers for their old used mobiles. But, just like all other businesses, these recycling firms also follow different ways to do things, or follow different parameters to set prices. Hence, the best quotes for an iPhone, Sony Ericsson, Nokia or Samsung might be offered by different companies. Therefore, it is but obvious that you will have to do quite some research to be absolutely sure that the offer you pick is definitely the best. Of course, you don’t have to do this if you take help from sellmymobile.com.

Sell Your Mobile is one of the best recycling cost comparison sites in United Kingdom. We take pride in comparing the highest number of cell phone buyers. You can save a lot of time and effort as well as strike the best deals if you decide to find buyer here, rather than doing it on your own.

Thus, the next time you question yourself – “who will give me money for my old cell phone” (and you surely are thinking on the same lines), do remember to pay us a visit at selmymobile.com. We are a flourishing company that has often been mimicked, but no one has been able to surpass the level of our excellence.

The Fonehub Review

Hello reader or seller. As you may know we like to bring you information on all of the current UK based mobile phone recycling sites/companies/services that you can use to sell your mobile phone for cash . We review these websites and cross compare them against each other so you can get the most money for your old mobile phone.

We have wrote reviews on mobile phone recycling sites here before nearly covering every website. But there are now more mobile phone recyclers you can use to sell your mobile to and Fonehub is one such site that are fairly new to the game.

Fonehub promise to give you cash for your mobile in 3 simple steps.

  1. Fill in the registration form.
  2. Post your mobile phone into Fonehub.
  3. Get money within 48 hours.

Currently Fonehub are only paying by Cheque which is sent to your address but will soon be able to pay people by Paypal and e-Vouchers for your favourite high street stores like Debenhams, Argos etc.

However Fonehub are offering to pay extra cash for mobile phones if you have the original hands free kit or bluetooth headset or travel charger which you’re no longer using, send it to Fonehub and they will pay you extra cash for it.

Fonehub will buy any mobile phone as long as it’s working. And also recycle any mobile phone even if it’s not working to help the environment. Basically all you need do is select your model. Review your order. Fill in your details. Then just confirm your order and await payment after sending in your old mobile to Fonehub.

Very High Prices Paid!

I just checked using the price comparison tool in our sidebar and on the Fonehub site and compared prices for a Apple iPhone 3G 16GB model. Here is the outcome for that.

Apple iPhone 3GS 16GB Price Comparison
Fonehub – £250.00
Money 4 Ur Mobile – £202.50
mopay.co.uk – £185.00
Mobile Phone Xchange – £184.00
Royal Mail Simply Drop – £183.50
envirofone.com – £183.06
Sell Old Phone – £160.00

Nokia E65 Comparison
Fonehub – £33.00
Sell Old Phone – £34.00
Fone Bank – £30.00
envirofone.com – £29.02
mopay.co.uk – £29.00
Royal Mail Simply Drop – £28.62
Mobile Phone Xchange – £24.00
Money 4 Ur Mobile – £24.00

Amazing differences! And this kept happening for many mobile phones that I tried using the Fonehub price checker on the Fonehub website.

Free Courier Service
Got 15 or more mobile phones you want to sell and recycle? Fonehub have a free courier service where they will come and collect the mobile phones from you.

What they say “FoneHub is an environmental friendly and socially responsible company collecting used phones in order to re-use or recycle them. We pay the best prices in the market and have fast 48 hour payment. And we buy brand new mobile phones and iPods too.”

The Fonehub website appears to have been fully completed before being officially launched with Webgains and they have all the usual FAQ and Help pages. It’s always a good idea to read through their T’s & C’s before using. However Fonehub offer “Live Support” so you can ask them things via that before selling your mobile phone for cash to them first.Fonehub Review

The Dirty Truth About Mobile Phone Recycling

Ahh the mobile phone. An item that has become more of a necessity than a luxury item for many. But still adorned as so. And people will spend a lot of money to have the latest and greatest mobile phone with the most sophisticated features. But at what cost?

The mobile phone market continues to grow as we populate the world at an also steadily increasing rate, mobile phones become more and more mainstream. It’s said that around 80% of the worlds population owns a mobile phone. That means more and more old mobiles going discarded and ending up in landfill sites where they are destroying the environment at an alarming rate while everyone is oblivious while playing with their latest mobile.

Sell Your Mobile Phone For Cash

It’s reported that of the 90 million mobiles in circulation in the UK, only around 10% of them are actually being recycled. 10%! That’s quite shocking when you think of how long mobile phone recycling has been happening now. When you consider the damage they can cause to the planet. You’d think more would be recycled because of the awareness that has been raised on the matter. But there is a long way to go still.

True, figures do show a rise in mobile phone recycling. In people actually recycling old mobile phones now. It’s thought because of the awareness raised either on TV or online etc. And a genuine willingness to recycle for the environment. That and the current economic state that people will turn to ways to raise some quick money. Selling mobile phones for cash being a perfect way that one can go about doing so.

Yet there is much more to mobile phone recycling than meets the eye. Like any industry there are always good and bad. “Mis-haps” happen and unexplained goings on. I recently came across an interesting comment left on someones mobile recycling review blog that goes on to say..

“I really wouldn’t advise using some mobile phone recycling companies. I recently decided to leave my job working for one of these companies for moral reasons. Many of the quotes given are never paid out. Customers are often told that their phones are broken when they are in full working order and are worth more than is ever paid out. Some of these companies even rip charities off, saying that the funds go to a charity, when usually the charity gets the pence and the recycling company gets the £100′s of pounds. Many of these companies employees are also given the chance to earn high commission, so the more the general public/ charities are ripped off, the more likely the employee is to hit their target and get a massive bonus. I would recommend not using some of these companies, even though they work well in environmental terms, they would rather pocket your cash for themselves.”

Whether or not this is a true account by an ex employee of one of these sites I don’t know. I can see it happening though. And like I said, while this may be going on unseen on the other side of things. They do work well in environmental terms and the long run will be a better, greener future for all of us. Despite these things going on it’s bad advice to suggest never to use a mobile phone recycler. If no one did we’d have even bigger problems!

But don’t let it put you off recycling your mobile! Many millions of people have done so successfully and sold old mobile phones for cash. You can rest assured that the top mobile phone recycling sites want to keep you happy. They know in the next 12 to 18 months you’ll be back! Wanting to sell your mobile phone for cash again.

The Future of Mobile Phone Recycling

Mobile Phone Recycling or the recycling of mobile phones and other such electrical devices, gadgets etc have become much more mainstream now as companies create ways for people to go about doing this more than ever before. There are now more Mobile Phone Recycling sites online you can use to recycle and sell your mobile phone for cash to. We have listed, covered in review and cross compared these sites here before in other posts to help people make the right choice when going about using such a scheme or service. To safely sell and recycle old mobile phones and electrical products for cash. The most cash.

We have wrote reviews of mobile phone recycling sites and Compared them against each other listing how each one works and the various payment methods they offer. Along with provide the “Mobile Phone Recycling Price Comparison Tool” above which scans the current prices offered for mobile phones. Saving you time and effort and ensuring you also get the most money for your old mobile.

We’ve also covered many other aspects of recycling mobile phones and the sites you can use to recycle other things with for cash also. Such as the recycling of old CD’s and DVD’s. Or Games and Games Consoles. iPods, MP3 players. All recyclable for cash.

Paying more money than auction sites!

It’s true some sites will give you more money for your mobile than you could get for it at auction on somewhere like eBay. When you take into account the postage and listing fees etc. It’s free to use a mobile phone recycling service as all have a free-post service. And you can get your money much fast in some cases or still through Paypal with some.

Mobile Phone Recycling sites offer these payment incentives if you recycle your old mobile phone with them. They often compete with each other on the amount they pay per specific make and model of mobile. It’s always best to compare the prices mobiles recyclers offer using the Price Comparison Tool above. Listing nearly Every Mobile Phone Recycling Site. See how each one differs from the rest once you know which one is paying the most money.

All this was started from a something very small. And despite mobile recycling being the highest in the UK compared to the rest of Europe or the US. It started in the US but is rapidly expanding now more to other European countries like Spain, France, Australia etc. Even big names like Nokia themselves are producing schemes to help people recycle their old products. And your own local charity store may be running their own recycling initiative. All under instruction from the Government which falls in line with new legislation that stats it illegal to throw away electrical products and must be recycled under the WEEE recycling and disposable standards.

It is hoped that it will have a helping effect on and lessen damage to the Environment. As you may or may not know. Discarded mobile phones that end up in landfill can have a detrimental effect on plants and wildlife for many years to come. They contain harmful and potentially toxic materials that can contaminate the earth and water supply. Even though they are scientifically treated to contain such leakages it would still cost us a huge amount of money to treat. Coincidentally this would mean an increase in prices for our safe drinking water too.

That aside, there has been an increase in people actually recycling mobiles now. Be it because of awareness raised on TV, the radio or in magazine and the papers or word of mouth. That an abundance of old mobile phones stacked up around the country in peoples drawers etc. Yet it is not fully known what part of the curve that we are on. Only time will tell how long all of these Mobile Phone Recycling sites will be needed and will last. I think for a few years to come yet.

As far as they are we hope to list the good from the bad. The best of the best and ensure you benefit when wanting to recycle your mobile or product. And help the Environment too!

See our pillar post for more info and for The Best Way To Sell Your Mobile Phone. Along with a full list of all the mobile recyclers we’ve reviewed and compared. And our Top Posts here that will help you to get the best deal and most money for your mobile phone recycled.

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.

An Overview of our main posts here.
