Working & Non Working Items
WORKING ITEMS
Working condition means the item must switch on. It should have no more than mild cosmetic damage (ie, no missing, damaged, or cracked parts), and its original battery. Make sure there are no PIN numbers or security locks on the phone. If possible, restore the factory settings.
As a rule, you don't usually need to provide accessories that come with your items, such as chargers or cases, but most companies will recycle these properly for you (though you could keep them as a spare or sell them on eBay).
Wipe off any private data and send your gadget fully charged, switched off, without extras like Sim or memory cards.
NON WORKING ITEMS
If the item is broken, it should still be intact and include its battery if it has one.
Most providers will all recycle non-working items, offering a reduced price for these. Expect to get around 50-90% less. If they can't offer you any money for the broken item, they will recycle them for you (unless you ask for it back).
It's important to note that if you do decline the offer, you may have to pay to get your item back. Most recycling sites will return it for free, though do check.
Typical damage which might mean you'll get less cash includes badly damaged casing, a phone locked with a PIN number or an item that won't turn on. Water-damaged and broken phones with unresponsive or cracked screens will probably get zero cash.

Will I still be able to get cash for my phone if it's broken or non-working?
Yes! Most all of the phone buyers featured on our site will still pay you for a phone that's not working. To find out how much your phone is worth just enter the make and model of your phone into the search box.
Can I still sell my phone if it has been barred?
No! Phones that have been barred have been reported as stolen to the police: all phones received by the phone recyclers are checked against a national database of stolen phones and if they are found to be stolen they are reported to the police and destroyed.
Will I have to pay for postage?
Generally No. Many of the phone buyers we feature on our site offer a Free Postage service. Many will even send you a free postage bag so you don't even have to package the phone yourself.
You should also be very careful when you package your item to make sure it is not damaged during transit. If you still have your device's original packaging, sending it this way is a fantastic way to send it. If you do not have the original packaging, make sure that you cushion your item well so that the device will not move during transit, preferably in a rigid carboard packaging.
You can use bubble wrap, or cardboard wrapped around your phone to cushion it. You should also not send more than two devices containing batteries in the same package.
How will I be paid?
The mobile phone buyers we compare on our site use many different methods of payment. The most common are cheque, bank transfer, PayPal, Postal Order, same day payment and shopping vouchers. Choose the best method to suit you.
You can either take the cash price or you might prefer shopping vouchers for places like Argos and Marks and Spencer. As you can see several of the phone buyers offer a higher value in vouchers than the cash price.
I sent my mobile to you and I've not had my money!
We are mobile phone recycling price comparison site. We do not actually buy the phones ourselves so you would not have sent the phone to us.
The way it works is that you go on to our site and search for your phone then our site compares the prices for that phone from all the different phone buyers so you get the best deal when selling your old mobile. You choose which phone buyer you want to sell your mobile to and then you click through from our site to the phone buyer site to place your order. This means your order is not actually placed with us but direct with the phone buyer and so if you have any query about your order you will need to speak direct to the company you placed the order with.
When you placed your order with the phone buyer you should have received an email confirmation from them with their details and how to contact them. Please get in contact with the customer service department at the company you placed your order with and they will be able to help you.
What happens to my phone after I send it in?
Most of the phones are either sent for reuse in markets such as China, Africa, and India or they are refurbished and sold in the UK. It is environmentally friendly to provide a phone for reuse by someone else. If your phone cannot be resold and reused by someone else because it is broken or badly damaged and is therefore deemed by the phone buyer to be 'Beyond Economical Repair' then it is disposed of in an environmentally friendly way so it doesn't end up in a landfill site.
