# hehe. That's excellent.
Places in the UK are springing up offering you 'hundreds' for your used phones which seems like a great idea until you realise that it's not worth the effort unless you have anything newer than a Nokia 6800 that you might get £30 for as most other older phones they offer you £1.
You might get £180 for an 8gb 3G Iphone but who would want to do that when they could get more on ebay?
Out of interest I looked at one that was plastered all over the newspaper recently and put in the details of my XDA exec that cost £750 new. £30 offered. Bargain. I'd rather bin them.

# Yeah, they're full of crap
You'd have to replace your phone on a monthly basis to get even a few quid from them.
We recycle them at Oxfam.

# Yeah. I agree with the principle
if there is a charitable excuse but these people are apparently getting phones for next to nothing and reselling them in developing countries for huge profits.

# I was out in Tunisia
in 2003 and got offered about £200 for my shitty PAYG phone that cost me about £50. If I had known, I would have taken loads :D

Probably. I would have taken the money if it wasn't all inclusive anyway :D
