Companies like envirophone and cex will now buy your old mobile phones for money. They make their money by then selling these phones on, usually to parts of Asia.
Before you sell your phone there are a few things to consider:
Phone Checklist
- It must turn on
- It must have no significant damage
- It must have its battery
- It must not be barred or be water damaged
- It must be of UK or european specification
- Remove your simcard before you send off your phone
Potential Earnings
How much you earn by selling off your old phones very much depends on your phone model and therefore could be anything between £5 and over £100. Although its never going to be a big earner, its a handy bit of cash.
What if My Phone is Damaged?
If your phone is damaged, envirofone may still offer you anything between 30%-70% of the value of the phone.
Other Places to Consider
You may find that you may make more money on ebay or simply flogging it to a mate, therefore always look around to see where you can make the most money.

Although it’s a good idea in principle, the problem with envirophone is that if your phone gets lost in the post you don’t get a penny, therefore a lot of your profit has to go on recorded delivery.
