What Will You Do With Your Old Cellphone?

i dont get a new phone til i break my old one so i get really sell it second hand. we never have sold them anyway, if they still work we give them agway or pass them on to the teenagers in the family. my school has this program though for unused, unwanted and broken phones. you bin them in a special bin to be recycled and for every phone the school collects, it gets $2.50. its a good way of fundraising.

I usually donate my old cell phones to charaties. Library around the corner from my house have little box next to the entrance door where people can drop their old cell phones off.

It depends! Sometimes I trade them so that my new cellphone will be discounted and sometimes too I give them away to my nieces and nephews. I don't keep old cellphones actually. I want them to go so that it could be service to other people still instead of lying idle in my drawer.

I would never bother selling an older cell phone as they are never worth that much second hand as there are so many new models coming out all the time. My last two old phones I gave to The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation who are a children's charity that provides direct funding, to families that have sick children. It is a good cause so I do not mind giving the old phones away.

Well, I have several options: 1. Sell it to stores collecting second hand cell phones. Of couse, the price is very low, about 20% of that for a new one. 2. Give my cellphone to my mum or dad.

Usually I buy the latest mobile phone, keep it for two years, and then pass it onto either my cousins or friends. On one occassion I have sold a very flashy one and on another recycled it.

I have sold them on eBay, but I also regularly turn them in for recycling. I just sent in an old LG EnV that had sticky keys and chrome worn off, they gave me $47 for it. I would have been lucky to get $5 on eBay, plus shipping was paid. If you have a cell phone you would like to recycle for cash, please take a look at my blog (link is in my profile) and look for the post on cell phones. It explains how to go about recycling your old phone for cash.

I always give the old phone to my sister or brother for free.

when i get a new cell phone i usually sell my old one on ebay. that way i can make some money. otherwise i just get rid of it. i get a new cell phone all the time.

I don't like to use old cell phones. So I will sold them as second hand phones and will buy a new fully featured phone with that money.

When I get a new cell phone, I keep the one I replaced as a back up. I have 3 phones right now. You never know when something will happen to your phone and you will need something to take it's place.

i don't have a habit of keeping old things in my apartment so for old mobile phone they end up for those less unfortunate people or sell the spare parts to mobile repair centers..

if the cellphone is in good condition, see if anybody in you family can accept it. such as your old dad, maybe he doesn't mind wether the cellphone is new or not. if nobody need it, try to sell it, maybe you can earn some money from the old one. if it really can't be sold, just throw it into the drawer : )

Now that I think about it, a lot of my old phones end up in a trash or recycling. I update my phone so often that it is hard to keep track. Once the iPhone comes out on Verizon, Im switching lines. Probably keep the same phone unless a better one comes out.

My first cell phone was hand down from my friend. But then it soon broke so I recycled. Did you know you can recycle phones? You can recycle every part of it because it is made of gold, plastic,metal.aluminom, etc. I put it in a drop box at a public library so they can get rid of it for me.

I will keep it because now i can't afford a new cellphone but if i had money for a new cellphone maybe i would sell him or give it someone from my family my little bro maybe . What would you do with your own old cellphone ?

I still have so many old phones I didn't even know I still had I think i'm going to get rid of them maybe in a garage sale or just give them away because if you sell them in a store most places wom't take them anymore.

I usually try to use one cell ohone for atleast a year before giving it to someone or selling it. I am into new gadgets as well , but the only issue is that they are some times so complicated that it take time to learn it and they becomes hard to use. I love my sony anyways :)

Collection of old mobile phones up to give to friends or when there is a need to sell the old electrical appliances.

Well i can't be bothered with envirofone! lol! Erm well to be honest, i keep a phone until it conks out. Once it needs replaceing,it really isn't fit for anything but the rubbish bin!
