I have changed phones many times but i haven't even trade in any of my previous phones. The main reason would be the trade in rate is very low and furthermore i change phones usually when my phones are having problems or are spoil/faulty. Many shops don't accept these phones and so old phones just become toys for the children :p
What about you? Do you trade in your old cell phones when buying a new one?

No, I never have, as I didn't know we could do that. I have kept pretty much all m phones, and I really don't know why, as they are all obsolete. I guess I was keeping them for souvenirs. I usually change phones once a year, unless I find one that I like well enough to keep it a lot longer. I haven't foind any phones like that until now. I have an android phone, and the best one I have ever had, at least in my opinion, anyway. I will keep this one probably keep it for a long time. Take care, and have a good day.

I always trade in my old phone when I get a new one, unless someone in my family wants it. Even though the trade-in value is low especially if its defective, it's still better than living it lying around or it ending up as a toy because there might be some hazardous material there. At least if I trade it in, someone will fix it and spruce it up a bit so that someone else can use it. Better for the environment in the long run.

I usually give them for the person whom need them. There're many students don't have enough money to buy a new phone so I think that my old phones are useful for them.

No, I have never done that, I do not even know if it is possible where I live. I guess it must be, but I have never heard of anyone doing it.
