What do you do with your old phones?

My first phone size is like a half little drink bottle. It was somewhere in 199+, I just keep them as history now. I think no one would like to have them and after all it's no more working. Then I start using small size cell phone. I keep changing cell phone since then. Some of them just damage then I throw it away. Some I give to my family member. Then for the latest trend that I do is to trade in it with the shop when I want to get the latest one.

Hello Well, When I purchased my last phone I have sold my old mobile. Actually I have already two mobiles, so no need to keep third one so generally I used to sell my mobile if I am getting good price for it. Sometime I keep them if I am not getting good enough price.

Hello there Angel Karah. The first hand phone that I had when I was 19 isn't with me anymore. Though, the first hand phone that I was able to buy when I already started working is still with me. I still keep it because I really want to treasure it because it was a product of my hard work when I was younger. I bought it when I had my first job so I just want it to be with me. I'm just sad that its battery isn't working well anymore. Of course, I just need to buy a new battery if I have my extra money next time. Then, I had another hand phone before which was a touch and type one. My sister really liked it and she said she wanted to buy it. I just sold it to her and bought a new one. Then, I was able to buy a simple phone which I really used for two years. Now, the keypad was already malfunctioning because it is only rubberized and I think I was able to overuse it. Now, it's still working but I only have it as a receiver. I just read the text messages of my friends and I would use another phone to respond to them. Though, I think it could still receive calls. It's good I already have a new hand phone that is still functioning so well. I just like to keep the two old hand phones that I have with me now. Maybe I could still use them someday. I really treasure them because I worked hard just to buy them. It's just a bit saddening that they already wanted to give up. They aren't so perfect anymore unlike before. It's okay. I still love them. I hope you are having a good afternoon. Happy myLotting too. :)

Actually I can do many things to it. First, no matter how it my cellphone is or how low tech it is, there are still people who do not have one and are desperately needed it. So, it would be better to give it away so that other people would benefit from it. Second I could simply swap it as many stores do offer this kind of transaction. Third, i could just simply collect them as souvenir. And lastly, I could just sell it as second hand.

I give it to one of my family member. :) I just had 3 phones. My 4th phone is still in use right now. I'm planning to buy another phone by the end of the year and my mom will be the next heir of the phone that I'm using right now. :D I don't sell my old phones. Still want to see them using by my family members.

I have so many old mobile phones and some of them are monochrome mobile phones. They are really old stuffs, rite? I have been using them , I use them for texting to my customers. The new one is for my colleague, family , and browsing internet. The rest are for my family , they use them for texting their customers too. So we have different number mobile phone for customer and for family . We never think to sell the old phones, my mom doesn't allow me for selling them. You know the price of the mobile phones will be so low , more over if it had been stopped producing . The price will be same as the meals for a day , I mean it .

I tend to replace my mobile phone every 18 months or so, which are acquired via an upgrade on my monthly contract. This, as you say, leaves me the old phone in my possession. I always keep the old one during the period up to my next upgrade so that I have a spare mobile in case of any problems or loss of the current one. Therefore I still have the Sony Ericsson that I have replaced. All older mobiles I usually give to friends or work colleagues, because they are still only 3 years or so old and are often an improvement for those with older models. I have never considered selling one because the price that I could acquire would be well below the market value so I prefer that they go to someone I know.

As I usually only replace my phone when it's no longer usable, I throw it out. Once I got a small discount from turning it in to the cell company when I bought a new one. My last phone is sitting in a drawer without a number. I transferred my old number to my new sim card. No one would want my old phones except for friends and family visiting on vacation. Because all my phones have all been bare bones phones, kids surly wouldn't want them. They would be embarrassed to have such an old phone.

My old phone is longer in my possession. It is damage due to water...my old is not compatible with the current sim card or post paid. Because the phone before is not using sim card...

i still my old phone.. iam satisfied with the durability and performance of my old phone..

I give mine to the local shelter for battered and abused women. Actually, my wife does it for me. They do not tell men where they are located, not should they. I give them the phone, the charger, and the instruction manual. They set them up with the capability of calling the shelter and 911, then give to women when they have to leave to go to work or whatever.

Hi angelkarah! :) How's your day?... Back to topic, i usually swap or sell my old phones, but some of them i just gave to my yaya as a reward. :)

I give them to younger cousins..:D but the funny thing here..the kids complained and demanded for upgraded phones too :D hahaa!

i just make them as my collection, or i just donate it to the person who deserves it more.. ...good day!...

I Like having more than one phones but sometimes I end up with three , I would sell the other one if my brother dont want it . If I happen to meet a stranger that in need pf a phone I will give it away .

I buy new phones because I lost my old one. I would love to have all of them be my collection but nothings left. If ever I'll buy new one soon, I'd better keep my old one to be a collection of mine.

Normally, I shall change my cell phone only when it has problem. Instead of paying the repairing cost, I shall buy a new one for replacement. About my old cell phones, I just left the whole cell phones at any of the donation containers. I believed those organizers could repair it with very low cost and they could manage to distribute to those who needed second hand cell phones. Sometimes, I do donate my old good cell phone too if I have to replace my existing cell phone with advance features. For me, I never want to dump my old cell phone into the trash beg.

hi, the first phone that i have was when i was in college,and it was a nokia 5110,but the old phone that i still in me is my 3210,i still using it but no so often,i kept it as my remembrance so i don't want it to sell it or give to someone.

Hi friend, i am not interested in changing my phones frequently as well as don't use the same phone for a long time too. I will exchange my old phones for the new ones, i change my phone once in every two or three years using the exchange offers

When I have a new phone I gave my old ones to my cousin or my mother :) My mom's not into new phones that's why she keeps on asking me for my old phones. I don't sell them or throw them away. It is just good to give them to people which needs them more than I do :)
