[+Rep] Cash For Phones Sites?

[Mark]

Okay, so I have an old mobile in my house and I thought of selling it on these Cash for Phones sites, what I need to know is who to trust and where is the best place to go.

I have had three quotes from three different websites, these are:

www.fonebank.com - £47
www.mazumamobile.com - £38
www.envirofone.com - £39

Obviously I want a good price for my phone so I was thinking with fonebank.com but, I have never heard of them and I don't know if I can trust a simple google search.
Does anyone know if I can trust them and who do you recommend I go with?

Have you tried 02 recycle? http://www.o2recycle.co.uk/

In my experience the quote given is different from the price given out. I sent out two phones to a cash for phone website and was quoted at £45 for them both but I was only actually paid £32.

I suggest envirophone or mazumamobile as it is the most well known site. Even though fonebank has the best price, I have never heard of it. Mazumamobile and Envirophone have advertisements on the telivision, so I recommend going for one of those due to the fact I believe it is the most known.

Thanks Andy!

It was 02 Recycle actually. I think damage/scratches to the phone dents the price so if you're wanting the full price you are quoted for you must ensure that the phone is in good, working quality.

£74.00 for my phone, ridiculous. Better off putting it on eBay!
