If you're not looking to get a profit then http://www.envirofone.com/ is a good charity based one and they either send you an Argos voucher or a cheque. Send all my old mobile phones to them, not that I've been through many Laughing out loud

Or if it's in decent nick/newish model then eBay is fine just set strict rules on who you're willing to sell to...

Weigh it up, pros and cons, you did a Business degree Eye-wink

I can vouch for envirofone being 100% legit and that the cheques don't bounce!

Mazuma is 100% legit. They send the cheque within about two days of posting your mobile - I highly recommend them.

There's a place in Manchester (and I'm sure many similar elsewhere) called Entertainment Exchange, for one of these with a charger they gave me £69 cash, couldn't grumble since it was a freebee o2 sent me by mistake.

8800 sirocco,

rather not sell it on here though as it went through a phase of turning itself off all the time. Didnt do it during the last few weeks i had it but it could come back.
