10 Highest Payout Phones of February 2010

When the time comes to upgrade your old mobile ‘phone don’t just throw it in the bin or put it in a drawer to be forgotten, recycle it. There are good reasons to do this, hidden dangers occur if you dump it into landfill. The mobile ‘phone contains many harmful substances that you would not want to leach into the earth, antimony, arsenic, copper, cadmium, lead, and zinc for example. Burying your old ‘phone, when you are tired of it or get a spanking new one, can cause this to leak dangerous chemicals for years to come with all the potential harm that this can cause, but there is another way!

Apart from the obvious danger to the future of our planet dumping a mobile can cause, you are throwing away a valuable asset. You would not consider just throwing £280 out of your car window driving down the motorway would you? Well this is what you can get for certain types of old or unloved mobiles. There are companies that will offer the top price for your old mobile ‘phone and the lists are very impressive.  To give you an idea an apple iPhone could net you £280 whilst a Vertu can bring as much as £197 at present. How about £195 for your old Nokia or £155 for the Blackberry bold? What about £150 for your old LTC- XDA £150 for your Sony Ericsson Satio, or perhaps you have an O2 touch if so you will be £140 better off recycling than putting it into the ground, the list also includes Palm for £129, £128 for an LG, or your Samsung is also worth about£123. These ‘phones are amongst the top ten sellers but the list is far from complete.

Why not use a cash for mobile service if no one wants it and you get cash for doing so, you will be a bit better off and you will be helping to save the planet from those nasty chemicals.
