One of the things you might be thinking about when selling old mobile phones is how much you will get for it. There is no fixed answer to this as it depends on a few different factors which are listed below. You should always remember that it doesn’t cost you anything to send the phone back so even if you’re only getting a small amount for the phone it’s worth doing. Some companies will make you pay for your own postage but most will provide you with a Freepost envelope.

  1. The make and model of the phone. This is the most important thing when selling mobile phones on the internet to companies. The make and model will go a long way to deciding how much you’ll get for the phone because it decides on the true value of the phone. For example if you’re selling an iPhone 16GB then you could get anywhere up to £130 for the phone which is a huge amount towards your new phone. If, on the other hand, you’re selling a very old phone such as the Nokia 3310 then you can expect only a few pounds for your phone.
  2. The age of the phone. The new the phone generally the more you’ll be able to get for it.
  3. The condition of the phone is also vital. You need to be completely honest with whoever is buying the phone about what condition it is in otherwise you may have the claim rejected. That doesn’t mean you can’t sell broken old mobile phones for cash though as in some cases you’ll still be able to get a reduced amount for it as it may still be of some use to the company.

Selling old mobile phones online is easy as long as you have these three bits of information available. Make sure you are completely honest about the phone you have got because it will be examined when the company receive it. If you do everything right and send the phone off promptly then you’ll find you have the money in your pocket quicker than you think and ready to go on a brand new phone!
