Nothing we only require the phone and battery.
How many mobile phones can I sell?
Unlimited.
There is no limit to the amount mobiles you can recycle. If you have more than ten we can arrange someone to pick up the stock and pay cash on the spot.
My battery is flat, can I sell the mobile phone as working?
If you cannot test your mobile phone as the battery is flat and there is no obvious damage to the mobile phone, you can list it as a working mobile phone. We will test the mobile phone with fully charged batteries on arrival and will only downgrade it to the non-working value if it does not switch on.
My mobile phone is brand new, can I get more money?
Yes simply email us at info@recycleurphone.co.uk

The orders are valid for 14 days. Once you have registered online and got a confirmation email, you have up to 14 days to send us your used phone and will receive the price quoted.
What if I incorrectly list the model number or get the condition wrong?
If you have incorrectly listed the mobile phone we will amend it to the correct model and pay the current price. We will also amend the value if you have got the condition wrong (we may upgrade your mobile phone to working from non working). If you think the mobile phone may be non-working, but are unsure then list it as working, but please be aware we may downgrade it to non-working.
How Do I know you received my phone?
Once we receive your phone, we will send you a confirmation by email to keep you posted or you can check your order status in member login area.
Do I need to insure my package?
