British mobile users have over £1 billion of old unused mobiles.
Wednesday, August 08, 2007
A survey carried out by T-Mobile and MORI IPSO shows that the UK has a total of 37 million mobile phone users, who have 52.3 million old mobile phones still lying around – this is an average of 1.39 per user!
The survey revealed that each phone is worth an average of £22.40, so T-Mobile are calling on people to claim their share of this money, and help the environment at the same time.
T-Mobile’s recycling scheme makes it easy for people to recycle old mobiles, and make some money for either themselves or for charity. All customers will receive a recycling bag included with their new phone, and anyone else can pick up a bag from their local T-Mobile shop.
All you need to do is pop your old phone in the recycling bag and post if off freepost and await a decision as to how much your old phone is worth. You can already check on the T-Mobile website to see how much your old mobile is worth before you send it.
The phone must be in good working order to be accepted and households can only recycle 3 mobiles in any 12 month period. Once a phone has been tested and accepted as working you or your charity will receive a cheque in 21 days.
This is a great idea for people to get rid of old mobiles in an environmentally friendly way, and earn a bit of cash too.
