A few months ago I went on a big money making mission. As some of you know I work as a journalist, which doesn't pay that that well and sometimes I find it difficult to make ends meet. Last Christmas I had to take on an extra job in a chip shop (where I met my lovely boyfriend), but this year I wanted to avoid working 15 hour days and smelling of chip fat! So off I popped to moneysavingexpert.com (my oracle) and began to make a list of the things I could do to make a few extra pennies. I joined eBay (which was a bit of a challenge for me) and I decided to recycle some old mobile phones. I used the handy mobile phone recycling price comparison tool on ...  Read the complete review

I am a member of the comittee that runs my sons' Preschool and we are constantly looking for new fundraising ideas. I had suggested collecting old mobile phones to recycle for cash and although there are websites that orgainse this especially for charities, I discovered the amount they give you for the phones you collect is a LOT lower than the amount given by big companies like Fonebank. I decided on Fonebank as they do offer a collection service for charities when you collect more than 15 mobiles and you can have your cheque paid to your organisation. So I made up my own collection box and sent out the flyers. A few months later... ta-da! 22 mobile phones ...  Read the complete review

After a friend told me about fonebank.com, I decided when I was due my upgrade to see what fonebank would offer me for my existing phone, rather than keep it in a draw somewhere or using another site and getting less money. I have previously used envirofone and while it worked and I got some money for an old phone, fonebank seems overall to offer a higher payout. Which is what my end goal is really - more money. You log on to fonebank online at www.fonebank.com, you can either type in the model and make of the phone in the search bar on the left or you can select a manufacturer and then choose a model, with pictures on the main page, this helps if ...  Read the complete review

After successfully recycling a phone through Envirofone, I decided to give another business a go when my daughter changed her phone. This time I made sure I looked around for the best possible price for the phone which happened to be Fonebank. I was also able to get a bit extra by going through a cash back site. Fonebank as a site looks just like all the other phone recycling sites. You are bombarded with plenty of different phones; with the prices underneath them which you would receive for your phone should you choose to recycle it. I felt the site wasn't laid out quite so well as Envirofone, but all the same it was easy to navigate and find answers to any ...  Read the complete review

I have recently had a really good experience with this website and thought I would share my positive opinion. I had several old mobile phones lying in a drawer and decided to have a go at this whole recycle for cash idea. I had seen a comparison tool online where you can type in the make and model of your mobile and it will show which website is offering the best price for recycling/reusing. For the particular phone I was selling, (a Nokia 6111 - about 2-3 years old) Fonebank offered the best price at £11 and so that was the website I chose. The Website... www.fonebank.com is a very simple and straightforward website for selling or ...  Read the complete review
