There are lots of different questions that people have when they first look into selling their mobile phone for money. This paper will hopefully answer a few of the most common questions for you.

My phone is damaged, can I still sell it for cash?

Most phone recycling companies will accept damaged phones, but you need to be prepared that you are going to get a vastly decreased cost. In a few cases if your phone isn’t working you may only get 10% of the quoted price which may mean that it isn’t worth your time to sell it and you are better off just recycling it for nothing.

How is a damaged phone defined?

When you attempt to get money for mobiles different companies will have different definitions of what a damaged phone really is. If your phone has plenty of water damage or is physically broken in two then you probably will not be able to get any money for it. On the other hand, if you have a phone that’s in good physical condition yet will not boot up to the start screen you will continue to be able to sell it for a lowered price.

How much do I get when I sell my mobile?

This depends on plenty of different factors such as the type phone that you are trying to sell as well as what condition it was in. When you sell your mobile phone for cash remember that there is a range of costs so it is commonly a good idea to search around for the best deals.

Can I sell new phones?

Most companies won’t give you a bigger price for a new phone making it not worth your while to sell it. However , you can find certain companies that will give you a better price if you are selling a new phone that is still in perfect condition. If this is the case though then you almost certainly shouldn’t sell it to phone recycling company but instead somewhere such as eBay.

How long does it take?

Again, this depends on the company that you choose although the amount of time it sometimes takes for a phone to be inspected by a company and then either returned to you or accepted is roughly a week. You should then have the money with you shortly after that. Most corporations will supply a suggestion of how long they customarily take to get the money to you on their internet site.

Buying a new mobile phone can be expensive so it makes sense to try and sell your old one first to cut down the total cost. Find out how you can get real money for your phone at sell your old mobile for cash.
