T-Mobile In Britain Offering Cash For Used Mobile Phones

T-Mobile in Britain has come up with an initiative to recycle some of the estimated 52 million unused mobile phones in the country. They are offering cash for them.

“With a stockpile over 52 million handsets sitting redundant at home, there is an opportunity for all mobile phone owners to get their share of this $1 billion,” said Devine Kofiloto, Principal Analyst at Informa Telecoms & Media. “The issue of mobile phone recycling has been discussed across the industry for several years – now is the time for people to realize that they can do their bit and raise money either for charity or themselves at the same time.”

Some phones could be worth as much as $160.00 dollars for the previous owner or they could elect to give the proceeds to charity. They are accepting both working and non-working mobile phones.
