Unless you have an up-to-date mobile phone, like an iPhone or Nokia N95 that is still perfectly serviceable, it is worth bugger all. Try it. Sony P800, a very advanced smart phone in its time. It cost about £600 when new, it is worth £3 last time I looked.

What do you think happens to these phones? They go to third-world countries and are sold on at huge profit. Having any mobile phone  in these place can save lives and spawn new businesses but the advert is quite sparing in the details. Phones that cannot be reused are scrapped to extract their materials.

Recycling is a good thing but what about when these mobiles can no longer be used? Will they end up on rubbish tips in places where there are no environmental laws. It is questionable whether this is truly an environmental solution. I am not singling out Mazuma in particular,there are many companies that will take your phone off your  hands for money but they are all based on the same business model.Random Posts:
