If it is time to upgrade your phone, then there is a good chance that you will choose one based on functionality or cost, or in some cases both. However, by having a more focussed approach to upgrading your phone, you may well be able to take cost out of the equation and even be somewhat philanthropic at the same time.
When you recycle mobile handsets, you can get a very decent sum of money. As such, this extra money can go towards the cost of any upgrade meaning that price no longer has to be an issue and that you can simply choose the phone that is right for you. At the same time, if you recycle mobile handsets, rather than leaving them at the bottom of a draw or seeing them simply becoming profit for a local second hand shop, you may well be doing something good for nature or even mankind.
Firstly, the sites that quite literally recycle old phones will be taking the essential materials from your old phone and creating new phones from them (or melting them down to make usable core materials). As such, this type of recycling saves energy and avoids precious materials such as gold, silver, platinum and many more going to waste.
However, there is another way to ‘sell my mobile.’ By visiting a site that will let you ‘sell my mobile’ for resale, you may well be actually helping out people who need it the most. Many such recycling sites will forward on your phones at an affordable cost to those in developing countries or even those in our own country who most need phones or are at risk in some way.
Therefore, upgrading your phone may well get you the perfect handset for you; but more than that, if you upgrade in a conscientious way, you may also be doing something very good for someone who really needs the help.
