Fonebank claim to offer the best prices for your mobile devices with payment made the same day they receive your handset. They offer free postage with free tracked returns (a maximum of 4 mobiles can be sent this way and they’re each insured for up to £51) and will return you handsets without any questions if you are not happy with the valuation on arrival. If you want to recycle 5 or more phones they offer a free courier service.

They have an extensive FAQs page which covers all aspects of their service from Selling to Posting to Payments and more. Their Terms and Conditions page covers all aspects of their service and is a must read before sending off your handset.

Unlike other mobile recycling companies, Fonebank is partnered with a number of charities, giving you the opportunity to donate all or a percentage of your payment to one of the charitable organisations.
