I have more than a few old mobile phones. These are still functional. I gave them away to my older relatives who prefer to use non-smartphones. I think it is not worth to sell these phones so I might give them to people who really need to use them. What do you do with old mobile phones?

i have a smartphone, but i'm still using my old nokia. it's good of you to give your old phones to your older relatives since they're still functional. we do that, too. in fact, most of my phones are hand-me-downs because i don't really want high-tech ones.

That is true. The important thing is to have a device which allows us to communicate.

@holdoors Not really because they are no longer of use to me.

@holdoors I have two Blackberries lying around the house. Nobody wanted it since nobody is using a blackberry anymore.

All the old mobile phones are long gone. I think I can have a new basic phone soon.

@holdoors Indeed! We can still make money out of our defective gadgets

@renicemae Yes. It is better than keeping them and gathering dust at home.

We all use smartphones now. All our old phones are useless now

Some of my older phones are still in okay condition. I will not say that these are useless but the battery consumption may be a problem.

I have quite a few and I've been thinking I should do something with them. I think I might just drop them off at the charity shop because I think they can sell them or send them to the manufacturers or something and get some money.

The first cell phone I bought that was used stopped working and got another and still have it. Sometimes I can charge it and sometimes not.
