Have you ever sold your old phone to one of those kiosks that pays you for it?

I just factory reset my phone so I can do that. I am just curious as to how much I will get for it. Probably next to nothing..certainly not what I paid for it. Next step is to put it in my purse for the next time I see one of those kiosks. Walmart usually has them. I have more than one old phones around here, but this is the one I would probably get a bit more on.

I have several flip phones. I wish those could be recycled. I'm sure they can be somewhere.

You could wipe them and see if Walmart will take them. Also, could probably donate to Battered Women"s shelter.

Look up Cell Phones for Soldiers. They are great and the phones are appreciated.

@snowy22315 - I had some very old cellphones and they gave nothing for them.

Never. I think my old phone won't be worth much. So it is better for me to keep it at home as a backup phone whenever my current phone is out of work.

Some years ago, there was an online site that would pay you for old phones that was sent to them through the mail. So, I sent a couple of my old phones and of course they would not pay me anything because they said they were too old and out of date. They ended up recycling them.

Hmm, The one I want to sell isn't that old, but I don't know what their criteria is. It isn't new

Yes, not expecting more than a few bucks honestly.

Never did that. I may have to do that because I have two old phones.

No, Pretty always wants my old phones so she can run money-making apps on them. She wears them out and then tosses them when they won't work anymore.

Yeah, I imagine. If it isn't worth anything I hope they spit it back and I will donate it.

Yes, I did a couple of times already. Good way to get rid of an old phone and get some money from it too.
