O2 Recycle

Has anyone used this and does it work?

I have been offered £185 for my iPhone 3G 16gb. Does this sound realistic?

The phone is in good nick, fully working etc.

£183 on Mazuma, so it sounds like a fair price (or £201 in Argos vouchers if that's any use to you).

Yeah had a check of the others and that price seems to be fairly standard.

So either I go for an HTC at around £400 of an iPhone 4 for about £15.

Also, posted this in the wrong forum but I guess it is ok since it does relate to Apple

My handset, according to Mazuma, is worth £1. What different worlds we inhabit!

This is the easy way to do it.

Or you can stick it on ebay which should get you around £250 if in good condition and unlocked.

Can't stand those blinking mazuma adverts - I took a wee look through google and found http://www.sellmymobile.com/phone/apple-iphone-3g-16gb/ - 196.79 pounds?

HTH.

I checked with O2 what the early upgrade offer would be for me.

I have ten months left on my original contract.

They say it will cost me £200 to buy myself out of my current contract, then a further £209 for the iPhone 4 32GB.

SO essentially for the next ten months I would be paying my current contract at £200 (albeit a discounted rate), and, all in one, then starting a new contract at £35 per month for the next two years.

So almost two contracts for ten months?

I think my concern is sending my phone to these independent companies, whereas with O2, at least I already have a relationship with them.

Although, what I consider mint condition may be different to what O2 or someone else consider mint condition.

I feel the same. O2 are a better company too, and I would prefer to deal with them over some mail-to places.

Prefer face-to-face transactions tbh. You can sometimes get more of a bargain added.

May try CPW, they did a part exchange on my previous phone and gave me over the odds compared to other places, and, they checked it there and then and we mutually agreed the condition.
