what to do with old phones and accessories?

Posted by mark2410
i have been having a bit of a clear out and ive found a heap of old phones and boxes and assorted bits. its mostly rather old stuff, as im sure people can appreciate id rather not it all end up in landfill. i have pretty much babied it all and everything should all work fine (got some on charge now) but i have no use for them. is there anything really to do with them other than stick them on ebay?

I think that's all you can do although there is ways to donate to charity and they use the phones for unfortunate countries that need cellphones. I still use my old phone as backup and as my alarm clock as stupid smartphones don't let you turn off your phone and allow alarm clock to still work when off. I will take my hat off to the next manufacturer who solves that problem because I hate leaving my phone on all night lol

i guess its a good idea to donate or give it to someone needy....

what i really meant by old phones is OLD phones.

i used to go through phones alot and kept them all and they are pretty much all immaculate. theres an R520, T39, T68, T65, T600, P800 (another P800 with a broken screen) an R320, and a GD87. plus a couple others i can recall just now. i dont think they are really worth much but id be interested in them going to someone that will look after them. yeah i know its a bit crazy but clearly im not good at parting with stuff.

Wow man.. You got gold there. I mean r520, t39, t68, p800.. Why don't you still keep them? Maybe use as decoration (in a window?) or smth..
Those phones made history!

I personally would keep em'

well part of me want to keep them all forever but i keep too much stuff as it is. them and the boxes they came with do take up a fair amount of space too.
