Sorting through models at ReCellular, a company in Dexter, Mich., that sells four million used cellphones each year.
We hardly like to even think about gadgets that have been out for a few months, let alone ones that have been already around the block a few times, but this week’s Circuits section of the New York Times has a story about how used cellphones, which are pretty easy to find for sale in the developing world, are starting to catch on here in the States. Several of the carriers offer them for sale on their sites, mainly for their pay-as-you-go plans (which makes sense since it’s mainly poorer customers and cash-strapped teenagers signing up for these plans), and there are companies like ReCellular traffic exclusively in refurbished handsets which have been collected by charities. If all you’re looking for is a cellphone that can make phone calls (and if so, we seriously doubt you’d be reading this weblog in the first place), then a basic used cellphone probably isn’t such a bad option.
