Travel Technology - Getting Rid of Old Cell Phone?

I have a Nextell Motorola i60c cell phone. We stopped using Nextell and have no use for this phone. Any ideas on where to get rid of this?

Thanks

Donate your phone and write it off your taxes. Here are some links:

Verizon Wireless, a recognized corporate leader in the fight against domestic violence, works to combat domestic violence and raise awareness of the issue through the company's HopeLine program.

Marking its 10th year in 2005, HopeLine today collects wireless phones and accessories from any wireless service provider, and then refurbishes the phones or recycles them in an environmentally friendly way. Proceeds from the HopeLine program benefit victims of domestic violence and non-profit advocacy agencies, providing essential communication tools of wireless phones and wireless services, and financial grants.

Verizon Wireless' HopeLine program also makes financial grants to regional and national domestic violence organizations, such as the Family Violence Prevention Fund , the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and other select community interest groups.

Can you explain how to do this? We are over in the UK a couple of times a year and an extra phone would be nice.


I keep an old tracfone here in the US for friends that come over. For $20 they can activate it and get 40 min local time. And now Tracfone has international calling and rates that beat hotel rates. It's a good deal for little use/emergency use.

I sold mine on Ebay. You'd be amazed at what some people will buy. :D

It should read: "..for friends and customers from Europe.."

Sorry about the confusion.

A friend told me that pre-paid phones are very cheap in Germany.

And UK should even be cheaper...

Hi there,
If you're in the UK just buy a pay as you go phone. They really are quite cheap. The cheapest ones cost GBP19.99 and you can get pretty good camera phones for unger GBP50. Here's an example of what you can get:

Curiously, the prices online are generally more than you can find in the physical shops! (is there any other industry where THAT is true now?)


Alternatively, you can get a pay-as-you SIM card for between GBP4 & GBP10 more or less anywhere in the UK. If your US phone is a triband GSM it'll just work. Check the charger can handle 240volts though!

Have fun,
Jason
