After Christmas – many  Irish homes will probably have a few old mobile phones that have been replaced by a new smartphone . Those old mobile phones can be recycled for cash .

If you live in Ireland or the UK and your old mobile is working, has a battery, is of European or UK spec and is not barred – you can exchange it at Envirofone for Money. Payable by cheque or Paypal. (Or Argos Vouchers).

You can get an instant  online quote  for your old phone at the Envirofone Website  . You then just post your old phone (Freepost) to them and  after checking the condition they will  send you the agreed price.
If you have old phones that are more than 4 years old you can still send them FREE for recycling but you won’t get cash.

Another company offering to buy your old mobile phones in Ireland is  Money For Your Mobile - or Money4URMobile.  They send payments are made by cheque .
