When you hit 70* you don't get a choice, although the good news is it's free (or was last year).






* I look 90 in the photo :erm:

I put a collection in with Royal Mail on Tuesday but nobody turned up so I rescheduled it for yesterday Wednesday which did get picked up. The device is currently on route to its destination.

Really not worth the amount of time and effort you put into it and possible cost of postage.

For £6? (!!)

To go through all the hassle to sell something that is cracked / broken. Expecting £50 or more and then think 'it's normal' to sell in that condition.

Best case scenario is to keep it as a back up phone if ever needed, cut your (tiny) loses and just get another.

This was his original backup phone and I think he's upgraded his backup phone to a Google Pixel 6 Pro, his main phone is a Google Pixel 9 XL Pro.

My old phones get put to one side and never get used or see the light of day again.

Yes SnoopZ.

There was no best case scenario the device was annoying me. OnePlus updates are wishful thinking. I have a Google pixel 6 pro as a secondary device now. The only negative is that the 6 pro only has one physical SIM slot. No bother. My secondary SIM doesn't have data so it needs taking out if I ever need to put in my primary SIM. Disabling mobile data on individual sims doesn't always work. I've lost a load of credit before.

How often do you use your back up phone and and the reasons you had to use it?

Everyday. I listen to a load of podcasts on it, having YouTube lives on in the background is perfect, no ads too ;) I don't have socials on my main but I do have anonymous WhatsApp/Telegram accounts on the secondary device. On those apps I have people in different countries that do shopping for me. I'm not paying £140 odd for some Nikes when I can get them for a fraction of that price elsewhere. I browser sites like this site on the device other examples 4pda, XDA, platinmods. Some black market research ;) incoming phone calls

The secondary device is basically everything I don't want my primary SIM associated with.

Hopefully you burnt alot of calories with the hassle of selling this crappy phone for £6 to help with your get fit plan, you may have spent money on postage already so less than than £6, just wait until they reject it because you never sold it with a cable or charger.
