Do not sell your old mobile to Cash 4 Phones
 
Do not sell your old mobile to Cash 4 Phones

Your handset maybe in pristine condition as you have cared for it from new but if you use this company they will offer a good price up front but upon receipt of the handset they will drop the offer by almost 2 thirds stating cosmetic damage and if you do not pay to get it back they will just pay you the lower offer.

I tried them and basically got conned but now have my handset back and will be going with Envirfone instead who will return the handset for free if you dislike their offer after receipt.

It was my own fault but it seemed a good deal at first so just a heads up to you all.

I should have just used them or Envirfone but you learn, it owes me nothing so whatever I get from them will be a bonus, I just dislike conmen.

people are to trusting. You are always better off taking your gold to a jeweller same as really you are always better off selling your mobile on privately

That's the way to go ,i bought a unlocked blackberry for son for 50 quid of gum tree and there are any amount of jewelers in the high street willing to buy gold at better rates

Sold my Galaxy S 2 using Asda Tech Trade-in, I got £167 for it, (the best price I found) and the money was deposited into my bank account within 2 days of them receiving it.

I advise anyone that's thinking of using any trade-in service to send their valuable items using special delivery.

l would rather give the phone to a family member rather then sell to these dodgy firms.

Most of these firms are genuinely customer focused unlike this company, I have sold phones before but not come across one such as this that should have a stetson on their website, cowboys through and through.
