There are lots of different questions that folks have when they first look into selling their mobile phone for cash.  This article will hopefully answer a couple of the most common questions for you. 

My phone is damaged, can I still sell it for cash? 

Most phone recycling firms will accept damaged phones, but you should be prepared that you will get a vastly decreased price.  In a number of cases if your phone isn't working you may only get 10% of the quoted price which could mean that it is not worth your time to sell it and you are better off just recycling it freely. 

How is a damaged phone defined? 

When you try to get cash for old mobiles, different firms will have different definitions of what a damaged phone actually is.  If your phone has a lot of water damage or is physically broken in two then you probably won't be able to get any money for it.  On the other hand, if you have got a phone that's in good physical condition yet will not boot up to the start screen you will still be ready to sell it for a reduced price. 

How much do i get when I sell my mobile? 

This is dependent upon lots of different factors like the type phone that you are trying to sell as well as what condition it was in.  When you sell your mobile phone for cash remember that there's a range of prices so it is often a great idea to search around for the best deals. 

Can I sell new phones? 

Most firms won't give you a larger price for a new phone making it not worth your while to sell it.  {However ,} you can find certain corporations that will give you a nicer price if you're selling a new phone that is still in perfect condition.  If this is the case though then you probably shouldn't sell it to phone recycling company but instead somewhere such as eBay. 

How long does it take? 

Again, this relies upon the company that you choose though the amount of time it usually takes for a phone to be inspected by a company and then either returned to you or accepted is roughly a week.  You need to then have the money with you soon after that.  Most companies will provide a tenet of how long they generally take to get the money to you on their website.
