Anyone used O2 Recycle?

[Anonymous]

Hello, was wondering if anyone has used O2 recyle as want to recyle my old iphone 5 an they seem to have the best price (£196) but was wondering if i go in the store would i need to bring anything besides the phone such as proof of purchase or Charger or anything like that or just the phone with everything erased as i cant seem to find out on there site? Also do they usually give the price which is quoted on there website? Used Carphonewarehouse trade in last time an they gave the price they quoted without any problems an only wanted the phone but there price seems to be £40 less this time. Thanks in advanced.

Hi

Some have reported it's ok but a bit light on the offers.

Faqs http://www.o2recycle.co.uk/faqs.aspx

Take note of de activating the Activation Lock.

Do I need to send any accessories too?
Mobile phones: Send the phone and battery. We don’t need the charger, manual or anything else.

Any accessories sent will not be returned



Perhaps look at CEX

ah okay thanks for that will probably go into both stores an see how much they offer then

To sell to CEX you need some I.d to become a member. Takes minutes and it's free. They will book the iPhone in for approx 40 mins to check it over etc and then offer you a price in connection to its quality.

They are online so you can check what they would offer.

Apple also have a trade in programme but don't give cash. The offer for the iPhone then can be offset against products in store.

ah thanks did see that with apple but seem to give a lot less than anywhere else (110) will have a look around a few shops in town an see which offers the best price

I sold my iPhone 5 to CEX and received £249.00.

Unlocked and 16gb capacity.

Gumtree is an alternative or friends/colleagues.
