Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / June 2004What to do with old phone?
I just replaced my really old single-band Ericsson, and transferred the little card to the new one. Is there anything useful to do with the old phone? That includes donation, if some good use will be made of it. Isaac Yes. Donate it to a Battered women's Shelter. it can be used to call 911 even without the SIM card. > I just replaced my really old single-band Ericsson, and transferred the > little card to the new one.

I don't honestly know what they do with them, I assumed it was better than having them incinerated. > >Yes.

If you collect enough, there's money to be made by salvaging them for the gold and other materials they contain. Of course, there's more money to be made if you can get people to *give* the stuff to you. I was hoping for something useful to do with it. The donation sounds like a good idea.

I used to be in a related business... you'd need a hell of a mountain of cell phones to get enough gold to make even hauling them in a truck worthwhile. Perhaps there's something else in there that has value. Cingulair stores also have a box for phone donations. Was able to take a tax deduction. Beth in Maryland I keep a couple of old analog phones around which work real well with a credit card in emergencies. Digital ain't everywhere and your variety may not be present at every location.
