Don't try to pass off a damaged handset as a working one

Recycling companies test your mobile phone handset, a damaged screen or a phone that wont turn on is easy to spot and only takes a few seconds, however, some underlying issues can be much less obvious. There are some heard stories where people get paid at the premium working rate even though they have sent in a phone that has a damaged mic or speaker, however, stories such as this are the exception not the rule. Testing these faculties is becoming more and more efficient, quick and automated. Even if your phone has a discrete fault then it will most likely be noticed . If your handset is not working you are better off been honest in advance to ensure the transaction is processed quickly and effectively. Minor software/hardware faults can sometimes slip through the net but if you choose to try this approach then you will need to be prepared for the repercussions and you could well find yourself having to pay for the return of the handset if you are unable to come to some agreement over the fault when it is discovered.

Wear and tear is expected

The price you are offered has handset wear and tear factored into it and the handset is expect to have been put to substantial use. Many people use a handset for 5-6 years, some people are really heavy users and others only have their phones for use in emergencies. Worn down keys, chips, scratches and small dents are all acceptable . The best way to decide if you can put a specific piece of damage down to wear and tear or actually classed as damaged is to ask yourself if the handset is mealy damaged cosmetically or if there is any functional damage.

The charger

Lots of companies insist that you return the charger with the phone, even if this too is broke . Youll have to check with the company you go with .
