You can check the internet for online sites that will pay you an amount for each of your phones. Go to a site which recycles mobiles phones and then compare them to others, choose the best price. Read through the site's guidelines, the rules and regulations and FAQs while you are at it.

3. Put your phones on auction. If you want, you can auction your phones on Ebay. Make an E-bay account and then make an auction for your old phones, starting with the cheapest and best possible price. If you have a new phone model or a better model; then most likely people will bid a higher price. Remember to set your fixed price to the amount that was on the cash for mobile phone sites; doing either way is beneficial for you. If your phone is broke, then you can sell it as for "repairs and parts".

But remember, this is only good for the younger children. If it were teenagers, then your old phones will just be snubbed at - unless it's an iPhone, Blackberry or a really good smartphone.
You can still get money from your old mobile phones. Whenever you would want to buy a new phone, remember the old one cost you; so it's just great that you sell it or still make use of it. Don't just let your old phones rot in your drawers, take them out and trade them for cash.
