Cash for your Old Mobile Phone

Cashmobiles — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 17:02:00 +0000

Receiving cash against your old cell phone has indeed become very popular in the previous four years since it can really fetch a good sum.

Mobile phone recycling is definitely not a novel concept but getting cash in turn is surely a popular and recent development. This was around four years back that the concept of turning in old phones for cash gained popularity online. And the last 2 years have seen more number of guides getting released online on how this works. Who would not mind getting a few pounds extra from something that once cost hundreds?

Companies like cashformobiles.info are therefore willing to meet such needs and they are making it possible for individuals to sell mobiles to them so that they can refurbish, recycle and even resell the used phones. The individual is even paid to send in their mobile phones. By selling some items from home, which are not being used, one can easily make some money.

If not exceeding two, most of us here in the UK have at least 1 old handset, which is not being used. And I can tell you precisely why it happens – it is because we do not know what exactly can be done with it. However now you know that any old phone can easily be turned in for some cash. Just do some research at an appropriate website and you will be able to see how much you can fetch for your old cell phone.

More Cell phone Recycling after Nokia advertising

Cashmobiles — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:07:05 +0000

The Nokia Ace advertising will increase the mobile phone recycling to a great extent.

Microsoft is planning to spend around £63.9 million on their new advertising campaign, which will be launched along with the new Nokia Ace. Experts feel that a new spate of mobile phone recycling will be sparked. Considering that many people begin looking out for new phones which are hot commodities, it is surely not an unfounded theory. Most of the people therefore are inclined to figure out ways for turning in their old phones. Cell phone recycling is by far the easiest way to get rid of an old cell phone and also fetch some money in exchange.

Though the marketing campaign will begin earlier, Nokia Ace is expected to be in stores around end March. The campaign will aim at reminding the buyers about the entry of the new phone. The option of windows enabled phone will be promoted by Microsoft. They will sell the Nokia at AT&T in the USA, while in the UK, it will be released little later than the US.

A 5.4% share that Microsoft holds in the market is substantially lower compared to the 46.3% that the Android platform holds. This low share is one of the reasons behind this campaign being launched at an electronics show in Las Vegas. Moreover, more people are expected to show an interest in recycling their mobile phones. Undoubtedly, a great way to make some money to buy a new phone!

How to Benefit from the Money Lying in Your Trash Bin

Getting your old mobile phones recycled can fetch you some handy cash.
It is not a good idea to throw your TV, computer, chargers, mobile phones or batteries into the trash bin. All these items fall in the category of e-waste and must be disposed off in a particular manner. Just like it is important to recycle milk, cans, juice cartons, paper, milk cartons and tins in order to protect the environment, you must get your old electronic gadgets and mobile phones to save the environment.
All types of e-waste including computers comprises of sensitive materials that can possibly cause a lot of harm to the earth. The more e-waste is created, the fewer important things we’ll have. Are you aware that copper is known to be one of the most common e-waste that can alternatively be re-used if a mobile phone is recycled properly? In fact several countries pay significant amounts of money to re-use copper available in the e-waste. For instance, Japan is one of the largest producers of electronics and due to that it is always in need of nickel and copper.
It is because of this reason and for the protection of our environment that many companies are now paying customers who turn in their old mobile phones for recycling. All you are required to do is get in touch with the right person to educate yourself about recycling process and to learn about the amount you can earn for choosing to do so. Your old mobile phone might even be resold in the marketplace, but it will be recycled properly eventually.

Donation and Mobile Phone Recycling

Cashmobiles — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:02:46 +0000

We are listening about many companies putting in efforts to entice citizens to recycle their old mobile phones.

A company in North America has recently made announcement on its new promotion about mobile phone recycling and donations. Each phone that is recycled between November 14 and November 23 will fetch a donation to the JDFR or the American Diabetes, which is essentially a charity for Juvenile Diabetes trying to create awareness on how the disease is caused and what can be done to manage it.

The American company’s move only proves that majority of companies are now becoming interested in putting efforts and ensuring that cell phones are recycled and environment is protected to a great extent. In the USA, while this charity and promotion are being run, the UK citizens too gave a great chance to give back to their own community by opting to recycle their old mobile phones. In essence, it means that each time an old phone is turned in, it will reduce chances of ending up in a dump and hence, giving an opportunity to someone who may need an old phone to use it.

Mobile phones can be of great importance to people for various reasons. Families which cannot afford the new cell phones can use the recycled and affordable ones. On the other hand, parents can contact their children in case of any need and even children can reach their parents in case of any emergency.

Recycle Your Mobile Phone and Give it a New Lease of Life

United Kingdom is a very big market for recycling; it is ingrained in our culture to make our planet as well as our country a better and cleaner place to live.

Mobile Phones and the Piers Morgan versus Heather Mills Episode

Cashmobiles — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 15:44:24 +0000

Hasn’t Piers Morgan become a big thing now in the US? He is serving on USA’s X-Factor panel and is even hosting his own talk show in the US? Heather Mills has claimed that her cell phone was hacked by one of Daily Mirror’s journalists during Piers’ term as an editor there. Consequently, Piers has been asked to return home.

I am still stunned with the horrific mobile phone hacking controversy that did the rounds sometime ago. And just when I think that things are more or less settled now, something else comes to the fore. Only God knows how this chapter between Heather and Piers will come to an end.

There is some good news too despite all these controversies – not only is mobile hacking more difficult these days due to progress on the mobile security technology front, but we have also learnt a lesson from these incidents even though we are not famous or interesting.

Mobile phones are indeed pocket-sized computers and must be treated like one, such as locking the phone, using a PIN and protecting all the information using passwords. It also makes complete sense to take benefits of mobile tracking software.

Our phones today carry a lot of our personal information and will also be used as a credit card in the times to come. Not because I want to avoid any hacking scandal but I essentially want you to protect your mobile and recycle it once you are done.

Do Mobile Phones pose Cancer Risk?

Cashmobiles — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 14:22:16 +0000

I am extremely worried and end up taking a lot of stress on the varying information available regarding cell phones and the associated cancer risks. Though I try and avoid talking about it but facts must be known. While on one end there are many studies which confirm the link between use of mobile phones and brain cancer, there are just as many reports which state that there is no such risk involved. So to be safe, one can assume that there is nothing to be scared of, but one must be careful.

While it may seem that you are a fool talking to yourself in public by using a Bluetooth earpiece, but it makes a lot of sense to use it at office or at home. And goes without saying, hands-free is definitely the thing to go when driving. Apart from this, no need of taking unnecessary stress; feel free to use your mobile phone whenever and wherever you want to.

Another interesting new study has been published which says that teens and children, who are found using mobile phones regularly do not have any high chances of brain cancer. Why it was called interesting was, whether you believe it or not, it made use of young people having brain tumours as a part of its test group.

The study involved 352 teens and children belonging to the age group of 7-19 years already detected with brain cancer, as well as a group of 646 teens and children of similar age, sex and country for the purpose of comparison. The study revealed that the use of mobiles in no way heightened the risk, though the study trends are still being monitored.

Small UK B2B in Focus for Carphone Warehouse

Cashmobiles — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 12:43:08 +0000

A recent report of Mobile Magazine online indicates that Carphone Warehouse is aggressively targeting local traders and SME customers to obtain a bigger share of the B2B market. It is now offering several types of tablets, networks, tariffs and smartphones keeping the needs of this specific market in mind.
Their new B2B scheme will supplement the tariffs offered by other operators with their own business tariffs. As per CCO, Graham Stapelton, the new tariffs are meant to plug the gaps in business offerings already in the marketplace.
During interview with Mobile Magazine, Stapelton mentioned that Carphone Warehouse perceived this new step as a significant move for the company. Carphone Warehouse currently lags far behind in grabbing a fair share of market that comprises of more than 10 million active business mobile phone users. He is of the opinion that their service proposition will set them apart and they will successfully be able to create value for their customers.
Besides offering a wide range of phones, tariffs and tablets, the Carphone Warehouse is also providing what they call the ‘Network Price Promise.’ This means that when the users sign up with them, not only will they benefit from lowest prices, but will also get a 14-day coverage guarantee which will allow them to test the service and change the network in case they find the reception to be lacking. The company will also offer its subscribers an express handset replacement service and a ‘Walk out Working’ service.
Stapelton believes that the mobile phone networks are much behind them in this initiative. Carphone views it as an excellent chance to rope in small companies and sole traders which the present B2B services are incapable of handling.

Make Your Mobile Hacker-Proof

Cashmobiles — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 16:02:44 +0000

The focus of everyone’s attention nowadays is the hacking scandal of The News of the World. As more information is being revealed, one is appalled at seeing the extent of unethical behaviour. We are merely the sideline viewers, however, this is not a spectator sport and could have happened to any of us in the given circumstances.

That is why we are re-iterating the importance of protecting your mobile. It cannot be made 100% hacker-proof but the hacker will at least have a tough time getting in.

Below are some tips:

o Lock your mobile phone with the help of password protection or key lock feature. I know it is a bit of a task to unlock it each time, but the initial worries of course can be avoided if your phone gets stolen.

o It is not advisable to share one’s mobile number on documents or forms and should be left out if possible.

o Mobile’s firmware must be kept up to date, and for regular updates, you must keep auto-feature turned on so you do not have to remember it each time.

o If your phone has mobile tracking feature, become familiar with it.

o Since scammers and thieves can also get through your messages apart from your emails, do not give out any information as text to unfamiliar people or services.

Most importantly, secure not only your mobile, but also other portable gadgets such as netbook, laptop, tablet etc. And did I forget to mention that you should never save your passwords?

What do I look for in a Service Plan for Mobile Phone?

Cashmobiles — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 12:06:37 +0000

Are you also among those who get carried away by the new mobile phone and its features and do not pay much attention to the new service plan? Well, you must become more aware and not get distracted from analyzing the fine print of the contract. It is essential to review the same before you commit to a 2-year contract or sign on the dotted line. Here are some of the important things that one must consider:

• Does one get a grace period? How long is it? It may be a good idea if the customer is provided with some time to test the services as well as the mobile and in case any alteration or addition needs to be made, he can get it done. That is where the importance of grace period comes into picture.

• What is the length of the contract – it could range from monthly to even two-year commitments. One must know what he/ she is getting into before signing the contract.

• How many minutes are included and how does one track the use of minutes between bills?

• Are any extra fees or roaming charges attached to the plan? How is international travel treated? Hundreds of pounds can get added to the bill if one is not careful.

• Will a bundle or data plan, say of email, multimedia services and web browsing which are frequently used, turn out to be more economical?

• How much, if any, are the charges and penalties related to early cancellation?

SmartPhones: Just Like Pets

Cashmobiles — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 14:07:24 +0000

A marketing professor at the Kansas State University, Dr. Esther Swilley, recently conducted a new survey which revealed a few interesting facts about our feelings towards mobile phones.

As far as our attachment towards mobiles is concerned, none of us will be too surprised to see the results. Just like the attachment we have for normal things in our lives, we are attached as much to our phones as well. For example, just like we miss our family pet, we feel exactly the same when we miss our mobile.

One amazing thing is that though mobile phones are such an integral part in our lives, they still are not considered as a means of self-expression.

Students were used as a source of information while the study was being conducted at the Kansas University. Dr. Swilley observed the student body and noticed how their interaction with mobiles was while also questioning the relationship they shared with their devices. The responses were different when the student was asked whether they perceived their mobile as just a mobile or as a SmartPhone.

Another interesting observation that was revealed by Dr. Swilley was that students’ adoration levels with their mobile were more to do with entertainment than with communication. Just the way a phone can be used for movies, gaming and other means of entertainment and is a matter of joy and pride, it is similar to having a new lovable pet.

Swilley also mentioned that people are constantly hooked on to the mobiles, do not turn them off and even like to show off all its neat things.

The UK’s Near Field Communication and the Big Four

Cashmobiles — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 15:34:28 +0000

If you have not heard of NFC already, you are missing in action from the mobile world. Most of the big names are working on schemes that will allow users of SmartPhone to pay for services and products using their mobile phones. In the UK, an announcement has been made that the biggest four mobile service providers, namely Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile and O2, are cooperating in order to create an open platform for NFC, the abbreviation for near field communication.

What it translates for us in simple language is that in the times to come, NFC is sure to become common place and will enable us to pay for plenty of things including even train tickets and groceries. Debit cards, credit cards and even some loyalty cards can be accessed with a single click. NFC enabled accounts can be accessed by the users to pay online for goods and services.

It has also been anticipated that such a joint venture will lead to an increase of offers which are location-specific. Using the mobile phone’s location-tracking abilities, the various shops and restaurants will provide coupons apart from any savings that are applicable to that place locally.

When questioned about the new JV, Vodafone UK’s CEO, Guy Laurence commented that until now, people were taking their wallet, keys and mobile with them before leaving home, however very soon, they will start leaving behind their wallet.

Most likely, the NFC services will be launched towards 2011-end.
