There are lots of different questions that people have when they first look into selling their mobile phone for cash.  This article will hopefully answer a few of the most common questions for you. 

My phone is damaged, am I able to still sell it for cash? 

Most phone recycling firms will accept damaged phones, but you need to be prepared that you are going to get a vastly decreased price.  In some cases if your phone isn't working you'll only get 10% of the quoted price which may mean that it's not worth your time to sell it and you are better off just recycling it for nothing. 

How is a damaged phone defined? 

When you try to get money for mobiles different corporations will have different definitions of what a damaged phone actually is.  If your phone has plenty of water damage or is physically broken in 2 then you probably won't be able to get any money for it.  On the other hand, if you have a phone that is in good physical condition yet won't boot up to the start screen you will still be able to sell it for a reduced price. 

How much do I get when I sell my mobile? 

This is dependent upon a lot of different factors like the type phone that you are attempting to sell as well as what condition it was in.  When you get cash for mobile phones remember that there is a range of prices so it is typically a good idea to search around for the best deals. 

Am I able to sell new phones? 

Most firms won't give you a larger price for a new phone making it not worth your while to sell it.  However , you can find certain companies which will give you a better price if you are selling a new phone that is still in perfect condition.  If this is the case though then you most likely should not sell it to phone recycling company but instead somewhere like eBay. 

How long does it take? 

Again, this depends on the company that you select although the amount of time it usually takes for a phone to be checked by a company and then either returned to you or accepted is roughly a week.  You should then have the cash with you right after that.  Most corporations will provide a suggestion of how long they usually take to get the money to you on their site.
