“what a great deal - thankyou”
Written on: 01/11/2012 by justaguy2012
I just wanted to thank the guys and girls at onbay as it was a pleasure to use the web site and I got a good deal for a nokia I no longer need. The whole experience was easy and I am happy with the extra money I got for using one of onbays exclusive recyclers. I will recommend this to my friends and family. One thing I would say is your web site is much easier to search through than some of the others I have used and the layout looks very clean. (read more)

“Superb!! You don't need to go anywhere else”
Written on: 26/10/2012 by bunnylove2012
Super Dooper! Wanted to leave a quick review because these guys just helped me to make £323 more on a batch of handsets than I would have got If I sold them to mazuma – which I was about to do. I called them first and one of their guys actually helped me to get the best deal. They processed it for me and said that the recycler was going to send a courier to collect all 12 phones. Am totally speechless at the service, and will make sure that I use onbay again for any gadgets or phones.... (read more)

“I got £27 more by going through OnBay!”
Written on: 25/10/2012 by Jamie1982
I have been planning to recycle my old iPhone 4 for a while and found OnBay through Google. I got £27 more by going through them, including the extra £1 bonus for using one of their exclusive companies, which was great. They seem to compare loads more companies and prices than the other sites I tried, which is probably why they could offer me more money. All in all the whole process was quick and simple, i've told quite a few people about OnBay since then and I'd recommend them to anyone... (read more)

“I used onbay last week to recycle my phone”
Written on: 25/10/2012 by Michael79
I have been waiting eagerly for the iphone 5 so I could get rid of my nokia lumia as I cannot stand the windows phone. I have obviously heard a lot about mobile phone recycling so I checked out a couple of websites and settled with onbay. The whole process was great, giving me the best price at the top of the page (where else would you want it!) and some ratings information to tell me a little about the recycler I wanted to use. I found it quick and easy just like the website said I would... (read more)

“Was about to sell my phone through another comparison...”
Written on: 24/10/2012 by jaywalks
Was about to sell my phone through another comparison site, and thought I would have a look at some other sites. Found this site and got £15 more for my phone. I didn’t realise so many other traders were out there and not in other comparisons. I got an extra £15 for searching google and finding onbay! Buy and sell phones then gave me the best price. I am really surprised at the fluctuation in prices between comparisons. It is almost like you need a comparison of the comparisons –... (read more)

“just used onbay / bozowi and recommend you do too!”
Written on: 24/10/2012 by j_james_j
Just used onbay to get an extra pound on bozowi which was great. Been using bozowi to sell broken iphones that we get in at work for months now, but came across onbay last week and saw that an extra pound was being offered. This was a really good idea so i have added onbay to my favourites. I am going to let people know about the site because I have not heard anyone mention onbay anywhere before, and it’s a really useful site. Only a pound, but it’s a pound I would rather have than not... (read more)

I was looking to recycle my iphone as I was getting the new iphone 5 on contract, I tried a few recycle comparison sites and onbay managed to find me a deal for £50 more than anywhere else on the net. Site was very clear and easy to use found my phone in about 10 seconds, and had a big list of recyclers and all their prices. I managed to find the best price almost instantly, clicked through filled out the details and sent off my phone. Got money transferred into my account 3 days... (read more)

i was on my lunch hour at work and thought i would look for prices for my samsung galaxy s. an advert for onbay came up and from clicking that to selling my phone must have take no longer than a couple of minutes. the best thing was that they put the highest price right at the top of the page so i just clicked that straight away and gave my details to the recycler. i got an envelope the next day (not very good envelope so pad your phone) and by the end of the week i got my money. definitely...

“Onbay is the best comparison website I have used so far”
Written on: 08/10/2012 by marksacc
I agree with all of the reviews on here, I found onbay to be so easy to use which is a refreshing sight with all of the comparison websites on the internet. If you dig a little deeper you find that you get the best prices for the phones they list too so I am happy that I chose to stick with the easy to use website that actually gives you more than the others. I liked the crab! (read more)

Written on: 26/09/2012 by invisablewarmachine (1 review written)
I came across this website after searching for mobile phone recycling. Using OnBay I was able to find a really great deal on recycling my Phone. I found the site really easy to use, and thanks to the wide range of recyclers they compare I was able to get more money than I had been offered elsewhere. I will definitely use them again next time I upgrade my phone and would recommend them to anyone looking for a good deal. (read more)

I wanted to sell my old iPhone and I went onto OnBay. It was so easy, I was able to compare the prices of all the companies that would pay for my old phone. Within minutes, I knew exactly which company offered the best price and who would pay me the fastest. Normally it is very hard for me to make decisions, however the way the information was presented, I didn't really have to think that hard. I would definitely use them again and overall I am extremely impressed, hence why I am... (read more)

Written on: 11/09/2012 by johnhk
I do not normally write reviews but I was very happy once I had finished with Onbay. I was only looking to sell my iphone because the new one is due out and I also ended up selling my ipod as well because I do not use it much any more. It is right that you will get more money because I checked sell my mobile and they did not have prices any where near as good. (read more)

“Can't fault onbay, Showed me prices, got me the most...”
Written on: 10/09/2012 by alisonshomes
The job of a comparison site isn't all that hard really, all they need to do is show me some prices from some companies and i'll go with who I like. What I found with onbay is that they've been able to take it a step further and actually offer even more money with the same recyclers that exist on the other comparison websites. I find that the comparison sites all do the same job, but onbay stood out simply because it was nice and easy to find my old htc phone and they did get me the most... (read more)

I am so happy that I found ONbay! I kept seeing posts on facebook about the price of iphones going down if you wanted to sell one because there is a new iphone due out so I took the plunge and sold my iphone 4 that has just come out of contract.

“Another Price Comparison Site Yet Better”
Written on: 09/08/2012 by Oliver_Linetty
I have used comparison sites for energy and gas, car insurance and home insurance so I think I can say I know my way around these websites. There's a few of these mobile phone comparison sites out there now, some are good, some are not, but you can quite easily tell who's going to be good or not from the minute their front page loads. Onbay provides a clean, easy to use front page and directs you to their search bar for immediate results. There's a lot of information on their pages, but... (read more)

“We are changing phone companies and sold our old mobiles”
Written on: 30/07/2012 by skills_ww (1 review written)
We are going with a new mobile phone company to supply our staff with windows 8 phones so we are left with boxes and boxes of blackberries. We have just sent £918 of phones off to 4 different recyclers and it took me about 10 minutes. I am pleased with how this all went and also I am very happy with envirofone and ecourmobile who offered to pick up the phones for us. I would recommend any business who has leftover phones to do this through onbay as it is a better way to check the highest... (read more)

Ok...so everything went well enough for me to write a review for these guys. I actually sold 3 old samsung slide phones to 2 different companies and in the majority I am happy except there was a little bit of a mess about with one of them who said they didn't have my phone. OnBay were great though and I know they have nothing to do with any delays. I have rarely given out 5 or 10 stars for anything unless I have been left with a smile but I think 4 stars is enough for now. I would consider... (read more)

I was looking to sell my iPhone 3gs and looked at all the comparision websites to make sure i got the most amount of money. I found a few like sellmymobile,com compareandrecycle.co.uk but then found onbay. They had the same recycler that I was going to use on sellmymobile, but through onbay they offered another £1 on top! I know its only a £1 but its the principle! Why would anyone want to use the other receyling comapriosn websites when these guys give you an extra £1 ontop of the normal... (read more)

I am a skeptic at heart and I always do my research before sending anything of value over the 'net. I have used eBay for years to get rid of stuff I didn't want any more but was getting sick of them taking so much from every auction, so I moved onto bigger and better things by using a website that actually provides a direct route to get rid of my phones. I was looking for reviews of various mobile phone recyclers and OnBay turned up on most of the searches I was performing. After 3 or 4... (read more)
