My girlfriend and I used this site to recycle old phones we found whilst emptying out drawers for a move. Simple to use, just search for your phone and then it lists the best recyclers. If you scroll past the recommended recyclers, you'll see other options. Couldn't be easier!

Came across this website after searching for mobile phone recycling and then seeing an ad pop up for this. I don't normally click the ads but I thought it sound good so I went on to it and did a search for my galaxly s2 and got really excited when I saw how much it was worth. I had already been on places like mazuma and envirofone and their prices where alot less. I didn't send my phone to the company that had the highest price beause they didnt have 5 star but I sold to a place called mobile phone exchange and I was very happy when I got my money.

Used this comparison to find a really good deal when I sold my mobile. Better than going direct because I could see who offered the most without having to waste time searching myself or repeatedly filling in my details. I've now recieved my money and got the amount seen on compare and recycle and have not had any problems. It's a good idea to use a comparison as it really helps to find you the best price without wasting time.

Just sold my phone using this comparison website and got more money then I would of done if I o had gone to the one I'd seen on tv. I sold my old HTC and my girlfriends iPhone 4 as we both got upgrades last week. I actually sold the phones to two different places as one company offerere then the other. Really can't complain it was a good service.

I found this comparison website after I saw an advert on tv for selling mobiles phones. I'd not recycled a mobile phone before but I thought I would check it our and see how much I could get. I couldn't remember the name of the place in the advert so I just Googled for selling mobile and this place came up. I thought it would be a better idea to do a comparison too. I could basically get up to £200 for my iPhone and I saw the company that advertised on tv in the comparison too, good thing was they didn't actually offer the most so I got an extra £20. I recommened coming here rather than going to the ones on tv first because they don't offer the most. I'm definitly coming back here when my next contract runs out

In a nut shell: Clear, to the point, simple to use, very fast, AND most of all confidence in the recycler I sold to. I'd been questioning myself if I really want to sell my mobile as I was really attached to it. Being my life support for the past 18 months, I really didn't know if I could part with it since I had upgraded to the latest apple 4s. Just out of curiosity I thought I would find out about mobile phone recycling (not actually intending to sell my phone) I look around on loads of the TV advertised recycling place and I couldn't believe how much effort it was! It was really putting me off. I went on compare and recycle not really knowing it was a comparison site and I ended up selling it right there and then. The site was really easy and clear to use. It found me loads of recycling companies that paid really high amounts. And it had a star rating system which made me feel confident with my choice of company.

Read about this site in Webuser magazine and decided to give them a
go based on the high rating they received. Was very happy overall, I
had 3 phones which I've gathered over the past decade but never
bothered to sell on and got over £100 for them all together.
Admittedly the older handsets weren't worth much and most of the
value was for my BlackBerry but I didn't expect to get much for such
old handsets anyway.
Found the site easy to use and although the recommended recyclers
didn't quite offer the top price I chose Mobile Phone Xchange and
was very happy with the service provided. I'll definitely use
compare and recycle in the future whenever I upgrade my handset
(which for an oldie like me isn't too often!)

Found compareandrecycle.co.uk on google and used them to sell an old
phone. Quite liked the reviews forum since it let me know a couple
of companies to avoid. When I searched for selling my phone on
google there were so many companies that I didn't know which one to
go for so compare and recycle definitely helped point me in the
right direction.
The site was easy enough to use and the recycler i used
(cash4phones) provided a pretty good service so I'm quite happy with
the whole thing really. I didn't know there were people who would
recycle old cameras and laptops and stuff too so the site helped me
to find that out.

I found compareandrecyle purely by accident and posted that I had not been contacted by a company in regard to the mobile phones I was selling via them.
My cause and that of others was taken up by Andy and what a fantastic job he has done. He has maintained contact with them and persevered until payments have been made.
He has not judged and believes they have just been overwhelmed by the amount of phones sent to them.
I will use compareandrecycle again and certainly recommend it to others without question.

Found these guys while I was looking for Sky Phones recycler reviews. These people went out of their way to be helpful. Ended up getting the full amount advertised for my Nokia XpressMusic 5800. Brilliant

I got a new phone for Christmas and was going to sell my old Nokia
N85 on eBay but stumbled across Compare and Recycle while I was
trying to find a rough value to sell the Nokia for. When I saw I
could get just under £80 and not have to mess about using eBay I
decided to just sell to one of the sites listed on Compare and
Recycle.
All in all I'm pretty happy with the service provided, it literally
took me second to find a price and after sending off my phone to one
of the companies recommended by Compare and Recycle it only took a
few days for the whole process to be over and for the money to be in
my account. I told my mum about the site and she's now posted off
her old brick so hopefully that will all go smoothly too.

I am so glad I used this site to find a company to send my working nokia to. They have a brilliant feedback policy which I have had to use as the company I used have lost my phone ('sell old phone' please don't use them). I contacted Compare and Recycle to inform them of my experience and they replied within the hour. They have a forum (which is a little complicated at present) where users can post reviews and Compare and Recycle inform the merchants of any negative feeback. I had a reply from sell old phone the same afternoon -I had been trying all week to get a response from them! I am sure I will never see my money but I feel Compare and Recycle have really helped and will take my review onboard when reviewing the star ratings. Thank you Andy at Compare and Recycle!

I wanted to sell my phone but the number of different companies advertised on TV left me pretty confused as to who would give me the best price and service. Compare and Recycle had an easy to use site which allowed me to easily see which price was the best and which companies I could place my trust in.
It took literally seconds to find my phone and what it was worth, it would have taken me an hour or more to find my phone on the 20+ sites individually. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this site to a friend, family member or even a complete stranger!

I used this mobile phone recycling comparison site to see which mobile phone recycler would give me the best deal for my broken Nokia N95. They seem to give much more detailed info than any other comparison site and it was nice and easy to use. Deffo recommend it to anyone else, it saved me a lot of time, and earned me more money! for something I was just going to throw out!

I found this review very helpful because I needed to find a good recycling company to sell my old phones to and I have found it very confusing. Everybody gives a different rating and I'm sure that some reviews are bogus. PRB look like a really good company and they are well recommended by Compare and Recycle
