In the very real current economic climate we can all benefit from a little extra money and receiving cash for mobile phones is a great way of dong that.

Before choosing a company to use I strongly suggest shopping around as the the money offered may vary quite considerably with some companies even offering vouchers instead of cash. A couple of things that you must do before you let your old phone go are:
1) Ensure that any contracts connected to the phone have been terminated correctly.
2) Ensure your phone is completely clear of any remaining information and contacts.
3) Destroy any old Sim cards to prevent fraud.
