SellyourCell.com Means Business

If you are employed by a company that provides cellular phones for their employees, consider mentioning SellyourCell.com to your wireless administrator. We make extremely competitive offers for bulk quantities of used cell phones, and can submit proposals to purchase surplus on short notice.

If your company has acquired new cellular phones (or is considering it in the near future), we can make the transition much easier by purchasing your old one.

Additionally, in some cases the fact that a company's old phones have value can make the difference between being able to switch or not, as our payment can frequently offset a considerable amount of the acquisition cost.

Privacy Assured when Recycling Cellphones

Wireless Recycling is Guaranteed Safe with SellyourCell.com


Recently, an Associated Press story was published that cautioned consumers against sell their cell phones, specifically on eBay. The story was directed at owners of “smart phones” such as the Palm Treo or RIM Blackberry device, and centered on the fact that it is difficult for consumers to delete data from their smart phones so that it cannot be recovered using forensic software.

SellyourCell.com wants you, our valued customers, to know that we use procedures devised by the manufacturers of these handsets that completely secure and erase all personal data,so that it can not be recovered. We do this on every phone, every time. Your data is 100% with SellyourCell.com.

In addition, it is worthwhile to note that while regular cell phones (phones without enhanced abilities) can contain some personal data, this is usually limited to text messages and phone numbers, and that this information is not typically valuable to information thieves. Nevertheless, SellyourCell.com recommends that you erase as much data from the phone as you can by using the owner’s manual as a guide, and you can rest assured that we will do our part upon receipt of your handset.

SellyourCell.com is committed to the security of your data, and you can sell your cell phones to us knowing that we will protect your information.

How do I know my information is secure and how is it erased?

Allow us to put your minds at ease here. In order to evaluate the phones they must be sanitized, as we call it.

This is to say that the first thing our technicians do when they hook phones up to their diagnostic equipment is erase all the phone's data and reset the phone to it's original state. This is our very first step, and it is absolutely mandatory prior to evaluating the phone.

While it is worth knowing that we take this step, and in fact take your privacy very seriously, you should also know that phones (other than PDAs) very rarely contain any of the personal info that could be used to steal an identity. Fortunately people simply don't keep their social security number, drivers license number or birthday in the average cell phone. However, its nice to know that if you did, your information would be 100% secure and immediately erased. You have our word on this.

As for erasing the information yourself, most phones make it pretty easy by going through the phone's menu. Easier yet of course is to look up "erasing data" in the owners manual or on the manufacturer's website.

Except, of course, nobody ever reads the manual.

Why is it important to recycle cellphones?

Did you know that there are more than 400 million used cell phones in the hands of U.S. consumers at this moment? That is enough to create 64,000 tons of electronic waste. What does that mean for the environment?

Well, even if cell phones were biodegradeable, 64,000 tons is still an awful lot of trash. Cell phones, however, are not biodegradeable and when broken down into discrete elements they actually contain cadmium, arsenic, lead and mercury.

Landfills are created in such a way that these chemicals are not supposed to be able to leach into the soil, but even their simple presence is a threat to the environment. This is where SellyourCell.com comes in; our company provides a beneficial service to the environment by extending the lifespan of already produced items and preventing them from being disposed of improperly.

Our industry is somewhat unique in that for-profit companies like ours can grow while selling nothing to consumers, and instead, pay them to do the right thing.

The phrase "win-win situation" is certainly a bit overused these days, but we feel that it fits what we do perfectly.

So, tell your friends, neighbors, church, charity and co-workers about us. We are here to serve!

What happens to my cellphone when I submit it for recycling?

Excellent question. Sometimes I think there are more theories on this than there are on Area 51. People ask me all the time if we break the phones down for the "gold" in them, sell them off to third world countries, or are stockpiling them because "big phones are going to make a comeback". I enjoy and appreciate the speculation, and since it is fun to talk about what we do, I'd like to share a bit on this subject.

Basically, our determination of the phones' use is made by examining the type of phone and carrier; for example, Verizon phones and Sprint phones both use a technology called CDMA. This is some of the best technology available, but because it is not used widely outside of the United States just yet, we wind up mostly refurbishing and reselling these phones here in the U.S.
T-Mobile and Cingular both use the more common GSM technology and many of the newer models from these companies can be remarketed outside of the U.S., and in fact, sometimes in developing nations.

Of course, we do get some phones that are either broken or are too old, and while we don't pay for these phones it is still our responsibility to break the phones down to their discrete elements and have them recycled.

So what about the gold? Well carriers, like the ones mentioned above, would go out of business pretty quickly if they were putting valuable amounts of gold in each phone, so I'm afraid that rumor isn't true.

But what a great business this would be if it were true, huh?
