Loads of companies over here will give you money for your old phone which are sent abroad to developing countries. I got £67 for my old phone when I upgraded and sent mine to mobile xchange and I feel good knwoing I've done my bit for the enviroment :-) It’s odd there isn’t a big mobile phone buyback scheme outside the UK.

I've since changed to "absoluterecycling.org". They've been pretty good to me.. Paid me quickly for the "better" phones collected, and even paid me a little money for the old clunker "out dated" phones too. They sent me material to help promote too. So, not bad at all.

These events are usually held from 10-4 on a Saturday or Sunday. The phones are used to help support the center's computer and electronic recycling initiatives. Even though you may see the center's events somewhere else, the center's own schedule is the one to follow, as any changes and additions show up there first, giving you more time to plan ahead. Yes, I volunteer for the center. New York City residents can also take their cellular phones to computer and electronic recycling drives held by the Lower East Side Ecology Center.

If you break the new one, pop the sim card back into the old one. Or, be proactive. If you are going somewhere to engage in an activity that increases the risk of you damaging your old phone, pop the sim into the old one and take that instead. Keep your old phone as a backup.

If they can get a signal, you can dial 911. If you give someone a car charger and a cell phone, you could give someone the ability to dial 911 in emergency situations.
