    Well, you can bring it to the police, maybe they will find the owner.

    I sent my two old Nokia phones to Full Circle Wireless, and expected to receive $7 based on the information on their website. One of the phones was working perfectly fine, and I had been using it to make calls right up to the time I sent it to them -- so I should have received the full $4 for that phone. The other one had a problem with the keypad, but had a battery that was fine, plus I sent them a battery charge cable for the phones. Their website indicated they usually pay 75% of the value for a phone that won't make a call, so I expected $3 for the second phone. They sent an e-mail telling me that my refund would be $0 -- the only comment was that there were scratches on the outside cases of the phones -- which would be expected on any used phone that is several years old. I feel cheated -- it seems to me that Full Circle Wireless is a scam!

    donate or sell them or exchange it for another new phone with some extra cash or dump it on ebay or give it free with other stuff you sell. You can do so many things to get rid of your old phone.

    Donate them is a good idea. And I have two old phones and I "donate" them to my parents. Hahahaha. Thwy use it well and those two phones aren't modern complicated phones so they can operate it easily.

    SELL THEM! SELL THEM! SELL THEM!

    Or you know, donate the older and/or broken phones that aren't worth resell to get a tax cut and also recycle at the same time. Buyback programs tend to have these programs like Full Circle.

    You can reselling them. And I also met someone or some phone stores who buy second-hand phones. Maybe they have better ideas about old phones. I guess they might take down the chips and fix it to a new shield. Then sell these phones as the new one?

    Dude, you sound like an afterschool special. :P

    I actually sold my phones to a buyback nearby called Full Circle Wireless. Full Circle Wireless Since I didn't want to have to keep running back and forth to sell my phones individually and the pricing was reasonable. Plus, they shipped me a free FedEx lable. I actually kept one of my camera phones and am not attempting to convert it into a spy camera.
