New Life for Your Old Phone

May 19, 2009 · Posted in Technology

I know several people, myself included, who are patiently (or not so patiently in my case) awaiting the arrival of the Palm Pre. But what do you do with your old cell phone when you acquire a new one? I have some suggestions

If you’re looking to make some money try Gazelle, Greenphone or Envirofone for those in the UK.

If you’d like to donate your phone:

Hope Phones – donate your phone to a medical clinic in a developing country (found on Beth’s Blog)
Cell Phones for soldiers – help the troops call home
Recycle for Breast Cancer
National Coalition Against Domestic Violence
Phones for Life – donated to senior citizens so they can call 911 in case of an accident or emergency
