Save With Dave: Turn Cell Phones To Cash
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ―
All these new cell phones mean you have all those old cell phones. So what do you do with that old phone? You can use it to get some cash!
As soon as you get one it's almost immediately out of date! But did you know some companies will give you cash for your old cell phone? CellForCash.com will pay is an online cell phone buy-back website.
The site purchases more than 700 different models of phones, paying you anywhere from $5 to $25 per phone. It also offers free recycling for cells that don't work anymore.
So here's what you do:
1. Log onto cellforcash.com
2. Plug in the specific model of your phone and the site will show you how much they'll pay
They send you a box and a pre-paid mailing label. You just put the phone in the box and send it to Cell for Cash with the prepaid label.
Within 30 days of getting your phone, cell for cash sends you a check, and you get rid of what would otherwise be an electronic paperweight.
So how much do you save? If you send in a newer, working phone, you can get the high-end of their payment, $25.00.
That's $25 in your pocket, which you can apply to buying a new phone.
