Best Buy use to have a cool buy back program

I probably have about 10 phones floating around here... At one time there was a company that gave you decent money for old phones. They'd erase them and sell them as pre-paid to crappy liquor stores, etc. There's not so much of a market now that everyone is in the pre-paid game. Radio Shack used to give a buck or two for old phones and there's always EBay. I'd pull my sd card and hit phone memory reset and master reset and be done with it.

You can always donate them to a womens shelter. I did with our last two phones and got a nice deduction on our federal taxes.

Hit it with a hammer a few times and throw it in the trash.

All the information on the card is public information anyway (unless they are pictures). Just give em the phone with all the numbers on it.

Really? I don't consider people's phone numbers to be public information if they're unlisted, as most cell phones are. A lot of people even have their number blocked so it doesn't show up on caller ID.

Around here you can donate them and they are given to troops stationed over seas.
