Envirofone's marketing push

Was at the gym this morning killing my knees on the running machine. I looked up at the TV monitors on the walls for a few moments — a brief respite from the pain allowed this — and I saw Envirofone advertising on one of the music channels.

Interesting.

Mobile recycling has got that big that it can be supported by television advertising (albeit during the day on the music stations — this isn’t quite prime time ITV, yet).

I’ve used Envirofone and had excellent, pleasing results. They send you out an envelope. You put your phone(s) in and send it back to them, freepost. They have a look and check your phones are working then, a few days (or weeks if they’re busy) later, you get a credit. Cash or Argos vouchers.

I had a look on their site today. Browsed about. I was surprised to see they’re only offering 40 quid for the HTC Advantage. That was an expensive device when it came out.

94p for a Nokia 1100.

Fair enough.

94 quid for my Nokia E90. 55 quid for your E61i.

The newly released Nokia N82 will fetch you 145 pounds. The N95 8GB will fetch 140.

If you’ve got a load of old handsets hanging around, get yourself an Envirofone account and recycle them for a bit of cash.
