  • Old 3G phone - what to do?

    My first flip phone flat wore out a couple years ago. The soft keys just kinda fell apart. I saved the battery, and the old charger is in a box somewhere. My second flip phone has served me well, no troubles at all - but my provider was ditching 3G at the end of this month, so I broke down and bought a new 4G flip phone last week. It's heavier and bigger, and does more stuff than I need - it even rings louder. But now I have a 3G phone with battery, wall charger AND car charger. What to do with it? The alarm clock still works in it, so I turned it off. I hate to toss it. Folks used to sell their old phones which would get shipped to users overseas. Is that still possible? I don't see those signs tacked to light poles anymore offering cash for old phones. Ideas?

    Just thought I'd throw this out there, my Mom had a flip phone and if you're with Verizon they will actually give you one with an upgrade fee of $35.

        Yep, we got two of 'em. It's actually more like $48 here because you gotta pay sales tax on the "free" phone.
