the only flaw in that suggestion is the fact that the price they offer depends on<br>
whether or not the phone is working/damaged etc. So for example 02 will knock<br>
5% off for minor cosmetic damage and up to 75% off the price if it is non-functional.<br>
<br>
Hence one might suggest that the recycling value is about 25 pounds (which still seems<br>
a lot to me) and there must be another way to dispose of working iphone.<br>
