An end of an era: Vodafone UK turns off 3G services

I thought it was worthwhile highlighting this...

Are you depreciating? You need NextWorth!

Can you hear that gentle whine in the background? That’s the sound of your mobile handset collection depreciating.

NextWorth can help. They’ve launched a service for North America that will recycle your aging handsets and give you a wad of cash in return (in the form of Amazon vouchers – other leading retailers are supported).

Over in Europe, the recycling marketing has grown rather quickly. There are quite a lot of providers offering services and there’s a lot of market-fronts (for example a lot of charities have started encouraging people to donate their used handsets). I remember when it was just emerging — I was staggered someone would pay me a decent amount of cash for my old rusting devices.

If you’re a lucky owner of the Nokia N95 8GB you can drop that over to NextWorth (free postage) and you’ll get $88 back.

Keep NextWorth in mind if you’re in the States and you’re planning a handset clear-out.

  1. No! You don’t not need to keep NextWorth in mind! They are scammers and will rip you off left and right. Just do a search on reviews for them and you’ll be flooded by all the negative reviews. Type NextWorth in Google and “NextWorth scam” is one of the suggestions they give you. Tells you all you need to know.

    These places that will give you store credit in exchange for your used items, you’re completely at their mercy when you mail stuff into them. They can and they will lie to rip you off and line their pockets. They told me one of my items was broken and wouldn’t give me any money for it. They wouldn’t even return it to me.

    People who have gotten their electronics returned to them by NextWorth say they’re in worse condition than when they sent them in and are often missing parts. Or worse, they’re not even the same thing that was sent in. You’ve been warned about NextWorth.
