Many of us have outdated cell phones lying around in drawers and cluttering up shelves in our offices, but never get around to properly recycling them like we should. T-Mobile is hoping that by helping with that problem, and giving you a few bucks in the process, that you'll join the ranks of the T-Mobile faithful — before the company gets swallowed up by AT&T.
With a new incentive program, T-Mobile will give you credit for your old phone which can then be used towards a brand new device from the carrier's lineup. The company will shell out as much as $300 for your handset, but most phones ring up at significantly less than that. Of course, any funds you receive can only be used towards a new T-Mobile handset, so don't go planning a night on the town with your newfound dough. The carrier launched a website to help interested customers figure out how much of a bonus they can expect if they decide to take the leap.
After browsing through many of the devices on the list — which doesn't discriminate by carrier or brand — it's apparent that unless you're willing to trade in a newer-model smartphone, you shouldn't expect much for your device. But fret not, the program is being run with help from The Wireless Source, a green-minded phone refurbishing group that safely recycles models no longer fit for service. So either way, you can clean the relics out of your handset collection, and maybe even score a few bucks towards a new phone while you're at it.
