Really wish I had read these reviews earlier - I too have sent them a perfect phone which they promised I would recieve £105 for and I have recieved nothing! Emails saying they have sent payment and that they have recieved my complaints! But nothing! I have also tried calling the number *******375 and there is nothing no answer! I am reporting them to trading standards and watchdog! I am also going to look into small claims! This website should be shut down! Its a disgrace people can do this!

I sold my phone to these cowboys but they never sent me the money! They told me I would get £65 but after weeks of emailing and calling them I got nothing. BUT FINALLY I used a company called complaintsforyou.co.uk and they got me my money. I could not believe it when it come through. I don't know what they did but it worked. Their number is *******041.

I sent an XPeria 10 back to this place 4 weeks ago and have still received no money. I was offered £92, and as I am struggling financially I decided to downgrade my phone and try and get some money back on this one - what a mistake. I have tried calling this company - no answer, emailed a few times and had automated responses and only one genuine contact from a human (if you can call them that) stating that they were busy and things were delayed. My order status had never been updated and having read reviews on here I now realise i will never receive any money. I'm so angry that people can be so dishonest and scheming - get a proper f&^£^*" job! I'm going to contact Watchdog and Trading Standards so something can be done by this lot of crooks. Avoid at all costs even if you get offered less elsewhere - Envirofone were always good.

Nightmare...
November 11, 2014

Nightmare... they promise you an amount online, then when they receive immaculate phones, they sned you a cheque for nearly half the price. When you turn that down, they want a £10 admin fee to return it. But won't reply to emails, etc. so basically they now have my phone and I've got a cheque for half the amount advertised and can't get the phone back or any customer service. AVOID AVOID AVOID!

GUYS!
April 2, 2011

GUYS! LISTEN UP!

We really need to come together and make a group complaint, perhaps even file a class action lawsuit against them for gross breach of contract and improper conduct! We really need to make our voices heard! I am still waiting for a £200 cheque, 3 months later... It sounds like everyone has lost, even just marginally, and we deserve to recoup our money! Please e-mail me at "*******@hotmail.com" and i will be able to gauge how much support we have for a group movement to shut down these criminals. Worst con ever.

I can't believe i've just read some terrible reviews about this site. Selloldphones.co.uk have my phone which worked perfectly and ive not received a penny. Email messages go unanswered and no doubt if I do actually hear from them they will try to rip me off as they have done other. I will be getting in touch with trading standards. I'd have rather given my phone away than give it to a thieving bunch of con artists. Feel such an idiot to have been ripped off. Shame on them.

DO NOT USE THEM!
September 13, 2010

DO NOT USE THEM! They have terrible customer service and isn't bothered in the LEAST whether you are unhappy about their service. It's been over 14 days and I have STILL not received my cheque and they simply do not respond to emails or the odd occation that they do..."Regards, Admin" and NO PHONE NUMBER! Even if the price is strong - DO NOT USE THEM!

This website ask customers to send phones, and never pay them, or pay less then what they agreed.

Whenever I try to get in touch with SellOldPhone.co.uk‏, they keep on sending an automated email which makes no sence. I haven't received any money from them.

First they kept on saying it is being varified, which took few days, now they keep saying it has been varified and I should get a cheque anytime, but still I haven't received anything from them. Now they are expecting me to wait for another 14 days before then can look into my order and reissue the cheque, which I am 100% possitive they have issues any cheques for my phone anyway.

Please beaware, they do offer good prices which they are not going to pay. I have already started talking to BBC 3 counties Radio and will also take legal action if I can

I have sent back over 20 phones in one go to this site - this based on my personal experience of using them before and things going well. This batch of phones is on behalf of my company.

They received all the phones on the 9th Aug and have not paid as of yet. As you can understand my boss is not entirely happy with this. Do not use this site. Should money not be forthcoming very soon then as an academically qualified solicitor I will see personally that this is dealt with in the manner which is deserved.

Best option - send your recycling to o2 - yes the money is slightly less but you know they are going to be there tomorrow and will make sure you are sorted out with payment as negative press is not good for them considering their own competition.
