Verizon Edge Now Lets You Keep Sell or Recycle Your Old Phone

Some pretty cool news from Daily Cell Phones:

There have been some changes to Verizon's Edge program. Basically, this is a program where Verizon customers can pay for their phone over time and have it added to their monthly bill. Can't afford to pay the full price for a fancy smartphone? OK, you can add to your monthly payment for the next 2 years. One of the catches was that customers had to turn in their phone when they upgraded. It was like renting a phone more than buying one. But the new changes in the upgrade process also bring about this:

"Under the old agreement, Verizon Edge customers also had to turn in their phone if they upgraded after paying 75% of it off; on the new Edge plan, customers can keep their old phone or they have the option to recycle it for an account credit or donate it"

So, this Verizon Edge change might have an effect on the used cell phone market, as consumers will be allowed to sell their phones privately now.

Buy and Collect Discontinued and Antique Cell Phones

Many people are looking to buy old cell phones. There are many reasons for this. Some want to save money by finding a phone they like that is discontinued or never made by their preferred carrier. They may be looking for an unlocked phone that is a couple generations ( in technology terms) old.

Others collect old antique or interesting phone models just as collectors of any items do.

Yet another reason is just to save money buying used- like buying a used car. For example you can buy used cell phones at Cellular Country or Replacement Phones

Whatever the reason, with millions of wireless users, there is a market for old and used cell phones.
