Old cell phones, what to do?

[clutchdust]

I've been cleaning out some of my crap and have run across several old cell phones plus an early Palm Pilot. What should I do with these things? I've heard you can donate them to various charities but these sumbitches are old, the newest one is a Razr. Would a charity even want them? Shitcan? Suggestions?

School and or libraries. Most have donation drops. In any case at least dispose of the batteries at a recycle place before you trash them.:cheers:

How old is the old Palm....If it's a model Z22(on the upper right of the black tag on the back)I'll pay a reasonable price for it....:)

Don't throw the batteries in the trash. Think of the great great grandchildren.

The Razr was one of the best phones I ever owned, if it did more crap i'd still be using it, come to think of it maybe because it was so basic was the reason why it was so good.

I agree...The iPhone replaced my Razor........And I really hated to give it up....Excellent reception...Small and light...Resistant to droppage....If they can come up with a smartphone the size of the Razor.....I'm there....:)

Don't know where you live, a charity here in Dallas called the Arc of Texas just sent me a pick up notice that says they'll take cell phones.

Doubt it's what you're looking for. I've had this thing for about 10 years (or longer). No tag on the back with a number like that. Says 'm100' on the front though.

Who's great grand kids? Not to worry, I'll probably donate them and let somebody else deal with that crap.

Doesn't the military take old phones?

I have an old Motorola Startac in the closet. I can't imagine that it would be of much use for anything.
