In this technological era, everyone wants to buy the latest mobile with several features installed in it. Be it gaming, camera, music or internet applications, you want a phone that has all the basic facilities. But, don’t flow with the thought of your new mobile, instead also utilize your old one. The following are the best things you can do with the old one.
Give it to your little brother who does’nt already own a cellphone, or someone who will thank you for it. If the phone is in good condition it would be stupid to throw it away or recycle.

1. Recycle
Recycling it is probably the best option. Instead of throwing it into the garbage you can drop it off at one of those many mobile stores that accept old phones for recycling. The website www.recyclemycellphone.org is one such organization where you can recycle your old phone and do the environment a favor.
2. Sell
Sell it in the second hand market where although you wont get the best price, but something is better than nothing. So whatever little amount you get for it, just sell it off with a little smile on your face.
3. Give it to your little brother
You always have the option of passing your old phone to your little brothers and sisters. They will certainly cherish the valuable gift.
4. Keep it for emergency
Keep it for emergency just in case your new mobile faces any problem. In such a case you can always use your old phone after getting a duplicate sim card from your mobile operator.
5. Use it for another network operator
Use it for another network operator if its offering low call rates and data plans etc if you dont intend to stop using your current operator. It happens so usually that the data plans of a particular network are good but the call rates are not and the other network offers low call rates.
6. Have some fun
Have some fun with it if you have nothing else to do. Put it on the middle of a busy road and watch people and their reaction on finding something free and then quickly run to them and say it belongs to you and watch that smile on their face turn into a disgusted look.
7. Open it up
Open it up, unscrew all of it and see what you have always wanted to, the circuit within, the speakers, the display inside.
8.Turn it into a toy
Turn it into a toy for your kid to throw around. It would delight him looking into the bright screen of your mobile and playing with it.
9. Exchange
Exchange it when you are buying a new mobile. You might also get a discount as the price of your new mobile is slashed down a bit.
10. Put it into your big safe
Put it into your big safe and lock it hard and pass it on from your generation to generation and let it become an antique.
