It might have served you enough but today if you purchase the new cell phone then what will happen to the old used cell phone. The simplest thing is to recycle cell phone which are not in use.

Even in my case , I was using a Nokia 1100 cell phone and I purchased N73 Music edition (price $300) that time. I did not use the old phone for some time and eventually it was a dead phone lying in my drawer. Then one day I purchased a new connection and I had requirement of a new mobile phone but was short of money so eventually used my old cell phone.

But if today I have a requirement of a new phone then I will do one thing and that is trade in cell phone which will give a fair amount of price of my used cell phone and either I will receive a check for the amount and I can purchase a new one with that amount.
