What to do with old cellphones?

[sudoer541]

Today, I was looking over my old stuff and I found my old cellphones (3 of them).
They still work perfectly, however they have no service + they are not compatible with my current provider.
What can I use them for? I want to keep them and squeeze every drop of juice from them!!!

BTW, there are all Motorola based phones(E398, E1 and E2 Rokr)!!!

Oh!! and I still have my old SIM cards on them, although it says Unregistered SIM Card... yet I cant call 611...

Pull the SIMs and sell them on eBay, or donate the an organization that gives them out to old people to use in emergency situations.

take out the innards and use them to store valuables.

I'll post the PCWorld article when I find it. :)

They can be recycled, some of the bits can be used for new phones. Take them to your recycling centre.:)

Donate them to a battered womens shelter where women with abusive husbands can use them to call 911 in an emergency.

If you have a speak n spell and a record player, you might be able to make one of these and phone home.

Shoppers Drug Mart here in BC has a bin for recycling unused cell phones, I don't know if the chain is in Ontario too, but there should be something similar there.

The place I usually get my phones from also offers recycling, they are a Telus depot.

I donate mine to a local non-profit which gives them to low-income families, assault victims and the elderly so that they'll have 9-11 access.

Battered women's shelters are always looking for cell phone donations, as are places like rape-crisis centers and the like.

Motorola used to let you print a shipping label from their site, free of charge so you can ship it to them for recycling. As far as I know they still do, but I can't say for certain.
