Mazuma Mobile

A part of the Ventura Telecom Group, Mazuma (mazumamobile.com) recycles and reuses approximately 150,000 unwanted or rejected mobile phones a month. Mazuma offers consumers cash for phones that are in working order and also recycles broken and unusable phones free of charge.

Using Mazuma’s services you can find out how much you are likely to get for your old phones and send them to Mazuma free of postage costs. The phones will then be checked and tested, the price confirmed by email and the cash sent out to you using the method you select.

Mazuma has an extensive model list of phones that they accept, ranging from the most recent phones, such as the iPhone 3GS, to older more out of date models. Payment is generally made within 48 hours of the company receiving the phone. They also provide a free data deletion tool that provides step-by-step instructions on how to delete all the personal information from your phone before sending it off to them. Many of the phones sent to Mazuma are sold on to the developing world for reuse, providing mobile technology to those who wouldn’t normally be able to afford the latest models.

With approximately 50 million unused and unwanted mobile phones existing across households in the UK, all losing value on a daily basis, there is a potential nationwide loss to the UK economy of £3 billion per year. Mazuma offers consumers a way to reclaim this value from their old mobile phones and protect the environment by doing so.
