"In 2005 more than 100 million cell phones were discarded in the United States."**
Why is this? The fact is that the trend to give you a smaller and smaller phone has
reduced the number of parts that a cell phone has. This trend coupled with the fact
that carriers are always uping the specs on the latest 'free' models leads to
peoples used cell phones lingering in junk drawers or worse yet, finding their
way to the land fills.
If your phone is new enough, and in
working condition why not consider an exchange. TeleCell will give you credit for your
existing phone against a new model.
If it's broke, you can always see if we can repair it. Most times damage is cosmetic and cases are replaceable.
Cracked screens are fixable. Bring it in and we'll take a look and let you know your options.
Love your phone, but hate your carrier? Don't let the fact that you can't get that phone
else where keep you locked in. We can unlock your phone and you can switch to a number of
other carriers. ***
If all else fails, recycle it. Telecell Wireless will take your old phones and use
them to help others. We donate working phones to local women's shelters and can use
working parts of non working phones to save other phones from polluting our world.
These parts drive down the cost of repairs and make it a more affordable. We'll take your phones, chargers and all
other phone related parts and make sure they don't go to waste! We'll also make sure that
anything that doesn't work is disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.

*** Note that you must switch to a carrier that uses the same radio that's in your phone.
