Fonebank will endeavour to ensure that as many phones as possible are found new owners, sometimes in places as far afield as West Africa and China. Landline communication in these areas is often unreliable; if it is present at all, and remote communities in these regions rely on mobile technology to stay in touch with friends and families.

If your old handset has been through the wars and is truly beyond repair, Fonebank promises to recycle your handset in the most ethical manner possible, ensuring we adhere to strict environmental legislation when it comes to the disposal of e-waste.
