Hi everybody...:)
i wanna share you a topic about mobile phones..
Now-a-days, usage of mobile phones is dramatically increasing and each individual is having 2 or more than 2 mobile phones, either it may be working or nor working.
I dont know where it leads.


How can we control this and what can we do if we have an old and damaged mobile phone and how to protect our environment from this.


Your suggestions are appreciated...

Why do we need to control how many phones we have, when you are done with a phone either sell it on to someone or get is recycled, simples

What do you think we should do, Renald?

I think there is more to worry about with the environment than having more than 1 mobile phone.

Instead of putting all unused and damaged mobiles under the draws, am thinking that mobile phone recycling will help our environment..

renald, what do you think all these envirophome and mazuma mobile ads are for.
mobile phone recyling had been commonplace for years.

on a side note where is "under the draws"?

Why is it necessary for people to continually replace their phones? I'm still using the mobile phone I bought four years ago. I've had to replace the battery but it still works fine. Ok it's perhaps not as shiney as your new one but it serves its purpose which is to enable me to contact friends and relatives and have a conversation. I can't understand why many people have become so obsessed with having the lastest all-singing, all-dancing gizmo. It's only a phone for goodness sake!

I think they are pure evil and should be banned. It is just a mind control scheme by 'THEM'!!!! :eek:

THEY are using them to eavesdrop on your thoughts, beware the Illuminate, they know what you are thinking. The CIA have taken Project Echelon to a whole new level, funded by the Bilderberg Group. They can see into your mind!!

Ban them NOW.

Technology thats why. My mobile from 4 years ago couldn't make tea, but it can now. In another 2 years I will be not needing my wife :cool:

but some of them dont know why people change mobile phones. We change only when we have more phones or when they are damaged....

OK, Renald.

You're doing a fair old bit of fishing for info here. Are you thinking of setting up some sort of used mobile phone business, perchance?

Not al all bud, I dropped it just last night and I have never lost a phone in my life.
If I did break or lose it then I would have to revert to my laptop fot the backup of everything.

The price depends on the condition of your mobile.

My wife and I each have one cell phone at senior citizen price. We turn them ON only when we want to use them. Can't get much cheaper than that.
