How To Get Your Friends And Family To Recycle Their Mobile Phones

November 26th, 2010

Despite the fact that 1.2 billion people all over the world use mobile phones with 14 million in the UK alone, not many know about mobile phone recycling. Most people think recycling is exclusively for paper, cans, and plastic cups and plates. This is where you come in. You can be the agent of change and you can be the one to start this recycling campaign among your friends and family. Your efforts may be very small from a global perspective yet you should be able to say that you are doing your part to help the environment, the unfortunate, and most of all, your family and friends themselves.

One thing you can do is to write and publish articles about mobile phone recycling. You can publish them online on your personal homepage, an ezine or any of the social networking or forum sites that you are affiliated with. Articles and blogs are two of the best sources of opinion about mobile phone recycling as they are subjective and reflect a more personal view of the topic. You may also publish your articles in the local daily paper or on flyers. Just make sure to get permission beforehand when placing flyers in public places and other people’s property.

Another thing you can do is to offer to take your family and friends to facilities that buy and recycle used mobile phones. Or even persuade your family members to ‘part exchange’ there phone against a new one as retailers now offer this service to try and get more phones recycled.

One last thing you could consider doing is to collect the old mobile phones yourself and take them to the nearest phone recycling facility, but don’t forget to give your friends and family their share of the payment.

Open Your car With The Phone

Well no, not exactly but instead of using fax to email you can actually open your car by using your mobile phone.

iPhone

The iPhone is already used for a number of different things and this new thing could be the best yet. However a car rental company has already implemented the iPhone into their business.  When you rent a car from this London car rental company you have the option to use your own personal iPhone as the keys. You basically do not need keys at all and it works in a very similar way to unlocking the car with a key fob as the senor is on the inside of the car. You will be okay though as it is only your phone that can actually be used for this which is alwasy a good sign.

Normal Cars

If you have lost the keys but have a mobile phone then you can actually unlock the car by using the phone. You will certainly need someone to be on the inside of your home with the other key fob, make sure you have the phone at the ready. Then all you have to do is put the mobile phome right up against the sensor. Of course this is all well and good but how on earth are you going to start i up!

You will need to place the phone right next to the sensor for this to work so make sure you know where that is.

So there is just one other use to the mobile phone can use.

If you have a business then consider using 0800 numbers and premium rate phone numbers as they could end up saving you a lot of money when it comes to running your company.
