I’m not sure how many people were involved, but I’d like to say thank you to everyone who picked up on my post regarding FoneBank. After I put my referral code online, some kind folk picked up on it and used it. So today I’ve received four cheques from the company, totalling £18. So a great big thanks to everyone who used it! Of course, the code is still available for use and FoneBank is still there if you do want to sell your phone.
Oh, and for those who missed it, my code is RFPt2G.
Cheers!! 
(P.S. I got the referral code with the cheque I received for my phone. So you should get a code of your own once your first cheque arrives.)
Lovely surprise when I got home today. My cheque had arrived from the sale of my old N95 to Fonebank. Splendid! If you take a look and like what you see, enter the code RFPt2G when asked and I’ll get £3 too. Obviously you don’t have to, but it’d be lovely if you did!!
Rather surprisingly I also got a cheque from Google for ads I’d displayed on previous websites which no longer exist. Wow, it’s taken them a long time to get anything to me – the site in question closed down about a year ago! They’re certainly not swift!
I’ve placed the order for my new iPhone. The contract on my Nokia N95 doesn’t run out until the end of March 2009, but I guess it’s because I’ve been with O2 so long that they’re letting me upgrade from the 1st of January. So my phone should be with me next weekend. I can’t wait! I’m such a geek!
I’ve also got rid of my N95 for a very reasonable price. I’ve sold it to a website called Fonebank who then do God-knows what with the things. Unfortunately I had to give a minimum of 10% of the price to Oxfam, but I guess it is Christmas, so that’s ok. Basically, once my iPhone arrives, I pop my old phone in a padded envelope and send it to them. They check it still works then send me a cheque for the value, minus the 10% I’ve given to charity. So that’s £85.50 I’ll be getting for a phone I’d otherwise be throwing away. Fantastic!
