| The Web site
was the first of its kind when it was founded three years
ago. Now it buys thousands of phones each month from
users all over the country.
OCALA, FL (PRWEB) November 4, 2005 -- CellForCash.com,
a Web site that pays cash for old, unwanted cell phones,
has purchased more than 200,000 used cell phones since
it was founded just three years ago, the site’s parent
company announced today.
When CellForCash.com was founded in 2002, it was the first
such web site to offer cash for used cell phones. Others
have followed, but CellForCash.com remains the industry
leader by a comfortable margin, according to James Mosieur,
chief executive officer of RMS Communications Group Inc.,
CellForCash.com’s parent company.
“We conceived of the CellForCash.com idea because
we realized how many old but serviceable cell phones were
ending up in dresser drawers or inside someone’s
desk,” Mosieur said. “We felt there was a great
business opportunity in those old phones, and we were right.”
CellForCash.com pays cash for the old cell phones, pays
for their shipping, and then recycles and re-markets them
throughout the world. The company recycles more than 75,000
used cell phones every month.
The web site pays anywhere from a few dollars to well over
$100 for the used phones. Customers can go to a section
of the CellForCash.com website to see how much cash is
being offered for their particular phone.
Since its founding, CellForCash.com has purchased more
than 200,000 old cell phones.
“There are a number of benefits to the CellForCash.com
system,” Mosieur said. “For one thing, it provides
valuable cash to people who can put that money toward a
newer phone with more features, or really use the money
for any purpose. And just as important, it keeps thousands
and thousands of old cell phones out of landfills, where
they can be a significant source of pollution.”
While CellForCash.com was the first web site to be developed
by RMS, a number of others have followed. One, www.WirelessFundraiser.com,
provides cash to non-profit organizations that collect
and send in old cell phones. Another, www.RecycleForUS.com,
is an environmental initiative that helps companies, government
agencies and other groups and individuals collect and recycle
old cell phones. The newest RMS website, www.911CellPhoneBank.com,
donates about 1,000 cell phones every month to law enforcement
and other agencies for use as 911 emergency phones.
Other companies have tried to copy CellForCash.com’s
success, but it remains the industry leader by a comfortable
margin.
“We’re proud to say that CellForCash.com buys
more used cell phones than any other site, and we remain
the technology leader when it comes to the recycling and
re-use of old cell phones,” Mosieur said. “We
continue to finds new ways to re-use old cell phones, to
put 911 phones into the hands of those who need them, and
to help individuals and organizations raise money through
the recycling of old phones – all while being very
protective of the environment.”
