But im not a businessman, neither a casanova to have multiple working phones at a time. On top of that, I dont find having a mobile phone in Wellington seem to be that big of a deal. Mine rarely rings except when receiving calls from my landlord and bills companies. So, what should I do with the extra, old, and less useful phone?
So, last week I took a stroll along Courtenay Place and stopped by Telstraclear Ltd. outlet there. As I sat by the counter, I saw this tiny envelope
All you have to do is put your old, unwanted in this envelope and follow the instructions written on the envelope. The important key instructions are:
- Remove the battery and wrap separately in paper or plastic before putting the battery and phone in the envelope
- Keep your SIM card. They have no use of it
- Seal the envelope and drop it off at your nearest posting box or post shop. It is totally FREE!
- Do not mail them your phone charger
The phones that can be refurbished will be sold on, with a percentage of the proceeds used to provide vital care for the sick kids at Starship.
THIS ENVELOPE CAN BE ACQUIRED AT TELSTRACLEAR OUTLET WELLINGTON. (just next to Reading Cinema's main entrance)
