old mobile phones

    My sons special needs school are recycling old mobile phones to get assistive technology to use as a teaching aid with the children. They are finding it difficult as they need to collect 165 and there are only 10 children there.

    I have managed to collect 57 for them under my own steam but am running out of people to harass ask nicely!

    Would anyone have any old mobile phones hanging around they could give to me? Don't need batteries or charges and they can have light damage such as a cracked screen.

    Details of the scheme are here:

    This could be your good deed for the day? :D

    Anyway, for anyone that does decide to help me I will need to get your name and address to fill out the slip to enter you into the draw for the 'mortgage paid for a year'.

    Thanks.

    Got them today, thank you :D

    I am up to 109 phones now.

    Would appreciate if anyone else had any to contribute to the cause :)

    I can't post elsewhere on the forum about it as it would break forum rules so I am hoping a few more see the thread and consider helping me out:)

    TIA.

    If it resembles a phone it is good for the purpose.

    Batteries and chargers not required and damaged phones accepted :)
