9-Orbitel 902 *worth £50-60*



It was hard to find any information about this one at all, I had to look under the battery to see what the model number was, even that I am not sure about as the Orbitel Logo seems to look slightly different on the example I found on the internet.

It's in great condition considering it's 12 or so years old. Battery attached and extending ariel is intact. I don't have an Orbitel Charger to see if it works.

6 - Orbitel 903 handy



In very good condition, battery and ariel intact. I do not have a charger to test the phone and therefore do not know if it works.

Bit funny that this phone is called a "handy" as it's quite large.

1- Orbitel 903 Handy


In very good condition but the ariel is missing - has battery pack on the back but I have no idea if it works as I do not have an Orbitel charger. Besides it's really old so I doubt you could use it. Has the letters GSM on the front though so I think you may be able to on some networks if you replaced the ariel.


Couldn't find any phone specifications for this one unforunately.

Old mobiles and what to do with them?

Due to one of my Ebay enthusiasms a few years ago I have 12 old mobile phones that I do not know what o do with. I'd have recycled them with one of those companies that promise to give them to the third world or donated them to charity but they are just so old that they aren't recognised!

I thought I would stick them on the internet to see if anyone is interested in them or has any ideas of what to do with them?

Do you have old mobiles that you've been hoarding in the hope that one day they will be worth something?

Were they? are they?

I have taken photos of all of the phones and where possible written descriptions of condition and found specifications.

Some of them I am not even sure what model they are so I have had to guess.

I'd be very interested in seeing if people can positively ID these models and also if you have any old retro phones yourself.

Recycle your mobile phones

There are lots of websites out there with information on what to do with old mobiles and I have put together a list.

Hope this helps you, and the environment and possibly charity!
