~ Frequently Asked Questions
about Phoneraiser ~
What is Phoneraiser?
Phoneraiser is the best way to raise significant amounts of money for your organization while being good to the earth! Cell phone/ PDA’s and inkjet cartridges recycling helps change lives for the better in many ways!
What is considered a “qualifying” cell phone/PDA’s and a “qualifying” inkjet cartridge?
Cell phone/PDA prices are volatile and subject to change. To qualify for payment, a cell phone/PDA must power up, make a test call, have an undamaged LCD screen, and be included in our price list. The cell phone/PDA’s should not be damaged beyond normal wear. Clear off all personal information from cell phone/PDA’s. Cartridges must not be broken, i.e. cartridge case, circuitry, or print head. Refilled cartridges are considered broken. Please pack carefully. Remember, you can send all types of cell phones/PDA’s and/or inkjet cartridges to Phoneraiser. If they do not qualify, they will be disposed of properly. If a cartridge is larger than the palm of your hand, it is not an inkjet.
What does Phoneraiser do with the cell phones/PDA’s and inkjet cartridges it collects?
If a cell phone/PDA cannot be reused in another market, Phoneraiser will absorb the cost of properly recycling it in accordance with state and federal EPA guidelines. Used cell phones/PDA’s that have an economic value are refurbished and reused in markets utilizing compatible wireless technologies. Reuse reduces the depletion of our Earth’s finite resources. The proceeds from the resale of these used items enable Phoneraiser to continually expand its recycling efforts and provide less fortunate people a means of obtaining an inexpensive technology. All inkjet cartridges are recycled to be reused in the market.
What happens to information stored in the cell phones/PDA’s?
Cell phones/PDA’s that are recycled are completely dismantled, and through this process the information is destroyed. Cell phones/PDA’s that are reused in other markets are “flashed” to allow new software to be loaded. This process erases the cell phone’s/PDA’s memory and enables a new number to be assigned. However, Phoneraiser strongly recommends that donors clear the memories on their cell phones/PDA’s of any sensitive private information before donating them. If your phone has a SIM card, please remove it before you send in the phone. In addition, donors should always ensure the service on any cell phone/PDA’s they donate has been disconnected, to prevent fraudulent use. Phoneraiser will not be responsible for any information left stored in the memories of cell phones/PDA’s donated or their fraudulent use.
