There is often a sense of helplessness when we open the drawer to see an old phone staring back at us. We know that it is electronic waste that shouldn’t be thrown into the dustbin, so it lies there in the dark for years. Now the time has come for it to see the light of day! Here are a few good ways to give a new life to your old phone.

Storage Unit

Making storage space on your old phone is a wonderful additional use for it. You can utilize your old phone as a portable drive by simply transferring your images, videos, files, or other data to it.

Navigational Aid

Use an outdated phone as a navigational aid rather than draining the battery of your phone. Use  Google Maps or Apple Maps on your old phone while driving by simply mounting it on a phone holder in your car or bicycle.

Car Camera

You can use an outdated phone as a dash camera if it still has a functional camera. You may do this by installing your old phone on a phone holder in your car and downloading any dash camera app from the Play Store or App Store. It will come in handy in any uncertain situation where you might need video recording.

Recycle

There are websites like Cashify. in, Recycledevice.com, or Namoewaste.com where you can dispose of your old phones if they are not at all functional. All of these websites provide door-to-door e-waste collection services across India so that your outdated phone may be delivered to recycling facilities where some parts can be retrieved for reuse or ecologically disposed of.

Sell or donate

Instead of keeping your old phone for years if you know someone who needs one, donate it to them. You can also sell your old phone on the internet or in offline markets  To get money and purchase a brand-new device.
