Hello again everyone and a happy new year! Firstly my apologies for not blogging on mobile phone recycling recently we have been working hard on a lot of new and interesting things since the new year which will become apparent to you all in the very near future. So keep visiting the mopay site for details.
on another note, I have heard rumblings that the new iPad 2, due for launch on the 25th March may be delayed well into April in the UK, and in fact the Czech and Japanese releases have already been put back until the 25th April. I for one hope these rumours are un true as the new iPad 2 with is dual forward facing camera seems set to be the must have gadget this year and cannot wait to get my hands on one. So if you are thinking of upgrading to a new iPad 2 why not sell old iPad to mopay and earn a little cash towards the new one.
Until next time people keep recycling
Mr. Mopay
iPad 2 be late or not too be late, that is the question?
1 in 10 people to use mobile phone to contact Santa for presents this year!
Hello again everyone,
I hope you are all well and enjoying the recent cold snap. recent research has found that 1 in 10 people will use their mobile phone to purchase Christmas presents this year. Of the 4000 people asked by Tesco direct 78% said they would be buying online and of these 70% said that a mobile is the best way to get their internet shopping.
This is a trend I can relate to as Mrs. Mopay recently wanted to get tickets for the Take That concert and it turned out that a mobile phone was the most effective way to get the tickets as her attempts online via a laptop proved un fruitful.
So remember people, mobile phone internet browsing is not just for Christmas... (Sorry bad joke).
If you are thinking of upgrading to a smart phone this Christmas please do recycle the old unit it is replacing with mopay and think I will sell my mobile this Christmas.
Until next time people keep recycling!
iPad or Tab, Samsung take on Apple
Hello again everyone,
In addition to mobile phone recycling and MP3s mopay also has the ability to recycle netbooks and tablets. It works in just the same way as the mobile recycling so it is the same great process that people have come to know.
Well then tablet PCs.... Apple has arguable the most desirable option with iPad but Samsung now has the 7 inch Galaxy Tab on the Android platform. Although smaller in size the Tab can compete with the iPad on many levels for one, Price. The Apple can be purchased for £429 for the 16GB Wi-Fi only model, rising to £699 for the full-whack 64GB Wi-Fi + 3G model where as the Tab is priced around the £300 mark.
In addition the Samsung has features which the iPad does not like a camera for example.
So in conclusion Mr. mopay believes that the Samsung wins the battle in terms of price and spec, but the iPads overwhelming desirability factor will still see it victorious.
Until next time people keep recycling.
Facebook poke at mobile phone market!
Hello again everyone,
It has been heavily rumoured that Facebook are building a mobile phone, well more likely they are building the software and the unit will be built by an exsisting maufacturer as with the current nexus one with Gooogle and HTC. I can see why they are trying to tap into the mobile market as many users now use mobile phones as much laptops and PCs to get on to Facebook and any deal that will allow better or even exclusive facebook access will surely give them a great start into the mobile phone market.
This news is so secret that some facebook employees do not know about these plans but I will do my best to get the news to you.Stay tuned in for any further news and remember keep selling those old mobiles for cash with mopay!
Mr. mopay
Unlimited mobile phone internet- well within reason!!!
Hello again,
Sorry it has been a while since my last post but I have been extremely busy recently as you can imagine the life as mascot mopay is never a quite one. Today I would like to discuss unlimited internet usage and downloads on mobile phones.
It used to be the case that it was exactly that unlimited, but now the have fair usage clauses and it got me to thinking why? I have in the past expressed views on the potential for mobile Skype taking connections away from networks and they brought the fair usage to protect themselves for the future, but this may not be the case upon reflection!
However in a recent conversation it became apparent that it was the sheer cost of unlimited internet to the networks, and thus the restriction was brought in. In addition he added that it was Microsoft operating systems that were constantly porting for updates, a little like your home computer would and this constant porting used the internet.
This raised another issue and the reason for this blog, please please be careful should you visit another country with your Smartphone if it is on Microsoft O/S and you have a restriction on your internet usage and are charged above as you could find the cost of your holiday going up dramatically.

Carrying the Torch for Blackberry!
Hello again everyone,
How is it August already? this year has gone so fast! And it seems that every 2 weeks a manufacturer releases a new phone and keeping up is getting harder and harder.
The latest of which is the Blackberry 9800 torch, This is so called named after the company that (RIM) Reasearch in Motion purchased recently. This is Blackberry's first slider phone and features a full qwerty keyboard sliding from behind a touchcreen interface on the main body of the phone.
The best of the curve/bold and storm?
Lets hope so as we love the curve and bold here at mopay and to a certain extent the storm but found the touch screen a little tricky as it moved into the phone slightly in operation which was a strange sensation when you are used to the iphone like screens found on most other touchscreen phones.
Hopefully this will again put Blackberry at the forefront of the mobile phone industry as we are huge fans.
So if you are thinking of getting one of these new units when they become available please remember to recycle your old mobile phone with mopay, you may just earn a few quid!
Until next time people keep recycling!
A Real Bad Apple???
Hello again everyone,
Firstly sorry for the little delay since my last blog on mobile phone recycling I have been up to my antenna in it! (a little mr mopay joke there) So the new iPhone "Stephen Fry endorsed" 4 is out and it looks amazing with a new operating system and a multitude of new features.
However it does have one minor feature that is not working that well on the phone...
Phone Calls!!!!
This has been known for a while now and all we seem to get are excuses on what the issue is. I think we would all just like an admission that there is a fault find out what it is, and fix it. The reasons for this are that apple fans like myself will still continue to buy Apple products as they are a modern artwork with more features than you could shake a rythme stick at. The problem is that I still need to call people, and without this feature at hand we have real problems as we have all become so reliant on our phones to keep in touch.
So in conclusion Apple please sort the connection issue out ASAP so when your next new product comes out I canl be waiting in the queue for it like the other millions, or atleast be on the 1.7 millions strong waiting list like with the iPhone 4, (despite the phone not phoning people).
So until next time people keep recycling.
