Is your old Nokia or Motorola mobile phone worth up to £1,000?

If you’re in desperate need of a cash boost to get your last Christmas presents then you might want to dig up your old mobile phone as it could be worth a small fortune.

Some old, chunky mobile phones are now seen as “classics” and even, get this, “antiques”, which means they are selling for hundreds.

The amount of cash you could be raking in will differ from model to model, but research from talkmobile has found that 56.8 per cent of people have an old phone lying around.
