The iPhone 5 – Don’t Sell it, Trade it or Throw it. Donate it!!!








In the United States, millions of old cell phones are thrown away every year in the United States, with only an estimated 10% being recycled. When a cell phone, such as an iPhone 5, becomes outdated, people instinctively throw it away or try to sell it for minimal cash and proceed with buying a new one. Rather than throwing away your iPhone 5, why not donate it to a better cause?

Donate your iPhone 5 to Reboot Charity!


Don’t sell it back

When a cell phone becomes outdated, it is usually sold for a small amount of cash. In truth, with the affordability of cell phones today, trading in doesn’t really seem like a wise choice. Rather than getting cash for iPhone, why not donate it to a better cause? The few extra bucks you receive from selling your iPhone 5 cannot compete with the benefit people will receive from your donation, plus you will receive a tax-write off come tax season.

Don’t trade it in

Many people choose to trade in their iPhone 5 to receive a cash discount for a new iPhone. However, yet again, your discount will seem rather minimal compared to the benefits people will receive from your donation.

Don’t throw it away

Truth be told, while many try to sell their cell phones, many others simply throw them away. Whether it is due to a faulty part or just an obsolete phone, people throw their cell phones away every day, giving you no value in return. Electronic donations are a great alternative – you still throw away your cell phone but rather than in the bin, you throw it to a better cause.
Rather than simply throwing your iPhone 5 away, receiving minimal cash for it or trading it in for a small discount, we recommend you donate it to charity. Trading, selling and throwing it away pales in comparison to the benefits people will receive from your donation.

Donate it to www.Rebootcharity.org !!!

Trading in Your iPhone the Charitable Way

Trade in your older phones at www.sell.rebootcharity.org


Apple iPhones are all the craze these days. From young adults to office-going folks to senior citizens, everybody’s just got to have one. Reminds me of the way laptops were introduced for the very first time; just about everybody I knew wanted to have one.
With companies like Apple, where innovation and creativity are at the pinnacle, it is quite common for phones to start losing their edge after just a year or so. New and improved models keep arriving on the shelf, offering far better features at around the same price.
So, what do you do with your old phone?
Do you give it away to a friend or family member?

Shocking!!! -What's dirtier? Your tablet, Smartphone, or Toilet???


Ok, I was HOPING the answer was going to be the toilet!

Did YOU?

I mean, how many of us go out to EAT at restaurants with a smartphone or tablet in one hand and a burger in the other??? We even give our KIDS these gadgets at restaurants just to keep them still and quiet!!!

Well, come to find out, Scientists swabbed 30 tablets, 30 smartphones and an office toilet seat for bacteria & what were the horrifying results???

*Drum Roll                                 


The filthiest of the Tablets showed more than 600, yes, 600 of a certain type of bacteria that also causes food poisoning! The nastiest Smartphone had 140! (Gross! Which is still a danger according to the Health Protection Agency). And last, but shockingly least, the office toilet had less than 20!!!

(WHAAAAAAAAAAAT???)      



But lets focus more on the smartphones, I mean, think about it, aren't our Smartphones stuck to our sides, like, ALL DAY? Whatever we're touching throughout the day is going onto our smartphones!!!

They say iPhones and Droids are "germ magnets". So every time you place your smartphone to your face, that's if you're one of those that actually ANSWER a phone call without letting it go to voicemail to see if it's important enough to call back and offer a text message as a reply, you are exposing your face to MILLIONS of germs!!!

The minute your BFF texts you, or you make a payment online, or even notice a bill collector calling that you choose to hit the decline button, you're in contact with those germs and bacteria!!!

So, what can you do about those Millions of germs festering and living la vida loca on your smartphone screen??? I'd recommend using a non-corrosive anti-bacterial wipe made for electronics! And then, I know this may sound harsh to some, but, WASH YOUR HANDS throughout the day!!! Sheesh! LOL.

And I would DEFINITELY recommend those 2 steps before going out to eat or sitting at the dinner table at home, assuming you actually eat at a table at home and not in your bed like I do!
