Everytime I upgrade my cell phone or smart phone, I’m stuck with trying to figure out what to do with my old phone. The last couple, I’ve donated to women’s shelters, but it was hard work to find a way to do the right thing. Now I’ve got news that Fido has solved that problem for me going forward. So here’s what they had to say to me via e-mail:
FidoTRADE is a new program coming July 11th to Fido customers that will let them trade-in their used device, regardless of carrier, for a credit towards the cost of a new one or the renewal of their Fido service.
This is the first nation-wide trade-in program of its kind from a wireless carrier in Canada. All devices collected through the trade-in process are returned to Flipswap who refurbishes and redistributes a large portion of the traded phones. Phones with no trade-in value will be recycled in an environmentally compliant manner.
FidoTRADE will be available in-store only at Fido’s 85 corporate stores and later this summer, across the national Fido dealer network. Not only is FidoTRADE a great way for customers to get their next device for less, but it also allows them to dispose of their current devices in an environmentally responsible way.
This is a great idea as e-waste is a major problem. I have to hand it to them as this is going to be something is to sure to attract the more environmentally savvy. What do you think? Drop your comments below.
