So what can we tell from this?
First of all, if your phone is quite old it's probably not really worth the effort.
Second of all, the phone your selling matters with iPhones getting more money than Samsung mobiles of the same age.
As for which company pays the most, in our test Simply Drop offered the most cash for the iPhone but Envirofone offered slightly more for the Galaxy S7.
Also, not all companies made offers on our phones.
The conclusion? As always, it's to shop around and never settle on your first offer!
