NextWorth is a mobile device buy-back company that we've highlighted here on Planet Green in our suggestions for how to make money off old gadgets, as well as in our Guide to Buy-Back, Take-Back and Recycling Programs. Earlier in the year they announced an expansion from accepting only iPhones to a few other mobile devices. Now, they're accepting all cell phones.

Cell phones from every carrier and manufacturer have been added to the NextWorth database. That means no matter what cell phone you have, NextWorth is an option for making a little cash when you update to a newer phone. We of course encourage you first to check out websites like Last Year's Model, which can help bolster your resolve to keep your old device for as long as it'll keep ticking along.

However, if you decide to upgrade and like the idea of making some money, the process is easy. You simply use NextWorth's database to look up the value, send in your phone via a free shipping label printed from the website, and get paid through the mail, with PayPal, or with a gift card from Target or Amazon. Even if your phone doesn't have a buy back value (that can happen if it's an old model, for which we'll congratulate you for keeping your phone as long as possible!) you can still mail it in for free to NextWorth, who will pass it to responsible recyclers.
