Donating an Old Phone

[Bonny]

I want to get rid of an old Samsung flip phone I bought 5 years ago. I've cleared out my history and contacts but for some reason I can't figure out how to clear out a bill notice from Verizon from June of 2011. Account was closed and paid in full in October of 2012. Number was ported to another phone in August 2012.

Anyone run into this before? Any other concerns folks have experienced with donating phones?

I haven't had that problem, but any Verizon tech support person should be able to help you out...even if it is a complete factory reset of the phone.

I would do a factory reset on it. I would think it would go away after that.

A hammer should fix it.

There is no market for a 5 year old flip phone. Just check Graig's list.  I would donate it to charity under an assumed dead's relative estate sale.  Just my opinion.

I said I was donating it in the title. The charity I'm donating it to supports abused women.

I can take a small tax deduction. This will be part of a larger donation. Won't work if I donate "under an assumed dead relative's name".

Restore to factory settings and you should be good to go
