Do you all keep your old phones, sell, give away?

I have a friend, whom I met years ago when he was homeless. He has since gotten a job, medication for his Schizophrenia, and an apartment. He is a good guy. For example, he could live off of disability, but he has a job washing dishes. Of course, if you are on disability, and take a job, they lower your check. This guy actually bikes to work 5 miles there and back, on a bike we got donated to him, for essentially $3 an hour because the first $5 of his check each hour lowerers his SSI payment). He does not drink or do drugs, he is just a little different, even with his schizoprenia treated. He had my old Moto Cliq. I hated that phone, but he loved it. Anyway, he broke it, so he is on a loaner phone from T-Mobile. Does anyone have an old Android they would donate to this guy? If anyone wants to check this story out, I am in Charleston, SC. Send me a PM.
 
Is there a way to make a Sprint phone work on T-Mobile? I will call him and ask if he has a contract.
 
No there is no way to make sprint phones work on Tmo or vice versa.

I usually keep one backup phone and sell my others.
 
We are stuck with T-Mobile.
I am sure he is in the worst contract ever.
Sales people rip him off all the time.
 
im pretty sure all but 1 of my old phones are sitting in a drawer or bin. along with other misc electronics/parts

the 1 that is not i gave to my cousin
 
I don't buy used phones.

I also don't sell them. I may decide to either keep it or give it away to family members...Whatever the case, I never sell them.
 
I kept my aging Moto Bravo, but stripped it of everything I now use my Atrix 2 for. The Bravo (which now has no SIM) has been relegated to wireless control of a few objects around the house.
