A side effect of all of this economic activity, however, is that as many as four million cell phone owners now have a phone to spare.  What is done with these old phones? Since their previous phones probably cost them a significant amount of money either up front or in the form of a service contract, consumers are often reluctant to get rid of the phone, preferring to store it in a drawer for the proverbial \u2018rainy day\u2019.<\/p>\n
