can only see the A60 for £30 (well, £29.99!) - has the offer finished? The mono A50 is around £20.

£30 with a simcard, £20 without

ah right, thankyou - I must have had my dense head on

I must have my dense head on as well 'cause I can't see the option to buy this without the Sim Card:(

To buy without a sim you have to be a customer, you login to your account and buy from there, you could of course ring up and ask to buy without a sim dunno if they will let you tho if you are not a customer already

Orange are selling them for £19.99 only on line with sim included, not sure if they can be unlocked easily.

They can be unlocked but not via code - it's one of the open them up and drill ones. (unless someone else knows how to get it done).

Can you use any sim card on this phone? Ive already got one that PAYG with O2 but not sure if it would work on the phone.

Thanks

Thanks for that BS7. Followed your link and decided to buy, BUT found out that you do need to enter a valid Student ID on the order form.

However, on reading the 'small print' i noticed that if you ring Virgin Mobile on their freephone number and quote 'Lifestyle Rewards' you get the same deal without the need for a Student ID.

So you get the phone at 10% discount which is £26.99 (instead of the usual £29.99), PLUS you get a FREE £20 Airtime Voucher (instead of a £10 voucher), PLUS the standard £5 call credit already on the supplied new SIM card. So a total call credit of £25.

So you actually get a new (not reconn) Siemens A60 colour phone and all the supplied phone accessories for just £1.99 !!!!

Needless to say i ordered 2, which from the website order form, i believe to be the maximum allowed per household (or is it per order ?). What a bargain.

Thanks again for this excellent thread/info.
