Need simplest & low cost Pay as you Go

For years now I have had a Motorola payg which still has £15 credit as it is kept in my car for emergency use only.
I now need another phone for partners car. Least sophisticated the better & needs a tarrif which does not pinch outstanding credit every month or so which then becomes a monthly rental in effect.

Thanks, TB.

    Yep - Nokia 1100 is a good "no frills" phone and all Virgin mobiles comes with £5 credit when you register them. If you don't think you'll need the extra £20 call credit, you can sell the voucher on eBay for almost face value. Beware though, as you're probably aware, most networks will cut you off if you haven't made at least one call within a certain period so don't let it go completely dormant.

    BTW, Virgin Mobile site appears to be having some problems at the moment, so I'd give it a little while.

    EDIT: Virgin Mobile site seems to be working OK now.:D
