Wanted: Cheap 3 phone

A friend has damaged their 3 phone beyond repair and needs another phone, does anyone know of any cheap 3 phones available on PAYG so he can put his contract sim into it?

    Only one I can think of is the lgu8210 flip phone....I think they can get them in woolies or superdrug atm for £49.99 which will include £20.00 airtime.

    not sure of any better deals atm

    I got mine on contract on a cashback deal so it was free. However I have seen it being sold on payg for around £50 I think. I think you can only get it online though now because the high street shops have stopped selling it (although I'm not sure about this). 3 pay online definitely have it, and the link sell it with £30 of airtime too. Try a kelkoo search to get the best price.
  • Cheers, found it on 3's site, £60 with £30 airtime, £50 for a refurbed model.

    might be able to get one cheap on ebay.
  • Would users please take note of the following rule icon7.gif

    OFFERING ITEMS FOR SALE/TRADE/EXCHANGE/SWAP

    Please do not sell/trade/exchange/swap items on the boards (that includes in PM’s). This includes posting links to your ebay auctions, or other forms of advertising. If someone appears to be selling items on the board it will be deleted with a note left by the board guides/forum team. This protects site users as we do not encourage strangers to exchange personal details via this site “including PM’s”.

    another option is getting the nokia 3220 from orange website. this can be unlocked for free and can take a 3g sim card (afaik).
    advantage is that it is a much smaller handset,
    another option is the sanyo also at orange website (they have for 39 quid as recon)
