New PAYG Phone (old one lost/stolen)

Myosin

Our Orange PAYG phone was lost/stolen at some point yesterday :think: , possibly during a shopping trip to Tesco... but I've called them up and nothing's been handed in and West Mercia Police are quite busy at the moment so can't get through to their lost property dept.

However, if I'm looking for a PAYG phone which I'll be spending very little, i.e. ~£5 per 6 months, if that. It's more a security measure but is used a bit.

There is a cashback offer from The Link but I'm a little weary of these - I've never done a cashback offer before but have heard about people's going wrong and not getting cashback.

I'd like to stay with Orange, but not necessary, are there any decent offers on PAYG or trustworthy cashback offers around?

Hi !
How annoying losing your phone.
I just bought the nokia 3120 directly from orange.co.uk 39.99 its great ! does all the basics, good reception, good volume etc and stays charged for a huge 18 days !!!
Best Ive seen unless you fancy the nokia 2650 flip phone in phones4u 29.99. I opted for the 3120 as it stays charged up for 6 more days. Hope this helps.

You can take your number from orange if you want.

I'd like to stay with Orange

If you are happy with Orange, their cheapest PAYG is currently £19.99 delivered. see website

I hope that you have rung Orange to freeze your account! If you do get another Orange handset, when you ring up to register it, you could transfer your old number and any remaining credit over.

I'll definitely look into those options, I'll wait a couple of weeks to see if it turns up anywhere then will splash out for xmas.

Thanks again!
