Get £5 extra for virgin mobile, from Linemypocket. it takes 1 or 2 months, though.

I've just checked linemypocket, and as far as I can see the cashback is 3% which I calculate to be 75p !!!!!! (based on £24.95 price)

Is it just me being stupid..................:think:

Checked the website but they're sold out now.

DH is going for a fact finding tour around Kenya and we'd like to keep in touch with photos while he's gone. Would a camera phone do this? Is there a way that you can print out photos from the phone? We're on the Virgin network if that helps and successfully used our phone there for texts last year.

Any recommendations? Reconditioned / second hand / any considered but don't want them to look too flashy. Would we need two phones the same to exchange photos? Tried reading the virgin faq on this but couldn't work it out.

Thanks,
Beckipeg

O2 contract phones normally come unlocked
O2 payg phones are normally locked.

The SF65 I had come from Virgin today (ordered yesterday @ 5.15pm) is locked.

Thanks to the OP for the heads up.

Apologies, linemy used to give £5 for each purchase (I got one myself, last month). They seemed to have recently changed.

Back in stock now

Clearly this is very cheap for a camera phone, but regardless of the price is it any good?

Has anyone got / had one, and if so, what is your opinion of it :question:

CLever little phone but depends on what you are comparing it against.

It has quite a good camera facility with excellent zoom and flash. You swivel and fold the screen back on itself so it really looks like a digital camera. . It does have bags of features and although I have a higher spec phone already for this price I think it is great.

If you click on the pictures on that page you can see how it swivels and get an idea of its size.

Hope that helps.

Actually, it was some of the reviews on that site that made me question whether this phone was any good :think:

I only received mine a couple of days ago and have not tried to download pics to the computer yet.

On the review page some people said the camera was not so good but I think it is very good. Never going to be as good as a digital camera.

My daughter has the motorola v220 and, in my opinion, the camera on that is no where near as good yet it is dearer to buy refurbished from virgin.

Very pleased to have got mine and yes they are selling for more on ebay.

Not going to be the phone for everybody but great for the price.

out of stock again , daughter desperate for one might pay extra for the new one
£60 including £15 credit not a bad price for a good camera phone
