    Probably a Nokia, as they are easy to unlock - free on a thread at the top of the board. 1100 1650 2600 are pretty cheap, or you can probably find plenty of good secondhand ones like 3510i from friends or elsewhere

    suggest you try to find out what a PAYG package + very basic phone costs in Oz when you arrive as generally most countries are cheaper than the UK.
  • I wont be using the phone much, juyst turning it on once a day to see if theres any urgent texts from family or friends. I realised I have an old nokia 7210 that I can use!
