My Nokia has gone Kaput. I'd return it but tis my own fault for dropping the damn thing and breaking the screen.

I want a PAYG phone, I'll need to purchace today or tommorrow really.

I need something basic and functional, and will withstand being dropped!
I'd have a 3210 but not many places stock them nowadays!


Any suggestions.
Cheap is good!

    I would suggest the Nokia 6300, but i've heard battery life is max of 3 days. It'll set you back to £80 if you want to buy it in the highstreet.

    heh, this phone is £10 + £10 air time = £20 on vodafone and virgin. But it will be unlocked from carphone. here - Nokia 1650

    or this phone for £20 + £10 top = £30. I dont know if it will be unlocked from phones4u. here -Nokia 2630 Black (there is also a white version)

    Thanks all.

    Considered ebay but ideally I'd like to get one today. Have a bit of organising to do this weekend and it's gonna be a nightmare without a mobile.

    Had a look in Tesco, couldn't see any real cheapies. The one i've got was £50 .

    Carphone warehouse looks good but I'll have to tram into town to visit. Gonna nip u to Asda and see if they have anything in as I'm after some sunnies anyway. if no joy I'll try carphone warehouse.

    Thanks again.
