Where can I get a cheap mobile?
Options
Can anyone suggest a cheap mobile (preferably unlocked or for orange) for under £20? I just want it to put an orange sim card in so that I can get the orange 2 for 1 cinema discount so doesn't have to be anything fancy
Thanks.

The cheapest i could find unlocked would be Alcatel OT E227 £5 phone and £10 air time, so effectively £15.
Sony Ericsson J132 - £13 for phone £10 for air time = £23
They will be unlocked from carphone.
Or just go to asda and get the £9 Alcatel S211. Its out of stock online, maybe can check in store.
I only done a quick check with carphone and asda, phones4u has a £10 + £10 Alcatel OT- S3190 -
This one is £4.85, but you need to buy £10 of Virgin talk time. However if you go through quidco, you will get £10 cashback, so works out cheaply.

Thanks
