Hi,
My old phone has just broken on me and im looking for a new one. I dont really know anything about phones and it is quite likely that i would buy a rubbish expensive one :p

Im not looking for a great phone, i have a budget of around 60 quid. A camera would be nice but it is not essential :) I do like the look of the nokia and samsungs though :) Size is quite important, i dont want a brick!

Also, what is the best network to go with? An unlockable phone would be a bonus...

Thanks!

    You'll find Samsung 330 - the small flip/clamshell model for not much more than £60-70 from clearence in o2 shops.

    You'll find £10/month PAYG top ups get you 100mins/texts mixture - if you move up to £15/month you'll get extra texts free.

    thanks a lot, however i did forget to mention, im not overly keen on flip phones :p

    Having said that though, im more concerned about the phone quality, not what it looks like :)

    I thoroughly recommend this phone, it's very basic but guess what....
    you can make phone calls on it and send texts.
    it costs £26.99 but you get a total of £25 credit.
    So a £1.99 phone.
