I want a very cheap mobile handset

I just want to put me free SIMS in it to use for Orange Wednesdays and that, so it doesn't need to do anything except text.

Has anyone seen anything really cheap?

Thanks

    Asda (in store) have/had a Nokia 1209 for £13. Like all Asda mobile phones it is unlocked and does not rquire you to purchase a top up. This would work fine with an Orange sim & Orange Wednesdays.

    Hello CSandL

    I'll move your thread to the 'Mobile Phones' board.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].

    Regards

    There was a phone in the carphonewarehouse instore today for £4.95 ish. Sorry did not look futher at the details but all phones from CPW are unlocked.

    Threatened to get my son this as he was looking at the ones at £349. He only needs a new one as first day of the holidays he jumped in the swimming pool, then wondered what was vibrating in his pocket!
