Nokia 1208 Mobile Phone £4.99 with £5.00 Top Up (updated)

WARNING: PLEASE READ THREAD BELOW RE T9 LANGUAGE ETC

Just bought a couple of these basic phones for a holiday as I didn't want to take my regular phone out.

Phone is £4.99 when purchased with T-Mobile sim preloaded with £5 calls for £5.

So that's £9.99 for a mobile with £5 worth of credit.

[STRIKE]PLUS Topcashback are offering £5 cash back per order from Prepaymania, effectively making the phone free![/STRIKE]

Edit: TopCashBack have removed PrePayMania from their merchant list.

Mine have just arrived next day delivery!

PREPAYMANIA

Edit: Forgot to mention delivery is FREE too.

Offer limited to 2 handsets per customer/household in any 6 month period

EDIT: Just had a reply to my ticket with PPM, after discovering the handsets that I bought were intended for the CIS/Russian market, hence no English T9. Others have reported receiving phones for the SA market although these have an English T9 option. Just a word of warning. If you are happy to take a chance, then fine!

Good find, thanks for this. I know someone who is looking for a cheap T Mobile phone so will pass these details on.
Great, thanks.

OP, any chance you could check if the phone is network unlocked?

Thanks am after a couple of cheap easy to use mobiles for my Mum and my Aunt who do have trouble picking up texting on a lot of handsets.

Would these be very easy to use and to see whats on the screen?

Ive yet to find them a phone they can use for calls and texting!

Thanks

The only issue which I've just discovered - I don't seem to be able to locate the English T9 dictionary - so providing they don't use predictive, then it's all pretty straight forward.

I've contacted PPM regarding the T9 languages. Will post back when I have an answer! It does state on their page that it has English SMS dictionary option, so might be that I am missing something somewhere..

I've just ordered one for a gift too. Thanks OP.

The star rating is a little confusing...



Is it supposed to be 5 stars, or 4 stars? 5 stars showing, but end one faded out, but still a little bit of gold in it?!

Four and a half, I guess. The N97, by comparison, has 5 full stars.
