Im looking for a phone that you can allocate ringtones to people, so I know who to ignore and who to answer without hunting for my phone. Just a cheap basic PAYG.
Thanks, Alison

    Nokia 2330 - cheap, has individual ring tones, bluetooth tunes to it if you want your own. Ideal as very basic phone. 5130 also if you want to go up market a bit.

    How difficult it is to hold the phone and glance on screen to see who's calling? :D
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    Very if you have poor eyesight or partially blind.

    Also if your girlfriend rings when you are out with the wife.

    Also difficult to see if you don't want for any reason to take your phone out of your pocket - say if you are driving but not equipped with a remote- but may want to pull over if it is a certain person ringing with news, say, about a relative in hospital.


    Obviously Nokia et al have wasted £££ of investment putting unwanted features on their phones :confused:

    My last 3 nokia phones have read out the name of the person when the phone rings. The ring tone fades out and it reads the caller name out. Doesn't work unless the caller is in the address book but very useful. You know if to fish the phone out of your pocket.

    Miles more useful than individual ring tones - you don't have anything to remember.
