    If you want cheap there's the nokia 1101 at easymobile.com , or more exactly http://www.easymobilephones.com/pay-as-you-go/nokia/1101- You just pay £20 for the airtime and the phone is free. If you buy it going via https://www.quidco.com you will get £15 cashback* (eventually) on your purchase. Can't be bad :)

    *£5 admin fee charged once per year only from your earnings.

    Thanks for that thepearce, it's exactly what I was looking for. I even managed to go through Quidco and get some more dosh back.

    It's probably been asked before but does anyone know if a T-Mobile sim can be used in an easymobile phone without unlocking ?

    I have tried today

    It also worked on siemans AX72
    I have been to virgin website many times before and did not delete any cookies, not sure why it doesnt work for you.

    ?Try from different computer??

    Well finally got it working now.

    Tried different computer, but still had problems. Then, had a thought it could be something to do with ISP, NTL broadband.

    So I registered with BT Payg Internet and connected to internet via dialup using BT line provided by my office. Now I got everything working, added AX72 + Joining Pack + £20 voucher for £26.99. Also used quidco for £8.

    For anyone who is not able get lifestylerewards after deleting the cookies, try different ISP.

    When I received the phone they had included 2 £20 vouchers, so thats 2 X vouchers plus £15 from Quidco that means they have paid me £35 to take a phone off them, that's pretty impressive money saving I'd say !!!!!

    One of my daughters (12yo) wants a cheap pink PAYG with camera mobile. We currently have several Sagem My C2's unlocked but on T mobile. What's good at this moment? I've had an email from LX direct showing a Samsung E350 on T mobile at £89.99 - is this any good? Ideally we'd like all phones on same network. Any help to get through this minefield would be gratefully appreciated.
    I'm mad!!!! :rotfl::jand celebrating everyday every year!!!

    the e350 is quite a good phone, my teenage daughter loved her's as it played (a few, it only has a limited memory) MP3's
