Anyone know of a cheap pay as you go mobile as mine's just packed up and I only use it now and again for work/emergencies .Nothing fancy, just talk and text.

    The cheapest no frills handset I know of is the Nokia 1661. Literally talk and text and that's it! Think it's around £10-15

    e1100 at carphone warehouse - £4.95 delivered although you have to pay £10 virgin topup too (for £10 of calls). Apparently the phone is unlocked so just get a £1 Asda/family mobile sim (8/9p per min 4/6p per text) onc the virgin £10 is exhausted.

    £4.95 topcashback too

    So if you ad all that together it's basically free! That seems a cracking deal for a no-frills basic phone which is what I'm after. Cheers csiman!
