[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif] What's this about?[/title]

There are currently a few mega cheap PAYG handsets available for around £9 plus they include £10 credit.

Don't expect any bells & whistles on the phones, they're bog standard handsets but are good for basic use.


[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif] The deals [/title]

• Alcatel OT222 flip phone, Orange network, £9. Asda is selling the budget Alcatel handset for £9 in store and online until stocks last plus it comes with £10 credit. This also gives to 2for1 cinema tickets via Orange Wednesdays.

• England branded Alcatel OT203e, o2 network, £9.50 (plus £1.20 on newspapers). Collect four tokens from the Sun (20-30p) from Saturday 8 May and take them into CarphoneWarehouse before 14 May to get the handset for £9.50 and £10 free credit.

[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif] Are these any good? [/title]

These aren't good for cheap calls, you can get far cheaper calls with other sim cards - see the Free Sim Cards deals note for details. Yet for low users, that want a bog standard handset these are pretty cheap and the bonus credit make them worth it.

Very high users should look at switching to a contract phone. As a rough rule of thumb if you make more than 150 minutes of calls and a hundred texts a month look at going for a contract, read the Cheap Mobiles guide.

The CFW one is likely to be unlocked.

Heads up - just ordered the Orange networked Alcatel phone online - there is a minimum £4.95 delivery charge to have this delivered (make sure you unclick their default £5.95 delivery option) therefore £13.95 total not £9 unless you find one instore(good luck).

Still a good deal though....

Its this bit on the ASDA website that I don't get

Collect In-Store!
Free delivery on orders over £25 when collecting in store (selected stores only)

Does that mean that even if you buy it in store, if its under £25 you still have to pay a delivery charge?

seems a bit daft, or am I?
