Dinosaur Seeks Help Choosing a New Phone (Internet Access NOT Required)

Just as the title suggests, I’m simply way behind the times and looking for a bit of help in choosing a new phone please…

...all I'm looking for is a decent phone (up to £100) that’s likely to last and that has decent personal organiser functions. The phone needs to be PAYG & Sim free as phone usage is very, very low (£50 top-up a year, max)

I have no need for internet access / social networks / apps / androids or whatever, basically just a phone that doubles up as a personal organiser.

Should a recommended phone happen to have internet access etc, is it possible to switch off this function? I only ask as I’m ignorant of how internet access via a phone works and paranoid of somehow, unknowingly, running up a huge bill, if that’s possible.

Any help would be much appreciated.

  • …alas, having been shown no mercy, it came to pass dinosaurs were left to trudge the lonely path to extinction; to be superseded by a new order, idolising android and symbian gods in anticipation of satisfying their compulsive lust for social networking and apps.


    I guess that’s what you call evolution.
