Hi guys, my phone has gone a bit crazy and keeps crashing, but I have a 1 year sim so I'll be needing a new one.

I mainly just text/ring, but a half decent camera/video with bluetooth would be good.

Internet would be a bonus, but I'm not too fussed.

What are the older I-Phones like? Can you pick them up cheap or should I go for a more basic model?

PS. If it looked good that would be a bonus :)

Thanks guys :)

    1. Buying new retail :- Go to CPW and make your choice. At that price, all their phones are unlocked.

    2. Buying 2nd hand from Ebay. Question - do you know the trick how to tell a good quality, hardly used handset from a knackered, well used one on Ebay? No, neither do I ! So if you are buying 2nd hand, inspect the handset before you buy. I have friends who have bought bargains on Ebay and others who picked up rubbish.

    I have accumulated a Nokia 5130, 2330 and 2730 and all are reliable and the 5130/2730 have Internet that works.

    The other option for used is Cash Converters or CEX.
    Good range and a short warranty.

    Or a cheap copy phone from China, easily available on Ebay. I got a phone that looks a lot like an I phone for £34. Takes two sim cards at the same time, touch screen and plays MP3s. Still works fine after 6 months use.
