    saw an ad in The Sun today, it says Superdrug are selling a ZTE phone -a FLIP PHONE, for £5 and it comes with £10 credit. Its on the 3 network. (I've been on this network for years and have never had a problem.) It's for today only.
  • " HERES one for Ј29.95 with Ј30 of airtime on virgin... Go through quidco and get Ј5....... Can't be bad..."


    Did anybody buy this Nokia1112? How does the airtime come? Is it included already on the SIM or comes as a £30 voucher? It is a vital for me, as I am on Virgin at the moment and would like to put this airtime on my sim and give the mobile to my friend (I hope he will be able to unlock it, as Nokias are normally easy to unlock).

    Thanks

    I bought one for her indoors, great little phone with no frills. You have to load it with £5 initially, then at the beginning of the next month you get £10 worth loaded automatically, and the next month and so on until you have your £30 worth. The good news is THEY HAVE GONE DOWN TO £19.95 !!! Bad news is they are locked to Virgin and at present there are no unlock codes for this model. Still with £5 through Quidco and the airtime, it must be the bargain of the month!!!

  • why do you not go on these websites that give you free mobiles with free line rental on 12 month contract, give hima fixed price like t mobile's U Fix and it will work out free.

    Thanks a lot.
    It's a pity that there are no unlock codes for this model :(
    Does anybody know is it possible to unlock it using special hardware, i.e. if I go the the guys in the town centre who do unlocking mobiles, will they be able to do it?

    Cheers,
