    Define 'good' ?

    Personally I think it's pooh, but to another person it could well be good.

    If you're just after something cheap to run on Giffgaff then I retract my pooh. For that sort of thing it will be fine (after unlocking it, seems that cost £6 here: http://www.mobileunlocked.co.uk/Alcatel/OT+710/) :)

    Good or bad depends on what you want. And how much was it in Asda?

    Unless you insist in it being pink, it's £30+£10 at cpw/e2save (minus quidco/TCB).

    Very unlikely to be locked.
