Which PAYG Phone?

[Deleted User]

Hi everyone
I am training at the moment to become a Weight Watchers leader and while on a training weekend one of the girls said she has bought a PAYG phone so that her WW members didn't have her personal mobile number, like a buisiness phone.
I love this idea but have no idea which phone to go for :eek:
In all the years I have had a mobile phone I have always had a contract so PAYG is very new to me and having had a look there is such a big choice of phones to choose from!

I am hoping some of you lovely people can recommend a phone that may be suitable, at the moment I do not know what useage I will be needing, this is the reason for starting on PAYG. I am also looking for a phone up to roughly the £100 mark.

Thanks

It won't be your primary phone so you don't need email, MP3, or a smart phone so go for something really basic as that may not do lots of "stuff" but it will go for ages without needing a charge.

Given it will also be for phone calls only buy what's cheap and on offer at the local supermarket, probably a tenner or so...

If you really need something better later you can always upgrade it.

A bulky second phone with loads of unneeded functions and short battery life - just for accepting (mainly) occasional calls from 'girls'?
Doesn't look like a good advice to me.

My suggestion: Nokia 1800 from e2save:
1p + £10 topup - £7.50 cashback.

For £100 it would be far more reasonable to buy a dual-sim phone.

EDIT: maybe not because it is unlikely to be able to accept the calls for both sims simultaneously (I am not sure).
EDIT1: after some search this seems not to be the case. Both sims can be active at the same time (I checked Samsung C3212 Duos)

Maybe try this -

There is a thread in the 'Grabbit' section too with everyone going mad about the phone! Also if you use Quidco you get £5 cashback so making it less than £25 for a very decent 2nd phone!

The above has now been reduced by a further £10 until 18th April - Making it £19.99 or £14.99 if you get the £5 cashback via Quidco!
