The cheapest new phones are PAYG Alcatel OT209 and Samsung E1080 from mobiles.co.uk or e2save.com.
They cost 1p+£10, but you can get up to £7.57 cashback through TCB and sell unwanted sim with credit on e-bay.
Phones are likely to be unlocked.

Yes, if the phone is locked, but as I said it's almost certainly unlocked. And even in the worst case scenario you make a small profit, not loss.
