Superdrug do the Motorola C975 for the same price ( £10 incl £10 airtime) although brick like it does have internet access etc

Is this only available in the shops? I cannot find it on the internet. I am keen to get hold of this and dont know which shops in London might have this.

I have this phone and am very pleased with it. It has a lot of cool features for a "basic" phone and I have no problems with the tariff at all. Another nice bonus is the "we pay" feature where you get credited for every phone call and text you receive. You have to claim it when you top up and need to claim within 30 days, but is a nice extra feature - I normally get a free fiver every time I top up.

Yes only in shops and normally hidden behind the counter too so you need to ask what PAYG phones they have on offer, in my experience they will try to sell you £30 credit to start with but just ask about the £10 offer.

I Believe the 'WE PAY' feature only gets credits from texts / calls received from other phones on the 3 network, i have an unlimited text tarriff with O2 and was hoping to be able to bump my 3 pay credit up with it but sadly not:cool:

It shouldnt be, according to the 3 website any UK text counts towards wepay
3 Web site

Certain incoming calls and texts are excluded. Exclusions include video calls, messages sent from websites, calls from 3 customer service and operation centres and text messages from non-UK customers overseas. Incoming cash credits may be delayed whilst you are roaming abroad with your handset or you are using your phone outside the 3G coverage area.

I have been to 2 shops in London and they dont have it in stock. And they are not able to tell me which shops in London stock these too. I really want one of these and I dont know how to find out.

try the store pickup option and type your post code in, it will show your local stores and allow you to check for stock, reserve it then pick it up.

It's any tariff. I don't know anyone else on the 3 network, yet I still get the we pay goodness

If you only reguire a basic phone to make calls and textx then its perfect for that use. The ZTE phone, £24.99 with £30 credit, you cant go wrong, good to buy and sell on.

Sold a cpl on ebay last year when same offer was on. Both went to people who were on holiday.

Yes the sim is glued into these phones, you can take them and use them in other 3 phones no problem, however for some reason when you remove the sim you can not put it back into the phone it came out of. You can put a different sim in and it works.

So have bought another cpl ready to sell on to people on holiday here.
