PAYG PHONE - up £100

System

I would go for the 6233, if you can get your hands on one.

If you get the T-mobile one from Argos, it will be locked to T-Mobile but you can move your number on to the enclosed sim, or can use a Virgin SIM in it without unlocking it. T-Mobile WILL unlock it for £15.

The K750 is a good phone too, so i'd take this.But watch out for the joystick problems and also connector problems with the charger/headphones.

Two other options include:

Nokia 6131 on T-Mobile, its a good phone too. The camera is not as good as those but its a well built flip for £100 at Argos. It will work with the same sims as the 6233.

Virgin had some reconditioned W810i's for about £100, to get one buy/get a Virgin sim and call Virgin up directly, they don't advertise these on their website. It will be locked to Virgin initally. But can be unlocked after you've used £30 credit, free of charge.

hey, I went into argos the other day and they did not have any 6233 in stock or do not know when they can get hem in

the w810i does not seem like another bad option

If you get the T-mobile one from Argos, it will be locked to T-Mobile but you can move your number on to the enclosed sim, or can use a Virgin SIM in it without unlocking it. T-Mobile WILL unlock it for £15

i thought someone said that you can not unlock the nokia 6233 and your ISP or manufactor would not do so as its PAYG, but if i pay would they?
