My wife has done the unthinkable and washed my very basic mobile phone which i inherited off her!!!--what now i ask myself!!

İ am particularly pathetic with technology but i see the benefits my daughter gets from her up to date mobile and i ask myself can an old dog be taught new tricks??!!--what would be the phone to go for in my case?-i rarely use a phone for calls but would like to use like a computer--i live abroad and apart from my wife needing to contact me i have no fone use for a mobile!
mfw'11 No68- 55k mortgage İO--little to nothing saved! i must do better.

    So your clean phone no longer works? They can be dried out and may or may not work. Anyway, if you aren't going to use it much then just get a super cheap PAYG phone. The smarter they are the less time they last on battery. My basic LG GB102 lasts a week and my LG KS360 lasts 2 days. My friends have smart phones that barely last the day.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
