If you haven't already, take battery out, dry off, place in a bag of rice and somewhere warm, airing cupboard is good. Leave for 48 hours (the longer the better) it might just work again.

Do you know how many minutes? what type of phone you will be looking to get?

Ovivo is worth a look if a light user, virgin seem to have some decent deals at the moment also. Depends how many mins you are after really.

think my partner is using it as an excuse to get a new phone!!!!

Ok, head to billmonitor.com stick in what you require and it will find the best deal on the main networks.

You can select cashback as well if you intend to do that.

not too an expensive phone,around 200 mins a month

Well this isn't to expensive IMO:

But I would probably go for the G300, which is £20 more on Vodafone and instore at Sainsburys (well they had some today at Craigleith, Edinburgh). Get it unlocked and select a sim only or PAYG deal.

I nearly suggested that Nokia on Virgin, depends if you want to tie yourself into a 24 month contract. You might find it gets dropped into a basin of water again a year down the line.:rotfl::rotfl:
