Cheap mobile phone with good battery life?

KevinK

Travel a lot for work and my Iphone doesn't cut it (dies too fast) - need a cheap phone with a good battery life (ie longer than a day!) - doesn't need to do much apart from call and text (capability to go on internet for basic things would be good but would sacrifice that for longer battery). Any suggestions of phone and where to buy?

How about a month?

The Nokia 105, a £13 mobile

That said, are WiFi and Bluetooth switched off in your iPhone? Not to mention GPS.

I think it's not available yet, but you can check the predecessor(s):

Nokia 100 that CPW sell for £4.95+£10 has up to 840h standby, i.e. more than a month apparently: http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_100-4120.php

I got a Nokia 100 a few months ago from CPW when they had an internet promotion at about £12.99 plus £3.03 cashback from Topcashback. Then sold the £10 sim for £7.50.

It's a great little phone and battery lasts for ages. Sound quality quite good for such a cheap phone and you can drop it without fear of a breakage.

Discussion? Unless it's a netwok-branded phone, all PAYG phones sold by CPW are not locked.
