So I lost my contract Galaxy ace and whoever found it has pinched it, got a replacment sim card but now as no insurance (rip off anyway) need to get a decent phone until my upgrade in Nov/dec
Looking at ebay at moment at likes of Zte blade 3 and a few others budget is as little as possible really £50-£80 ish I guess, with t-mobile so needs to be unlocked
Any phones you recommend looking at ? was all set for a blade 3 but seen good and bad reviews, Ideally should be at least as good as my Glaxy ace 1
cheers

What about a brand new Huawei Y300 - only £60 from CPW (as long as you have had a PAY sim from one of the major networks for at least 6 months)?
My beloved T-mobile Vivacity has a cracked screen:(:(:(, so I'm thinking of a Y300. I have an orange sim that I just use for Orange Weds, so I should be eligible for the orange upgrade price.0 -

Just ordered Huawei Y300 from CPW not in stock till the 8th of july
Still ordered one at that price £59.95 and No Top-Up and Free Home Delivery
what more could you ask for...O Yeah and went though TCB and got £3 what a bargain.
Just to let you know i have had my O2 pay&go Sim for about 8yrs and not topped it up for about a 6-9mths and still got the upgrade
Did what d123 said and went though the checker sends you a code if you can Upgade.Nobody is Perfect. I am Nobody, therefore I am Perfect.
