Motorola F3 - Orange Pay As You Go £9.99 delivered (no top-up required)

The MOTOFONE F3 from Motorola is simple, functional and fashionable.

Normally you need to but a £10 top-up with these PAYG phones however that requirement seems to have been dropped just now so the phone is only £9.99 delivered.

Thank you sooo much for that. My phone gave up in the rain last week and I have spent the whole day looking for an inexpensive phone.:j

this is a great backup/emergency/holiday phone, but it is extremely basic:

can only do calls and text messages, and the text message display is a bit rubbish. but with an almost 2 week battery life, and its expense, its great for a camping holiday or something.

I have just bought this phone for my son. It is really basic which is what I was after as he uses it to phone us when he is away from home. Just a quick question: can I choose to go with a provider other than Orange?

Thank you all in advance.

Yes, this review is just as scathing :

Mav - this will be almost certainly be locked to Orange. You will probably need to get it unlocked if it is unlockable, to be able to use it with other sims.

#6 I thought it might be, thanks for that.

I notice orange seem to have disappeared from Quidco unfortunately - was previously £5 cashback for payg I seem to remember.

I bought one of these phones today from ASDA's and it cost £10.00 and comes with £1 top up all ready included!!!It will do my 8 yr old daughter nicely as she only needs it when she goes out to her friends and for the alarm to tell her when to come home again!

Yeah, the screen on this phone reminds me of those old Texas Instrument calculators

Thanks to the other Orange thread I noticed that unusually there is currently no top up required at the Orange shop at the moment on any PAYG phones.

I also checked a discount thread that I posted a few days back and it is still working. £20 off all PAYG over £30.

So in effect £20 off and no top up.

e.g. Sony Ericson K310i £14.99, LGkp202 £14.99, Sony Ericson K750i £59.99

All delivered. This code does work as I know it has been used a couple of times.
