Simple but small phones

Hello - was hoping for a little help looking for a new phone (I've gone back a fair few pages looking for a similar thread but couldn't find one).

I just need a simple phone to make calls and send texts - I'm not bothered about cameras, music, internet and so on. However, I would like the thing to be as small/thin as possible, unlike the old brick-like phones.

And I'm struggling to find such a weapon. You'd think that a phone with fewer features wouldn't need to be large but I suppose that's too easy for phone manufacturers.

Well, any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Cid.

    It depends how much you are willing to spend and what network you're on, but Orange do an Alcatel phone (small, pretty slim) instore for only £9.99 if you have a current sim (if not you have to top up £10). It has an mp3 player built in. For a *really* thin phone you can pick up the Moto V3 for around £45-50 or the Moto L6 for around £20-30. Personally I have an o2 ice pink, I posted a deal on HUKD, it's from Littlewoods Direct, it has all the bells and whistles you might not use (1.3mpx camera, video calls, card slot, mp3/video player) but was only £24 delivered. It's about 1.5cm thick if that with a big screen. HTH :)
