Smart phone deal suggestions...
Hi
I have an LG P500 which ive had for about 3 years, so its a total dinosaur as far as smart phones go, and indeed my apps are one-by-one becoming incompatible with it. I have been out of contract for a year now and am paying £27 a month including the orange care insurance.
I want to switch to a more up to date handset and keep my number but not necessary to stay with Orange.
One problem is that I am applying for jobs in Europe and hope to leave the UK soon so I dont want to be tying myself to another 18 month contract which will cost a fortune to cancel when I move.
Any suggestions?

Grab a couple of free Sainsbury's sims and you'll have 800 mins or data and texts up to the end of Nvember if you time things right - last chance to order them is today. Short-term but would give you two months free. You can actually order up to at least 9 sims, I believe (so 9x that bundle). I've ordered one today as a back-up and won't activate it until I have to (ore lose it) which will be on 30th October. I will then have 30 days before the bundle expires. There is an excellent thread on page one.0

THink I will get a cheap payg phone from sainsburys. THe specs are twice as good as my current phone and for half the price!0 -
What phone is it? Don't rush and compare it to Motorola Moto E/G first.0

I've just got my sister the Moto E on Tesco. £7.50 a month (capped at a max of £10) and am really surprised at how much phone you actually get with the Moto E.
It's not as good as my S4, but then it's a hell of a lot cheaper with no upfront cost. Can't believe that the phone came free on such a cheap contract!0 -
I went for the Huawei Y330 for £40 with Sainsburys. My friend has one and she is as clumsy as me and says its a tough little phone, which is good. THe specs are fairly basic but Im really not a smart phone addict so I dont need 5MP cameras or massive internal storage etc.
The motorola one does look good though0
