Already have a sim - need new phone

Hi all!
I've already got a mobile phone with Virgin mobile. I am very happy with the service and costs (my partner has a Virgin mobile so it is cheaper to call him on the same provider) but my handset is very very out of date - and bulky. I'm looking to get a new phone but keep my sim card (I NEED to keep the number and as I've said I like virgin's service etc) . Where can I buy a phone without a sim - that is good value and is reasonably hi-tec? Am I best buying a new phone via Virgin mobile? or can anyone suggest a cheaper handset?
thanks
Catherine

    Have you registered your sim on the Virgin website? If you have you then can access their new and reconditioned phones pages which show the current offers at £10 less as you won't get a simcard with the phone.

    Some of the reconditioned phones at the moment are bargain prices and I can certainly recommend this way of buying a phone through Virgin.
