    Hiya

    Thank you

    argos do a payg one for £19-99 +£10 topup

    = 47.1 days @108sb to pay for it's self @ £5 agc rate.

    I think I recall a user here getting that one for sb before and it's Android OS v4.2 (Jelly Bean) and can connect via wifi, so should be ok.

    The Huawei Ascend Y300 is a better phone for another fiver (Sorry that should read Y330)

    £25 + £10 top up at Carphone Warehouse or (£19.99 if you qualify for an upgrade)

    Also £35 at Sainsburys

    The Carphone Warehouse phones are likely to be unlocked

    good find, it looks far better than the argos one and even has gps so may get one myself as a spare to put the MobileXpressions offer on for 500sb

    Thank you for this. I will be using the phone purely for swagbucks as I have another phone for everything else but I will take a look at this.

    This is probably a really stupid question but do you have to keep topping up the android phones each month with further credit?
    I have an old iphone that can be used with no credit for Internet uses etc, is android like this?

    The phones that have been linked to are PAYG so the answer is no, just make sure whichever one you buy is PAYG and only use wifi and not 3G data
