Hi

Looking to save some pennies

I want a mobile phone that literally does calls and texts , no music , pictures , Internet etc

I type `mobile phone` into ebay and well , how do i know what phone will be best ?

I am on 3 for £9.90 a month but surely i can better that somewhere , with someone , especially as wont be needing any data

Years ago , you used to be able to get a sony ericsson phone that you could drop , bash etc and it would survive , easily , anyone know what this phone was called?

Thanks
Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

  • Nokia 105 - with a dust and splash resistant keyboard. It's meant to be a tough phone.

    It's not a smartphone; only has FM radio.

    Well, with their 2p/text and 3p/min Three are the best for pure PAYG, but you'll need a 3g phone. Most cheap basic phones don't have 3g.
    Delight Mobile offer the same prices on EE signal and will work with a 2g phone.

    If you don't mind a redemption contract you can get this phone with 500 minutes on a 24 months' contract essentially for free after redemption and TCB:

    Apparently it's waterproof and unsinkable.

    Or you can just buy it sim-free for £39.
