All at ASDA. I presume Tesco will do the same.
These are all locked though, I want an unlocked one.2025 starting April and 2 adults: £257; £255; £243;

Don't you have a relative who always needs to have the latest phone? Get their old one for free, you can usually unlock them or just get a PAYG SIM on whatever network it's locked to and transfer your number to it.LiveSimply wrote: »Hi, I don't particularly understand mobile phones other than I want a cheap (£5 or £10 if possible) unlocked (because I want to go with giffgaff for £5 a month) phone. I have looked on a couple of websites but they all seem to be linked with a provider eg Tesco mobile, EE, something like that. Does what I want exist? And where can I get it? Thanks.
I haven't purchased a mobile in years, currently using OH's old HTC and now she wants to replace her Galaxy S3, so that'll do me.
