Evolveo have a good reputation though I've not used any of their stuff myself.

Though to be honest my approach would be to just buy a handful of £15 Nokia 105s or similar and treat them as disposables.

Beware that the £15 Nokia 105 is 2G only, while at the moment that only stops it working on the Three network, you are "painted into a corner" with regard to coverage and overseas roaming and it's not future proof as eventually 2G will be turned off in the UK (as many countries have already done).

None of this might matter, especially given the throw away price.

We've used these B2100 handsets at work for the past seven years and have had mixed success with them. Some have been okay and work reasonably well, others have been incredibly fickle, especially with switching themselves off for no apparent reason (mine was one of those that kept switching itself off and I swapped the SIM card to a Nokia C1-01 that is less bulky, more reliable and just as tough).

Generally, I would say that the're not well liked and personally, I wouldn't spend a ton of money on one.

Better perhaps to do as another poster suggested and get a cheap Nokia for example at a tenth of the price.
