    [FONT=&quot]I!!!8217;m looking for a Nokia mobile that takes a micro sim. I want a Nokia as I need the layout where you just press a key to accept and/or end a call instead of having to swipe as my current smartphone does. I want a sim free phone as I can then just transfer my Three PAYG micro sim card.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]My current smartphone seems to have trouble answering a call when I swipe and can take ages to respond, meaning a call may be dropped, so I want to revert to the older way of doing things. I!!!8217;ve given up on smartphones !!!8211; no more swiping for me.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]But the screen must be at least 2.4 inches or I won!!!8217;t be able to read it.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]It doesn!!!8217;t have to have wi-fi or any !!!8220;bells and whistles!!!8221; but it must have a camera. All I really want is to be able to call and text and take the odd picture. However, I don!!!8217;t really want anything too cheap as they often don!!!8217;t last, so a price between £30 and £60, or just over, would be about right.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]BTW: It doesn!!!8217;t have to be a Nokia but there the only ones I!!!8217;ve found with the layout keys that I like. I!!!8217;ve been looking on the net, but to no avail, so I wonder if anyone can give me suggestions?[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Thank you.[/FONT]

    Nokia's almost legendary 150 single sim or dual sim, 2G, 2.4" screen, mini-sim. Expensive on eBay, 30 quid almost everywhere else but Argos might have it for £9.99p if your local store has it or can order it for you.

    I took a look and see it's Vodafone. That's not a carrier I'd use again after having been with them previously. Same thing with Virgin Mobile - I wouldn't use them again either. In fact the best coverage where I live is either Three (who I'm with) or EE. These days I always prefer to get a SIM free phone so I can choose.

    Great basic phone, but 2g only so no use to the OP who has a Three sim.
