The cheapest phones are 1p+£10: http://www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk/payg-mobile-phones?all=1&sortOrder=orderByMakeModelName&price=0-9.99
£7.57 cashback through TCB.
The phone will be almost definitely unlocked and can be used with any sim. You can sell unwanted sim with credit on e-bay.

Similar deals are available at mobiles.co.uk, e2save and CPW.

I am one of the few people in this world who do not own a mobile phone but feel I now need to join the club. I only require the phone as an emergency measure and not to use regularly so thought a pay as you go phone would be best for me. Can anyone please advise me on which one to get please or give me any more advice. Thanks.

For a phone see the post above yours. £1+£10 phone is available from mobiles.co.uk. £4.90+£10 - from e2save. Don't forget about cashback.
For a simcard see:
SIM only or PAYG advice/recommendations please
payg for occasional use / without monthly topup / ?

Many thanks for your help. Will have a look.

Giffgaff is definitely the best PAYG sim for occasional use - details at http://giffgaff.com/ - and has a number of benefits such as using the O2 network, free 0800 etc calls, 8ppm calls, 4p texts and credit which doesn't expire! I changed over to giffgaff some months ago and wish I'd discovered them years ago!

Thanks for that Victor will definately have a look

If you use cashback sites Quidco are currently offering £10 cashback for PAYG handsets, They currently have a Nokia phone priced at £9.99 which you have to buy with a £10 top up so you would be getting the phone for free - Details here - http://www.quidco.com/t-mobile-payg/

Also if you order a sim card via Quidco you get £1 cashback for ordering the sim and £4 cashback when you top up for the first time - http://www.quidco.com/giffgaff/

I've just sent off for a pay as go sim card for Vectone (they've been advertising on the London underground)

Deal is:

5p/ min landlines
5p/ min any mobile network
2.5p texts to any network
Free mobile internet
Free calls to other Vectone users
10p/min voicemail

Sounds too good to be true really - anyone know if there's a catch? Anyone already using them?

As you save, this does look a very attractive offer even if some of the free bits do appear to end on 31 August according to their website.

However, a bit of googling has revealed some poor reviews of the company - eg http://www.freeindex.co.uk/profile(vectone-mobile)_245597.htm

Wonder if anyone here has any first hand experience of them?
