    There are good Android smartphones for under £100. Search the board for 'huawei' and 'zte'.

    Would recommend you include "moto g" in that search too

    Comes in and out of stock quite regularly - else try in store

    That's an amazing price for the Huawei. A smartphone for under a tenner, and believe it or not you get free delivery and also £5.25 by going through Topcashback! But note it says You can currently only upgrade on O2, Vodafone and Virgin Media networks. Why would this be if the phones are unlocked?

    Sadly, CPW are up to their old tricks. Click on the Lumia 435 and you'll find that it's actually £14.99. I ordered a Lumia on Black Friday but it never arrived, although my money wasn't taken. When I phoned to complain they couldn't offer any explanation, but offered me the phone for £25 instead of the £15 advertised.

    How can you have a PAYG "upgrade"? If you aren't in a contract it's just a PAYG.

    It's clearly not true,as they have more than those networks listed. I used a T-Mobile SIM. Forgot about Cashback though.
    Bit dopey that they've put the phones up to £14.99 on clickthrough. I got my Lumia for £9.99. It's good.

    How can you upgrade a phone rather than a contract?
