    I got this phone from play for 8.99 was meant as a back up, tbh could do with going in the bin. Remember your very 1st mobile phone how basic it was well this is worse :D its only redeeming feature is that untill you turn it on it looks like a sleek non flip version of my Razr v3, because the buttons look the same, if you buy this phone dont use it in a public place unless you want to be laughed at :D

    Now that's insecurity.
  • Just to point out it is only 300 points for recycling you phone with Tesco:
    http://www.tesco.com/greenerliving/what_we_are_doing/green_clubcard_points/default.page?
    Don't know if it used to be 500
    You may get cash and points if it is a certain model(need to look on the site to find out which ones qualify the Motorola f3 doesn't)

    There is also a limit of 5 phones a year.
  • There are still a large number of 500 pt phone envelopes floating around, just make sure you draw their attention to it when you send the phone off.

    What kind of tube laughs at someone because of the phone they use? Worse, what kind of person worries that some tube will laugh at them because of the phone they use?
