I wanna cheap PAYG 'flip' phone

I said that I would shop around for one of these for my friend - she has her heart set on a flip open phone.

I thought that the Samsung E400 on Virgin was a good deal at £53.99 with £25 airtime but when I went to order it this morning, the price has gone up and the voucher is now only for £10.

She is willing to pay up to £60.

TIA

    Should've snapped at the deal when you had the oppurtunity.

    Shopping Tips
    Don't spend five pounds to dry clean a shirt. Donate it to the charity shop instead. They'll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning buy it back for two pounds.
  • If the brand doesn't matter, you can get a Nokia 2650 on Orange for just £39.99 for a limited time - https://www.orange.co.uk
