After a new phone but has to be under £100 with the following requirements:

- Can use it with an O2 PAYG SiM
- Decent camera
- Bluetooth
- No "sticky-out" aerial
- No contract or cashback shenanigans!

Any ideas?

    By how much do you roughly top-up each month?

    £10 a month to get 300 free texts - I use about this much each month + a few calls that don't go over the £10 credit so its the perfect PAYG deal for me.

    Posted by BNU last time I seen it, try this, I like the Nokia 3200 (no bluetooth though) but there is a wide choice..

    Offer is buy a Virgin Mobile phone and joining pack for connection and receive 10% discount and £20 free airtime voucher, plus £5 free airtime on your SIM card.
    Any phone returned must be with the promotional £20 airtime voucher, unused, or the full voucher value will be deducted from the normal refund amount paid to the customer.
    Above offer is only available when purchasing direct from Virgin Mobile by calling 0808 100 7878 and quoting 'Lifestyle Rewards', or by going online to visit https://www.virginmobile.com/lifestylerewards.
    Offer cannot be combined with any other offer or promotion.
    Offer available until 30th September 2005.
    Maximum number of phone purchases is 2 per person.

    Then PM Browntoa for unlock code if you wish..

    Good hunting.

    So if I understand this correctly, I can buy one of these phones, unlock it to put my O2 sim card in, then sell the Virgin SIM with the free credit?

    Yip, thats just what I done; used the £10/month o2 sim cards (see other threads) that give you free 300 text and 1Mb GPRS and of course the £10 to spend on calls..

    Just PM Browntoa with Nokia 3200 (or whatever) Virgin PAYG and the IMEI code (key in *#06# on phone to get IMEI), then fully follow Browntoa's instructions.

    :cool: ;)
