Phones that I can get for nothing-ish

Are there any mobile deals that I can get a phone for nothing-ish? Im thinking below £30, but it doesn't have to be a top phone, I just fancy a cheap change from my 7250i! I particularly fancy something with a large screen. I have a PAYG contract with O2, but I don't mind having a contract I can ignore!

Any such items about?

    Not really, there are a few differant ways to get phones free/cheap, payg you wont get anything better than 7250i you might get a basic nokia black and white screen 1100 i think but ide keep the 7250i, or you could go for one of the deals in e2save/onestopphoneshop/link/carphonewarehouse where they offer you a free phone with free line rental BUT you cant ignore it you have to claim cashback in order for you to get it free and have a monthly outgoing of about £30 or for the better phones most can be got on contract pretty much free but paying £30 + a month with no cashback. Hope this helps.

    A cashback deal might be an option. You pay the usual network tariff then at various points throughout the year you get a cheque back from the retailer. With some you end up getting back the same as you paid out, so the contract and phone are effectively free.

    https://www.mobileshop.com
    https://www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk

    and others do cashback deals.
