    fluffyscruffy did you mean a simfree as like what glad thinks you mean or did you just mean a phone that will take one of the o2 simcards? cos thats the way i took it you meant, not a simfree phone. just curious cos i am after a o2 camera phone also on payg
  • Thanks for the replies Glad and barjam.
    It doesnt have to be sim free as long as it can be unlocked if anyone has any ideas?
    As the phone is for a 12 yo who is prone to leaving things on the bus etc I dont want to be spending much more than £100.

    Have you checked Argos website and in store? There are some cheapish flip phones there. I'm not up on how easy it would be to unlock them, though. Argos Special Offer Mobiles
  • Superdrug have 2 flip phones on the 3 network.

    the lg8120 for £64.99 (my mate has got his unlocked for a tenner and is using vodafone no probs!)  

    and an NEC 338 phone for £54.99 (not sure if this can be unlocked !!)


    These both come with a 3 SIM card with £15 of credit so somebody might have the SIM card off you ??

  • Thanks!Any idea where to get the LG phone unlocked?

    This one looks nice and is already on o2 so no unlocking necessary.
