I've recently seen Carphone Warehouse doing a Nokia 'pay as you go' deal for £19.95.

That sounds cheap.............

something like this

Have a look in the stores, they were doing a motorola one a while ago for £19.99

just buy a pay as you go sim card for £5 and stick it in an old phone. If you cant find a friend to lend you an old phone, then you dont have enough! (friends, that is. everyone has spare phones!)

Look up the tesco Value Sim ONLY card, £10 of calls 15ppm and 5p texts.

Cost Abouy £6.74 for the SIM
or £3 for the very value on ... UK and Text ONLY Calls NO international.

Partnered with O2.

Downside:
voice and text only. no multimedia, messaging, internet etc etc.

Excellent for a basic cheapo phone.. Just re-vitalise an old phone to leave in the car.

they do other deals as well... worth a look. especially if you have an old phone you dont use.

i have several old phones,where they are is a mystery tho,she will no doubt be "phoning home" so that idea is oot of the window,looked in tesco today,carphone whorehouse deals seem a little better tho,ta anyway
