FOAK: Mobile advice

I'm finally considering getting a mobile. Normally I borrow it from her
indoors, but she's more often than not, well, outdoors. I only need a
PAYG job with Orange, but I have no idea where to buy one (apart from
those high street shops, which I assume to phones are like PC World for
computers). I want to spend as little as possible but get something
fairly small and light. It does not need to have an inbuilt torch, PDA,
MP3 or anything. Just a basic address book and easy to use UI.

What to get and where to get it?

 

Anything Nokia from a supermarket

Not sure I would want to give you the number. It was bad enough when Iain
had his txt to email thing going. Although I could reciprocate I suppose.

 

You mean those places that the misses goes to get food?

 

If you seriously aren't interested in anything fancy I have an old Siemens C35 with a brand new
orange sim you can have. email your address and I'll stick it in the post.

 

Oooh ta, the price is certainly right.

 

What to get and where to get it?

One and the same.

 

Strewth, that's extremely nice of you. Is that because you bought a new
phone and swapped sim cards over? How would I register it?

 

Its an old phone that has been superseeded about 4 times now. Its just
lying around taking up space. To register just follow the instructions in
the sealed Sim pack.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Switters belched forth and ejected the following:

Have a look on the phones4u website. Last time I looked they had cheapo,
SIM free phones for less than thirty quid.
