Title: Which phone? Post by: Sark79 on May 11, 2006, 09:37:34 PM I am going to buy a mobile phone tommorow. I have used one twice in my life, so don't really understand them that well. In the past I have always just shouted or I send a letter if I needed to contact someone. I watched a friend use one of these things the other day. It seems like a cool new invention. So I am going to get one. What kind should I get?. I don't want anything fancy and would prefer to be able to insert money into it when I need it. I met an old man while out on my bike a few weeks back, I was trying to fix my brake at the time. He said " Son you need to buy yourself a mobile and call AA ". He then went on to tell me about his phone and why I shouldn't sign up to a company because it was a rip off. Thanks .. Title: Re: Which phone?

Most Nokias are very easy to use. If you want to use it outside of the UK then make sure you have international call bars lifted before you travel. I have a contract and pay £15 a month, for that I get the latest free phone which is upgraded every 18 months and 2 hours of free talk time each month. Shop around for the best deal to suit you.

You buy a sim card for £1 and get £21 free. If you buy a phone as well, you will get even more free credit.

I have got a pay as you go, as I dont use mine very much,I just put £10 in it when i have run out of credit!! A few of of the young lasses at work have been stung big time by contract phones and ended up with big bills they cant pay because they have used up all there free texts and phone calls and just kept using them... shelly xx Title: Re: Which phone?
