I was in a North London one yesterday and they had a display offering ZTE102 for �19.99 (no HSDPA), INQ mini and INQ1 for �29.99. Nothing new, most larger Superdrug have had those displays offering Three or sometimes T Mobile phones for at least the last 5 years. Another shop that may have them on similar displays is "Savers" http://www.savers.co.uk/ Steve Terry -- Welcome Sign-up Bonus of �1 when you signup free at: http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/G4WWK

Some of them are of very poor quality and wont hold a charge, or at least not enough to do more than just switch the phone on and then die If its not that, then if less than a year old take it back to the dealer you got it from and get a replacement or repair under guarantee.

Unlimited BT claim to have a 600 minute fair use policy. I also can't send texts. Where for �15 inc VAT its possible to have 300 minutes, 300 texts and 3GB of data. No landline can beat that.

Unlimited BT claim to have a 600 minute fair use policy. Where do you get that from? I can't see how they can get away with claiming "unlimited" calls if they restrict it to such a ridiculously low limit. I use TalkTalk and we use more than 600 mins practically every month. Sometimes well over 1000. Never had any problems. Mind you I wouldn't put anything past BT. > I also can't send texts. I send about 10 texts a month so I'm really not interested in landline texts, though it is possible and I think TT do a package. I use my company mobile at (IIRC) 3p per text. Or use email as a lot of people seem to have email on their mobiles these days. > Where for �15 inc VAT its possible to have 300 minutes, 300 texts > and 3GB of data. No landline can beat that. I prefer having 40GB data, 6Mb/s download speeds and unlimited minutes to landlines for about �18. What would that cost on a mobile? -- Andy
