I got one as a backup/spare but my daughter lost her phone so my grand daughter is using it and is delighted with it. £20 for Vodafone to unlock

If you plan to buy, unlock and put in a different sim, then look elsewhere.

Guessing isn't really clever. These are a b**** to unlock
This or Motorola moto E? currently £40 on upgrade.

if you can get the upgrade and afford a tenner more, the Moto E would be a no brainer. However not everyone can get the upgrade and this is 25% cheaper so its like comparing apples and pears. Alright not quite apples and pears, Tesco finest apples with Lidl apples.

Moto E has a crap camera and no flash, good luck taking a picture on a night out.

I'm currently using this phone as a warranty replacement from Vodafone.
It's not awful, but if you do have the chance, I'd go for the Moto E.
I've got a handful of apps installed, and it's full. I have a 16gb memory card as well, and most can't be moved to it.
Also... the GPS if awful on it. I went for a 4 mile run the other day, and it recorded it as 4.5 miles, it jittered all over the place.
RE the screen, coming from an LG G3 I'm probably spoiled, but it's pretty crappy.
For the money it's not a bad spare, but don't expect anything awesome.
Just my 2 cents, and YMMV, but I can't wait for my G3 to come back!!

Oh, and the camera is God Awful! Worst I've ever used on a phone.
My HTC Magic was better!!

Good if you have a Vodafone sim, but yes no cheap unlock for this - shame but thats life
Small memory but some can manage on around 1.5gb - disable some of the google apps to stop them updating & hogging memory

I have this phone as a spare. Came in use whilst we were on Vodafone, but now on EE so only use is for kids on journeys to play games, as there is no unlocking procedure.........or is there........

Hi All, Just my 2cents on this. No problem with Sainsbury's Mobile, but I had two of these from them at this price and I sent them back on after the other, as first one was DOA and the second one kept on rebooting ramdomly. If you get a good one, then great, but if not you might be worth looking around for some of the other cheap phones which are new rather than these refurb ones. As I say, just my experience, but Sainsbury's were great and sorted it out straightaway.

don't buy if you expect to unlock.....the codes on eBay are for the Mini, not the Turbo.

Don't buy if you are looking to install any apps on it.
You will only going to get just over 1.2GB which will quickly be filled by Google Updates.

Good point. Some phones do not let you more apps to an SD card so become full very quickly. Stupid design flaws.
