This was never good value at £59.99 but halve that now and £10 credit
Spec not great but show me a £20 phone with Android 5, 1gb ram 64 bit quad core processor and 8gb memory and 4inch iPhone SE size :-) perfect for small pockets
Unlock codes on ebay £1.69
You can also use the £10 credit for 10 weeks on EE £1 weekly plans

If you want an inexpensive phone for voice/text only, you'd be better off with a Nokia from Carphone Warehouse. Very long battery life, and like all CPW handsets, they're not locked.

Any of them. If you take a look, you'll see that there are just three models available and they're all inexpensive 'feature phones'.

Is one Android though? It will be the cheaper Google foot if you check the toes you'll know :-)

I'm not tbh had a look myself.... A friend recently got on £1 weekly.... If you are on EE and text ALL PACKS to 150 it should tell you.... Or text DATA to 150

I can't see that plan on EE's website anymore. Think it might have been stopped??

If I have an EE contract that just come to an end with a kestrel phone which plays up. does anything stop me buying this taking my contract sim out and using this phone ?

No... You can put your sim in any EE phone or unlocked handset
It's out of stock at Amazon now though
Tbh mate I'd just get a Moto G if you're on budget.... A good condition Moto G around £30-40.... Or the Moto E 2nd gen for £60-70 brand new

don't compare it to crappy apple, its far superior especially its operating system :stuck_out_tongue:
There I was thinking that link was a video review of the phone!

These people are funny that pipe up and comment crap, it's missing this. They are practically giving the phone away here. Heat added.

Is this better/worse/similar to the (cheap but well liked) Vodafone First Smart 6?
nigelbutler to BrianM
11 Apr 16#18
Better... Twice as good ram. Processor and memory... Battery is still similar but 4 inch low res screen will be OK.... Android 5.1 too... Cheapy Vodafone had Kitkat
But I'd prefer Kitkat I think! Worked great on original Moto G

I bought one for my father and tried it out for a few days unlocked (ebay code on life mobile mini Sim onlydeal for £5). I liked so much I got one myself.
Pros:
Calls, emails, text and Whats app work absolutely fine. I did install an alternative keyboard but this is personal preference.
Cons. Screen is not the best. Fine for you but sharing stuff on your screen is difficult as the viewing angles are bad. Camera front and back are bad. Front is fine for sykpe call etc and you can take a picture OK but don't expect much.
All round good mobile with the latest version of lollipop, Andriod version, that can deal with OK google voice searches, load all the latest apps, Sat Nav & capable of using latest 4G networks.

As it's only 4 inch screen it's very much like the IPhone SE that's just been released
Size wise!!!!!
