I clicked the link, scrolled down to the specs and there's another item for £49.99 and my brain made me think it was £49.99 despite what you said. I've had a serious chat to my brain about jumping to conclusions, currently he's in a strop with me and we're not talking..

Aren't the 2G networks being switched off soon?

Hope not, when my phone can't get a 4G or 3G signal it drops to edge/GPRS etc, which happens regularly, even in central Manchester. When venturing out further , in the countryside for example I'm very lucky to get GPRS, why would they shut down the 2G networks for people who live in these areas and its all they can get?

Still waiting for every phone to support VoLTE and all the networks to do likewise, agreeing on one standard. Realistically that's at least 5, possibly 10 years away. Until then we're keeping 2G to make calls on.
