I'm not sure if this is a glitch but the Nokia 215 is currently only £9.99 at Argos - although it claims you need to purchase £10 top up which will be automatically added to the transaction - I found that this doesn't happen though so you get the phone for £9.99 (you may even get the airtime included when you collect)
Firstly this is not going to rival a iPhone 6 or equivalent Android device.Yes it's pretty limited and runs an old Series 30+ OS, however for a very cheap festival/holiday/burner/spare phone with 1 month battery life this is pretty cheap considering you get facebook/twitter/browser apps, microSD slot, bluetooth, mp3 player, camera/video, FM radio & torch.
This won't work in every country in the world so it's worth checking if that's the intended use.Also not sure about unlocking but I'd imagine this can be easily & cheaply done.
Technology Product description / spec
The Nokia 215 is the perfect combination of simplicity with just the right amount of whizz to keep you connected. If you're more of a talker and texter, but still want to check out Facebook and tweet, then this is the one for you as it's got an Opera Mini Browser built in. The polycarbonate shell is robust so it can cope with the rough and tumble of everyday life. What's more, there's a torch and FM radio built in - handy!

Do you reckon you could configure an email client on this?

The wiki page suggests it has 1 - however I'm not convinced this is accurate as I can't find any other sources confirming it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_215

Just to confirm, I picked this up today (via fasttrack) and no topup was required.

use 'fastest way' to pay as it says online then go to fast track counter when you pick the phone up you will get a code to your email address and your current mobile.

From the link I could read this review ... Can someone confirm if they have managed to pick up the phone without the top-up??
Despite being advertised and reserved at £14.99 I would have HAD to buy £10 credit to purchase the phone making it £24.99. This was not stated it had to be done, only advised. That is not clearly stated AT ALL. Why would I want a top up voucher when all I needed was the phone. I would have put my sim card in the phone which I pay a monthly subscription from Virgin.
