INSTORE only. No longer able to check stock or reserve through Argos usual means ?
A basic solid phone, not smart nor waterproof but does the job of calling and texting backup, glovebox, kids or older who just need a phone. Radio/mp3 player & micro sd expandable memory.

Never miss a call, even when on silent, thanks to the LED indicator on the outside of the handset.

24gb internal? That's a lot of text message storage space.

Incredible even £5 as an FM radio and MP3 player but I have a few old phones that can do this.

In Perth store screens it's under sim free as is most Payg phones, only 3 under Payg tab.
Screen says nothing in store screen about £10 top up, asked and was told £4.99 no top up needed.
Apparently certain stores stock now can't be reserved in anyway than arrive and check instore ? And this is one of them items. Which is strange as I got the option to reserve logged into Argos site ?

sounds daft in this day and age but I was looking for a cheapo FM radio and MP3 player for work. instead of using phone battery etc and this for a fiver is a great buy.
everything I need and a backup phone.
great.

Just a pain you can't order into store, you have to go into store to order.

This is because you need to top-up with £10 before you can buy this phone at £4.99

Have you tried their sim's? I've never heard of them but I need something for a cheap payg option for my retired Father - it's pretty much just for incoming calls but I'd like to have it so a couple of calls dont eat through all of his credit! I tried the 3 payg sim in his Alcatel 2012g and it wouldn't work - then I found that it's a network issue with these "non smart" phones.
Their prices seem the same as the 321 payg sim from 3, but there's also a refer a friend option, so if anyone out there uses their network, feel free to pm me and you can get the referral credit!
EDIT - ignore that - I was just on the phone to their "customer service" department (which just sounds like a rather uninterested bloke on his mobile, and it's actually a mobile number!) and those prices are only for existing customers from 2014!

Perfect to snap in half and drop into a roadside bin like they do in films.
Talkmobile (Vodafone) has 10p for 60 mins calls, I have it in my 2nd phone for anytime my iphonEE fail me a signal

Nope, only for old, existing customers! Sneaky ****.
Are you an existing customer who joined before 1st October 2014? You can now enjoy our exclusive rates by sending ‘D123’ to 345. For standard call charges if you joined on or before 1st October 2014, Click Here.
That would be handy but voda's coverage is hopeless near me

Ge Alcatel 2045 is 3G for 3 sim circa £10-20 it goes for
Reading that it is for old customers to opt in to newer pricing, all new sims are 321 rates already

I spoke to the "customer service" dept (the random on his mobile) and he said those discounted prices are for existing customers only.

Got the old man on it as a dog walking/spare phone he joined 2015 on 321 rates. I thought they had changed current plans when you mentioned it but it's only a opt out of the higher rates for those who ask for the 321 plan, sneaky as hell I say!
When you click on rates in their website it says 321

Doro 615 springs to mind but the latest at Argos is Doro 6520 £79.95, it's not locked to any network.
