Cold - because on said night out I will not be able to take pics of the food I'm eating and posting them on social media.

Buy loads, make calls in public, then drop them in a nearby bin in full view of passers-by - and everyone will think you're a spy!

Or maybe a terrorist - so maybe not such a great idea after all.

Great bought it to prank my 12 year old who is getting his first phone for Christmas.. Can't believe it's free next day delivery. Bonus. I'll give him his iPhone 5s to open after lunch after he has finished sulking!

Yay!!
... though the picture of your mates would probably look like this:

Polyphonic ringtones? (crosses fingers) :sunglasses:

Very pleased with it, but no simple unlock methods by the looks of it

English culture at it's best.. A good night out means potential losing a phone! Good one!

Did you throw away your last one?

back in stock...just ordered one just now!

​you could try a Tesco Mobile SIM for less money, or giff gaff perhaps.

Being so used to smartphones, I found it quite difficult to work at first! I mean, I didn't even know how to turn it on or insert the SIM card!

Did anybody else experience the same? I found the user manual online (PDF) & was a lot better after that.

I wish I could top-up with £5 instead of £10, but the phone itself being only £1.99 (thanks op), it doesn't hurt too much. Also a cheap unlock would be nice.

A lovely phone indeed for the money, seems putting £10 is optional if you want to stick in a giffaff sim instead...

Thank you very much:)

in stock again

In stock again - its a great phone for the price

Received my one just moments ago and as i opened up the box it took me by surprise with its size and metallic feel of the back! I was expecting a smaller plasticy phone :laughing: even my wife who has a was surprised and asked to see if it can be unlocked, but there doesn't seem to be any unlock codes available to buy and unlock :disappointed:

Received mine today, it's so much value. The phone is actually really good like top end features for a none smartphone. E.g. FM radio that doesnt need headphones and Bluetooth (can even play radio through the bluetooth). Then its got handy torch, camera that can zoom and other useful apps like currency converter

Thanks !

That will never happen! Try reading the rest of the posts!

Really don't get why people like to disappoint children on purpose. Surprise them, sure, but there's nothing nice about making them feel rubbish first.

iPhone 5s for a 12 year old - well on his way to being a spoilt brat by the sound of it. Madness!

Great little phone. Radio works without headphones plugged in, and supports HD Voice.

Oos :/ I wanted 2

Perfect for drug dealers

​Are you sure it was this phone.... 20.45x?

Heat from me. Got this phone on a similar deal from tesco where you brought the phone for £14.99 and they give you a £10 topup which gets subtracted from your bill making it £4.99. Use it all the time for festivals and nights out, just swap my normal sim in whenever its needed.

If you don't need the functions of your smart, clever mobile phone when you are out and about why buy it in the first place? There's no point having a mobile computer if you don't use it while you are mobile.

Just buy a phone like this and use a laptop or desktop at home.

A much cheaper way of doing things.

not sure id have a "night out" phone, the thoughts of a cheap person.

even as a batphone these days its useless as she cant send you nudes on it.

I had the same thing using Firefox 50.1.0 on Windows 10. I was only able to place an order successfully when I used my phone (Chrome browser on Android 5.1).

Check the technical specs, clearly says 3G.

Oos

I don't normally get upset at stuff like this but this is terrible for the environment treating mobiles as insta-disposable.

Jeez.

Is something like the LG K4 not much better value for £19.99? You still get the £10 top up value, but you also get a far better phone.

Out of stock

i could imagine my young sons face with this, it would be like giving him a mixed cassette tape.
"what are these buttons and why does each button have 3 letters"

next month, buy 2 pringles tins and get a free mobile

COLD - stupid culture we live in where a "good night out" means we do not know what's going on!!! CRAZY

Bang on reply - iPhones are great for youngsters as they are such a tight ecosystem you can keep control and make sure they are used safely, whereas a lot of other phones can easily be modified and bypassed. All kids have phones these days, and the iPhone 5s is 3 years old, so pretty obvious you are not buying it just for the 'street cred'.

Ignore Elevation. He's obviously far superior to everyone else and must spend his days studying fine art and musing over philosophical quandaries and would never waste his money on frivolous 'fun' items. Oh wait... all his deal postings are for video games and blu-rays... Why would anyone NEED them??!

Have a good Xmas :wink:

Haha! Completely agree and like what you said above too! Merry Christmas! :smiley:

Cheers!
His friends and cousins etc have had a phone for literally years, some since they were 6! It's not a £700 phone he's getting, it's a £170 phone, that I can afford. Jeez,I know kids who have that much spent on several pressies that get tossed aside.
I suppose Elevation rides a push bike around and doesn't give in to peer pressure and buy a car!
Happy Holidays all.

Cold from me cpw have phones at 50p on upgrade that dont require top up

F

My son is one of only 3 children in his year at school without a phone!
He is not spoiled. He doesn't NEED an iPhone, just like he also doesn't need the 6 selection boxes and the countless socks and undies and other daft gifts he will be receiving this Xmas.
I chose an iPhone, after looking for weeks for something suitable that I have some control over (using my Apple ID etc) he works hard at school and gets positively rewarded at home and only gets gifts at birthdays and Xmas (and after his SATS). He pays for everything else he gets such as games etc. from money he has in his bank account that he doesn't fritter away on sweets etc. he saves his spending money, birthday money and Christmas money and has £165 in his wallet now that has mostly been there since Easter.
Oh, and apart from his iPhone, he has 5 books and a (£10) pair of Bluetooth headphones. All of which he will be greatful for and look after. Yes he knows the value of money!
And besides, he's gonna think Santa brought them anyway.
MERRY XMAS

​Where do you go in Germany? I live 25 metres from the border (near Trier) and always use my 3 sim when visiting many different German cities.

Think you need to 'get with the times?!' Anyway, he will appreciate the value of money - give him the £1.99 phone = when you have very little money Vs give him the iphone 5s = when you have more money and buy a (older version iphone) phone perfectly suitable for a 12 year old!

OOS :disappointed:

known in Baltimore as a 'burner' therefore Hot!

Good god - why on earth would a 12 year old need an iphone? You know aside from lame peer pressure which no one should be caving in to. Way to make him appreciate the value of money :disappointed:

Lester Freamon will bring you down.

ordered 2 thanks...hot deal

i have actually got 3 of these from o2 and you dont have to buy a top with them :smiley: just £1.99 you do pick what bundle you would like and they send you a sim card and say to activate it top up by £10 .but no top up needed to buy

it's free, it's new but is't cold...

This is duplicate,

Yet this get more heat.

​Wow, you are now being monitored by some agencies I reckon. Lol

If you are getting so **** you loose your phone you might as well invest in a butt plug to protect yourself.

OMAR COMIN.

It's also a music player (With media card slot) and an FM Radio, plus to boot an LED torch. How much would you pay for a personal FM Stereo with a rechargeable battery. Got to be worth a punt, come on? Nice £2 Stocking filler.

Yes. I previously bought an O2 pay as you go phone for my daughter when hers broke as we have tesco sims on contract and worked fine.

Bah, it doesn't like me... trying to order it, but after entering my email and address, it is just showing the whirring symbol before showing the card info for payment. Tried in Chrome and IE. I'm failing :disappointed:

very tempted, but does this have nfc?

will a tesco mobile SIM work In this

I'm thinking of buying 2 of these. We go to Germany a couple of times a year and my network (3) has zero coverage over there. These would be handy for us to keep in touch (when I go shopping and he goes for a beer!) plus side 02 is huge over there.
:smiley:

can't find any cheap unlock code :confused:

Alcopops was a drink cynically targeted at teenage drinkers.

Is Alcatel a phone cynically targeted for middle age pissheads?

bought it to use as an radio/mp3 player.
p.s. did it 1 h ago but still no email confirmation.

could i use this to qualify for o2 priority deals?

As long as you don't accidentally throw the phone at a bouncer then yeah I suppose it would be handy to use on a night out!!! :wink:

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA.......BATPHONE!!!!!! NANANANANANANANANA BATPHONE!!! BATPHONE!!!! BATPHONE!!!! BATPHONE!!!!

the shame of not being able to use the endless amounts of social apps and using the soooo 20th century form of contact via text or call!! the 50/50 decision is too much to handle

not entirely sure but i remember reading somewhere this is actually 3G compatible, i stand to be corrected though.
see here http://www.argos.co.uk/product/4824330
I bought one 2 weeks ago, can only get it unlocked via professional box, like NCK dongle, IMEI unlock code don't seem to work, still for this price can't really complain about anything.

heat added,will be great for my careless daughter.

Just buying phone £1.99 with free delivery. If I choose not to top up is that ok? I have my own sim? Thanks for any help

Suitable for GiffGaff without unlocking, if on the o2 network?

Great bought it to prank my 12 year old who is getting his first phone for Christmas.. Can't believe it's free next day delivery. Bonus. I'll give him his iPhone 5s to open after lunch after he has finished sulking!

Hi, I bought 2 of them a couple of weeks ago no top up required then, just had to select a SIM tariff came with phone cheap as chips .

do you guys actually know 2G phones like this will completely finish soon? will become unusable but ok for abroad

Cold - because on said night out I will not be able to take pics of the food I'm eating and posting them on social media.

Doesn't matter what option you choose. You just pay for phone on checkout and you top up later if u wish

I bought this last week for £1.99 and traded it in CeX for £10.

Note: you only get USB cable, no mains charger

Still can't fathom out how to order without the additional purchase
(at least it is now included in the title)
Care to explain please?

Be I can guess what at HMP guests will be getting this Christmas :confused:

Anyone manage to unlock it?

bargain will do as a spare at this price for my pensioner mam.

Cold, its not a Moto G

I bought one but couldn't get it unlocked from anywhere.. works fine and loud speaker is good too. Resting in the draw at the moment :wink:

Useful if I ever have the need to recreate that scene from one of the Bourne films at Liverpool St station.

do i need it? NO. Did i order? YES

good christmas gift haha

but does it just cost 1.99 or you have to buy credit for like 10 pound

Sadly totally compatible with modern society.

Can't see how to order this without an additional purchase

Perfect dealers phone. Use and destroy.

Yay!!
... though the picture of your mates would probably look like this:

suitable and cheap enough for use as a detonator.

This phone is still an option for you - it does have a camera :smiley:

should we but the sim too?

Dont worry I actually did vote hot too.. but shh :wink:

It has a camera .

il throw one away now shall I :wink:

Buy loads, make calls in public, then drop them in a nearby bin in full view of passers-by - and everyone will think you're a spy!
