Basic phone 79p! Bargain :smile:

2Megapixel camera phone here for same price on EE http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/mobile-phone-2mp-camera-79p-with-10-top-up-10-79-ee-2627179

HUKD'er comments:

muntakim - Just a heads up: the web page has an option "Or just top up" quietly hidden away at the bottom. I assume they push for you to get a pack as it uses up your credit quicker.

palcsaky - Remember £5.05 cashback through TCB or £5 back through Quidco

Quidco now giving £9 cashback for 6 days so potentially £1.79 for phone and £10 top up.

Does this have a fingerprint scanner and 80Mp camera? Also, is there a 256GB option?

I got two of these and they are awesome. Using them for voice calls and text (how quaint, I hear you say) on the ski slopes in France BECAUSE the battery lasts for ages unlike my iPhone battery and I want to be able to find out where everyone went when they left me behind

I went in store yesterday & low & behold there they are! They had plenty of stock so bought them there instead.
They also had another phone for 79p. Nor ad good battery, slightly bigger but did have a camera

Does the credit run out if not used in a month? I'm after a cheap phone for my mum to keep in her bag for emergencies. £10 would last her forever if it doesn't expire - she doesn't need text or call plans.

This is what I'm after for my Mam as well £10 would last her forever

Get phone, request unlock, order a o2 Classic payg sim 5p Min/txts, when credit is low (as pointed out its 30p a minute^) PAC the number across to o2

According to the EE PAYG terms (PDF file), one's credit & number lasts indefintely as long as one uses the phone once every 180 days.

"6.3 You must make a Connection Action* at least once every 180 days. If You do not, Your SIM Card will be disconnected from the Network and You will not be able to use the Services. You will lose Your mobile phone number and any Credit on Your Account at the time of such disconnection will be forfeited."

* 'Connection action’: an action that must be taken to maintain connection. Connection actions include by way of example only: topping up Your Account, using data and making a chargeable call or sending a chargeable text. A full list of connection actions is set out in Our booklet of Charges

Has anyone managed to top up a current sim/number? I can't see the option anywhere?

seaniboy to killerboy32

3 Mar 17 2 #68

No, it is a loss leader to suck newbies in - they may transfer it across if you call and ask nicely, play the sad face card you broke your mobile and needed a cheapo replacement & it may work, has for me in the past. :wink:

thecardiffone

3 Mar 17 #57

does anyone know if a virgin sim will work in this?

BrianM to thecardiffone

3 Mar 17 #63

Yes it will! Without unlocking it is OK for EE SIMs and for MVNOs using the EE.network

BrianM

3 Mar 17 #62

That won't work!!!!

I did that and they told me that the IMEI of the phone had to match the number in "myEE" or else the unlock would be rejected. I had to phone and tell them that the SIM associated with this number was being used in this handset.

I don't think this problem would arise if you register a SIM and phone together.

BrianM

3 Mar 17 1 #60

Ages! Over a year I think. The reason it was so long was that they charged £9.99 until VERY recently and i waited until they became free.

I forget if there are any time limits. I don't think so for PAYG phones.

Cold - Not a 3310

MR1123

3 Mar 17 #58

It hasn't been tried and tested unfortunately. But once you do it, you can call the number yourself and see if it connects.

Haggle

3 Mar 17 1 #56

Thanks Seaniboy, sounds like there's no catches when buying this then.

seaniboy

3 Mar 17 1 #55

No restriction on EE (Tesco is 12 months/£10 then free- show/email handset receipt or from first top up date if unavailable)

seaniboy

Haggle

3 Mar 17 #53

What I'm trying to find out is, can you get the unlock code straight away, or is there a minimum time you have to be with the EE network?

seaniboy

3 Mar 17 #51

Use your old EE number to unlock

https://myaccount.ee.co.uk/device-unlock/

or 0800 956 6000 opt 2, opt 2.

Haggle

3 Mar 17 #50

Thanks for the info Brian. Could I ask you, how long you had the phone, when they gave you the unlock code?

BrianM

3 Mar 17 2 #49

If you run through their hoops they will! First time they refused me as my 130 phone was not connected to my EE web-account (a requirement). Second time they supplied the wrong code - but, be be fair, when I questioned this they found the correct one.

Why would you want a 4G phone when you only have an allowance of 10MB? Sounds like the fastest cheap thrill EVA.

xfaxfa to 73greystoke

True, runnning a speed test would consume more than 10MB of data

Haggle to zzzz

3 Mar 17 1 #45

Yes but EE will unlock it, then you can use it on a network with cheaper rates. Although I take your point, at 30p a min. your £10 credit will last just 33 mins. :confused:

Thanks

not bad... literally just got my hands on my nokia 130 that i ordered from carphone warehouse. after my iphone got stolen i urgently needed a phone to keep in contact so i quickly browsed and found the unlocked (£24.99) nokia 130, being the cheapest and involving the quickest delivery.

thanks to asda mobile i'm receiving 200 mins and 2000 texts for £5 a month. don't think EE could ever beat that... do they even do a "talk and text only" bundle???

Is it £10 credit (top-up) or is it just 30day £10 package? ReplyASAP

2 Mar 17 #28

the web page has an option "Or just top up" at the bottom

BrianM

2 Mar 17 #26

It took EE a couple of goes to get me the correct code (a full 15 digit unlock code for such a cheap handset!!) - but they got it there finally

Lucky they did as unlock codes for this handset are NOT easily obtainable from 3rd parties

Joke? Come on haha :laughing:

muntakim

2 Mar 17 1 #24

Just a heads up: the web page has an option "Or just top up" quietly hidden away at the bottom. I assume they push for you to get a pack as it uses up your credit quicker. By just topping up, you can use the credit for google play purchases instead of wasting it on a pack. :smiley:

DonkeyKonk

2 Mar 17 #23

Can use the top up on the PlayStation store, I believe.

I would probably go for this if Nokia still had the iplayer app on their dumb phones, but I don't believe they do (?)

Handy device, with a decent FM radio you can use with one hand, long battery great really
