There are cheap pay as you go phones for sale in Tesco, £13.30 I think the Tesco one is pay as you go on 'Tesco mobile' So that means it might be locked onto the Tesco network? Could we put our Austrian sims in them? Need to talk or an eleven year old, they know these things.
The advantage of new Nokia phones is everyone knows how to text with em. and there’s bound to be a few car chargers about.
I thought about using Ebay to buy a phone but we might have to buy three to get two good ones...
