Need a mobile phone

[lankeela]

I have managed to get gravy in my phone (don't ask) and need a cheap new phone. I am on a contract and got a better deal by not upgrading my phone, so just need to buy a cheap one to use. They all seem to be contract or pay as you go included, so where is the best place to get just a phone (and what are the chances of my sim card fitting/working after its gravy bath?)

If you get any phone on the same network, you can just put in your current sim card and it should work fine.

As said in another thread, the phone itself is just a generic item - everything you need is on your sim, so by putting it in another phone, you should be fine.

Like i said, put the sim in a phone on the same network or an unlocked phone.

Just remember to keep the phone away from any fluids!

Thanks, was bringing some gravy home for the dogs from work, and it spilled out in the carrier bag the phone was in. This is not the first time, I did it once before with a pint of milk.
I tried drying it out but it is totally dead.

If you were to buy this sim free/unlocked for £18.99 ... http://www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/5188130/c_1/1|category_root|Technology|33006169/c_2/2|33006169|Mobile+phones+and+accessories|33008085/c_3/3|cat_33008085|Mobile+phones|33016130.htm

It would solve the sim card issue, as you could just slot your sim into it.
CEX are buying them in at £15.00 at the moment, so f you can manage to keep your dinner out of it, you may get some money back after you have used it.
