Hi

Just wondering what is the cheapest basic phone you can buy?

I went into a carphone warehouse and they want €40 for a basic handset but you don't get any free call credit.

Basically a friend of mine is coming to Ireland for a few weeks and he's a complete technophobe, he asked me to pick up the cheapest pay as you go phone I can find so he can make and receive calls and send the odd text message while he's here. Nothing fancy required.

Would Tesco be the place to look? I know they're doing phones now.

I haven't bought a phone for a long time so was just hoping to get some help with this, thanks.

(sorry about the title typo - won't let me edit it.)
 
The post office have a basic phone for 34 euro with 10 euro free credit . Buy instore or online .
Do any of your family or friends have any old phones lying around if so you will only need a new sim card .

Well it's because I'm at work and most of those sites are blocked. And I've just moved house so I've no broadband connection at the moment.

I don't have any old phones I could use unfortunately.
 
Could they not use their own phone and just buy a local sim card - i thought O2 or Tesco were selling them for a fiver.
 
Ask your friend to ring his network and check if it is SIM locked.

If not, he can just get a pay as you go SIM card here.
 
Just to note...
