helpHi.Can anybody recommend a make/model of a basic P,A,Y,G O2 mobile phone? I don`t need one with internet access or lots of gadgets but a calender and alarm are essential. I only need it to contact hospital in case of emergency,as i don`t have a land-line, so looking for a really basic one that does not cost too much. I've checked out e-Bay but they are full of extra gadgets that i would never use and are very expensive. My last phone fell out of my pocket while cycling and smashed to pieces but i rescued the sim card, hoping it will still work. many thanks for your help.

After my phone went for a swim the other week I went to the carphone warehouse to get a cheap phone to use while I decided what I really wanted.
Got an unlocked phone for £2.95 which is basic but works great.
Rediculous value for money.
