Work Phone

[Stephanie]

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note but I need another phone for work (touch screen but not to expensive - around £100 / £150), up to now I have looked at htc Desire £115, any suggestions please ?

 

[boohbah]

the desire c is free with a £7.50 per month (18 month)contract with tesco mobile, we got out teenagers them recently.
which works out at £135 but 18 months credit/ data/ and texts also.

edit: just checked its a 24 month contract. so would be £45 more but 24 months credit etc.

Contract is defiantly the way to go especially if you have a lot of friends on the same network .. It can actually work out a lot cheaper than buying a new mobile

 

[boohbah]

tesco do a perks thing where they give you almost the same credit deal again to select tesco numbers, ie family and friends with tesco mobiles also.
so the two teenagers and their mum have tesco mobile and when my orange contract is up i will be getting one also.

What network do Tesco use ? The only trouble with living down here is the mobile networks that work.

Just goes to show how we're are being ripped off here in South Africa. The same deal goes for about R400 here. That's about £25...

joan, tesco mobile use the same coverage checker as o2,

had a general check for Pembrokeshire and the coverage is for voice ,text and email.
no 3g

you can stick your post code in here and see a better result...
O2 Coverage Maps - Mobile Phone Reception Signal for the UK O2 Network
best you could do is go into a local tesco that sells phones and get them to check

No it's not very good for me might be OK outdoors but it's patchy indoors and only 2G. Around us is very hit and miss for most networks but I have Vodafone here and that's good for me inside and out plus it's 3G.

Orange didn't used to be too bad but was a bit patchy indoors.

If you're on the bus and go through the next village which is 2 miles away through part of it there's no signal at all and if you want one you've got to go to the top of the headland.

OH yes I can definitely be down there if I want.

Seriously though I'm in a village down on the East coast of South West Wales, the Atlantic ocean is only a couple of miles by road, or a 20 minute walk down the back lanes.

How about HUAWEI?
cheap, of course and very practical

 

[boohbah]

shame about the coverage joan, perhaps it will get better someday, when i first moved to my location there was only a decent signal with orange now most networks are fine.

Got my htc today, G3, ice cream sandwich, and very happy with it

You can also try this. It's also a good memory cleaning app.
