Ok, so I got the iPad, now we need a mobile phone for idiots. Which do you think would be the best one to use just for informing each where we are etc. Don't really need photos, emails etc.
Many thanks

Can only suggest you take a look around . places like Tesco and Sainsbury do phones and if you only want a PAYG one you can get one with no Sim so you can hook up to any PAYG supplier.

My hubby has a basic Nokia and is reg with Family Mobile . he put £10 on to start and the phone automatically tops up when the balance is around £3 This has no time limit you could take 1 month or 12 months to use the units They supply a free SIM too

Personally I like Samsung phones but it's all a personal choice .

Would say though get one you can switch Bluetooth on or off whichever make you choose

Mine is a Doro, with an O2 PAYG sim card. I put £10 in to start it off and it lasts for 6 months. Provided I spend something in that time, the 6 months starts again. I have had it about a year and spent £2.25 so far.

I bought it at the Carphone Warehouse, where they were very helpful.
