well, if you're going to get a new phone (and it's my first in 5 years) you might as well get rid of the old.
Orange shops are offering a trade in on what looks like most of their payg phones. It's only �10 (I think you might get better elsewhere) but they don't need box, charger or manual, just working phone with battery.
They've also got a limited number of cheap payg phones at �10 or �20 ish when you do the trade in. They'd run out of the cheapest today though so I've bought a �20 one (which is half the price of the phone I bought five years ago )
I'm not sure this counts for ethical, but I suppose it allows you to spend the remaining pennies on er. a compost bin or something.
I might start a poll and see how many people here have mobiles. It's one of those bits of modern life I do rather like. I barely use it, but when I have it has been very reassuring.
I'm going off Orange. I have an Orange phone but have decided to change to O2 as the reception here for Orange is really pants ( unless I prefer to send all texts from the bottom of the garden!) but Orange lock the SIM to the phone and it costs �20 to undo - I know its a security thing but... I asked them to do it and they said it would take 3-7 days -that was nearly a fortnight ago and nothings happened. I can't bear to ring them as the 'automated selection' thingy and waiting you have to do just to speak to someone is very very tedious!! I've been a good customer of theirs for years but this has put me off.
And I've been a good girl and not fallen for any up-grade talk from O2 neither - happy with the phone I've got , ta!
