Help on phones?

[bartholomew]

Hi guys!

I am not good at mobile phones so hoope you can help me. My phone was stolen yesterday, but luckily it did not have the chip inside it. Now what I need is a new phone in which I can use my old Virgin chip. I do not know which one to buy so I can do that. Can you offer any help? (All i need is to receive phone calls and send smss (no thills).

Nokia have brought the 1100 out, its like the old phones with the green and black screen

if you have a computer exchange near you your should be able to get one sim free and unlocked

As long as you get one that's unlocked, you can use your old "chip" (SIM card). If all you need is the most basic phone, are there any friends or family who have old spare phones that they don't use?
I think I have several - if you can guess my gmail address you can have an old nokia

Failing that buy a cheap one :

No problem if you buy your phone from Virgin. http://www.virginmobile.com/mobile/

Otherwise buy an unlocked or sim free phone from somewhere like car phone warehouse
