Crap Phone Club

[*Bob*]

My Nokia 2330 (free) is coming to the end of it's contract (?4.99 / month).

What's my next step?

What's the must-have crap phone of 2013?

[maxxi]

Must be this (my pride & joy) -

The Samsung gt e1080 - plastic, light, no radio or internet or, well, anything. ?15 on payg at Sainsbos (so maybe on a contract they'd pay you?)

*disappointed to have misread this and find out nothing about crab phones...

ETA: wait though - your nokia had a camera so this may be a step too far into the dark...

[Mick Mac]

Cmon Bob, step up.

[*Bob*]

64g of rock-bottom no-frills basic phone action. That's GOT to be hard to beat.

I salute you.

How much are people on payg paying a month these days?

[the-e-dealer]

Colour Screen - thats not rubbish

[woodrot]

waterproof, yellow screen, 20 text messgae memory, a thermometer. and a stopwatch. thats it.

mazuma offered me ?0.00 for it

[Gingerbeer]

OK Ive had some wine, but that made me laugh woodrot. Still snuffling a bit.

[*Bob*]

A thermometer?

You don't even get that with an iPhone.

[woodrot]

TBH,I didnt know either, I looked at the spec. on the site to discover this.

[maxxi]

Thermometer!? Oral or... ambient?

@SJ - depends, sometimes I don't top-up for many weeks... I am more receive than transmit.

[maxxi]

this is more what I had in mind...http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSyUlR7mmYZ6I5_za_xUGGpfCOWBedTHnqYnCMjWOp60BK4mbE4

Payg - It's a bit like asking for ?20 of four star. To some people the price of petrol never changed. It was always ?20.

[the-e-dealer]

Nokia lumis. 2 hour battery life. And earpiece doesn't work. Also mike keeps cutting out so no phone calls. You don't have to go retro or cheap for a crap phone.

[Annette Curtain]

Off grid's the way to go *Bob*

Can you still get pagers ?

[*Bob*]

I've still got one.

I wonder if it still works?

It was only one-up from asking potential clients to give you three rings though really.

[david_carnell]

We still have a fax machine at work (civil service). No idea when the last time anyone used it or received anything. But it made the office move with us last week.

I had to read this a few times. Got it now.

[StraferJack]

I was going to say something like "helluva fax machine you got there DC"

[*Bob*]

Things got a bit out of hand at the office party.

Ah, everybody fiddling with their Palm Pilots?

[Annette Curtain]

I had a pager for years

Well dodgy look tho

"I want x 50 of the 'Pink Records' for friday nite"

(mine was see through blue)

[Salsaboy]

In the 80's when I was on call for IT support I had a pager. Then mobile phones were invented and we had to carry around something the size of a small suitcase instead.
