    I bought a samsung sim free smart phone for £13.99 on amazon last week. I need a cheap backup phone.

    I haven't received it yet so can't comment on what it's like.

    Select move your number. Nice price for a spare phone. If there's some left when I get off work I'll see if I can find an old sim card to switch.

    Nothing smart about that phone as far as I can see. Looks like the description is completely false to me, correct me if I'm wrong.

    Ordered this on Monday night and it arrived today. Grand cheap smartphone. Just buy a tesco sim for €1 and port that over to get the €20 off. Also, €20 cash back from fatcheese when porting numbers, so phone could potentially cost just €9. My cash back is tracking at the moment, whether it ever processes or not, we shall see!

    €29 is a really good price!

    It was £90 in June and £85 in September.

    It's €24 from Fatcheese for a new ported connection so potentially costing only €5.
    Fatcheese haven't been giving much cashback lately though.

    includes 3 months free Spotify which is worth €30 (can be used by existing Spotify subscribers too afaik) so the phone is effectively free.

    Thread from before for the Smart Mini rather than the Smart. I'm sure the unlocking method will be similar.

    That's not a smartphone, just a phone. A backup phone for calls/texts, not much more.

    Ah thats grand, thats all I want. Im not sure what the difference between a smart phone and a phone is? I actually just wanted something tiny for bringing running - my ginormous HTC is so heavy that it actually drags my running tights down!!

    I bought the mini version a couple of months ago and got in unlocked on ebay for about €1.20. I'm guessing you'll be able to find similar codes on there for this.

    I get the following message on vodafone website when I try to port a Tesco number. I am sure what I have is a Tesco SIM.

    "We're sorry. The number entered is already a Vodafone number. We cannot switch this number to Vodafone."

    Does anyone have this issue?

    Just dug out an ancient Tesco sim I got free years ago and put it into an old unlocked mobile (you have to receive a text on the number you're porting during the checkout process) and all went through for €29, did it through Fatcheese too so will consider that a bonus, little one sorted with first phone, price point suits because it will probably get lost anyhow.
    Cheers OP ;)

    Cashback isn't really something you do for quick cash. It will take around 2 to 3 months to get the money but that is not always the case as I have transactions still processing since July and a claim processing since August!
