    That phone is so poorly speced it should not be sold

    The specs look OK for a budget phone

    And the basic Vodafone smart phone for €19.99

    They didn't even ask me about switching, just gave me a new SIM pack with it, no questions asked. That's some bargain for a fully functioning brand new (basic) smart phone.

    The smart 4 turbo for 40 is out of stock

    They're a nice phone at that price,had one before

    The VF phones are only worth the discounted price here

    If you think that's cheap the UK networks are basically giving low spec smartphones away for free now, EE do a 3.5in Alcatel with similar spec to that Vodafone model for £2 with £20 top-up, basically a free phone if you try their network for 2 months.

    They seem to have jacked up the price of the better models to offset the higher switching
    discount

    That's still £22

    I didn't want to sign up, just wanted to get a new phone for my Mother-in-law whose phone broke. No questions asked, didn't have to show identification, was just given the brand new phone and an activated SIM. Put my Mother-in-law's SIM in the new phone and was working straight away. Not bad for €19.99 :)

    Yes, if you're happy with portrait mode, no accelerometer.

    Vodafone smart prime 7 is good value for 60

    There's an iphone 5c for 140(like new) -may suit someone

    Other than that i can't see much of value

    It's a vodafone branded phone. Will hardly be unlocked now, will it? And sold below cost price? :p
