Maybe just obtain a pay as you go sim which you can use in your current handset.. Unless you have an iphone.. I hear you can't remove the sim from those. Only if you are bothered about being able to send/receive pics and stuffs via phone though. Otherwise just go for a cheap pay as you go phone. |

With the cheap phones can you go on fab web site. As its good to be able to access fab on your travels in case meets don't turn up for any reason etc. I just use my regular phone. Only give out my number for meets and friends we plan on meeting again. But i won't give out Wifey.s number as i have heard of men badgering the woman once they give there number out. They can badger me all they want you can soon block there number  |

We got a real smartphone on a cheap monthly contract. We can browse Fab from anywhere, use most messenger networks like MSN and WhatsApp, and take photos to immediately submit to Fab.
Unless you plan on never ever using it, the cost of pay as you go isn't actually cheaper, long term. |

Thanks all. I use my current Smartphone for pics, whatsapp, email and fab access.
I was just after a playphone with a few minutes and texts we can use for the last bit pre-meet and lets face it most people can sent texts.
I imagine low useage |

You can remove the sim from an iphone but means not having it for like two weeks and can cost you up to a 100quid (euros btw) also invalidates apples warrenty for the handset. |

You also need to decide what you want from the phone as like someone has said, they cannot get photos on their phone and this will obviously make a difference on what you are going to get |

As long as sim is for same network for iPhone you can swap them as and when, dont have to wait two weeks, and does not invalidate warranty. You can buy a dual sim attachment from eBay so both sims can be perm used, this people can get hold of you on main number at same time as you text etc from play only number.
I use dual sim attachment with my contract sim and a pay as you go simplicity sim running side by side |

I got a cheap Nokia from a second hand shop and a sim from Poundland and topped it up with £5.
I still use my smartphone for fab and pics, but never give that number out to meets. I use the playphone for contact immediately prior to meeting. Anything else people can do through fab or email. |
