Hi all,

My Mobile phone cannot be charged and as its a few years old I dont think I should buy a new charger. Where can I buy a cheap mobile phone.

Thank you in advance

Raz

Have a careful look around either Dick Smith or Tandy - they often have big markdowns instore on mobiles. Most phones are network locked but if you want to keep your existing SIM card, get a universal unlocker card for $5 from Deal Extreme:

  Hi tassiePete,
  
  Great help. I had no idea that I could get a universal phone locker from deal extreme. Thanks so much.
  
  Will look around dick smith or tandy for sure
  
  Thanks again

  They don't work with ALL models (I've tried 4 SIM unlockers for a ZTE and they don't work, they have with other models though), so there not universal.

Forgot to ask how to work out which phone locker to buy. I have a Nokia 1600.

Thanks

  Hi Raz, your Nokia 1600 is a DCT4 model so should be easily unlocked by code. Try the online unlock generator at www.gsmliberty.net/shop/nokia_unlock.php
  
  I've used SIM unlockers successfully with half a dozen phones. This one worked fine for me: www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25335
