I'm after a second phone. PAYG and as cheap as possible. However it needs to support Whatsapp, which appears to rule out the cheapest options.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

What's your budget?

The Nokia C01 Plus at £65 definitely falls in to the cheap as chips category and seems to review well enough.

Probably about £50, but the cheaper the better!

Cheers! I'm genuinely shocked at the value of these things for around £30. They've still got touchscreens, cameras, internet, etc. I thought I'd be looking at double the price.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

Interesting option. Is it easy to change your number onto a new PAYG phone?

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that, but I'll be keeping my existing phone and the new one will have a separate number. The new one will be used probably two or three times a year for selling cars as I hate giving out my number to strangers! I was going to use an old Nokia I've got lying around, but thought I'd be better off using something that does Whatsapp.

Very.

Can put your current SIM in the new phone or transfer your current number to the new SIM which can usually be done by sending a couple of texts.
