| 5 --[ New dumb phone at last, it cost £11.50 but came with £10 credit. | |

| 8 I have been on the search for a true dumbphone for a long time now [0], … | |
| 9 best I could achieve, without spending a small fortune, was running | |
| 10 a Nokia 2.3 smartphone with a minimal launcher which I paid £60 for. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 | |
| 13 Normally I try my best to get stick to older and low-tech hardware, with | |
| 14 3G being turned off already by Vodaphone, Three and then EE by 2024, its | |
| 15 just making that harder. On this occasion I splashed out and spent | |
| 16 £11.50, technically though it was £1.50 since it came with £10 worth … | |
| 17 credit, yup half the price of a overpriced coffee. On the retailers | |
| 18 product page it says that £10 will be added to your basket to cover the | |
| 19 price of the credit but it doesn't so the total should £11.50 instead of | |
| 20 £21.50! Lets be honest though, that's still quite cheap. | |

| 23 Before I tell you where, the phone in question is a Nokia 105 4G. | |
| 24 Features are limited to a music player, the radio and snake - that all | |
| 25 really. This is what it looks like too: | |

| 37 Total belter right? Unfortunately the best place to check it out is over | |
| 38 on good old http [1] protocol. It's good so far, it has dual sim so | |
| 39 I was able to put in my existing simcard as well as the freebie that was | |
| 40 included. It also has a slot for an microSD upto 32GB which I have used | |
| 41 to load up on music. | |

| 44 So where can you grab this bad boy from? Argos UK [2] go fill your boots | |
| 45 while it lasts! | |
