    Hi there,
    I'm looking for a reliable place to buy a unlocked mobile phone, preferably online, as I live about 4 miles outside the middle of nowhere. My current phone has a homicidal streak, and to be honest, I hate it just as much as it hates me. I got it on an upgrade, so I'm not entitled to another so soon, I just want it out of my life!

    What I want is a basic Flip/fold phone that I can put my existing sim into. I just want to make calls and text messages, nothing fancier than that. My current provider doesn't sell any, which is why I got this Samsung in the first place.

    Basically, has anyone ordered something similar online, and if so, please point me at a website!

    Thanks!

    Thanks cookie, are these sites you've personally used? I found those myself, I was more looking for a personal recommendation I think, sorry I wasn't clear enough :(

    I've bought off expansys.ie (in fact awaiting deliver of a BlackBerry 9900 from them at the moment), Ive bought phones and A Nikon D80 off Pixmania and my brother has bought off phonesonline. I've had zero problems with any of them although I find sometimes phonesonline to be a little dear although it depends on what you're buying.

    Got a Nokia N8 from amazon.co.uk. Sent it back as I changed my mind and had money back within about 10 days

    We're not suffering, only complaining 😞

    +1 for Amazon.co.uk - have used them several times for sim-free phones and never had any hassle.

    Thanks everyone for the replies :)

    I've gone with amazon, mostly because they actually had a phone *in stock* that I am reasonably happy with... No actual delivery date as yet though.
