I think I'm going to have to buy one of the infernal devices known as Mobile Phones. I almost certainly won't use it much, making Pay As You Go cheaper- but does anyone have any advice as to who to buy a cheap but reliable one from? ("Features" other than SMS don't worry me that much).

The Nokia 1100 is going very very cheap at the moment, and has the upsides of almost no features, and great battery life.
Downsides: I'm told that Virgin has poorer coverage than other networks outside London/the South-East.

Orange seem pretty reliable as far as coverage goes, and I've got a card attached to my phone, so I can put money in all over the place. Usually use Asda when we go shopping.

There was a minor hidden cost because I ended up paying £20 at the end of the year in order to keep the same phone number and move to PAYG. But the price of phone + 1 years' use + £20 was still significantly less than the price of buying a standalone phone.
