My eldest is starting secondary next week and we were looking at a cheap phone for him for emergencies. Looked at all the Nokia 130 etc. types but really want 3G as I have a 3 sim with plenty of credit on it and texts and calls will be far cheaper.
He dug out my old Sony K600i from the drawer which must have been in there several years and amazingly it fired up. It would be perfect for him but when you take the back off, there is all this dark gunk in the casing. It's sticky and I immediately assumed it was the battery but it appears to be more around the camera. The battery looks clean and obviously still works well.
Anyone had anything similar. It would be the perfect little phone for him and it seems a shame to bin it. Don't really want to spend £50 on something he might lose or get nicked but also don't fancy VO2 PAYG fees if he starts texting a lot.
