Motorola V3 help?

littlehope · 27-03-2007, 10:11

Hi, i bought a mobile about 4 years ago and never even used it but i need one now to keep in contact with people, My old one is an Old nokia 3400 i think(the next one after the 3210) and by todays standards its a brick. I am looking into buying a V3 because it looks nice and i really only need a phone for texting and phone calls, not bothered about pictures or video. They used to be around £100 6 months ago and i dont want a 2nd hand from ebay so does anyone know the cheapest you can buy these new?
Tesco have a deal on that its £44.99 if you buy £20 airtime for £69.99 just for the phone! (i cant understand why you would pay more for no airtime???) anyway has anyone found one for less?

V3 is crap I'd go for a V3i or a V3x. Actually I wouldn't touch motorola but if you have to go for a V3 series thats what I'd suggest.

Yeh thanks, but im not going to spend over £100 on a phone i wont use everyday, im just looking to find the cheapest price not a debate about the phones quality.

Why go for a more sophisticated phone when the OP only wants the handset for calls and texts?

There are a number of budget handsets, perfect for calling a texting, and quite stylish.

Have a look at:

Motorola V3 on O2 + £10 airtime, total price £59.99
Same as above but in Pink if you're a lady
One of my personal favourite slider budget phones, Samsung C300 on Virgin Mobile, only £39.99

Nokia 2650 flip phone on Orange, £24.99
Nokia 1600 on Orange, £39.99

Hope some of them are helpful and show you what's out there for the money.

Yup, sounds good

Motorolas can take a little getting used to with texting, but once you've got the hang of it it's a breeze.

yeh, is it true motorolas only have the predictive text thing or can you change it? is it any different to a nokia? text wise.

No, it has both predictive text and standard text, you just select which one you would like to use (the instruction manual will tell you how to change it).

It's a bit different to Nokia phones but nothing major.
