Phone died any recommendations for new one ?

It's like a death in the family ! Will have to replace it quick. Loved it so will look for another same make but slightly bigger screen looking at cubot hafury 6 inch screen at the moment.

Anyone any better recommendations ?

Need it to read kindle books, make calls, text, and occasionally do my shopping, gps is useful, and I listen to radio at least three hours a day so good battery needed too.

Ask need to feed my Pinterest addiction

And good if it's under £100 or I won't get it past my husband's eagle eye when he does the accounts.

Samsung Galaxy 6s are relatively cheap now and pretty good.

How about Huw(sp?)

Interesting they are a decent make and well known unlike my Korean one.

It is no use me trying to give advice on this Julie because I only tend to buy expensive smart phones.
Perhaps not the smartest thing to do, but never mind.
In the meantime.
Is your Husband tight then?

PS.
Terrys advice looks good.

No he's very generous really but his Scottish side is quite strong when he sits down with the account book, all other times he's generosity it's self. I can't complain at all.

Julie,

I have a brand new Cubot X11, unused & unmarked.
Yours for free, but I have no idea when I can post it.

You could collect? I don't think you're that far from me if I remember.

I sort of agree with Tpin though personally I would go for the Samsung Galaxy S5 being slightly older it will be much cheaper, has most of the same features and it has a replaceable battery.

I have the Samsung Galaxy J3 which you can pick up for around a hundred quid at the moment. It's a great phone that does pretty much everything, but I bought Samsung particularly because I also have their laptop and tablet which I have been very happy with.
