Tesco are selling the Samsung E1080 for £9.97.
Phones surely can't come much cheaper than this?

And it helps recycling too!
Time to scoot down in my Porsche for some champers in Balls Brothers, you peasants.

The Nokia 1616 ix sim free from what I can tell.
(Think e2save (Worst customer service in the world - don't use a Halifax card to order from them) Nokia 100 at £4.95 + £10 topup (Will come unlocked as well) is a better voice phone.
Similar offers already available
When I visit the UK I get whatever is on offer from Carphonewarehouse, last time it was a Samsung E2120 unlocked for 15GBP including 10GBP of calls from whichever provider you chose.

Someone at El Reg received a bung to print an advert for Asda?
Plenty of other places doing cheap phones - one well know chain doing a phone for £2.95 (plus a £10 top-up)
1p Brand new Nokia 1800
I bought a brand new Nokia 1800 on Orange last summer for 1p. Yes 1p.
Ok you had to buy £10 credit with it, but that £10 airtime.
That was from mobiles.co.uk - Carphone Warehouse in disguise,
