  • £4.95 Samsung Handset On Sale At CarphoneWarehouse


    14 November, 2008, by Desire Athow

    Mobile phones are now officially as cheap as fish and chips as high street giant announced that it will be selling the Samsung SGH-B130 handset for £4.95 until this Christmas.

    The candybar phone is a bog standard phone with polyphonic ringtones and a 1.52-inch colour screen that can display 128x128 pixels in 65K colours. 

    It is also compatible with WAP and GPRS plus it comes with a USB port which means that you should be able to transfer data to the phone.

    But you won't find any camera or MP3 player capabilities but you will have a speakerphone and a voice recorder.

    You will need to buy the phone with £10 airtime, either from Orange or T-Mobile, to bring down the price to £4.95.

    Back in April 2008, Asda sold 50,000 £5 mobile phones in a matter of weeks from Sagem and Nokia.
