Title: 3g mobile phone/skype advice please?
Post by: Varche on 08 February 2011, 08:54:39

We need a mobile for use In England when we go back to England for relative visits. We have managed OK in Spain without one for five years  and now know nothing about them but....

A week ago both my mother and mother in law came down with a flu/sickness bug with endless vomitting. My mum despite being the healthiest 80 year old you have ever seen is now in hospital and my older dad is vaguely managing. The MIL had her eldest daughter travel over .They both have it bad.

Can you point me at a shop which would provide on Wed or Thurs:

Small initial outlay only no contract e.g. £20-£30
pay as you go for very occasional calls
 UK 3g capability for Skype to Skype In / out
next weeks lottery numbers (optional)

Thanks in anticipation
