Really chuffed to be able to buy a *very* old but working phone Back Market. It took some fiddling to set it up to 2024 standards so perhaps next time I'd go for a more recent model! But for £30 and not destroying the planet it's faultless. Well done and thanks to BackMarket.

It's a lovely little phone which does all I want it to do. Only thing is the battery doesn't last long, just a few hours but hey ho. Very fast postage though. Overall I'm happy with it as it was a great price for an android phone.
