You can buy a cheap smartphone for £20 to see you through if you wish.

A number of years ago I worked in a highstreet store for a mobile network, and our store made the papers for giving out a courtesy handset before wiping off the previous recipients adult content. Funnily enough company policy on the type of courtesy phones available changed a couple of days later.
Although I note that Apple will sometimes offer "loaner" iPhones in certain circumstances.

I had to do that when my phone was sent for repairs.
The phone was decent but I wouldnt want to use it 24/7. I got my desposit back and phone looks like new.

Common practice across the networks - a few years ago on 3 my Galaxy S2 went in for repair and I was given a coal powered replacement that I also had to lodge a 25 quid deposit for the privilege of using.

I think it is wrong to think that companies can charge customers 5 times deposit of actual product price(used product) I would assume that varanty should cover the coasts of a courtesy phone with basic options like internet/camera that are essential today.

I think there are some insurance policies that cover a decent courtesy phone....but I would imagine if companies provided a good smartphone as custom and practice they would need to charge a lot more than a £25 deposit?
