new phone

[NOTHAPPY]

I AM NOT PHONE SAVVY AT ALL 

IN FACT, I DO NOT HAVE, NOR WANT, A SMART PHONE.

MY QUESTION IS, IS THERE SOME SPECIAL REQUIREMENT WHEN BUYING A PHONE ON AMAZON OR EBAY?  LOCKED/NOT LOCKED?  SIM/NO SIM?

PLEASE FORGIVE MY IGNORANCE.

I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I WANT TO BUY A NEW FLIP PHONE.  EXCITING TIMES.

Just make sure the phone is either fully unlocked (usually called "sim free") or an O2 phone and you can then use your sim in it.

Hi @NOTHAPPY

Firstly I would never buy a phone from Ebay, a lot of people experience problems with them (being sold on for insurance purposes)

If you buy from Amazon, make sure it's from a reputable seller and sold unlocked and sim free.

I have bought many phones from them and never experienced a problem at all

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP.  YOU HELPED ME YESTERDAY TOO.  

BLESSINGS,

THANK YOU, ALSO FOR YOUR HELP.  I WILL BUY FROM AMAZON.

PEACE,

That's great @Anonymous. The 'like new' phones from O2 seem to have good reviews overall.
