*wanted* waterproof mobile phone

[g4ghb]

I'm after a waterproof mobile. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, I only want to be able to make and receive calls and not have to faff about with covers if it is raining. It needs to be unlocked though so I can bung my tesco payg sim in it.

Anyone have one lying around in a drawer gathering dust? I'm sure I can fine something suitable to trade

Why not buy an Aloksak of suitable size? They are guaranteed waterproof and a cheap alternative.

How waterproof does it need to be? I've got an old Nokia 5140I which is rain and dust proof but not suitable for submersion in water for any length of time. It is currently on the Orange network but can easily be unlocked at a phone shop for a few quid.

I have a case but was looking to get away from the hassle of putting it on and off

Yup waterproof as in rain and being splashed by the sea (I have no desire to go intentionally swimming with it)

You are more than welcome to it buddy. Pm me your address and I will try and get it in the post before I head off to Oz on Friday.

I can use my iPhone features and make calls too! with it in my aloksak. Really no hassle at all.

Samsung B2100 - simple phone, but tough and waterproof. Most of our Wildlife Trust staff use them.
