Hiya, here's what i'd do.. ask a few friends local to you what network they're on so you can get an idea what will work in your area. Pop to Tesco and look at the cheap phones (all do txts so forget searching for one without lol) and in 80% of the cheap (under £20) selection there'll be a model thats supported by the network you've already decided to go with ie T-Mobile, Vodafone, etc. Even easier ask an assistant for a pay as you go cheap mobile and let them do the sales bit.Here's an example of a T-Mobile cheapy that my house mate uses

Other networks may have different rules but I once lost a lot because of this. It is written in the very small print on the paperwork.
