| 29th April - ASDA will today start
selling mobile phones for £5 - cheaper than a packet of cigarettes. Asda's
decision to market Britain's cheapest pay-as-you-go mobile will start a price
war with other retailers. Customers at other stores which offer low-cost
handsets normally have to buy more than £10 worth of credit for the phone.
But Asda says its customers do not have to sign up to any deal or buy credit.
The models available are Nokia 1112 ( pictured above) Sagem My212x, Sagem
My220x and Sagem My150x. There are a number of tariffs from Virgin, T-Mobile
and Orange, with calls to a landline starting from 12p per minute.
