Eventually gave up and bought a mobile phone

My previous mobile ceased to work a week or so ago and despite trying hard to transfer the contract to an older mobile that I have I was making absolutely no progress.
Last night I looked online for a cheap basic model, which would suffice for the remaining 6 months of my contract. A few quite cheap models were available, although they all seemed to be offered in turquoise, pastel blue or some other embarrassing colour.
However, someone was advertising new Nokia 107 dual sim mobiles on Gumtree, so I called him this morning. This is plain black and therefore acceptable, with adequate features for what I need. To my surprise this mobile was available for £20, which has to be a great bargain.
This is the first time that I have ever had a dual sim mobile, but it is a very useful feature. I bought a sim for Lebara while I was out to utilise the spare sim slot. I expect most people will be aware of Lebara, who specialise in cheap international calls.
Right now I am downloading the Nokia PC suite so that I can transfer my contacts etcetera onto the phone.

Glad, yet sorry, to hear that you have finally thrown in the towel on the busted Sony Z1. What a palaver! Out it up on eBay, you may recoup your £20. Or better yet see what value ut has at one of the mobile phone recycling websites.
