About this

Small, but mighty. The Vodafone 231 is a compact little phone that punches way above its weight. It's only 65 grams, but comes with Bluetooth, vibrating alerts and a large colour screen. And at just £20, it's great value too.

The 231 has large, fumble - free buttons - which make it really easy to use. Bluetooth lets you send and receive pictures direct to your phone. And the big screen makes it easy to view pictures and read text.

Want one? Get one. The 231 is available exclusively from Vodafone - and it costs just £20.
