Good Morning,
I have a daughter about to turn 10 and I want to get her a new handset for her birthday. We don't have a model in mind, just some features we'd like:
PAYG
an MP3 player
a camera
I have a budget of £50 absolute maximum, including any compulsory top ups
I am with Orange and will want her to be with Orange too, so I can use the magic numbers, as she will mostly call me and use it to text her Dad
At this point she doesn't need data and I would rather not let her have access to the Internet!
Has anyone any recommendations for handsets, and the best prices?
Much appreciated,
Stonehan0 -

She looks after her phones but i need a contract which is capped so she does not go over her contract. I know Tesco have just introduced one but I can't find a comparison site which has this option.
Try giffgaff, which has the benefit of contract minutes but you pay upfront on a month by month basis. Purchasing a £10 goodybag gets 250 minutes, unlimited texts. I believe Tmobile does something similar0 -
Does anyone know a cheap UK based seller of Nokia E7 PAYG phones ?
I cancelled an order to (China based) Simply Electronics as they were unable to supply (despite taking my money and promising delivery within 7 days)0 -
Is there any point in the year when new mobile phones and contracts are generally cheaper than the rest of they year? I was hoping it may be the "january sale", but alas ...
Any help?
TIA,

Hi, I already own a mobile, make maybe 10 calls a month, and a similar amount of texts. So who does the cheapest payg for very small usage? Thanks.0

Hi. First post. Bear with.
I have a BT mobile (now defunct) phone contract. I pay £5.11 (very exactly) a month and it gives me all that I need, virtually unlimited texts and calls and 500Mb data.
The problem I have is that the smart phone has reached the end of its life and because BT mobile no longer exists I cannot upgrade via them. the contract is still being honoured and as you will be able to tell offers incredible value for money.
Where can I obtain an "unregistered" (for want of a better word) handset that I can put my BT SIM card in allowing it to still work. I have a very old vodafone phone that it works in but I cannot get internet access and other nice to have features.
Any ideas welcome.

Very probably your SIM will work in any Voda locked smart phone and in any unlocked one. A Voda locked one, new or used, would cost say 20% less to buy.0

The correct word is "not locked to any network" or simply "unlocked" or "sim-free". All independent retailers sell them.
CPW/mobiles.co.uk/osps/e2save
P4U/dial-a-phone
amazon
ebay
Tesco phone shop

It is worth saying that PAYG phones are usually cheaper than sim-free, but if sold by independents are still not locked: CPW at al., P4U at al.
Many locked handsets are very cheap to unlock: Mobile Unlocking0
