what package??

Looking to buy new phone for my son, he's currently on Virgin PAYG.

He only makes around 10 minutes of calls per month, but will make as many texts as he's allowed!

Would like to buy/acquire him new handset too, one with all "mod-cons".

He can be trusted with a contract (in my name).

Looking through all the different threads, links, web-sites etc makes my head hurt (or am I just thick/lazy!), so any suggestions will be VERY gratefully received.

    Quite a few companies have unlimited texts on certain packages, but you will more than likely pay £30ish per month. There are plenty of phones out there to choose from, it will depend what bells and whistles your son will appreciate. MP3? Camera? Internet? Games?

    Many thanks rev....he'll most likely just make voice calls and texts. As far as gadgets go, probably MP3 and camera would be welcomed!

    Most websites will have a variety of phones and then you chose the tariff to suit. The link will hopefully show you the options on a Tocco. Very good camera, good mp3 storage and some extra bells and whistles, but FREE phone on certain contracts and unlimited texts on the Dolphin tariff...
