Cheapest PAYG handset

Now that our son is getting old enough to be allowed to go places on his own (but not far...), we thought that it may be worthwhile getting him a cheap payg phone for emergencies only (or at least so we can call him if we want to know where he's gone...) that we'd only give to him when he's going somewhere.

What's the cheapest PAYG handset you can get? I've been looking at the Nokia 1208 on Tesco Mobile at about £17, but are there better deals to be had? Don't want anything clever (in fact, I'd rather it didn't do anything other than phone and sms), and usage will be next to nothing (maybe 5 minutes over a year!).

Thanks,

Simon
