    yeh, you might feel strongly about it, but agreeing with a post that accuses the op's parenting as "negligent" isnt what the op came here for, and i personally thought that remark was out of order. I see this time and time again, people twisting a simple question into something else,,,it just does my head in that people can be so self righteous.

    What are you talking about? Where did I accuse the op of neglecting their child? All the comments made here have been to highlight points that may have not been considered!!

    What is your problem, you are very aggressive in your posting!

    i didnt say you had said it,,anonymousie , said,

    "She has open access internet and you have no supervision at all over it. For an 11yr old IMHO that is VERY negligent parenting-you have no idea what sites she visits, what she downloads, what she sees, who she is "friending on MSN/f book etc and who is grooming her. "

    then you totaly agreed, im not being aggresive, i just dont think its right to comment on the op parenting style,,its not relevant to the op question, and frankly ,non of anyone elses business, thats all

    My 11 year old DD desperately wants an Iphone and is saving up madly for one. She tells me that they are about £400 (!) - is that right?

    Can anyone point me to any good deals - either on contract or PAYG as I really don't know anything about Iphones. I use a £30 cheapie and am perfectly happy with it.


    Tend to agree with 11 being a bit young, but Tesco are currently the cheapest, more up front but much cheaper over the contract length - see MSE comparison table on main site here:http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/cheap-iphone


    Just make sure you get a case with a screen protector.
