    Hi there

    Are you looking for contract phones or pay as you go? Do you have a number of minutes you'd each want in mind and does your daughter want to send loads of texts? Is being able to call each other free of charge important? What about sat nav, apps and internet?

    What I'm trying to say here is "GIVE US MORE INFORMATION". People can't give you recommendations that are meaningful without knowing what you want.

    Internet, sat nav etc. not important.

    Probably best on a contract.

    Dont send a lot of texts however my daughter is now 13 so this may change soon. As for the minutes this would be low - on my current contract which is coming to an end i have 100 mins a month of which i'm lucky to use a third.

    Free calls to each other is probably the best option.

    What about Voda family and friends, you can have 4 people including yourself for £5 a month, this is unlimited calls between yourselves, but texts are not included. But you could always put her a fiver on and let her have that for her texts. You could also have her best friend included in the group, ie you, partner, daughter and her friend. This means she could talk to her friend for free. You can make the group bigger its 6 people for £7 a month. HTH
