new smartphone on payg tariff

roytom

Hi All,

I'll bet this has been asked before but I'don't know where - so here goes...

I have an old Nokia phone that does wap - must be about 6 years old at least - obviously it doesn't have a full keyboard.

I thought a smartphone that I could download and use apps on would be a good replacement but:-
1. would a reasonable one for payg be very expensive ?
2. would using apps that use the web or wifi be costly too - hence the pushing of contacts rather than payg - I would like to use the sat nav functions if poss - isn't google free for sat nav?

I can't get enmeshed in a contract - I suspect that the monthly fee would only be the start and payment would follow after use ... which could mount up without me realising etc.

Thanks, Roy
