new mobile for teen DD

Hi - any suggestions for a new PAYG mobile for DD? She likes to access facebook, sends hundreds of texts:D, access the internet, and calls me or her dad sometimes!
Also likes taking photos, and playing music.
Have looked around but I am stumped! Any ideas would be appreciated.
Probably looking to spend around £100.
Thanks in advance!
:rotfl: :rotfl:
Quite keen moneysaver......

  • Something like a samgung tocco/sony ericcson zylo simfree with a giffgaff sim should do the job pretty well.
  • Before the nay sayers arrive questioning your sanity for spending £100 on your offspring, and tell you that you'll end up broke, destitute, terrible things will happen to a child with a phone costing more than a few pence etc, I'll try and just answer the question you asked......Orange San Francisco, had very good reviews, and at £99 is also easily unlockable for other networks.
  • Orange San Francisco - good choice. Bung it on Dolphin, top up a tenner a month, get £10 of credit, 100MB data, 300 free texts. If needing more texts, send TEXTS 5 to 6620 (costs £5 of your credit) for unlimited texts for a month, or send WEB 5 (same price) for 500MB data which lasts a month. So if you don't call at all, your tenner could get you 500MB and unlimited texts.

    I have got my daughter the Nokia C3 (Pink) for Christmas. Carphone warehouse wanted £80 plus £20 top up. Went into Phones 4 U and it was £49.95 and didn't have to buy a topup :)
