Hi BarJam

Have you thought about a cashback deal on a monthly line rental ?

For my DD I brought a Nokia on a £20.00 a month (11 months free) off peak deal.
The phones come unlocked, so you could disregard the sim and use a PAYG sim in it's place.

See here for an example- http://www.e2save.com/mobile/phones/disphandset.php?network=orange&handset=6111PKCL


The first few months your paying in advance ie £80, but once the cashbacks kick in, your in effect using the cashback for the following months line rentals.

After going through Quidco - her new phone has cost me nothing, infact I am in pocket by £16.50

Cheers

Billie

Small, slim and with a sliding design, the Samsung E370 will fit perfectly in any pocket or purse.

1.3 Megapixel Digital Camera
MP3 player
bluetooth technology
GPRS technology

You will never miss those memorable moments again with the Samsung E370 built-in 1.3 megapixel camera with flash. With an integrated MP3 player the Samsung E370 allows you to listen to your favourite music on the move.

my daughter loves her one

I have a Motorola L6 and I like it. It's very slim, has a camera, video and bluetooth technology. I picked mine up for £60 from Orange so you should be able to find one a bit cheaper elsewhere.

I think someone, maybe browntoa, mentioned a while ago that the software on the L6 wasn't that reliable but I haven't had any problems ... yet

Can't answer that one 'cos I have no idea what a 9 year old would need. Have a look here, though: http://www.yourmobilephonereviews.co.uk/motorola_l6_reviews.htm - full technical spec, review and pictures.

Hope this helps.

Only idiots buy mobiles from ebay - see this thread. There are plenty bargains out there, without getting yourself ripped off!
