Best 3G PAYG mobile?

skylight

My best mate is looking for a 3G PAYG for her daughter this Xmas and I knew that here would be the best place to start!:j

She had one of the C975 things (cheap from Argos) that lasted only as long as the £30 credit on it! Likewise with the ZTE F866 (not that I have seen one before!)

So although it has to be cheap, it needs to be a decent phone! All these are on 3, and I do know that 3 have a reputation for cheap meaning rubbish!

It doesn't have to be a 3 mobile, but it does need to be a 3G and it must be a PAYG (14yo daughter with a "texting" habit!!)

Can anyone shed some light on this? I've checked out Quidco suppliers and there are just too many to make sense!:T :T :T

try the Sony Ericsson K600i (aka k608i on 3 network and V600i on Vodafone) i think its about £60ish? otherwise, the O2 ice is a nice sleek handset costing £99.99 (£20 credit inclusive). Also, check out the online PAYG clearance sections of CPW, Phones4u, thelink as the odd refurb 3G handset might pop up (samsung Z510 sells for £149 i think on P4u)....last but not least there are lotsa people selling phone on ebay and gumtree.co.uk

Might be worth looking at the other PAYG phones on the 3 website. Also with some you can get msn messenger free until end of 2007. Might save a bit on texting if others have it (or are at their computer).
