My son is looking for a new mobile PAYG with an MP3 player and preferably with a memory card slot (apparently it can hold more songs!!!). Anyone know of any good deals for 60 quid or less. All help appreciated

    For under 60 quid you would be hard pushed to get a decent quality phone with mp3 and expandable memory, I realise that the price is important but for around £79 you can get a Sony Ericsson K750i which is one of the all time great phones, I've had mine for about 18 months and would highly reccomend it, the quality is amazing and it has that very important expandable memory slot so can fit more music files etc to it.

    Deal is here

    For a budget solution, you wouldn't waste much trying Orange's Alcatel OT-E801. It looks an awful lot nicer than you'd expect for a £9.99 phone! It takes micro-SD too which is very cheap, something to bear in mind if it's going to get a fair bit of use as an mp3 player.

    A new one at Orange is the Sony Ericsson W200i at £49.99. It takes Memory Stick Micro which is a bit more expensive.

    You do need to buy these phones with a £10 top-up. If you go through quidco you get £5 cashback, though Orange isn't the most reliable at tracking, apparently.

    Found the Samsung E250 at The Link, its available on

    Vodafone for £53.99
    T Mobile for £58.99
    Virgin for £63.99

    You can use code "PAYGO5" for 5% off so its £51.29 on vodafone, you can also get Quidco Cashback at 2.5%

    If you have an old redundant handset you can trade it for an extra £10 off

    The phone accepts microsd cards, which you can pick up from Picstop, 1GB micro-sd is £8.48 (inc delv) + 2% Quidco
    SLC: £13000+

    Quidco
