The phone and tab are both sub par compared to other products in their price range but you pays yer money etc.....

The deal can look good as the price for a PAYG Fame seems to be ~£100, but in fact this phone is ridiculously overpriced. E.g. very similar Alcatel with a better screen was available at Asda for just £20.

And there are much better phones around for ~£100: Motorola Moto G 8GB £99 at Tesco BACK IN STOCK!!

Regarding the airtime, if your daughter can survive with 200m+300t+500Mb, it's available for free at Ovivo.

The Moto G, as Grumbler suggested, would be my choice in your circs as it's a VERY well made phone and even has the latest Gorilla Glass screen (3). And I would always be tempted to buy outright and pair it with a SIM deal that was at most a 12 months commitment (ideally 30 days) as youg ones' mobile needs can change dramatically in the space of a month let alone 24 and this would give you much more flexibility going forward. And i would get the best phone you can afford/are willing to pay for at the moment and add a tab at some later stage. But you are in luck because you can now get a mid priced pohone for budget money (the Moto G!).

PS Over the course of 24 months the upfront cost of the Moto G works out at £3.70/mth. Add the 30 day Tesco £10 SIM (500 mins, 5000 texts and ONE GIG of data) to that phone for a superb, flexible mobile package. Effectively £13.70/mth. 250GB data for a teenager is cutting it very fine IME.
