Buying used phone w/ front facing camera

DTonesXD

My mum needs a new phone. At the moment she is rocking an lg ks360.. not great is it? Now... she needs a smartphone, and it needs a front facing camera for skype. It needs to be easy to use a look nice but not break the bank.. android is the only option. She wants to pay a maximum of £70 for a used one on ebay. This means we're looking at oldish phones but not too old. They need to be good and not annoyingly slow. Preferably it should have a larger screen than 4" but it isn't a big deal. It needs to be able to handle skype, email, facebook and a few games pretty well. The autocorrect should be good as well, she hasn't got the modern generation of skinny fingers.
So, what do you guys suggest?

You can possibly find it new for ~£100.

Why not just buy a Moto G?

It ticks all the requirements and can be bought new for just above the stated budget new and around the budget second hand.

As others have said look at the Moto G, its a little more (around £100 new) but its new has warranty and no risk of it later being blacklisted by an unscrupulous seller in six months.


£30 isn't a lot for the piece of mind, and £70 is a lot to lose if someone later decided to do an insurance claim on the used phone.


If you really want a used phone look at CEX where you at least get some cover..
