    Sim Free Motorola Moto E Mobile Phone - Black

    Argos

    £79 at Tescomobile on PAYG, but you'll need to unlock it.
  • There are bound to be better deals closer to Christmas. I would set the money aside if you can.

    Moto G ?

    £90 + £10 top-up + £1.50 to unlock. Set one up for my Dad at the weekend and it's pretty impressive.
  • Some questions to consider , The person your buying for have they used a smart phone before and if yes was it an android or windows phone .
    Don't get me wrong the phones listed are very good and are both android. But the user experience on windows is different , personally I love android have a moto g for example but one of the things i liked about windows phone was the tiles which i found useful without my glasses ,
    Might be some thing to consider having said that if the person is a teenager they seem to be ok with both , I stuck with android because at the time i can get apps which auto answer in the car .
  • CPW sell Lumia 625s in store for £80 + £10 topup. Despite the issues this is a really good price for 4g, big screen etc (though windows phone has less apps so android may be better for a teenager)
