Hello,

I am looking upgrade my current mobile phone for a smartphone.

I am willing to pay up to £15 per month on a contract or up to £120 if it's on PAYG and then I could add a sim only contract to it.

I am so confused and have been looking at various websites with no clue as to what is best.

Does anyone know the best smartphone I could get for this price currently?

Thanks for any help :)

    It's not really a question of how good the phone will be, for £10 a month you can get a Nokia Lumia quiet easily, however it all comes down to the allowances, really depends on your internet usage, and of of course calls and texts (although texts are usually 'unlimited' now).

    If you want a phone only, just buy it outright. See this recent threads:

    budget smart phone

    As you can get even iPhone 5c for ~£130 (iPhone 5c 8GB Refurb o2 Refresh ... £130.00), the main problem is to chose between three platforms in the fist place: iOS, Android and Windows Phone. You'll possibly want to go to some shop for this.

    If you want a phone on a contract you have to decide how many minutes and texts you need in the first place. In terms of mobile data you need at least ~500Mb.
