Hi all. Need a simple android smartphone. Already have a contract sim with virgin. Have a basic phone for it, just does voice calls.
Would like to find a smartphone we could put the sim into which could do texts and use google maps as a kind of sat-nav.

Needs to have a good battery that holds its charge. Doesn’t have to do music or anything fancy.

Ideally under £50.

Any ideas?
