Second mobile just for apps
Hi,
Ive got an iPhone 6 which I dont use much but I do like and dont really want to change to an Android. However, in the last few months I've discovered that several apps (such as NHS Track and Trace, Wimbledon etc.) cant download because they need a higher iOS. The cost of upgrading to a more up-to-date iphone is totally prohibitive.
I've picked up a new Motorola moto g from an auction website and was thinking of keeping that just for apps. What would be the best way to finance that. I dont mind paying for a PAYG sim for say £10 but not every month. It would need the data to carry over each month until I used it.
I feel I'm floundering in the dark with this. Hope someone can help.

Thanks again.
If you know in advance you can set it up and open on WiFi and just turn screen back on at a venue.
You could run the 2nd phone without a SIM and tether it to the iPhone for data.
Also I am waiting for an RWG SIM arriving after it was mentioned on here - 50 mins or SMS plus 250MB per month for free, with reasonable prices (by pay & go standards) if you go over, all using EE signal!
Combine both methods - an RWG free SIM in the 2nd phone on flight mode (for battery saving) with WiFi turned on (yes, it is possible) to tether to the iPhone for data. If you run out of data/power or simply forget the iPhone, simply turn off flight mode & use the RWG SIM.
