Summer on Radio 1

My daughter is desperate for a new phone. She has been watching loads on ebay but they always go way over her budget so I thought I would try and get her one as a Christmas surprise.

Has anyone got any links to really good cheap online phones?

It is PAYG that I am looking for

Thank you in advance

What are you looking to spend on a phone?

[jembie]

About £70-£80

I have a contract phone. They're great because you can usually get a great deal and most of the phones are free. I can't go over my limit unless it's an emergency though. I guess the question is can you trust your daughter to stay in her limit?

I have a deal on my phone that if I top up by £10 each month I get 350 free texts,free calls at weekends,free internet time and stuff.

But the problem is is that I never have £10!:cry:

I use Orange btw,have a Samsung D500 which Im only getting the hang of when i got it last christmas,I loved my old Motorola Phone,but I dropped it and it died.

[Ema]

[Olly]

I Have a sony Ericsson K750i which is quite good as it came with 2 memory sticks which allow you to store photo's/mp3's on and you can then copy them to your PC. The Ericsson is okay but the navigation button is a bit fiddly for those with chubby fingers like myself although the Ericsson has a 2.0 megapixel camera which isn't bad.

Again most modern phones have the capability to have radio/bluetooth/calender/calculator etc etc.

I'm still divided on what phone I prefer but I think in future I would probably go back to Nokia's as I have found them reliable and easy to use as most models have the same features and layouts.

Here's a photo of the K750i.

If you do decide to have a look for the Ericsson on PAYG I found somebody who claims to have recieved one for £79 so it's worth shopping around

This is mine:

It's a Nokia 6111. It's a great little phone, but the memory's crap.

Of course, mine has a picture of Richard Hammond on the front of it!

[jembie]

I was hoping for ideas about where to shop than actual phones lol

My daughter knows what phone she wants, it's just a case of finding the right store to buy from.

She is on O2 and wants to stay on O2.

Thanks for your advice so far though :-)
