What phone does your child/teen have?
Hi,
I am thinking of getting my daughter a phone for Christmas. I already have a spare SIM attached to my own contract, just need a smart phone. Can anyone recommend a phone (not an iPhone). I have a Huawei P...something lite I think and I like that, but it's probably a bit more than I want to pay for her. Basically, I would prefer to pay less than 100, but if everything under 100 is rubbish then I guess could go up to 150. I know nothing - everytime I get a new phone the shop people basically see me coming and sell me whatever they are on commission to get rid of that week. My other alternative is to upgrade myself in February and give her my phone - perhaps that would be better. I don't know! Thanks! |

Carphone warehouse had a good pffer on a huawei p30 lite through topcashback, although would mean seperate sim. It was £100 cash back on the phone, which made the phone about £70 over the course of contract 2 years.

I have a redmi which is similar to Huwei but cheaper. Some of our teens have it too. We are not an iPhone family, techie son wouldn't support us if we did.

Is there a reason for no iPhone ? Most children will want an iPhone as that is the one most of their friends will have. My daughter has an iPhone 7, her contract is up soon and she will get an iPhone 11. Not the top of the range, I won’t pay anymore than £25 a month. Have a look on Uswitch for deals or maybe Game/CEX for a good quality second hand phone.

I've got a Samsung A10, it cost around £130, it does everything that I want it to do. I can make calls, texts, look on the internet, it takes really good photos, I use it as a satnav, play games on it.
My DH has an Iphone, through work, but I can't understand why anyone would pay £800 plus for a phone when a much cheaper one does the same stuff. Luckily for me my son thinks the same and he has a moto g8 plus, which cost around £225 last year.

She is in Y6. I was trying to avoid putting age in the OP as I thought everyone might judge me! She walks to school and back by herself (since beginning Y5) and goes to the shops/market by herself or with her friends. In September when she goes to secondary she'll be travelling by tube or bus.
Oh man do all the kids have iPhones? |
