Our DS will be starting high school in September and will be travelling across the city to get to school. For this and other reasons, we want to get him a mobile phone to use.
He has the actual phone already (one of our old ones) and has been using Whatsapp etc over the summer via wifi to keep in touch with friends. Now we need to sort the sim.
We don't want to spend over £10 per month and ideally want it to be capped, so that in the unlikely event he downloads some kind of online game or app or something, we're not going to be faced with a £1000 bill.... I'm thinking Pay As You Go option is likely to be best? He's actually very sensible, so I think this is unlikely BUT we live in the real world and I know high school is going to test everything we already know...!
What experience do wise mumsnetters have? What networks / sims do your kids use for their phones? What rules do you have with phones in your house?
Any help will be much appreciated!
