Which mobile phone for 10 year old dd

[kittenfun]

She currently uses my iphone mostly for you tube
I am due to upgrade on fri don't want her using my new phone
Recycling my old phone

Was think of IPhone se or IPhone 6s

IPhone se £15 a month with Tesco
IPhone 6s £17 a mnth

Am I paying a lot monthly?

£16 a month is almost £400 over a 2 year (standard) contract. Then you have insurance cost on top of that. Of course it's a lot. Your child is TEN!!

Can anyone link to the Motorola phones? And what is giffgaff?

Looking for something for 8 yo dd (the HORROR!)

I don't think having a mobile phone at 10 is quite the same as taking up smoking in your teens!

@CandyPuff Giffgaff are a sim only contract provider - usually very reasonable priced as are plusnet

bollocks thanks...I was just googling Giffgaff. Looks ace, plus they sell refurbished phones. Brilliant option for providing kids phones.

I would prefer dd to have a phone to a tablet, as I will inevitably end up carrying it!

IMO providing a phone is not 'bad parenting..control usage of IS. It's the same with a tv, huh?

Huawei y6 - £10 a mnth
Huawei y7 - £12 a mnth
IPhone 6s - £17 a mnth
Samsung j5 2017 - £11.49 a mnth

Have you got links kitten? Which provider is that from?

Tesco mobile

You would be mad to buy her a NEW iPhone. And pay that much on contract.

A second-hand iPhone, if you must do Apple, is a much better solution. With the cheapest PAYG offer you can find.

Or one of the previously mentioned phones. I recommend the Moto Gs very much, cheap enough to buy outright and then get a very cheap deal.

Why you'd spend £400 over the life of a contract, I don't know.

Im paying £12 a month for DS phone. He’s 10 (11 in 3 months) and uses his for data really. We travel a lot and he watches yiu tube and footy things on his IPhone 5C. It 4/5th hand now and really on its last legs. I’ll Possibly upgrade in September so he can have my IPhone 5.

So not much less than what I am going to pay

A senior Silicon Valley exec was recently quoted as saying that she suspected the Devil himself lived inside the smartphone. I have to say I think she may have a point. Do you really want your young DD exposed to all of this?

She uses mine without parental controls no issues
Recycling mine as can get lots

Naive and negligent.

the Devil himself lived inside the smartphone

This is just ridiculous. It's no different to a television and a computer. In a handy portable size.

Thanks candy 😆

Well. For goodness sake, eh

😄

It's no different to a television and a computer.

Mental health problems are on the increase in young people, particularly girls and this has been linked to girls using social media more than boys.

I don’t think TV had that effect.

Have you decided what your getting candy?!!

Huawei y6 £10 a mnth for 24 mnths
Huawei y7 £12 a mnth for 24mnths
Moto £16

I am thinking maybe Xiaomi Redmi 6A..It's is £12/month for 4GB

I might keep it myself and give dd this Samsung Galaxy J3 because it is pretty shite

Alcatel 3v £10 a mnth

Dd1s first phone was an Alcatel. It wasnt good

Nokia 3.1 £8.50 a mnth

Sorry for keep posting I am so indecisive can't chose want to get the right one
