anyone recommend their phone deal?

Keep your phone and go sim only.

My 15 yr old is very happy either a new Samsung a14 which retails for between £120 and £180 depending on whether you manage to catch a sale.

Sky mobile had some decent deals. Or keep your phone & use a sim only deal like Giff Gaff.

Or as pp says keep your current phone and go sim only.

Go on AliExpress, you will be able to get a Xiaomi for under £100 brand new . Not the latest model but all good for what you want.

I have a Redmi, it does everything the other android phone do but costs a lot less.

Was going to do this, but phone battery is not holding charge and keeps freezing, so time to replace it.

I’ve had a Samsung in the past. Was very impressed that it survived being washed!
I will look at the A14. Thanks

Off to look on this website now.

Never heard of this make. Will take a look.

Look on cex as well, refurbished phones in great condition, much cheaper than new but you would never guess
