Dd is 12.5, just started Year 8. She has the same phone as she had at the end of Year 6 when she started coming home from school by herself. It's a Samsung Chat - looks a bit like an old Blackberry but pretty basic really.
She says that most of the girls in her year have smart phones, some have iPhones. She's a good kid, doesn't really nag for stuff and hasn't made too much fuss about it although I know she'd love a new one.
So is this a really rubbish phone for a 12/13 year old? She is on a fixed monthly contract with Tesco, I pay £7.50/month. Would it cost a lot more per month to upgrade?
