DS WANTS An iphone for his 17th birthday... it seems they can't be capped. what else is good i shoudl go for, that is affordable/

[slartybartfast]

he wants a contract phone
and i was thinking £20 per month woudl be reasonable.
i dont mind an intial outlay of 100
but WHAt woudl be a good choice.

the hlepful man int he shop did suggest i bought ds with me to choose, if he can't have an iphone.. but i need some pointers/suggesetions

oh, it wasn't when I just looked? It let me add to my basket etc!

no, yesterday it was

thanks
mumsnet is great

oth,

a iphone 3GS is cheaper - would he accept that?

Hmmm, well, I had the original iphone for 2 years and never knew what I was missing, the difference is you can get an iPhone 3GS for free, and then he could have that and something else for the £130 ;)

i know, i saw that

that's that decided

thanks maryz
remind me not to go to the states

Holy crap Maryz! That's one monster bill!

3 do a capped mobile phone. My son's is £17.00 a month and it has touch and slide screen, internet, apps, all sorts. His friends think he has a cool mum because it looks "Cool". Good luck.

thanks for your input.
went for the original tesco, capped, iphone
he is as pelased as punch

I bet he is! I wish i'd seen that tesco deal before I signed up for 2 years with a samsung :(
