I was looking for a first phone for my 10 year old daughter. She will be taking the bus to school.
She headed straight for this one and with the phone and tarrif contract coming to £8.50/month I thought this was a great deal.
For an additional £1/week you can insure the phone against loss, damage

Ok for a kids phone/contract but forget the insurance £52 a year is a hefty wedge for such a cheap phone.

Not bad with a phone included and some half-decent headphones. Tariff little bit stingy (I guess what did I expect for £8.50) - it's 250 mins, 5000 text and 500MB.

Asda Mobiles a good deal for kids on the recurring £5 / 7 bundle. No contract :smile:
And you'll end up paying £11 pm. Tesco have this system whereby you set an emergency excess, a minimum of £2.50pm. Seems like a neat idea, however my daughter says she doesn't know when she's dipped into using that and will just use her data until its all gone. Annoyingly, Tesco don't allow a £0 limit so that the £8.50 stays fixed. Crafty!

On Android you can easily set a data limit aligned to your monthly billing cycle so she shouldn't be going over - you an also set a warning level.

Yes, it in the data usage area on stock android phones. Annoyingly my HuaWei only does start to end of the month, you cannot set exact dates. Coming from Moto phones, it's damn annoying where everything works as it should.
You'll be able to set a warning level and a turn off level.

Also download the tesco mobile app, and and it will tell you roughly how much of your allowance you have left.

And consider using Tesco xtras to reduce your bill by £3 every month (and they give you some extra data as well)
