For a playphone? I mean fookin' cheap. (I am so tight I squeak when I walk.)

Must be able to have kik and whatsapp, at least.

50 quid tops is all I want to spend, and I am kinda looking at a samsung galaxy y, weighing in at 49.95 (including a tenner top up).

Anyone know if that can use kik and whatsapp - is the phone any good, or is there a better phone or cheaper?

Cheers me dears!!

Was looking at cheap contracts for a family member. Can get the galaxy 3 mini for £11 a month on contract. Google talk mobile they use voda phone and are through car phone warehouse. They do offer cheaper android phones but don't get much data.

If you have an existing PAYG sim card, you may be able to upgrade.

You upgrade but you can still use your old phone. Get a sim card of your choice, depending on what you need. Data, minutes, text

Huawei Ascend Y330

Look at this from Car phone warehouse. Has a much better spec than the Samsung Y , it runs on a newer version of Android and so more likely to support newer apps.

Definitely worth a try before anything else.

maybe too simple.. but why not just get a sim card and swap it over?

kik u dont need a mobile number to exchange contacts anyway.. so when it comes to confirming meets just phone them up but 141 your number

The galaxy y is diabolical got it for my son some time ago and the memory is always full, apps won't run on it properly and it has inbuilt parental controls as the Y stands for young so it wouldn't be a good option as a play phone!!

East Grinstead

Samsung Galaxy 3 Mini can be had for £7.50/month on a 24 month contract

Only 200MB of data for when out and about, but plenty of free wifi around these days.

Handset on its own is around £110, so the old case of balancing the monthly contract.
