Anyone got one?

I know its no iPhone but I need a budget phone for my daughter that will do some basic smart stuff and this one looks to fit the bill.
I've seen it for £109 + a SIM only at £15 per month that provides free calls & texts and 1GB data = ideal.

So, if you've got one of these phones, please could you drop a few comments / recommendations / avoid / experience / etc.
I've looked at online reviews but these have been written by power-users and naturally this phone does not compete on that level.
I always though Nokia, as a brand in this market, was solid ...

Thanks in anticipation

£15 for 1gb is rather expensive these days

With Giffgaff you get 8gb a month for £15, not sure about the phone though.

I know it pushes your budget out quite a bit but an iPhone SE is under £250 at Argos and, as others have said, stick a GiffGaff sim in it.
Your daughter will love you more for it.

Motorola G6 looks like a decent budget phone. You can buy it unlocked for less than £200, and then stick in any PAYG or contract someone you want, probably for less than £15pm depending on usage requirements.
