Hi,

My daughters current contract (T Mobile) is due for renewal end of month.

She currently has a HTC One Mini on T-Mobile (EE).

She likes the look of the Samsung S5 Neo but I am reading some bad revies of this phone regarding call quality.

She needs as much Data as she can get and has a budget of around £30 a month (give or take)

EE have quotaed £32 for unlimited txt,calls and 5 GB data with the S5 Neo.

Are there any other phones we should be looking at bearing in mind we need 5GB min and around £30 or so a month.

Camera quality and battery life is important (not so much gaming).

I would appreciate your thoughts.

many thanks

Have you considered buying an unlocked, SIM-free handset up-front and getting a SIM only contract? You might get better value this way, and more data without having to be tied in for 24 months and subsidising a phone. The down-side would be the initial cost of the handset and lack of access to things like wifi calling, that rely on having an EE supplied phone.

You'll also have more scope to go for a good value phone like an Honor 7 - good camera and stunning battery life in comparison to my old S6. Poles apart from the old Samsung when it comes to signal pick-up too....

The WileyFox Swift is great value too as an unlocked handset, but I can't comment on the camera quality.

That's not a bad deal, an equivalent sim only would be £23.99 so you are paying less than £10 a month for the handset.

With respect to CheshireBumpkin, but I would be avoiding the smaller Chinese makes as it's unlikely you would be able to get all the new network features like WifiCalling and probably VoLTE if you bought a niche phone like a Wileyfox.

Is network important?
