    any of the Huawei phones do a fine job
    I got the Y3 on the recent (now closed meteor deal) but it does me fine

    Was thinking about it alright but I'll probably just pick up a cheap Huawei one locally.

    Hi
    There is a fairly comprehensive tread on boards about the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 (and now 7)
    The phone comes in around the €179 mark new - have a look at the first post (OP) for more details.

    There are a few posters selling their phones on that tread also. The phone is good value for money. On the downside its big like the Iphone 5+.
    My Daughter has hers over 1 year (its been dropped at least once a day) and its still in good nick.
    Another option is refurbished Samsung see these today https://www.groupon.ie/deals/gg-ezy-gadgets-7-60

    Whatever you decide on - make sure to get a case/cover and screen protector (availability bear in mind)
    Best wishes

    Ill never waste money on an expensive phone again, the Huawei does everything i need, browsing, playing games etc etc, the only thing thats average is when listening to music...and i can live with that
