Are you specifically looking for 'unlocked' phones or do you want ones that are locked to a particular network. (Remember that you've got to pay for the use of the phones, as well as the original cost!). 'Locked' phones are usually far cheaper.

I've been toying with the idea of getting a new phone and I've been looking at this:
http://www.phoneshopbysainsburys.co.uk/pay-as-you-go-phones/samsung-galaxy-j1.html
(It's got very good reviews for phones in that price range).
If I get it, I'll probably go for the £12 per month rolling bundle offered by Sainsbury's. (800 mins, 5000 texts, 2Gb data):

However, as that's a little beyond your stated price range, this might be of interest to you:

I bought a Microsoft lumia 535 (I think thats the number) around £50. Got a cover and glass protector for about £4-5.

Sorry but if they only lasted that long last time I would not buy them phones until they have shown they can look after them.

If you do are just throwing your money away.

Motorola Moto G then buy a tempered glass screen protector for about 3 quid.

"Kids" do not need smart phones. End of story.
