i want to get a new phone for my daughter's birthday.

She has proved to us that she can look after it over the last 2 years of using an old iphone that we had in the drawer.  Unfortunately becuase it's older it can't get all the apps i want it to have ANY the battery barely lasts a day.  Where is a good place to buy a reconditioned i phone for about £150?  she has a tesco mobile sim on a rolling 1 month contract which is currently suiting all of us because it's relatively cheap and i can deploy the price cap, so it feels like i have a modicum of control (you read about children running up £1000s in bills inadvertently) so i'd like to be able to fit that sim in it.

I agree about Amazon renewed - 1 yr guarantee - iPhone XR is a good phone (I still have one working well) and will run eberything needed today - 128GB is a nice big storage capacity too : Amazon.co.uk User...

for ANY read AND

The SIM should fit in any phone.  Does she want to stay with Apple?

Question Author

it's not her choice really as it's a pressie.  However, i think she probably would.  We have a clear split in this house.  I think apple products are a load of toss, MrB likes them

Try Apple they currently have reconditioned ones available.

also we have had good buys of reconditioned on Amazon. One dud out of 6 phones and ipads

and were you able to sort the dud?

I bought my last phone - a "nearly new" OPPO from the above. Well satisfied with phone (Android13/5G) and the price.

Sent it back money returned

If the SIM can't be made the right size (they usually have various perforations) Tesco will send a new one in a day or so.

 

I bought a decent replacement tablet via Back Market a while back. May be worth checking out.
