    Hi looking for mobile prepay phone. My HTC mini has a cracked screen, which is fine, but now the camera has stopped working. The girl in the shop told me they wouldn't fix the camera without fixing the screen first and charging for the whole lot.
    So I just want good value prepay phone now, any suggestions???

    So, when asking for a phone recommendations, help us to help you. To get a good recommendation, we will need the following information at a minimum:

    What features are important to you in a phone? (i.e. camera, gps, FM radio, Stereo Bluetooth)
    Form factor - i.e. touchscreen, slider, flip phone, etc.
    Internet - is 3G/mobile internet important, or WiFi/EDGE
    Operator - have you an operator preference
    Pre-pay/Bill-pay/SIM-Free - have you a preference for either
    Price range

    Have a look at this and post back what you want in a phone and how much you want to spend

    The Lumia 635 for 100 quid would be a decent choice, 4G as well.

    Ha just spotted those recently. Can I ask do you have one? I read it doesn't have a usb connection, can you confirm if it does or doesn't have one? I like the sound of it, altho not having a front camera or flash doesn't bother me too much if the rest of the phone is good, thanks

    Moto G2, excellent phone and specification with a much improved camera over the original (8MP). Slightly above budget but it matches phones twice its value and is factory unlocked.

    The "low-end entry level" smartphone Nokia/Microsoft Lumia 635 is on
    sale 120 euros for vodaphone at CPW (it's cheaper on some other networks & places)



    Lisa Gade reviews the Nokia Lumia 635, a very affordable Windows 8.1 smartphone. The Lumia 635 is remarkably inexpensive:he phone has a 4.5" IPS display running at 854 x 480 resolution and the quad core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 CPU with 512 megs RAM and 8 gigs of internal storage. The phone has a removable back and battery, a microSD card slot compatible with cards up to 128 gigs and a rear 5MP camera.
