What are these like, My son has asked for one for xmas. He is 12

Trying to figure out if its suitable. I would rather wait and get him a phone in the summer when he goes to secondary school

just wondering if anyone has any information on them

itouch has no phone sim card slot or a sdcard slot .

You ,d be better off buying an android phone, 100-200 euro,s ,with 32 gig storage
you can install apps using wifi.
android phones have a sdcard slot.
it,s easy to put music on the card .
get Android phone prepay with a earphone socket .

My handset is locked to a network, what do I do?
If your handset is locked to your current provider, you will need to contact them to get a handset unlock code. Once your handset is unlocked, you will be able to pop your Ion Sim into your phone and use as normal.


look on phone, setting,s ,data,
it,ll tell you how much data is used from the date the credit was put
in to the phone,
or in the last month.

Or just buy a phone from a shop that is not locked to a network from carphone warehouse shop.
turn on wifi on phone ,put in wifi password .
sign in to phone with a gmail account.
go to google play store , app ,download app .search parental control
install app.

google Search android apps parental control ,
theres paid apps which might be more advanced than the free app,s .
use sdcard reader to put music on an a sdcard in a pc or a laptop.
than insert sd card into the phone ,s sdcard slot.
