Hi there. Clue's in the title. I'm after a new mobile and wondering if anyone's got any opinions on which outlets are the best value? Are prices pretty standard? It's for a parent who just wants a nice user-friendly phone for phoning, not a painfully clever one with a fish-finder and dishwasher incorporated. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks x

If it's just a handset you want and you already have a SIM or you're going to be on PAYG, then eBay, or play.com, or places like that - don't buy them off the high street on the IOM.

If you're getting a contract out (and you're on the IOM) - then check out MT and Sure. (I'd recommend MT personally.)

As it stands now, the basic contracts at both places will deliver a handset that'll do what you want with a reasonable monthly tariff, just don't get talked into stuff you don't need or want
