Indeed, Carphonewarehouse. And you had to ADD £10 of airtime.

200 min should do; mainly thought of in case of emergency or if they are separated for some reason. You know how teenagers are.

We may be regrouping a bit on the handsets. Either he'll check out Ebay or look at local shops, if one can be found, selling GSM phones. Phone would have to be UNLOCKED from the start. I can of course test that. Luckily he does have some time and great advice from this forum! He can always count on the Vodaphone £30 offer as a price reference.

Here you can pick up a prepaid package (phone and SIM) rather cheaply -- well under the £30 at some stores like Target. Trouble is most of the inexpensive handsets are only 850/1900 --worthless in EU.

I think they will have better things to do than hunt down a closeout phone offer when in London.

Thanks, all.
