Pass on my phone to my daughter

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I've just upgraded to an iPhone5 SE and got a new SIM as part of my upgrade.  I'd like to pass on my old iPhone 5S to my daughter.  

I want to get her a PAYG SIM (I'd put her on a monthly contract, but college student + contract = huge bill).

Can I order a PAYG SIM, top it up for her monthly with a basic package, and if she runs out of minutes she will be able to put on extra minutes herself?

Not being mean mum but last time she was on contract I got a £300 bill!  But as she is away at college, I would like her to be able to have the phone when she needs it.

Yes you can.
Just order a free sim off the website or pop into your local corner shop etc.
She can always top up with vouchers if she runs out of minutes anytime.

And it's good to see that you have learned from a previous lesson !!.........that's what I call sensible parenting.

One £300 bill was quite enough for me

Excellent idea. I made one of my sons go to payg after I had to bail him out (twice) ...Now if he hasn't got credit he can't use the phone. Simple...
