Try Giffgaff, I've bought a couple of phones from them. 1 years warranty as well. I had to return the last one as there was a problem with the sound, it was sorted out quickly.
iPhone SE is the best phone on the market imo.
And that shows how much you don't know what you're talking about...
I have had almost every imaginable phone under the sun, for work and personal use - just saying it how it is.
Many thanks to everyone (even if the tips sailed effortlessly over my head). She went for an iphone on Music Magpie and within three minutes had two, small, unauthorized transactions (cable TV) before her bank declined a £900 one. We are assuming there must be a link between the MM purchase and the fraud.
Did you check Apple Refurbished before you tried to buy via Music Magpie?

FYI I've used MM a few times and never had any issues; their prices can be OTT at times though IMO
Amazon can have some great deal; well worth looking
So have I and the SE, as good as a phone it is, is not better than every Android as you put it...
That’s been my experience of Android, too, but to be fair I ditched it a few years ago so it could well be better nowadays. My big problem with Android, though, is that manufacturers don’t make it easy to see how recent a version they use, and Android itself isn’t as easy or quick to keep up to date with security updates, AFAICT. There’s at least one budget phone out there using a long-defunct version which hasn’t received any patches for known vulnerabilities for several years. This on a current model shipped brand new.Maybe it's just me but every Android phone I use is just illogical and shit. That said, OP says it's needed for a few calls and whatsapp - price is probably more of a factor than anything else.
Well, quite. It's better than all Android phones too though.
Personally I wouldn't touch an iPhone
Out of interest - why?
YMMV.
For her sins my wife has both, an iPhone from work which she detests.
Personally I wouldn't touch an iPhone
Agree
And I'm an Apple fanatic
But their phones leave me cold. They're not shit; nor are they 'better than Android' as someone likes to keep saying...
They work superbly & more so if you're tied into the Apple OS
But Android for me is smoother, more customisable, more functional, better apps and better longevity; I've an S21 Ultra, a Pixel 4XL and I still have an iPhone 11 somewhere. The Pixel 4XL leaves the iPhone 11 standing IMO
I had the 12 Pro Max and couldn't wait to get rid to get the S21 Ultra
it's horses for courses
"as someone likes to keep saying" - blimey, you make me sound like a chastised child.
Great that you want all that customisable stuff; not sure that what you're describing is a "phone" or a miniature computer; there's the distinction I guess.
Headphone socket is always contentious to someone. For me, I prefer wireless anyway.
Nope; just calling you out as every time there's a iPhone vs Android topic; you come on spouting shite
I've got a work iPhone (an 11) but it's very mediocre compared to my own phone so pretty much never gets used.
We all used to either have the higher spec iPhones or Samsungs but have all moved onto Xiami's now - 2 of us with Mi 9T Pro's and the other 2 with Mi 10 Pro's.
My XR is a better phone than the 8 Plus it replaced, but you are right - the single-lens camera is a let down.Only piece of advice - (probably not relevent to the OP) but avoid Iphone X (and XR) models - the cameras are deficient by comparison to others. Apparently a load of social media influencers got hold new Iphone X models and then quietly went back their 8's for instagram! Daughter #2 has an XR (hand me down from her boyfriend) but says the camera, especially the front one is rubbish.
