I gave her a Blackberry that was only 6 months old and she lost it at Easter I've since bought her another slightly older BlackBerry on ebay, I'm not buying her another phone.
The contract's up on my HTC Hero in another 6 months and she can have that when I get a new phone.
The phone isn't really the issue for her, it's the cost of sending SMS messages to me at 15 php a time or the cost being on line on a phone. Smart charge 50php a day for internet access, which isn't a lot to us here, but is a lot for a Filipina with very little income.
What I'm looking for is the cheapest way for her to send texts or to be on line, without it meaning I have to change my SIM.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm on 02, and my guess is that it would be cheapest and easiest to buy her a 02 PAYG SIM, stick £20 or £30 on it for her and I think it will only cost 10pence per text between 02 phones anywhere in the world. Therefore she'll be able to send 200 or 300 texts - and of course it won't cost her anything because I'll pay for the SIM.
If anyone can clarify that, I would be very grateful.
