Hi,

I want to get my daughter a mobile phone for her Christmas and have decided on a pay as you go mobile. Can anyone recommend a good pay as you go mobile that has a good deal with it? I would prefer one with good Australia coverage as we may be travelling to Melbourne over the summer.

Have a look at http://youcompare.com.au/mobilephones - full of good deals.:)

Virgin Bean Counter is a good pre-paid phone option to get started on.

I would also recommend the Virgin option as a good starter phone - what did you choose in the end Pam?
