I have seen a few billboards around London of the cheapest mobile phone tariff in the UK and decided I would look it up to see just what you’d get for your £9 a month (with a free phone… pretty unbelievable huh?)

Three is offering:

- A Sony Ericsson K660i

- 100 minutes OR texts (to any network) + 300 minutes (3 to 3)

- Free voicemail..

I think this would solve many parents’ worries about giving their kids mobile phones. Piece of mind for just £9 a month? I think many parents would invest in something like this. However, I am pretty sure most functioning adults wouldn’t be able to survive on this for more than 2 weeks – opinion?
