I need to upgrade my work phone to keep in contact with my students and I'd appreciate some recommendations. I'll be phoning them and chatting via skype or WhatApp but don't plan to do anything else online as I prefer to use a tablet or laptop for that. I will mostly skype via laptop too but would be good to have the option to do that by phone as well.
I definitely don't want an iphone or anything especially expensive.
I'm going to switch from pay as you go to contract but will be staying with Tesco mobile as I'll be able to use my clubcard vouchers to pay for some of it plus I get a good signal with Tesco and I need to keep my number.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations

Sorry I have an iPhone. I just changed from Tesco to O2. Tesco uses the O2 network. I changed as it was cheaper for more data. Plus when life gets back to normal, early booking for concerts etc at O2.
I’d say have a look at O2 anyway, I think they have a thing where you could put in what you’d want from a contract and then it will show you phones.

I've had Samsung mobiles for a few years now, my last one being the S6, which I traded in because the battery gave up the ghost (had it 4 years, broke my heart to part with it)
The phone I have now is the Samsung A40.
I find it so easy to use.

Thanks ffiscool and jellybean. My mum has also recommended Samsung so that's the direction I'm leaning in. My mum's got the A20 but Tesco don't have that, but they do have A10 and A40. I think the A40 might be a bit fancy for my needs as it's only for work so I might go for the A10 which hopefully works as well as the A20 and A40. Although I do like my current phone a lot so I might just switch that to pay monthly and just do the video calls via laptop/tablet. I shall have to think about it some more before I decide.

If you keep your phone, there’s great sim only deals out there. I’m paying £8 a month for loads of data and texts/calls

I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 and it's brilliant. Takes excellent pictures and skypes too. Can't recommend it anough.
