Each of our kids got their first phone as a hand-me-down from their grandmother who used to get a mid-range one from her provider whenever it was offered to her as an incentive to re-contract.

Game (as in the computer game store) is where all our kids phones came from, second hand, once they were old enough not to want gran’s cast-off Samsungs. They have been iPhone-only ever since. The contract I have is SIM only from BT.
