I just wanted to let people know this:
I was searching for a compatible phone to use with the FreeStyle Libre sensor using the LibreLink app to scan it. You need a phone with NFC for this (stands for "Near Field Communication") and Android 5.0 or higher, or iPhone 7 I think, according to Abbott.
The cheapest option I found for a phone like this was from Vodafone, who have their own brand of phones.
The Vodafone Smart N8 is currently £79 on pay as you go, with a £10 top up (so £89 altogether).
I got it for my mum and she uses the app (she is 84!!) and it's so easy to use. All she does is touch the phone onto her arm. Then I get a message on my phone every time she does it, with her blood sugar reading! (I use the separate LibreLinkUp app to receive these)
Best wishes to all x
It's really great!
