    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, colour screen, good battery life.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages freezes sometimes, prehistoric in relation to other phones, lack of up to date features

    I received this phone as a stocking filler from my girlfriend for Christmas. As far as I know she paid around £40 - £50 for it, and she ordered it from the Virgin Mobile website. My model of the phone is on pay as you go, £5 airtime was included in the package, and as it was ordered from the website a further £10 airtime was included. It also included a free headset which I have never used! All of this adds up to great value for money in my opinion. In terms of service providers I would definitely recommend Virgin Mobile, as they are the cheapest I have come across. A text to another Virgin ... more

    4 Stars My Siemens A60... A Bargain 23/02/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Value for money, colour screen, easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The cancel button

    I recently purchased my siemens A60 at the link. It was £60 on the orange network and included 5 texts free per day for a year. If you buy the text saver deal on other phones it costs £20 a year, so to get it free made the phone even more value for money. Setting up my phone was relatively easy, with easy to follow instructions in the booklet. I did try to set it up online on the orange site but had problems as it kept restarting. When I rang the orange company to activate it the operator asked me about 10 questions and told me what to do with my phone to activate it as well as text saver. His ... more

    4 Stars Siemens A60 - My phone for 2 years... 28/02/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A well built, reliable, cheap phone with a reasonable set of features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite an embarrassment to be seen with.

    I've had this phone for two years. It was my first phone, and apart from an old Nokia I use sometimes, it's my only phone. I'm obviously very happy with it. My parents bought me it as an entry level phone for about £50-£60.00 with Orange Pay as you go. Good points Sturdy phone. I've had it for two years and dropped it so many times. It's survived everything. It even survived a swim in the bath - it kept worryingly overheating for over a week afterwards, and I thought it would not last. It did though. Battery life remains excellent. Over 2 years since I got it, it's still on its original ... more

    Advantages Advantages Just a basic phone

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Does anyone remember when mobile phones were just phones and not games consoles, camera and video camera's, well I do as I still have one lol. Tis the Siemens A60 which I am going to tell you about now. I only just came into mobile technology a couple of months ago and didn't want a complicated phone as I was just wanting it for emergency purposes. So I went onto Ebay with and a friend advised me on this one so I put a bid in and got it for £15. When it arrived it was practically brand new and still had box and instruction manual etc. and was linked up to Virgin Mobile. Which by the way I find ... more

    3 Stars What time did I send this? 03/01/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Basic functionality

    I got this phone as a present to replace my old phone. It's a plain model with no fancy features but I wouldn't use a camera anyway so that's no loss. The phone is larger than many on the market now but is still pretty small. It has a small battery so feels very light. It has quite a large colour display screen which is easy to ready text messages on and shows about 6 lines of text at a time. The buttons are a good size and spaced out so they're easy to use and I don't catch other buttons as I did sometimes with my old phone. The navigation button for paging up and down texts and settings I ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cheap feel, reception, ease of use, wait times

    I bought my A60 about 6 months ago to replace the EXELLENT Sagem phone that I had ironically dropped in orange juice. My Sagem was loud when I needed it to be, robust, had a great (B&W) screen with a natty analogue appearance clock dial. VERY useful for "@ a glance" timechecks & a great volume adjuster for its loudspeaker & I could get a signal from the inside of a nuclear fallout shelter. (Well - maybe I'm exaggerating a little there) By contrast, the A60 has a pathetic volume for both the "loud"speaker & the ringtones, is poorly constructed, as amply demonstrated by all the creaking that it ... more

    4 Stars a great buy 01/09/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages small, smart, ease of use, colour screen, wap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    at just £80 this is the best phone I have ever had and has converted me to siemens for life. I previously used Nokia's because of their popular features and designs however this phone is equally packed full of great features and looks great. This compact phone is the perfect size to place in your pocket or handbag. It has a very clear colour picture screen which displays all the information you might need at first glance. In the top left hand corner is the reception guage, in top centre is the internet option set and in the top right corner is the battery symbol. On the bottom left hand side ... more

    2 Stars Only worthwhile if it is cheap or free. 20/01/2005
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, buttons are nicely spaced out but very little else

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery life, screen quality, texting format, cheap Feel

    I was given this phone as a work mobile and have disliked it since i received it. I am used to nokia phones and currently own a 6230 which is vastly better. This phone has has various features which bug you after a time. 1) The battery life is appauling compared to a nokia especially if you use the phone regularly though it is ok if it is on standby. 2) The phone has a nasty cheap feel to it. The casing is cheap hard plastic. 3) When texting, the space button is a different place from a nokia phone and i think a less convenitent place. 4) The screen quality is bad and isn't partuicularly ... more

    4 Stars Siemens A60 Mobile 12/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages WAP, colour screen, easy to press buttons, built in hands free kit, changeable covers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No GPRS (unless you subscribe) OR camera

    This phone is a bargain at £49.99 (Amazon.co.uk)* and is worth every single penny. The phone looks good, it's small and compact. However, the only downside to this phone is that the battery power is weak. I have to charge my phone up every 3 - 4 days!! (and its switched off at night). The phone has a host of features including games, EMS, wap, alarm clock, diary etc. You can buy changeable covers and keys for it too. The phone can over 150 phone numbers and even has groups in which to store the numbers i.e friends, family, work. The phone is very easy to use with a simple menu - from this m ... more

    4 Stars Siemens A60 19/03/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Robust

    Disadvantages Disadvantages slow to switch on-key lock is unreliable

    I have used all 3 phones in the Siemens series the A65,A60 and the A31. Also the old C35. I found the A60 the easiest to use it is slightly larger than the A65 and the A31. The charger and battery is compatable with the A65. I found the A60 to be more robust than other phones having dropped it a few times it does not seem to damage easily like other phones. It recharges in about 2 hours. The alarm clock is good and works automaticaly without haveing to leave the phone switched on. The phone book is quite handy , you can save numbers that have just called you. Also there is a messaging facility ... more
