There I found the Sagem MY X2 on sale down from £44.99 to £31.99 so I decided to go for that. It was the cheapest available, on a pay-as-you-go network and offered all the necessary functions so I ordered it and waited for its arrival.

It’s finally happened. I’ve given in, I’ve succumbed. I have always hated mobile phones and seeing and hearing people use them but now I’ve got one. Sorry to let down any fellow mobile-haters but an emergency situation led to me making the agonising decision to get one.
Why?! Well, a few weeks ago I had my landline phone and broadband internet access cut-off when I was unable to pay an overdue bill. I called Customer Services (the only number I could still ring) to explain my mobility difficulties and my reliance, particularly, on my internet access for communication and virtually everything else. I tried to explain that with no means of contacting anyone then I couldn’t get my bill paid, but if I couldn’t get my bill paid then I had no means of contacting anyone! Customer Services were about as much help as a paper hat in a monsoon so I was eventually forced to find some change and waddle to a phone box to call a friend to help me out. So I was without the use of a phone for about three days and without my broadband for about five days. This might not sound too vital to some people but when you are stuck at home 99% of the time and rely on it, it is very distressing.
As a result of this I gave some thought to what would happen if a similar problem arose again, either through a fault or not paying the bill on time or whatever. Maybe I should just buy a cheapie mobile phone to have in a cupboard in case of emergencies? “Mobile” phone is a bit ironic really when I’m far from mobile myself!! So, after wrestling with my indecision, I did a little research on the internet and in my mail order catalogue as to prices, etc. I knew next to nothing about these gadgets never having even used one before let alone bought or owned one. I was just looking for one I could buy outright, as cheaply as possible, could pay for calls as I needed with no binding contract, had basic functions of phone calls (obviously), texts, and answerphone at least. I was not going to be a “phone snob” about this purchase – I was not concerned with brand names, trendy features and such like – I wanted a budget buy that would do the job when necessary.
Bearing in mind my low financial budget my best course of action was to order one from my mail order catalogue so I could pay gradually with no interest charges and have it delivered. Admittedly this isn’t the cheapest option in most cases but I could not afford to buy one outright either online or in the High Street and I can’t go traipsing round the shops either so to my catalogue (Kays) it was.
There I found the Sagem MY X2 on sale down from £44.99 to £31.99 so I decided to go for that. It was the cheapest available, on a pay-as-you-go network and offered all the necessary functions so I ordered it and waited for its arrival.
A few days later the alien gadget arrived in a little box, complete with charging device, manual, SIM card, battery, phone top-up card and the usual plethora of leaflets. It was wearing an ice blue case with clear (but small!) silver coloured buttons. The first thing that struck me was how small and light it was – it was going to be fiddly to use! Its given weight is 89 grams and it fits comfortably in my small hands. Once I’d inserted the supplied battery and SIM card according to the simple and clear user manual I had to plug it in to charge for about 6 hours before its first use (subsequent charging takes much less time).
This phone comes connected to the T-Mobile pay-as-you-go network and a top-up card is supplied with the phone so you can take it in to any participating shop, pay your money (minimum £10), the card is swiped and the credit goes on to your phone account immediately. However one thing I didn’t know, and which wasn’t clear in the manual, was that you need to ring Customer Services and register your phone and card FIRST before you can put money on it so my first trip to the shop was wasted as I hadn’t done this. Once I’d overcome that little glitch and my phone was fully charged it was ready for me to use for the first time.
I only know a couple of people’s mobile phone numbers so I tried a handful of test texts to get the hang of it and once I was happy (didn’t want to use too much credit!) I stopped and proceeded to test out other functions and fiddle with the settings to suit me. The user manual has clear diagrams and simple instructions to explain all this and I had the time and date set within a minute and had found all the pre-set choices of ringtones, 3D wallpapers and animated screensavers ( about ten choices of each). I opted it for it to give a cat mew ringtone for phone calls and a cow moomoo for text messages :o)
Additional features include the Phonebook facility to store all your contacts, security features if needed, WAP access for connecting to the internet to download additional ringtones, wallpapers, etc., calculator, money converter, alarm function, memory storage display, vibrate option, T-mobiles own interactive zone, picture puzzles, databank, choice of languages and text formats and more – quite a lot really considering I was only after basic functions!
As with most mobile phones the cover/fascia can be changed and other accessories are available to buy separately such as cases, USB cables for data transference, car kits, handsfree kits and the like. I admit I have invested in two new covers (Tigger and Hello Kitty!) and a little leather case for it but I found these on Ebay and the total for all of them together was only about £5.
Right, that about wraps it up I think, and yes, I still HATE people using these in public and so far I have NOT taken mine out with me or used it in the presence of anyone else! I have used it for a bit of fun texting at home but apart from that it will be kept, as intended, in a convenient place for emergency use only or if, by any slim chance, I have to travel somewhere alone in the future. It suits me and it serves its purpose – enough said!
Advantages: Small, light weight, cheap, colour screen Disadvantages: Screen too dark when not in use
...The phone is a Sagem myx-2 and was £25 from Currys. It is locked into the Orange Pay As You Go network. Now this, to me who has a Nokia 3310, is a very small phone – around 5 inches long and an inch and a half wide. It has a colour screen that is just over an inch square. It does fit snugly into your hand though and as my daughter has hands even smaller than mine it is ideal for her. I find the buttons very tiny to use though and it is easy to catch ... ...The menus although comprehensive are actually rather hard to navigate around compared to my Nokia and it is rather easy to actually get ‘lost’ in the system. I even managed to make a call without realising it the other day! They seem to have gone overboard with the amount of graphics rather than looking at how easy it is to use.
So what can it do?
Well obviously it makes phone calls and the sound quality seems to be OK and we have had no problems ...

Advantages: Cheap, looks cool, has a speakerphone, small & lightweight Disadvantages: Buttons can be fiddly, only one (unexciting) game, instruction manual is erroneous in places, interface could be better
...Then, I saw the Sagem MYX-5 and MYG-5. The Sony Ericsson T310 looked good, but I wanted something a tad cheaper. While looking at Sagem websites, I stumbled across the MYX-2. It looked nice, was selling cheaply and had an excellent battery life. “Great,” I thought. As I looked for more info on the phone, I found there was none. I could not find one bit of advice. So I decided to be the one to provide that consumer advice. I went out and bought a ... ...review.
Sagem are not known for quality phones. Most people would prefer to buy a phone from Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung or Motorola. When Sagem brought out their MYX-5, people were sceptical. However, over time it gained in popularity and now it is a fairly mainstream phone and not a rare sight.
In July 2003, the Sagem MYX-2 was released. Again, the phone was not bought by many and people have still not been won over by Sagem’s attempts at the ...

...got myself a nice little Sagem myX-2.
~~~~First Impressions~~~~
It is compact and neat, fitting snuggly into the palm of your hand. The buttons are a little fiddly though, especially when texting but all and all it is a slim, well designed phone. The colour screen isn’t stand out brilliant but at least it has a little more life than black and white or blue screen phones.
The initial charge only took four hours which I thought was quite good, each ... ...really go wrong with a Sagem myX-2. It is a phone for people who just want a mobile phone, the conveniences without the high costs. Compared to a lot of phones on the market today it lacks the technical wizardry of some of the more expensive phones, there is no camera or sophisticated filming. It is a basic piece of gadgetry with a few nice touches.
Probably very good for first time buyers.
And by the way, my circle of friends is growing again, ...

...at that time was the Sagem My X-2 which was on sale at Argos for £34.99.
I wasn't expecting much from the phone at that price, and I have had Sagem phones previously and although they were functional, were not always top of the range, so I wasn't exactly confident, but seeing as I needed a phone (how did we ever live without them?!), and this was the only one in my price range(it must have been rent week) I decided to go for it.

The screen is a fairly good size, at 1.5"x1.25"

Advantages: Good value for money, good battery life Disadvantages: poor memory, hurls out lots of radiation, some limited features,
I bought the SagemmyX5-v2 because it was the cheapest phone iI could find witrh a camera, and I had been very impressed with an earlier model- the myX-2. It indeed was cheap, it cost me £45 and 5 of those punds was talk time. At first I was very impressed by the luxury of all the more up to date functions. There was a camera plus more options available. However I think this model has less originality than the myX-2. It seems to have taken on alot of the charecteristics of other phone brands. This is not a problem however, I was more concerned when using my house phone when my mobile was next to it. Everytime I used the house phone I could hear the interferance noise that can be heard when receiving a call or text message at the same time. However I was not receiving either, which lead me to conclude that the phone sends or receives data ...

Advantages
Its pink, colour screen
Disadvantages
The phone is a fairly old model so I do tend to remind myself of that when I constantly moan. This is a very small phone which when placed in your huge handbag is an absolute nightmare!
Although the phone is small it is very heavy hence you are walking to one side lol!.On the front of the phone it has the most annoying flashing light that keeps you awake on a nightime, I have never actually discovered what this light is for as it never goes off when battery is low or when I have no signal. The features are just the basic really phone book,calendar , text etc. The one game the phone has is extremely naff ,so if you are into your games forget it.
