easyMobile.com

Advantages: cheap, convenient , comprehensive services
Disadvantages: sim card took a few days to be delivered

I have a lot of time for Stelios and the Easy Group. He is on a bit of a crusade to supply quality services at reasonable prices and this has been extended to 'no frills airtime'. I was quite happy with my existing provider but when I happened upon the easymobile website I thought I would take a closer look. The website is impressive and simple to navigate and the stuff they were offering seemed to me to be too good to miss. So I joined up immediately ...
...all phone and text each other rather than using the landline to phone home and we are collectively saving a fortune. WHAT DO YOU GET? This depends on when you sign up. When I signed up I paid £1 for a sim card and received £11 of airtime. A week or so later, easy were offering £25 of airtime for only £5. I wish I'd waited. I also got £5 bonus airtime for each family member I signed up! You also have some input into your mobile number. You can ... Read review

Advantages: Ridicously cheap, good network reception, easy to set up
Disadvantages: Can't check balance from phone, voicemail not free, negative credit

I have been with easyMobile.com for about 3 months now. My main reason for switching from my previous network was to save myself money. Overall, I have achieved this, cutting my bills by well over half, and with what I find even better network reception than what I had before. easyMobile.com is a no-frills Pay-As-You-Go service. It utilises the t-mobile network, and their service in terms of reception is very good. There are so many benefit of ...
...thing is that you do not have to worry about what time of the day you use your phone - morning, night, weekends etc, they are all charged at the same rate. This is the problem with the other networks. For example last time I checked, to make a call during the day on O2, from a pay as you go phone was about 40-45p. easyMobile is only 15p and time of the day. Texts are charged at 5p, which is half of what all the other networks charge on PAYG. If you ... Read review

Advantages: Cheapest calls/texts on PAYG
Disadvantages: No 'top up' card, plus £5 fine

I was fed up of Orange, after 4 years of using them on PAYG, i decided there must be a better provider! I was constanly putting £10 credit on my phone, only for it to last under a week, as i was paying 12 p a text and 35 p a minute on calls. After doing my reserch on the internet, i came across 'easymobile'. It's from the same company as 'Easyjet' and 'Easycruise' amongst many other 'Easys' lol. It promised that i would pay only 5 p a text and ...
...company i called. This was a great deal! so i signed up straight away. I managed to keep my number from Orange, and for paying £5 for credit, they gave me another £5 for free on sign up! The company is internet bound, and has no stores or offers contracts and phone models, so you may have to pay for your PAYG phone to be unlocked from your call service (roughly £20). i was saving 7 p a text and 20p a minute on phone call LESS compared to Orange!. ...

Advantages: Apparently cheap call charges
Disadvantages: Poor reception (in my area), awful customer service, penny pinching attitude

Very rarely do I have a conversation with a company that really doesn't 'get it' re customer service. Easy Mobile have definitely won this years award in my book. Back in July I thought I would try their new service. I signed up for two Sim card/accounts at £5 each on their website and a few days later the cards turned up. Now when I first popped the card in the phone I couldn't get any network signal since both cards had not been 'activated' (I ...
...website and activated them. Within a few hours it was working. However it was working very badly. I had one bar signal strength that kept disappearing about 70% of the time. So I rang them back up and told them that the service was no good to me. The guy on the phone said it was ok and I could cancel on their website and get a full refund since I had not made any calls (both cards had £5 of credit on them). So I went through the cancellation procedure. ... Read review

Advantages: Cheaper to run, no contract
Disadvantages: E Top Up card not excepted everywhere

...of course, hands free kit for safer driver, even though you should not use your phone whilst driving. A Virgin service pack which contains a bounty of goodies such as your SIM card and completely new phone number, a £5 airtime voucher, service guide to get you up and running, and quick guide for those of you who are really impatient. Some funky contact cards and a VirginExtas guide, and a Virgin Net CD, I use mine as a drinks coaster, so it did come in handy. This Virgin.com/mobile phone site is easy to master and very simple to purchase a new phone with a good variety of the latest mobiles, competitively priced and good value for money. Cheers Zoë X...

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I bought this mobile last summer. What attracted me about it was its nice design, it is not the common square-framed design. I would like to tell you the advantages and disadvantages that I have found in it. ADVANTAGES: 1) First of all, its price. I don't know how much it can cost you in the UK. I am from Spain and I can tell you it is very affordable here. The different telecom companies offer very attractive packs including this mobile. 2) It is very easy to use, it doesn't have tedious menus. 3) It has almost as many facilities as other more expensive mobiles do. 4) You can use normal batteries in case the phone battery run downs. I know it's not going to last you a long time when using normal batteries, don't you try to make a one-hour call but it can be very helpful if you are in a tight corner and you have normal...

Advantages: Small and compact, colour screen
Disadvantages: Texting difficult, case marks easily

...Ebay because you could pick one up for around 150 pounds. Spec = Size: 88 x 50 x 22 mm Weight: 87g Battery standby: 60 hours Battery talktime: 1.3 hours So would I recommend this phone? Yes is the answer but there are many better phones on the market if you want to part with a little more money. The Samsung V200 is an alternative if you are looking for a camera phone. I find this phone easy to navigate, small and light and great for battery and reception.
