Advantages: Good looks, plenty of good features, exclusive to Virgin so cheap calls

Disadvantages: 72-50 including 10-00 of talk time

I decided to cast aside my principles and take the gamble of getting a mobile phone. I had already decided on going with the Virgin Mobile network because of the cheaper call tariffs otherwise I would have gone with Orange. It was just a case of picking a phone that I liked and that would do the job. I plumped for the Alcatel because it has good looks and is very practical. Ot also has good features free with it like the stylish stand/charger and the clip on belt clip that is supplied. The phone is available for 60-00 with a 12-50 Virgin Mobile service pack on top which includes 10-00 worth of calls. Being a Virgin you also have access to the Virgin Extra section including loads of information on it. The phone is definitely a lovely phone to start off with and I can reccommend it. People have concerns that Virgin Mobile wont have the quality of network supply but this is untrue. It is based on the 1-2-1 network and has 98% coverage of the UK, I always get a 4 or 5 bar signal out of 5 so this is no problem at all. Virgin also undercut opponents by a significant amount. With Virgin, calls whatever time of the day are 15p a min for the first 5 mins and 5p a min thereafter. Also you get a nice little message letting you know when your tariff switches to cheap rate ie after you have been on for a cumulative 5 mins. Text messages are the standard 10p. Overall a very good all round phone and I reccommend it. Also vouchers are unlimited
