Alcatel OT-E227

I recently damaged my mobile phone and wanted to pick up a new PAYG (pay as you go) mobile cheaply from Orange. I had been with Tesco mobile, but have had some problems with the service lately so decided it was time for a change. Looking through the Orange site, none of the new phones particularly appealed to me, especially as I already have a decent MP3/MP4 player as well as a good digital camera. I didn't want to pay good money for a gadget I would only use the phone function on! I picked this Alcatel OT E227 from the reconditioned models section on the Orange PAYG section. Technically, it was free, and this offer is still available at present though ...  Read the complete review

I'm a geeky gadget freak. I like my phone to be multifunctional, multimedia, cutting-edge, online and very grown-up; at any given time, my ideal phone is likely to be the Blackberry after next. I am also, however, stony broke (long story). So when my well-worn PDA stumbled to a halt, I was left in the unwelcome - and unfamiliar - position of needing a VERY CHEAP new phone. My sister, a Blackberry owner, came shopping with me for moral support. As it happened, we both spotted this little cutie at once. Undoubtedly aimed at little girls, it's a pearlescent pink clam-shell design, charmingly scattered with white flowers, and is absolutely tiny. Best of all, it ...  Read the complete review

Alcatel OT-E227 is an absolutely great phone. I came to know of it when my sister bought it. The phone is very attractive, especially the one that comes with pink colored casing and stars on it. The phone has the following exceptional features; Its size is very small and it slips into your pocket right away with very much ease. It comes with attractive themes and the screen's brightness can also be monitored. The phone doesn't have advance functions such camera, internet browsing and music player. A very great feature of this phone is that it is very cheap and can be bought by averagely any one who comes to like it, although the Alcatel ...  Read the complete review

I bought this phone (Alcantel -E227) 2 months ago & I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. (This is the girlie bit!!!- I not being sexist -I'm a girl & into gadgets/computer etc in a big way, but this phone is SO good looking!!) I saw this on the Carphone Warehouse website & loved the colour- it's even nicer when you get it out of the box -fantastic/very expensive looking, burnish red colour with silver trim - it feels lovely too- like satin and when it rings it has really great lights that flash up and down the centre. It does what it says on the box - its a great phone that let you make calls and text, Thats all it does-- totally ...  Read the complete review

This was the cheapest phone I could find in Tescos. I think that someone like me, who doesnt really use their phone tant much is the perect target market for this product. It doesn't have many games, it doesn't do WAP or GPS or whatever, it won't even toast a slice of bread. But what it will do is phone and text. For me, that is a masterstroke. In a time when phones are becoming cameras and organisers and thermometers (you just wait...), the focus of the phone is growing further from making calls and sending texts. What this phone does is just that. It is simple to do and quick at doing it. Whilst the storage of old texts is in an agonizingly small storage capacity, it ...  Read the complete review
