WHY BUY THIS PHONE? Alcatel OT-S319 I first came across the cheap little phone when a friend of mine was over from Australia and needed a phone with a UK sim. One way was to get her phone unlocked and then put in a UK sim in her phone or the other solution which she went for was to buy a cheap UK phone with sim included. We looked at Tesco but their cheapest was £19 so I went across the street to the Phones4U and found this cute little phone in either pink or black for £9.95 but you have to buy £10 worth of credit so it comes to £19.95 but of course you need credit anyway to make any use of the phone so it is a great little buy. My friend ...  Read the complete review

I initially purchased this phone as my previous handset had a run in with a can of Red Bull in my handbag and died a liquidy death. As I was a very poor student at the time, I wanted the cheapest handset I could find, and did not care about features except for the ability to send and receive texts and phonecalls. Fortunately I found this handset in my local Orange store for a mere £9.00, plus £10.00 credit, bringing the total cost to £19.99, perfect! Whilst this handset is not choc full of features, it is an extremely reliable little phone. The build quality I would say is good, the phone feels quite light and plasticy, but does not feel like it ...  Read the complete review

This phone is pretty good for the price I paid only £20 so I wasn't expecting much. It has all the baisic features a phone needs, calling , texting , phonebook and it even has games! The phone is small compact and lightweight. It looks quite nice with the shiny black finish too it and the buttons on the outside are a nice touch. The phone is also easy to close and open. However the buttons on the inside are too cramped and small for my liking. The screen is an okay size if you just need a phone to do all very baisic needs and nothing too great. The phone has a few backgrounds and ringtones you can choose from but not that many. You can't use ...  Read the complete review

I bought this phone as a "replacement" phone after breaking my phone at a festival. I chose it mainly because of the price - only £9! I also liked how small and compact it was. When I bought this I wasnt looking for any special functions, all I needed was to make and recieve calls and send texts. I ended up keeping this phone for 6 months because I did not want to spend £100 buying a new one! I realised that having a camera on my phone doesnt matter because I have a digital camera, and also I have an ipod so an mp3 player is not needed. The phone is very easy to work - the screen is quite big and the navigation is simple. However one ...  Read the complete review

Well this phone was certainly a step down from my htc desire which was being repaired but for the price i couldnt complain. The phone is small in the hand but not too small, it feels nice and has a nice weight to it, though it does look a little toy-ish. Once you flip it open you reveal a very nice keypad, with large tactile buttons making text input a pleasure, the navigation pad is also easy to use being so big, plus there are a few shortcut keys making navigation very easy indeed. The screen is small (well when compared to my htc desire anyway) but is very bright and crisp, nothing special but it certainly does the job for phone calls and ...  Read the complete review
