Advantages: Good SMS Service

Disadvantages: Poor customer service

With an offer of 200 free minutes, to be used a weekends to 01 or 02 numbers and genie internet, I was tempted into buying this phone.

The extra 200 minutes to 01 & 02 numbers is still a good bargain, and very useful. But the promise of being able to connect to Genie Internet ( wap ) service, as part of the free minutes, has proved more than disapointing.

Since buying the pre-pay package from Tesco, for £29, I have never been able to connect to the WAP services. Even after several contacts with customer services and Genie Internet.

The SMS service is good, and is the only benefit. With the ability to log into www.genie.co.uk and send free SMS messages and recieve email notification.

What does the phone do.

Several Ringtones - however, these cannot be added to or deleted.

Vibrating Alert - No problems and easy to configure ( two button presses).

Call Cost alert - tells you how much money you have left.

Large memory - for storage of names and numbers

WAP Services - when it works!

Voice mail retreval - works well but costley.

Phone book entries - standard on most WAP phones. But you cannot catagorise them (see nokia 7110)

SMS Messaging - Good and clear text.

Call timer retrieval - useful for missed calls.

GSM Services - Call divert,Call waiting,ETC

Office Tools - Scratch pad, Currency Converter and Alarm Clock.

One of the areas of he use of WAP phone wa connection to the laptop or PC. This can be achieved by purchasing the DATA cable from MItsubish. This allows transfere of address files only. Thats if mitsubishi ever reply to the emails and tell me where I can buy one.

With so many different offers available for phones, I would leave this one for use as a pre-pay only. I could not see any reason to buy this phone if you were to take a contract.
