Advantages: Cheap and easy to use

Disadvantages: A bit basic

The motorola c520 mobile phone used on a "pay as you go" option provides you with cheap means of contacting family and friends.Its cheap enough to leave in a car in case you break down, and there's no worry of the voucher time running out with, no limit on time vouchers. They are ideal to give to children so you can get in contact with them, or if they need you late at night.This phone only provides the basic calls and text message service, but thats all you need.The on screen menu system makes this an easy phone to use, This phone comes with a car charger socket so you can use in car, and a hands free socket.

Orange are about to stop the £5.00 voucher and are now using a swipe card like many other phone companies. I can see this heading towards swipe card only phone's in the future. This is a very good idea as you can use different payment methods. If your children have a phone you can keep the card and top them up as they need it. the only problem i have had is finding one.

I've been in touch with Orange via the Internet about swipe cards. I have been told there was a greater demand for these cards than they thought there would be and it may be up to 2 weeks to get stocks available. Unfortunately the £5.00 vouchers are no longer available. Well around by me anyway.
