Philips C12

Everyone has one now - mobiles have sweeped the country and suddenly before you know it, your teenager wants one!! Obviously at some point you will probably get one, but your mind is running with worries:- * What if I fork out a lot of money for something that will just be broken? * Well I don't want a contract phone as I'm sure they will run up a bill! * A lot of people have been mugged for flashy moblies, so I'd rather get them one that isn't as flashy but still does the trick. Well this is where the Philips Savvy comes into play. The first thing that is best to do is weigh up the PROS and CONS of the handset. ...  Read the complete review

I have got rid of my old C12, but spent a long time using it and still see them on sale every now and again. When I got my phone it was free for signing up for a credit card, but they tend to cost about £40 when you see them. They tend to be on fairly cheap tarrifs - for example I used to pay 5 pence per text message on my pay as you go scheme. The calls were quite expensive, but that`s the price you pay :-) The phone itself looks very dated these days - you can tell it`s been out for a long time. It has a huge antenna just stciking out the top crying to get snapped off in a pocket - or even worse to jab you in an area you`d rather not get jabbed. ...  Read the complete review

I was a very proud owner of the Philips C12 on the Bt Cellnet pay and go network. I bought the phone for £49.99, which was very good, value for money as the only phones at these prices were bigger, heavier and had very poor battery life compared to the C12. Network Availability.

The price will vary slightly between Orange to Bt; I think Bt is the cheapest now at £39.99 new. Battery Life The battery life on the C12 s very good compared to other phones in this price ...  Read the complete review

One of the first ever mobile phone's that I got was a Philips C12. I enventually sold it to a friend at work as I wanted a more up to date phone. I now have a nokia 3310. The phone is black, and is not popular now, but it is an ok phone though. It's quite a big phone compared to mobile's these days.. There is an address book, where you can store up to 90 people's name and phone number. The person's name can be up to 11 characters long. The name's in the address book are all in alphabetical order, which makes it easy to find who you are looking for. You can send text messages to other people. Each message can be ...  Read the complete review

Well after having my phone since Christmas this year i thought i had better write a review on it. The phone is the Cellnet U design and in the bright yellow colour, always cheers you up even on the rainy day! The phone also comes in Green and Black. You can purchase new covers for it, at resonable prices - the cheapset i have found was £6 - It alsorts of designs; such as, The Union Jack, The Moon and Stars etc. The phone is designed well, with a "curvey" look to it, rounded edges and it is resonalby light. Well comparing it the the "Brick" i had before! Which was the Orange Motorola! The keypad is good, therefore you can have a quick access ...  Read the complete review
