All the major networks like Verizon, O2, Vodafone, 3, AT&T provide Pay As You Go, one of the cheapest Payg phones in the
UK is the Alcatel 20.03 Phone for just only £8.00 on
Vodafone UK.
We’ve Started from the bottom level
entries and then making our way to the cheapest and simplest pay as you go phones, have
the least features available because to some people a phone is just a
phone however we can get them from all the major networks. Typically these are
priced between £5.99 and £90 more or less.

Now focus on
your top 5 features, what you need out of a mobile phone (and not what
you want) what features can mirror the way you want to use the phone as a
Low mobile phone user, when, where, what, and how. And then see what phone satisfies your needs…..

excellent choice.

One of the main advantages of these phones lack of
features, apart from the poor camera quality of present standards is the fact that they give
fantastic long battery life, you can literally use them for days before they
need charging again, a very good example of a payg phone with long battery life
is the Nokia 3310 (above) with an incredible 22 hours of talk time on a single charge.

Elegant design and functionality.
Just the right choice for all those who would like to make calls
easily, but would also like to take one or the other snapshot with the
mobile phone. Do you want to be able to make straightforward calls but also have a camera function? these phones offers both.

- No committed contracts – walk away whenever you want.
- No surprise nasty bills – because you can only use pre-paid top-up.
- No credit check – like in contract mobile phones.
- Available to under 18s– unlike pay monthly contracts where one must be 18 or over
- Excellent value – there are no minimum monthly charges.
- Its real easy to manage – as you know exactly what you’re spending.
Disadvantages of Payg mobile phone?
- Very light users also need to be aware that if you don’t use your PAYG
mobile for a long period, your provider may assume it’s no longer in use
and deactivate the number. If this happens, you might lose any credit
that you have on the phone.

Then
purchased airtime is added to their pay as you go mobile phone instantly.
Networks
who provide pay as you go mobile phones have a time limit, this means
customers must use up the airtime they have purchased during that time
limit, while others networks have a cut-off time after which point the
voucher becomes void. But take note that, many do not have time limits
on pay as you go mobile phone airtime usage at all.


Once
airtime has run out with owners of pay as you go phones, toping up
again is needed, until then they will still be able to receive calls
and text. With some networks they are usually also able to pick up
voicemails, although this may be different depending on what network
provider one is with.

As we already know we have to pay the full cost of the
phone up front, and then purchase airtime top-ups to use the operator’s network. These
top-ups include an allotted number of talk-time minutes, text messages and/or megabytes of
data downloads.
