Pay As You Go Mobile Phones

Mobile phone service providers have evolved with their range of schemes and service over the time, since the first mobile phone. Mainly there are two categories of mobile phone service that is offered to users - contract and PAYG.

PAYG stands for pay-as-you-go. The meaning is very obvious. You only pay for the amount of usage you want to perform per month. That way the bill stay in control and you do't have to stay bound up in a love-less relationship with the service provider as in the case of a contract service. I personall have been using PAYG ever since my first mobile phone and I always tend to be opportunistic when I see a good scheme on another service provider and change my selllular service. But that is not a good idea in case of contract, since a contract is normally for 12 months and during that month you have to pay a fixed tariif excluding you call charges for being in contract and using their service at a low rate. In contract you cannot obviuoly switch service providrs, But PAYG has no such bounds. You decide what to use, how much to use and when to use.

But one main disadvantage with the PAYG is the call rates. One advantage with contract users is that they have a low rate per call per pulse/minute. Whereas PAYG have to recharge with tariff card, rate cutters and then top-ups. Also roaming rates are low with contract. For most active user contract is themore preffered one. But I still prefer PAYG since it suites me better and it still a good choice for anyone.

LG KP 500 PAYG


The LG KP 500 is a touch screen edition from LG. Though it is a touch-screen, the target market will be the youth and the middle class people since the price has been kept at a medium range. The phone is exquisitely glamourous and tends to provide a very good performance. The usuability is super smooth. And the phone contains all the latest features that a contemporary phone contains. Have a look at this beauty's configuration:

  • 3 inch TFT 262k colour screen of 240 x 400 pixels.
  • 3.2 Megapixel Camera with video-recording.
  • Quadband GSM 850/900/1800/1900
  • FM Radio.
  • Touch-screen handwriting recognition.
  • Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP.
  • WAP 2.0.
  • 3.3 Hours talktime.
  • 350 hours stand-by time.
  • weighs about 89 g.
  • 106.5 x 55.4 x 11.9mm.

This phone comes with a dual benefit. One being the super performer that it is and second that it is a pay-as-you-go phone. A very good advantage of a pay-as-you-go phone is that you'll always have the phone bill in your control. A contract phone tends to relax the customer during the whole month when he uses the service and is on the verge of nervous breakdown when he sees the bill. But a LG KP500 PAYG lets you have control on the cost and pay only as much as you want to pay. Since you can only talk when you recharge your account.

The phone has a beautiful touch screen with very good resolution. Viewing anything on the phone is a pleasure. The phone comes with stylus and accelerometer. The 3.2 MP camera ables the user to enjoy still photos as well as videos. The phone also comes with an added software of handwriting recognition. The phone has data connectivity options with Bluetooth 2.0 , EDGE and GPRS. The music player supports WMA, MP3 and AAC formats. All in all a great phone with a great price. LG surely is rocking with its huge range of mobile phones.

Blackberry announce the 8900 Curve


Blackberry is all set to launch the Curve. The Blackberry 8900 Curve has had high expectations since the success of the Bold or the Pearl flip. It will be worth while to catch a bit of this cake. It is being heard that RIM is launching this phone with the German giants, T-Mobile. Now lets take a peek at this device:
  • Quadband GPRS/EDGE/GSM/HSCSD 850/900/1800/1900.
  • Bluetooth 2.0 A2DP.
  • Wi-fi IEEE 802.11b .
  • 2.4 inches 480 x 360 pixels colour TFT screen.
  • 3.2 MP camera with auto-focus.

The Blackberry Curve is no 3G phone but it is a quadband. Sad feature is that the download, browsing will not be available on this phone at such high speeds. The phone is studded with Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-fi for wireless data connectivity. It also comes with a miniSD slot for USB.
The screen resolution will obvoiusly be among the pros. It is very sharp and crisp. Much like the design of the phone itself. Very smooth and crisp. The screen is of 2.4 inches. Coming to the camera of the phone, it iis a 3.2MP camera with no digital or optical zoom but comes with auto-focus. This is another great dissapointment. Thats beacuse you will be aiming to capture on thing and will have another once you press the trackball. The video-recording resolution is also very low.

The phone comes with extendible memory of 16GB and a microSD slot. The phone provides 356 hours of stand-by and 4 hours of talktime. The phones does carry of some of the general Blackberry traits but fails at most others, which are more popular among Blackberry mobile phones.

Samsung Tocco


It looks like there's a new rookie in the town of Touchscreen mobiles. Its the Samsung Tocco. The phone looks brilliant. A little contemporary too. The phone is a definite killer and an do all great things that other great warriors in its class do. Take a look yourself at its arsenal :

  • 2.8 inches of 240 x 320 pixels QVGA colour resolution display.
  • EDGE.
  • Bluetooth 2.0 A2DP.
  • 5 Megapixel Camera with auto-focus and LED flash.
  • 3G with HSDPA 2100.
  • 2G with GSM 900/1800/1900.
  • GPRS, WLAN, Infrared.
  • WAP 2.0 and XHTML enabled browser.
  • 228 MB internal memory.
The Samsung F480 Tocco has beautiful TFT 2.8 inches touchscreen. The user-interface is very easy to use beautiful and eye-catching. One disadvantage of the phone is that it doesn't have QWERTY keypad. either does it support the "accelerometer", that help is turning the view from portrait to landscape when the phone itself is physically turned sideways. It does certainly perform on this ground of basis. The data traferiblity is gifted with EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0, WLAN and GPRS. Along with the beautiful screen the WAP 2.0 enabled browser provides a mindblowing surfing experience. The phone also comes with a 5MP camera that is fitted with auto-focus, face detection and LED flash. But the flash doesn't provide too much of a help.

Its most decent competition will be the LG Viewty. But certainly with its advantages and disadvantages it will turnout to be a good mobile phone.
