Virgin Mobile Kyocera K9 Pay-As-You-Go Wireless Phone
Nice little Phone.  No silly "Options"
I am of the older generation (44 yrs old) And I am firmly convinced that a phone should be.... a phone. <br /> <br />No need for a Camera, (I have one) Ring tones, games, dental floss or anything else that isn't related to answering by saying Hello...  Color me silly, but I just want a phone. <br /> <br />This little Gem does exactly what I need, it places and answers calls, very reliably.  Simple to use, nice features (some of which I have never used/don't need).  Most importantly, it is SIMPLE to operate!!! <br /> <br />With Virgin Mobile I pay 10 cts/minute and have NO plan to sap my $$$$$.   <br /> <br />Text messages are simple, and once I learned how to do them, I didn't need to place calls as much. The K-9 lasts for HOURS on a battery charge and standby time is very generous, (if I forget to plug it in daily). <br /> <br />The phone is DURABLE too, my son accidently Washed and Dried his K-9 (thanks Maytag) and it still works... It's much cleaner too. <br /> <br />Originally purchased as an Emergency communicator, I was very pleased with it and now use it daily. <br /> <br />If you dont talk for hours in the evening, like some folks. This plan/phone is PERFECT!!!!!  and Virgin mobile now has a reasonable Month by Month plan that offers FREE talk time too, with 1 Cent texting also available!!!!!  WOW, I might just consider doing that instead of the 10 cent minute option. <br /> <br />Check it out, for $39 you get a phone that only costs $7 a month to maintain, if you dont use it that much!!!  AWESOME insurance for the traveller! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
