As you may already know, purchasing a handset in order for you to use your mobile phone does not end with buying the unit. In order for you to start making calls, you do need to have the phone activated with a mobile telecommunications network.
If you live in the United Kingdom, there are two types of mobile phone plans which are available for you.
First, there is the monthly plan. Here, you will be paying the mobile company with a fixed amount per month. The number of hours that you can use based on the price can have a maximum - or it can be unlimited.
Just like the deals in landline phones, there are deals that you can take advantage of in mobile phones.
Second, there is the pay-as-you-go mobile phone plan. It works in such a way that after purchasing a handset, you will need to buy credits from a mobile provider. This is the only time that you can start making and receiving calls, and using the other features included with the phone that you bought.
Based from these two options, how would you know which type of plan is more suitable for you? It actually depends on whether you are a light or heavy mobile phone user. If you often make calls which last for a large number of minutes - it might be a more cost-effective option to choose the fixed monthly payment plans.
On the other hand, if you are only using up a few minutes on your mobile phone because you rarely make a call - then the pay-as-you-go plan may be more suitable for you.
Nokia 6300, A Short Review
If you are looking for a mobile phone unit that will go well with your pay-as-you-go scheme, the Nokia 6300 may just be the thing for you.
First up, here is a list of the features included with the candy bar Nokia 6300 mobile phone:
- 240x320 pixel, QVGA LCD display
- 7.8 MB internal memory
- 2-Megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom
- Video capture
- FM Radio and MP3 player
One of the unique features of the Nokia 6300 is the couple of slow, flashing lights on the side of the phone. They will light up when you receive a message or if there is a call that you missed.
The good point of the Nokia 6300 is that it has a slim design and a bright, sharp-colored screen. Just like the other mid-range phones of Nokia, the slick-looking interface is easy to use - which goes the same for the keypad.
The downside of this phone is that it does not have 3G connectivity. The camera is also not good enough, with no auto-focus or flash.
All in all, if you are looking for an average, straightforward phone that you can ask for the next time that you take advantage of the pay-as-you-go deal - then the Nokia 6300 is something that you would want to check out.
