Reliable prepaid phone you don't have to worry about dropping
The Net10 Nokia 1600 is currently the only new Nokia phone available for Net10.The Nokia 1600 is a good, reliable, basic phone and Net10 has a pretty good offer on a refurbished one where you get a FREE Nokia phone and 300 minutes for just $30 at Net10.com . Net10 Free --->> That phone that you get from Net10 free was the Nokia 1600 (but has now been replaced by the LG300).This gets you about 4 months of service, 600 minutes, and a phone for just $30. That’s 5 cents per minute(!), a monthly cost of just $7.50 for the first 4 months, plus the phone. Make sure you order the item that also show a free $30 300 minute card. Otherwise you could end up just ordering a phone with 300 minutes included but not the extra card. But first let's do the review . . .
