Nokia 1600, a great phone for my mother and sisters

I bought the Net10 Nokia 1600 phones for my mother and my sisters for Christmas this year. I was inspired to pick them up one, when we had touched on the topic of cell phone plans.

I explained I had been using the phone for a few months and had a positive experience. Told them it had a great battery life, and lasted even longer if you only used it for text messaging. I showed them it was smaller phone, not bulky at all; fits right in my pocket and they were interested.

Just like when I purchased my phone, their phones came with 300 free minutes, which gets you off to a good start. I mean what a deal!... A full color phone with text messaging, tons of ring tones, and 300 minutes for less than 20 bucks. Plus there's no monthly plan. You buy air time cards when you need minutes, not when some company thinks you need minutes.

I have been happily using the Net10 Nokia 1600 for a while now and would recommend it to anyone on a budget or even just for an emergency phone.
