Mobile Phones for Occasional Users
Looking for mobile phones that serve a basic function?

Not everyone that's shopping for mobile phones is looking for the very latest version with the most features and best technology. Many people only want a mobile phone for occasional use, so they need very little in the way of add-ons and gizmos. If you're looking for basic mobile phones, how do you know which one is best for you?

Standard Mobile Phones

If you just need a mobile phone to take on long journeys when you're travelling alone, or simply to have at home in case of an emergency, you don't need to spend lots of money or buy a phone that has lots of features you'll never use. Instead, you want a standard mobile phone that allows you to keep it in a drawer or your glove box or your bag without you having to worry about it. For that reason, you should consider:
  • Pay as you go mobile phones - pay as you go phones are the best option for people who don't use their phones very often. Simply pay a small amount for your calls in advance - £10 is usually enough - and you will be able to use your phone until the money runs out. There's no contract to be tied into and the money stays on your phone until you use it up, even if that takes many months. By choosing this option, you can be confident that you will be able to use your phone when you really need to.
  • Charging your phone - if you want to be able to use your phone in an emergency, make sure it's charged up. Mobile phones are no use when the battery is flat. Charge your mobile fully when you first buy it, and then check it every so often to make sure you still have a full battery. If you're only planning to use your phone when you go on certain journeys, you can switch it off to conserve the battery - but make sure you charge it fully before you leave - and pack your charger so that the battery is still healthy for the journey home.
  • User-friendly mobile phones - it's easy to be put off by the advanced technology in many mobile phones. If you just need to be able to call once in a while, you want a phone that looks familiar and is easy to use. That means choosing a fairly standard layout which will look much like your home phone and be intuitive to use. That way, you don't have to worry about being confused when it comes to making that important call.
