Customer Reviews

Clunky
Bought this to replace my ageing but reliable Nokia 1100 (black and white display!) But quickly ditched it on account of its even clunkier interface and low resolution screen. Save up for something else.

So, I washed TWO cell phones!
I am no one to criticize cell phones, considering that I washed TWO in my jeans in three months! I had JUST agreed with AT&T for another two years as well. I thought I was lost until my nephew told me about `Go Phones'. For this price, I get a phone that does just about everything my regular Nokia would do - except.

It is totally plastic and won't hold up well if dropped. Forget about texting; the keys are designed poorly and you can easily hit the wrong one. And (this is a big one) the removal of the back panel for the battery and SIM card drove me nuts! It appears that the textured part of the phone should be the removal panel, but it is actually the entire half of the phone that gets removed. It took me twenty minutes to figure this out (but then, remember, I've washed two cell phones!). Just press in the button on top and carefully unlock the entire back panel (it really is like half the phone). I read others had problems with this. The charger/headset cover is very flimsy and will probably break soon, but...

This is a temporary phone. All I did was replace the SIM card from my old phone. It's not meant to be great, even though it has almost all the features an expensive Nokia would. You know what? If I manage to wash this sucker as well, I'll just go out and buy another. No worries.

BIG PLUS: You get 150 minutes instantly. With AT&T, after six months you can get a new free phone (tax is not included anymore) if you upgrade your service. They will extend you for another two years. Hey, don't we all have two years commitments anyway? Enjoy!

Just the ticket..................
A few years back I bought a new mobile, my old, antique mobile having given up the Holy Trinity. Well I am not afraid to admit that as a geriatric I could make nothing of the new one. I bought it simply because it was a nice colour.
The Nokia 1208 was given to me as a Christmas present as the red job was not always recharging. It is everything I want in a mobile. It is simple to use and does the job perfectly as I am not a big user of mobiles.
It is totally idiot proof, and as things like texting are beyond me, it is a modern replacement of my original, and much loved phone (which had an ariel). It makes and receives phone calls. What more could anyone ask for! If I want to take photos, I use a camera. If I wish to talk to someone, I phone them, not text them.
Great and cheap at the price.
