PIM functions are the Alarm, Calendar, TO-DO, Stopwatch, World Clock, Converter, Calculator, and a Countdown timer. Recording and speaker phone voice feature is also available. However, the voice quality is not that satisfying unlike other mobiles.

If you are someone who only wants to do some calling and text messaging, this phone is for you. It is simple and easy to use. This mobile handset is ideal for those who does not need much of the current technology that mobile phones offer. The keypad buttons are large enough woth a bright backlight.

Users of this phone rates it from 6 to 7 from a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest rate. Price range can start as low as $20.00 if you buy it online. Regular price can start at $199.00.
