It's amazing just how much mobile telephones have developed in just the last few years.  Our designer reluctantly switched from his trusty Alcatel DB Max to the feature packed Motorolla V220.  The change was not because the Alcatel was faulty, but rather the extended talk time and tempting Virgin offers which made the purchase irresistible.

 

It's a simple matter to slip in your old SIM card, and off you go again.  To prove it you can phone Nelson right now on 07905 147709 and pledge support for the Solar Navigator project.  Nelson needs a phone that is rugged enough to cope with working on site in all weathers and cope with his weekends training and working in the workshop, building vehicles. 

 

 

Nelson's Motorolla V220

 

Nelson's air time bill has been reduced yet further since buying this phone and staying with Virgin's splendid pay as you go service.  Nelson believes Virgin's pay-as-you-go service represents incredible value for money compared to both of the competitors service.  As if this wasn't enough, because Nelson bought his phone over the internet, Virgin gave him £45 worth of free airtime.  The phone was delivered on-site and was ready to roll after charging the battery pack.
