We've Started from the bottom level entries and then making our way to the cheapest and simplest pay as you go phones, have the least features available because to some people a phone is just a phone however we can get them from all the major networks. Typically these are priced between £5.99 and £60 more or less.

One of the main advantages of these phones lack of features, apart from the poor camera quality of present standards is the fact that they give fantastic long battery life, you can literally use them for days before they need charging again, a very good example of a payg phone with long battery life is the Nokia 3310 (above) with an incredible 22 hours of talk time on a single charge.

How do I Top Up my Payg Mobile Phone with airtime?

Pay as you go mobile phones are the mobile phones that users add airtime/talk time by purchasing vouchers from shops, in contrast to contract phones users, who pay a set fee every month for a pre-determined amount of texts, talk time minutes and data allowance. 

Another way for payg mobile phone users to purchase talk time is by calling their network provider on a freephone number and use their credit card to pay for airtime directly.

Another airtime purchasing method is by using a purchased voucher that predominantly requires the user of the pay as you go smartphone to make a free-phone call to their network and enter a computer generated number. 

Then purchased airtime is added to their pay as you go mobile phone instantly.

Networks who provide pay as you go mobile phones have a time limit, this means customers must use up the airtime they have purchased during that time limit, while others networks have a cut-off time after which point the voucher becomes void. But take note that, many do not have time limits on pay as you go mobile phone airtime usage at all.

Once airtime has run out with owners of pay as you go phones, toping up again is needed, until then  they will still be able to receive calls and text. With some networks they are usually also able to pick up voicemails, although this may be different depending on what network provider one is with.

As we already know we  have to pay the full cost of the phone up front, and then purchase airtime top-ups to use the operator's network. These top-ups include an allotted number of talk-time minutes, text messages and/or megabytes of data downloads.
