NEC credit card phones

by K-Mart Mar 13, 2005 1:06PM PST

I've seen this line of NEC phones they only sell overseas including the N900, 923, 930, 940, and N500. The 923 is 9.5mm thick and makes the Razr look like my old math textbook.

I'm just wondering if anybody has ever had an NEC phone and if they can say anything good or bad about the quality.

I don't know anything about the NEC phones you are talking about, but if you are looking for a phone you can use with a credit card, try Virgin Mobile.

Your requirements are

$20.00 every 90 days

$.25 a minute first 10 minutes every day then $.10 a minute after that. $.10 to send text message(receive free)

FREE roaming

FREE long distance

(uses Sprint PCS network)

You can enter your credit card number on the website or call customer service(then when you need minutes)you can top up with your phone instantly

go to http://www.virginmobileusa.com to find out more

NEC Credit Card Phones

by AdelaideJohn1967 Aug 18, 2005 4:22PM PDT

I have an NEC N900 and for the most part I am
very, very pleased with the product.

I do however have a couple of minor gripes
and that is mainly to do with the fact that
you are required to keep the headset plugged
into the phone dispite the fact it does have
a nice built in speaker.

They could have packed a microphone into the
main body of the phone as well and the use of
a permanent headset did turn me off being a
full time user of this phone. I swap between
this one and my SAGEM MY C2-2 and Nokia 9210i.

ON the plus side this phone comes with a battery
sealed into the case and another one in the speacial
cradle the phone comes in. This does give you a long
standby and talk time so it's not a bad trade off
if you can handle the constant headset cable and
occasional annoyance from that.
