Nokia 6030 (T-Mobile)

The good: The Nokia 6030 is a basic yet stylish phone, and it has a raised keypad, which makes it easy to dial by feel. The speakerphone and the built-in radio are a nice touch.

The bad: The Nokia 6030 has disappointing display quality, and the navigational controls feel a bit cheap. The handset is also a tad bulky for such a basic phone.

The bottom line: The Nokia 6030 is a basic phone that's actually stylish. And with extra perks such as a speakerphone and a built-in radio, the Nokia 6030 is great for those who just want to make calls.

The Nokia 6030 is yet another of Nokia's basic phones, primarily for those who just want a phone that works. Devoid of fancy features such as a camera, a music player, and Bluetooth, the Nokia 6030 is intended only for making phone calls.

County joins city in plea for higher cell phone charge

By one vote, Warren County supervisors agreed Tuesday to join the City of Vicksburg in asking for legislative permission to impose higher fees on cell phone customers.Local officials have said more money is needed to support 911 Dispatch Center staff and operations and they want the flexibility to increase the monthly cell phone fee from $1 to as much as $4.The bill is pending in the Capitol as a local and private measure, which can be acted on at any time until the Legislative session ends in about five weeks.Supporting asking for the increase were District 1 Supervisor David McDonald, District 5 Supervisor Richard George and District 4 Supervisor Carl Flanders.Figures show about 60 percent of calls to the city-county emergency number are now placed from cell phones.“People that use the system ought to be the people that pay," said McDonald, who is also the board's representative on the E-911 Commission.


MasterCard Launches Money Transfer Using Cellphones

MasterCard Inc. and the GSM Association, a wireless trade group, are launching a remittance program that uses mobile phones. Under the new program, remittance recipients would be notified of a transaction via text message sent over a mobile network. They could then access the funds with MasterCard products that don't require a bank account, such as prepaid cards.The program is meant to capitalize on the growing number of U.S. immigrants that transfer money back to their homelands on a regular basis.MasterCard plans to start testing the program in two markets within the next two months. Bharti Airtel Ltd., India's largest cellphone operator, and the State Bank of India are also slated to participate in the venture.Latin American migrants working in the U.S. alone sent about $45 billion to their home countries last year, up from $30 billion in 2004, according to a recent study.Card-based remittance programs have been slow to catch on though, in part because customers in some countries were not comfortable with card-based technology.

Prepaid cell phone reviews from PrepaidReviews.com

In the latest installment to our series of mobile phone website reviews the site we are looking at is Prepaid Reviews which offers a load of information about cell phone deals and the major US networks.

The goal of Prepaid Reviews is to inform you about the networks and deals before you buy a phone and to tell you the disadvantages as well as the advantages about each deal.

A good feature is the user reviews and ratings that can be added to each network. I always feel more confident reading user reviews rather than the opinion of a retailer.

A lot of mobile sites concentrate purely on contract phones so its refreshing to see one addressing the needs of the Pay As You Go or pre pay customers.

An example review is the Verizon one which states that "The Verizon INpulse plan is pretty expensive.
