Our 3 Skypephone S2x Review

For those who frown at having to pay over the odds to make phone calls, then the 3 Skypephone S2x may be perfect! With lots of added functions to make this a great phone for socialising, you should definitely consider it if you’re looking to buy a new phone.

This candybar style phone is highly attractive and modern. The keys look very sleek and the curved edges give a smart feel to it. Not only is this phone beautifully designed, however, but it is also a good size and shape to hold in the palm of your hand so you are likely to feel very comfortable using it.

The camera on the 3 Skypephone S2x is 2.0 megapixels. This is fine if you only intend on taking a quick snap when you’re out and about, but probably not ideal if you want for your photos to be of great quality. Autofocus makes taking photos on this phone a bit better, but if you like being able to take amazing photographs regularly then this phone may not be for you.

The greatest thing about the 3 Skypephone S2x is the fact that Skype-to-Skype calls are free. This is ideal if your friends or family are on Skype and you want to save a bit of cash on calling them. Also, free Instant Messages can be sent from the UK which means that you can chat to your mates quickly and easily with no worry about cost. There is a Homescreen Carousel which allows for you to go on websites and applications simply and gives you the ability to flick between them. The music player on this phone is perfect for anybody that doesn’t own an MP3 player or doesn’t want to always be carrying it around with them but still wants to be able to hear their favourite chart hits on the go.

The Skypephone S2x is fantastic if you want to stay in touch with people but want to do so inexpensively and you are likely to fall in love with it if this is the case. Although the phone’s appearance isn’t to everybody’s tastes and some people will prefer the idea of getting a phone with more applications as standard, many will find that this phone suits them just fine in its simplicity. Those who are looking for just a simple, standard phone will absolutely love this alternative since it is just as inexpensive but has some great extras to keep you happy.

Mix and Match Plans

A price plan which gives you flexibility, Mix and Match doesn't tie you a set number of texts and set number of minutes each month. With Mix & Match, you receive a monthly allowance, which you are free to use for texts, minutes or any combination of the two. This is ideal if you find your minutes and text usage fluctuates month by month causing you to exceed either your monthly text or minutes allowance. Mix & Match has been made simple, since 1 minute = 1 text, so you never need to choose between the two.

User Comments

As a student living away from home, the skype phone S2x was a good choice for me. It's great for calling my family and friends whenever I want without spending a fortune. I can surf the internet easily without any trouble connecting. Works for me!
