Typical price: £15
What is it: Inexpensive pay as you go phone

Tags: alcatel, text messages, ot, webcam
We like:
Sleek design
We don't like:
Keypad; not enough on-board memory
CNET UK judgement:
When it comes to inexpensive pay as you go handsets, Alcatel has definitely made a name for itself. The OT-S520 is another attractive phone from the company, but it's very basic and the keypad is much smaller than we'd like
