I am looking to buy a pay as you go phone, with WAP, to replace my old pre-WAP Motorola on Virgin.
All other things being equal, I would be happy staying with Virgin (my wife's phone is on Virgin also), but it's not very important.
I've seen adverts for i-mode, on O2. Looking at the O2 webite, on their cheaper PAYG models, (LG L343i, and Motorola Li), they both do not appear to support WAP, although the L6 does in other guises. Does anyone know if this is the case.
Does anyone know how i-mode compares with WAP? If using i-mode, are you limited to the existing i-mode sites, or can you look beyond them to WAP, or even full blown internet sites. As you can probably guess, all this is new to me, so any help/advice would be appreciated.
Also, I will be a low user (hence preferring PAYG), so do not want any regular (monthly) payments. The O2 site is not clear whether you can have a truly PAYG contract, as they seem to concentrate on add on packages with "free" downloads.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Edit: I'd particularly like feedback from any PAYG i-mode users, especially ones with either the L343i or the L6. Thanks.
