Free SIM + $10 Credit + Eve/Weekend (starting @5 at that + priced at $15/month) + Free Incoming Calls + Phone for $59 is insane. For someone working 9-5, this is basically unlimited talk plan. Phone even includes front facing camera but not sure what app would allow video calling on Brew OS.

Anyone (ie employees) know whether the account is left active for 6 months (for the eve/weekend promo) before having to top up or is it regular PYW rules?

I'm pretty certain the phone doesn't have a front facing camera. Is a very basic phone. Also, as far as I know its just like a regular PYW line, just with the deal for the first 6 months.

I'm almost certain it's the little circle in the top left hand corner. Most dumbphones don't have proximity sensors so I'm assuming front facing camera.

Also, how else would you video call without a front facing camera?

Its funny under speces they don't even mention having AWS 1700Mhz , yet they mention 850/1900/2100Mhz.'

Having said that I think this is an awesome deal.

I think it's sad you can't Google this phone and find specs or anything about it anywhere else. Well at least the first several pages before I gave up.

Probably a Huawei using a flanker name due to all the bad press

DOHS U GOTS DA BRANEZ DUR!

That's not the same phone.... Or wind has the wrong specs posted. I found that site too, find me info on the specific model.. That phone doesn't even have the right camera specs let alone band support.

And quite honestly that site leaves more questions to be answered like what kind of operation is making these things? It looks much more questionable than Huawei or Alcatel.

I have some experiance with such a company. It was Simocco. (Another fly by night company like GoWell). They had a nonstandard phone charger. Well, long story short, they went bust in 3months, and I couldnt find a replacement charger. EVER. It was a pain in the butt with that phone. Well at least it was cheap.

Since then I stick to brands like Samsung, HTC, Nokia etc.

Oh well - buy the phone for the plan, and go fetch a cheap Nokia Nuron or the like from T-Mobile and get it unlocked.
