The Virgin Mobile, pay as you go cell phone Oyster offers a small, compact phone at a reasonable price. The phone does not have any camera or keyboard features, but it does have the ability to send, receive and compose text messages along with normal calling. There are a few games that come with it that offer a few minutes of entertainment, but not a long term fix. The website for Virgin Mobile offers the opportunity to download a variety of new ring tones, backgrounds, screen savers and sounds for the phone to help personalize the phone to more of your normal touches. the phone is durable and has survived a few drops to the floor with minimal effects to the exterior. The shell of the phone is a hard, white plastic that is very durable. Overall, a reasonable priced, reliable phone.
