General Comments
Nokia 6130 is a mostly reliable, useful mobile phone with power on off button. Now dated aerial protrudes on right. Displays four bars for signal and battery. Good keypad, easier to read in dark when backlit. Part of a great range of Nokias with good accessories infra-red link and MBUS FBUS cable link to PC 9 pin serial port, or to PC-Cards for laptops
Lots of windows Software available for phone info and SMS Has hidden Net Monitor Menu item. Used on different networks can have menus like call forwarding - separate for FAX and Data, only partially or un-enabled. Used on orange pay as you go UK good signal. Also Telecom Plus via T-Mobile cheaper!
