Good Points: The display, ringtone and extra features are far better than some modern phones (Like the Moto F3).
Buttons are raised, well separated and not as light as many phones, which helps with some disabilities.
If you like "retro", you will love the ringtones
Bad Points: Quite bulky compared to modern types, basic ring tones.
My be difficult or impossible to get batteries and accessories.
General comments: Although, back in 2006, O2 said that the Philips C12 phones were being "switched off", they only switched off the original sim cards.
These phones still work today, if you put in a working sim for the correct network. Ours still says BT Cellnet, but connects through O2.
Similar to the Savvy, which also still works If we can get it unlocked, we may use it in place of our Moto F3.

I can't remember how long I have had my Philips C12 mobile phone. I use my free best friend units every month. It's been a god send.
Today, when I was trying to add credit, I was told it will be switched off. It is going to cost me £55 for a new phone from O2 (they say I will still get my free best friend), but I am not a happy bunny with O2!!! I love my little phone. I have dropped it countless times, sat on it, and generally beaten it up, and it's never given me a single problem.

The Philips C12 when it first came out on the market was the rage, but after time you get to relise how dated it is now. But look around at other pag tarriffs and you will not see one that gives you a free land line number, which makes this phone differ from the rest of the market. But if you get the chance to get your hands on a rare online C12 keep it as a second phone just cause of the free number, O2 would like to scrap the lot if they had their way, don't give them the chance.- Read hydrafit's review (246 words)

My wife and I have had one of these Philips C12 mobile phones for about 4 years and have never, repeat never, had any bother with them. We mainly used them for text,probably not the quickest for that, and calls to family and friends who were on the same network.
Very cheap calls and text on the O2 'u' network. 5p a min and 5p text.(35p to landlines though) I don't think they do this anymore (shame).
A great phone if you want to use a phone for what it was designed for - talking. No good for g ...- Read cro's review (181 words)

One out three still working despite the latest scam by O2 to systematicly remove these 'free phone number' dinosaurs from the airwaves.
Surely they can't be costing that much to the system?
Wonder how long the last one will go for?
Anyone else been zapped by the O2 'tarrif update' specialists?
Value for money and Overall rating values given for un-zapped sim card, working models and reception in the Welsh hills is excellent.
Shame we're being wiped out:[- Read Busy Bee's review (190 words and 1 comment)

I recieved the Phillips C12 mobile phone 1 year ago and i find it really hard to find the latest ring tones for it. Still being at school you are still under pressurre to keep up with the latest fashions, fads and crazes and me and my friend are always the ones left out.

Overall, the Philips C12 is a pretty good mobile phone. No games or ringtones on it so that's a downfall for anyone who likes that personal touch, but it does have some very handy things like an alarm, calendar and calculator. I would recommend it to anyone who just needs a phone for emergencies or very rarely uses a mobile phone. Anyone who wants to get a phone that they can customize, don't get this.- Read Kev's review (118 words)

The Philips C12 is a very average mobile phone. I agree it may be light but with hardly any good points I do not see any good reason the phone should be on the market. Nowadays it is a) ancient, b) inexpensive and c) Hardly anyone has it. The C12 is a home use phone really. Compared to a Nokia 7110 (my Phone) it is out of the question. The Ringtones are terrible and there are no games. Small screen, Not WAP - Compatable and no IR-da. Unrecommended.- Read XL 1's review (98 words and 2 comments)

The Philips C12 is a user friendly phone, with cheap calls and useful stuff like a calculator, alarm, etc. I like the size too, coz it's not too easy to lose!!
On the minus side, it's a bit outdated and the ringtones are a bit naff. If you could download your own ringtones and have loads of fascias for your phone, it'd be great. Also, I think more games would be good, as would the texting option, if the person's name who's texted you came before your text, rather than after.- Read Cat's review (127 words)

There are no ringtones available yet, but it is a good phone to have. For example, you can phone a friend for free forever, and it charges up quickly. Sadly, there are no games on the phone, except the BioCalender. This phone should be bought by people who don't use it very much.- Read Ken's review (102 words)
