For the vast majority of us, 2012 is proving to be a pretty tough year financially. We are tightening our belts, battening down the hatches and finding creative ways to make our money stretch a little further each month.
Enter a new wave of budget androids available on the market place. I know what you’re all thinking; budget means basic. But, that no longer has to be the case. Mobile technology has come a long way since the days of featureless, boring budget handsets.
It is now possible to purchase a pre paid cell phone you wont be embarrassed to take out of your pocket, without breaking the bank.
Here is a roundup of 4 of the best-
