Wild Card by Kyocera Wireless


(3 out of 5)

MSRP: $99.99


This budget messaging phone is a pretty good bet for users who detest contracts.

Review date: Jan 23, 2008

While they’re still somewhat of an anomaly, prepaid phones account for a growing share of the market, and Virgin Mobile’s latest offering, the Wild Card by Kyocera, may increase it even more. With a full QWERTY keypad, low price, and an ample music library, the Wild Card is perfect for young people accustomed to texting on their parents’ dime. With a prepaid phone, parents can make sure their messaging fees don’t go through the roof. It isn’t the most attractive handset, and downloading music could be more intuitive, but for those on an allowance, it’ll do just fine.   Wild Card Design

  • Decent music quality
