Coming because we realize that there are still some people who want something simpler in terms of a phone. And because there are some who want to go the pre-paid route with a low monthly price and the basic features. Enter the latest from payLo by Virgin Mobile — the Samsung M575 quick messaging style handset.

The Samsung M575 comes described as being the “perfect handset for Talk n’ Texters – those “basic communicators” looking for a stylish, brand name QWERTY phone with enhanced features.” And true that that statement, the Samsung M575 is a basic device. Features of the handset include a 2.4 inch LCD display, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, microSD card slot, Bluetooth and a 2 megapixel camera with video recording.

“There are millions of people who don’t want to spend money for higher-end handsets and expensive data plans that they don’t need,” said Mark Lederman, Business Line director, Virgin Mobile brands. “The Samsung M575 offers payLo customers cutting-edge design, quality service and reliability that is a perfect value solution for customers.”

In addition, the Samsung M575 also has support for web surfing, email and messaging, which as far as the messaging goes, that is said to be “easier” thanks to the threaded messages. Those who purchase the M575 will also find the regular numeric keypad in addition to the slide-out QWERTY.

Bottom line, the Samsung M575 has the basics. But perhaps the bigger excitement here is the price and the monthly plan. The purchase price is $79.99 and the plan pricing begins at $30 per month which includes 1500 voice minutes, 1500 messages (text, picture, email and/or IM) and 30MB of data. In addition, once you are running low, you have a few options available in terms of topping up –payLo by Virgin Mobile offers $10, $20 and $30 top up cards which can be purchased using a credit or debit card as well as PayPal account.

And lastly, remember, the Samsung M575 with Virgin Mobile is available exclusively with Best Buy.
