Sony Ericsson Satio on Pay As You Go Deals
Pronounced ’sah-tee-oh’ the latest Sony Ericsson phone is now available on pay as you go deals, the new Sony Ericsson Satio was released at the start of this month and can now be connected to Orange, O2, Vodafone and T-Mobile as well as bought as a SIM Free handset, but now you can buy the Satio without having to commit to a contract deal with this latest launch as a prepay phone.
The pay as you go Sony Ericsson Satio is an ideal solution for those who know they may not pass a credit check in order to have this latest Sony Ericsson phone on contract as there is no credit check for PAYG phones, the handset price is also subsidised by the network meaning that it is considerable cheaper than buying the SIM Free version so long as you choose the network you wish to stick with although you will be able to unlock your Sony Satio in the future.
This new launch for the Satio also means that you can now give this advanced Sony Ericsson phone to someone as a present, the VERY lucky recipient can then register the handset in their own name, if the Sony Ericsson Satio is available on the same network as you currently use then it would also make a great replacement for a lost or stolen phone should you not have any insurance.

Far and away the most advanced camera phone to come out of the Sony Ericsson camp the Sony Satio is a powerhouse of photographic features and touch screen technology, offering an industry leading 12.1 mega pixel camera with features only usually found in a decent standalone digital camera the Satio blows the competition out of the water.
