Motorola V70e has description like “Up to 4 days standby time” “WAP & GPRS Internet access” etc. Advert1 also showing the price plan with many different options, each option suits different people.

This price plan is actually informing the audience that company don’t have only the expensive offers, but they also have cheaper so it gives the choice to the public to look at the offers and decide which one they can afford. They also present the free extras like “Free software & cable”, “Free Personal hand free kit” offering to the public to make eager and excited. “No risk purchases”, “14 day money back guarantee”, “Free next delivery” all these phrases suggests the reliability, this means that audience are being persuading to trust the company, and buy mobile phones confidentially.
