alcatel OT-305 - User Reviews

  • Hello, My little brother was recently given an Alcatel OT-305. Unfortunately, when anyone attempts to call his number, their call never reaches him. Has anyone on this blog encountered a similar issue with their model?

  • I brought a phone and when I put my SIM card in it say assert fail I just don't know what to do

  • My Alcatel OT-305 gives a funny message whenever i switch it on. It says, "Quota usage warning!" then starts some countdown. When the countdown reaches "0" it just works well. What exactly is it warning me about. Help please!

  • i owned this phone i bought it two years ago and until now its still working and vibrating,a nice phone comes from a very cheap price.the only problem here is i cant log in to my facebook account anymore via this phone..i get more than i paid for...

  • How can I activate WAP

  • my ot 305 phone has a virus how do i flush it

  • ohh this is very nice & simple... i can afford this and give it to my cousin (shes 9 and i think she needs a phone)this has no wifi, but it has music (she likes to sing!) i would be really buying this for her at christmas! :)

  • not sure.Im intending to buy a cheap phone because im broke,with at least gprs for research.This is quite a good phone that suits my needs.

  • Dis phone is so tough, i accidentally dropped dis phone 3x, but doesnt affect its performance, dis phone is powered by a 500mah battery but it acted as 1000mah, very long bateri life, compare to its price, camera and mp3 player is a bonus, its loudspeaker produces bass driven sound, the price is so bargain,

  • Now, this phone is perfect for parents to give to their children and visa verse. No internet no bluetooth no wifi (Not needed) If you are looking for them, there is other options depending on your SP. This is good for a 911/999/119 phone as well. Just saying. (In my opinion everyone should research their options fully before complaining or asking how to use a feature that is not really on the phone. GPRS is there for MMS and that's it.)

  • thats a misperception it isn't safaricom its the manufacture i.e alcatel co. safcom dont manufacture handsets, its only but a service provider

  • mobile is great...i have 4 GB card in it...can i install games on it ??? and does someone know how to free unlock it on internet????

  • mobile is great...i have a 4 GB card in it....just to ask can i install games on it....

  • this is the great phone i had !!!!!!!!!!!

  • does it worth 18 euros

  • I thot the same but look at the manual closely and look for the star that will separate features of the 305 and 505 model. in truth its misleading 'advertising' but hey, its legal. Look for the star*

  • Hi Mwangi. I thot the same but look at the manual closely and look for the star that will separate features of the 305 and 505 model. in truth its misleading 'advertising' but hey, its legal. Look for the star*

  • this is the worst phone have handled period!

  • Someone says they bought a 2GB mem card and it works well with the phone. Mine has never worked. It just shows on the screen, but every time I try to move pictures into it, it says Path Not Found. To be honest, Safaricom have taken us for a ride.

  • I love the phone because of the radio - but now I have an issue. I suddenly, I cannot access my messages and internet. What is?

  • why do you include things like bluetooth on your manuals yet it is not there? sometimes you guys ought to be honest to your customer. otherwise the cell phone is good and worth buying.

  • Has been using this simple phone for three months and only wish it had bluetooth functionality tro make it whole.

  • oh i so agree you dude! =) too much complain about this phone but hell, its a great deal for such a cheap price.

  • Simple. Buy another brand of cellphone.

  • well the phone has a good shape and desing but what happens when u want to use other line it asks for network no.Can u give any possible means please.

  • What is the default passcode for this phone?

  • check the settings and ip address

  • i feel cheated!i bought the phone primarily becuase i thought it had a blue tooth!it is also in your manuals i had to google to find out it has no blue tooth!!am very dissapointed!

  • Yes it has arecoder and the option you can record it to mmc or phone

  • It can access the internet have you tried the settings try typing the address directly,Do you have the internet settings?

  • bkit wala ung bluetooth pero nasa manual user xa pktext nlng ako ipaliwanag nyo 09297052946

  • bkit wala ung bluetooth pero nasa manual user xa

  • what is network key the phone is requesting me while entering a new sim card

  • pag mabilis kang magtext..lalapas ang letra mo..hehehe

  • Why while l switch on my Alcatel mobile said Network Key? and l don no the Key?

  • what mini browser does this phone use and its version

  • great phone!a bargain for only php1389 bought it from wellcom and was surpassed my expectations, wap,torch,great sound,mp3,camera,micro sd..and a lot more...

  • The sound is considerable.

  • How about the sound produce by the earpiece? Is it clear and loud?

  • It is good using the headset

  • How's the in-call quality in this phone?

  • i bought this phone from comtel abudhabi only AED 111 its only good model which can i get for this price. perfomane is superb !!

  • Hi there everyone, can someone please tell me is there happen to be this speaker thing when everyone around can hear what you are being said on the phone?

  • I bought it from safaricom and what i like about it is the quality of mp3 tune.my problem is that i cant asses internet,help

  • its a good kind of phone great reception but memory cant hundle safaricom live

  • i came across an interesting article from CCK about consumer protection act with regards to product purchase, ithink its incorrect for safcom to sell ot-305 under the pretext that it has bluetooth yet it doesnt have, lets nail these fellas and get our justice. who's with me?

  • does it have a recorder? or how do i record audio with it?

  • - Download Manual for OT-305 - Download Manual for OT-505 :D *.PDF

  • i love the phone. but if u buy from safcom. it will only pick their network. defult security code is 1234. you shud change that.

  • Manual book shows/says it has a Bluetooth and i can not see it or how to connect it........advice plz!!

  • I bought it today here in kenya,but they are tailor made for specific networks

  • It picks 2GB Micro SD, mine is working well with it. Try en see if your Memory card is working properly by using it in any other phone.

  • just got this phone today as my backup/secondary phone so i wasn't really expecting much from it since it's so cheap. but as i play around, i was kinda surprised to see all the features packed into this handy little unit. it seems to me that no other phone of the same price can beat its features! all in all it's a great phone for a really cheap price!

  • Is this made in China?

  • Why does it tel me no memory card detected wen i insert a micro sd card of 2gb?

  • all those complaining that the bluetooth feature has been indicated on the manual, check again. the manual has two phones on it, ot-305 and ot-505. the bluetooth applies to the ot-505. its a good bargain, if you want more features, spend more. stop whining;)

  • I was looking for a cheap phone with all the features that I need so I bought this one. It turned out much better than I expected. GPRS, FM radio with recording, loud audio, mp3 player, flashlight, nice LCD display, vga camera... It actually surpasses other phones with the same price range in terms of quality. At a very cheap price, this phone is definitely a great deal.

  • ok guys...just to make it clear.. bad thing about it: it has no bluetooth at all the light of the keys is red camera, 5/10 (well, the price speaks to it) good things bout it: 1.you can save youre own vocabulary, (you can type and save a word you always type, soo you can easly type the word you save in creating msg.easily) 2.the lcd is good,. like the 1.3 to 2.0 megapixel nokia phones. 3.music player is good, the speakers are not that loud but you can still hear it even in a crowded place. totally, the phone is a great phone for a less budget,,,

  • hey guys.. stop complaining,, its a cheap phone,, but it has a good screen, music playback and fm radio,,, what can you expect with you're 2k(today its only 1,399php).. . try to find a branded phone with the same feature with the price of 1,399.

  • The phone is perfect. U can access the social site facebook and waptrick and even download. The only thing that i dont like is the night color on the keypad, everything is rd my friend.The usb cable how do we get them.

  • I just got this one 305X-2BALIT1 Not bad for the price (26 EUR here in Italy) but: a) USB connection is for charging only, and it's got no bluetooth, so you have to remove the sd card everytime to transfer files... b) removing the back cover is soooooo unhandy, really... +1 for the flight mode

  • The phone has no flashlight

  • Yeah dude, you're right ! the Flashlight is the best thing on it ! :))) lol. Seriously, most phones don't have a flashlight/LED blitz. :))) Alcatel 4 life =))))) (joke)
