Ericsson A1018s - User Reviews

  • You have to cut open the battery and resolder new elements inside - I've done that with my 1018 putting bigger capacity elements and everything works fine. Just be very careful with cutting the battery case, because when you glue it back aftewards you'll want it to look as "never been touched" :)

  • No none at all. I was wondering if there was any way of disassembling the battery itself to replace the battery cells? Maybe someone knows how?

  • AndyWalsall. Did you get any results with your search for Ericsson A1018s battery ?

  • Does anyone know where I can buy an original or compatible battery for my mates Ericsson A1018s or how to disassemble the battery so new battery cells can be put inside it. Cheers for all help anyone can give.

  • I have the phone and bundle including charger, USB, car charger, Microphone, ear piece and case. However, it won't charge!

  • Ericsson 628 og 888 m.fl.

  • I want a charger

  • Is there another charger I can use for a1018s

  • I need a charger and battery for the Ericsson A1018s

  • I do not know the other benefits for Ericsson A1018s

  • I have it.. but I want to know what other benefits about it

  • I have one. Brand new, never used, still in those plastic bags not removed. My grandfather bought it, but never had the chance to use it (RIP).

  • Here is one for sale

  • I want this phone plz

  • Well, longer lasting than a nowdays modern phone anyway:))))

  • I still have this phone at home. Great phone for those years

  • long lasting battery?? seriously??? this phone's battery was crap, it is not Nokia.

  • Rugged design, and long-lasting battery. That's what I miss these days. This was an excellent phone at the time.

  • im using 2 numbers with samsung galaxy s advance and a1018s..... haha.. : )

  • my first mobile phone i miss these times !!!!!!!

  • That's my first mobile since 1999 - and it is upto now the only one still! Well, I had to replace the battery twice (still available!) and had to fix the antenna with glue - but it's doing all right: I'm available on phone for my family, and I'm able to call anybody. What more does a mobile telephone need? Concerning me: nothing! (Besides: the "Retro-Look" makes that old bone really sexy!) So, I'm not only content - I just love it!

  • My first mobile phone. :o) I had got it in wine colour and with one-ear headset.

  • hehe i still remeber this phone this was my first mobile phone way back then i still remember i was grade 5 when i have this phone i really miss this phone

  • i miss my first phone

  • the first phone I touch and press. ....

  • how do you connect it to a 7 port usb hub please? can it work a usb modem? usb mobile broadband device why doesn't the chatboard offer a connection that can connect with the power cable at the same time - why aren't the hands free standardised 3½mm stereo headphone and mic jacks - why arent the batteries standardised? why aren't these fones regulated

  • the chatboard can anyone find a youtube video of it sending an email with attachment as promised in the advertisement what speed is the processor please? is there a usb 7 port hub with telephone modem and usb mobile broadband dongle for this device? screen a bit limited

  • i got this in my hand..but i want to find the charger

  • my first phone back in 1999. it was a revolution of sorts cos it had inter-changeable front panels... though the antenna kept sticking out of my pocket!

  • hi,have you still got the phone charger? cheers Paul

  • I have this phone way back in 2000! It was a very solid phone, very durable! I miss this phone...

  • I had a 1018 and the chatboard. I can't remember using it on the 1018 but I did use it on my T10 and T15. It worked differently on both. It was a terrible phone. I should have bought a Siemens C25 - which I got secondhand years later. I still have the C25 and it's still excellent.

  • did anyone get the chatboard to work properly it claimed it could send an email with an attachment never got it to work but did pay phones express �20 in calls trying to find out how to get it to work! no refund

  • wow our first family phone heheheh...so tough even if you throw or drop it.....

  • This was first cell phone which i bought in 1999whn i joined +1.............. 8000 Rs was the cost... The awesome part of this phone is that its got a superb coverage... Remote user's this the bes.

  • And mine first phone was 1018)) very much high quality from the Swedish concern. It is a pity now there is nothing similar, and phones ericsson. Nostalgia at me on it is black white phones))

  • I still got my first phone. It's still workin' fine and I'm so proud of...my A1018

  • This "brick" was my first phone as well!!! Back in 2000 it was superb and I never had a single problem with it! Now the battery is completely dead... I would like to resurrect my old A1018S...

  • I have one ... cute,it's my mom'z now..

  • Anybody wanna gift me this phone?i love it!!

  • where can I get a manual from for the ericsson A1018S

  • In a word, indestructable. I used this phone from 99 through to mid 2004. Then gave it to my parents, and it's still going. No idea what the casing's made of, but it should be used to make armoured vehicles - only scars it's got from six years of use are a couple of chunks out of the antenna. On its second battery now, and still only needing charging twice a week.

  • good for self-defense!

  • indestructible mobile, chunky and people laugh at you but these phones can take a kicking.

  • i've got exactly the same phone!

  • Dear Madam / Sir I try to buy the Ericsson A1018 S Can you tell me wher? Regards, Arik

  • Of course, Ericsson A1018s doesn't look so attractive as, for example, ultra-fashionable Panasonic or Siemens, but this phone works really well:-) And in my opinion the communiction media should firstly be working ok, but after than be ultra-fashionable...

  • my first phone is nokia 6210. very sophisticated. i like it alot because of the slim shape. teh one day, it is gone. bastard! but, anyway, limited on budget, i got this ericsson A 1018. very simple to use. but the antenna is a bit too big. it can beat my nokia 6210 in: -u can compose your own melody. -u can speak on the phone even in the lift. -very simple to use. -very comprehensive manual. if after u read the manual and do not know how to use the phone, u r too stupid! dis: -battery run dead very quickly. -the charger is the size of a borneo island. it is TOO BIG and heavy.

  • My opinion about this GSM phone is positive. It is a very simple apparatus and very easy to work with it. I have one of this GSM phone Ericsson A1018s and I'm very very satisfied by him.

  • I like the phone it is simple to use. Not too many features to forget. But I've forgot how to check the balance and add more credit!

  • I want about a1018s thank u

  • This phone is being dumped on the Dutch market, so I bought one for practically nothing. I love it already. It's definitely something else! It feels just right and has everything you need in a phone. Nothing more. The perfect no-nonsense phone for me!

  • I had this phone for 3 months thinking it would be cooler than the 3210. No way can it beat the Nokia. This Ericsoon is the worse mopbile one can get nowadays. I was really dissapointed about battery time too!

  • i think it is a good phone my mate got one and ring tones are fun to use

  • Great features

  • would any tell me if the ericsson a1018s can support network icons and if it can send me a link to a site with them on thanx

  • I think they are CRAP!!!

  • A good phone but it seems Ericsson can't make phones to rival others being a small size and a small antenna. But the big antenna means good call quality and the the Ericsson performs well in this area. The phone has a good menu too and the melody composer is fun although the novelty soon wheres off- the normal ringers and melodies are good enough!! Battery life is excellent too- the alarm is handy- the new model A2618 is actually biggere than the A1018 very wierd!!

  • I am appauled with the lack of internet sites which do not show any melodies just for a ericsson a1018s phone. I have spent 3hrs searching the web with nothing but nokia waved in my face. What is this an ericsson free zone or something???????????????

  • Perfect but no vibration (it's a shame)

  • tah

  • Is it possible use cyrilic to send SMS?
