alcatel 2012 - User Reviews

  • This has the least durable LCD I've personally ever seen on a flip phone. Very disappointed.

  • Nope. It's way too big (for a flip phone).

  • hi pleas i need frimware 2012g

  • crap, poor brigthness, poor loudspeaker, cheap materials. LG G350 is way better than this. Best avoided

  • Both me and my wife got the Alcatel 2012. I am on Sky and she is on Vodafone. When she rings me she gets no ringtone but it rings my end . When I open it up to answer it cuts out. We both can receive and make call from all other networks including Vodafone

  • Can the prediction (function) in the messages be removed from this mobile please?

  • Dear friends, After one year of using this phone, the speaker above the screen (for listening in calls) trembles and i cannot understand what the other person says. Probably it failed, i don't even consider repairing it. Good and cheap phone but the speaker failed. Its a pitty but what do you expect from a cheap phone...

  • No my friend. No apps available for this platform. Very fiew only

  • It is 3g or mine is I buy from UK CPW

  • Does this Alcatel have a call filter, like the old Nokias and Samsung bar phones?

  • when connected to Bluetooth can not get phone book on screen any help

  • Hi. Just put it up for sale for anyone who can still use it. There are many places all over the world that still support GSM, so there's lots of people everywhere that can use it.

  • Yes. it will work everywhere in the world where there is a GSM signal.

  • Purchased this phone from Australia Post no more than 6 months ago - now it is obsolete as it is 2G only and 2G has been switched off. Will NEVER buy tech from Australia Post again and will NEVER purchase anything with the Alcatel name on it. Feel like every time they sold one of these in the last 12 months someone was sniggering and saying "We got another sucker".

  • Will this phone work on any carrier in the US unlocked?

  • I have been told by Telstra that this type of phone will cease to operate from 1st December 2016 even tho they are still freely available for sale. this is unfortunate as I just got one a few months ago and its all I need. If you call 1800 718 650 Telstra will issue you a new Telstra cruise phone free of charge. I know this as I just received a free new phone. Good luck folks

  • If u have Internet connection, u can install whatever you wanna to.

  • I meant micro sd card (got auto corrected)

  • How can I install whatsapp and gmail? I know I need a micro ad card.

  • How can I install whatsapp and gmail? I know I need a micro ad card.

  • Yes u can. optional

  • Can you answer the phone by opening it or do you still have to press a button?

  • To change your ring tone go into profiles, click into general, then options then customize and scroll down to ringtone , then options again and then change. You shouldn't have any problems then.

  • Is this phone any good as a first one for my 8 yr old just so I can keep in touch with him ? Can you download games etc x thank you x confused mum xx

  • Just purchased not sure how to change ringtone can you help p,ease

  • I'm having a problem with Twitter it keeps coming up with certificate validation failed is there anyone that knows how to get it to work please

  • I think 2g Telstra rep told me over the phone

  • Why no clear info on whether this is a 2G or a 3G? All phones on 2G will be obsolete in a few months time.

  • Will this phone work on the Telstra 3 network - 2 is being cut off at the end of this year 2016

  • Just purchased the white version of this phone and can hardly see the letters on the keys. Is there a way to brighten the light behind the keys, it's very dull?

  • We have 2 of these phone and find them excellent, but cannot find out how to change the ringtone any help

  • I'm pleased with my phone Pixi3 but my battery seems to run flat very quickly I sent four short texts yesterday and the battery went from 54% down to 4% Any ideas?

  • Hilite the picture , click options and use as contact , it will then ask you contact name .

  • Open contacts , scroll to the contact you want to edit.. Press the option button , scroll to edit . Then you have 3 contacts , mobile which will be in , then scroll down to the home or work place and add the number .

  • How do I extend the ring time on my alcatel onetouch 2012D mobile phone as it cuts to voicemail too quickly before I can get it out to answer a call?

  • How to get prediction on my alcatel 20 12d please and to stay on while im texing

  • I like my 20-12g but seem unable to transfer photos to my computer. Any suggestions? The instructions are too vague for a new user of this phone.

  • You are comfused. You trabsfer them on SD card wich works perfect. Sim only works for contacts.

  • Can you download Whatsapp on to that phone?

  • can you download whatsapp on to that phone?

  • When a person rings you how do you add a photo to the profile.

  • How do I add a landline number as well as a mobile number to a contqact name

  • Hi, How are you? To change ringtones, press menu button, then find the "Profiles" icon. Press Profiles then press options, scroll down to customise and then press enter. You will find a selection of ringtones by scrolling down the list To hear ringtone just select by pressing on your preferred ringtone . Once you have found the ringtone that you like, then press options and scroll down and press save. I hope this has been helpful. Kind Regards Jude

  • Alcatel 2012 or Samsung C3590 which one is better?

  • profiles...options.....customize

  • Can you change ringtones on the phone can any body help me please

  • Why cant I use a sim card to save the pictures via a usb. I have lots of pictures on my phone and cant use it. If that is the case I want my money back

  • Is there a way to add a language?

  • I finally bought this phone for me... I descovered that you can transfer a Vcard from pc to mobile through usb and open it in mobile from File Explorer. Then "set it as contact" and my phonebook is alive in this little Alcatel. Amazed I can say.

  • I used this phone from a friend in replacement for my smartphone for 1 month. ok, it is a cheap phone with no personalization setting expect thw calling tune and volume. No good for photos or video or web (wap protocol only), but i have to admit that this phone is a classic clamshell without an external display but i am ok with that. The best thing though is that in alcatel official site when you choose this phone from the "support" section, give you the pc suite software that anyone can download and have full access to the phone/sms/contacts etc... I transfered all my contacts from google to my pc with "export to Vcard format" and then from pc suite selected "Import from file". everything syncronised perfect so I decided just to live without my internet addiction while being out with friends. Today i repaired my smartphone but i am really thinking of getting this phone new, in case my smartphone breaks down. Be careful because the 1000 series does not support PC SUITE. for example 1035,1030, etc

  • Guys This phone has a different kind of application support...you have to install them in VXP format. i installed a app developed for nokia 200 and 225 in VXP format . You can also download app fromthe App store if it connects. Nw...anyone who needs the vxp file for Opera mini can mail me at [email protected] Take care

  • can't find driver for it so that i can move pics,etc onto my computer

  • Did you find out if this phone has wifi? Thanks

  • Can I install an app to read emails, please?

  • I find texting very laborious with having to scroll to the letter being wanted from a list on the left hand side of the screen. I cannot find predictive text - can anyone help me please. Otherwise I am fine with this phone - has bluetooth and is otherwise okay to use.

  • Had it 6 mths.Nice phone, battery life is really good, kinda large , specially wide. One thing about Alcatel batteries: in this world it´s easier to find the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 , than an Alcatel battery. Please manufacturers work that out soon !

  • All in all it has less options than my fridge. NO way to change sistem font color theme, NO way to make bigger or smaller display text. NO way to move around front widget menu and clock. Shortly- very, very poor personalisation possibilities. And if an older person would like to use the phone, there is no way to make life easier. How can there not be such a simple stuff in???

  • Makes use of EDGE, so you can use mobile data on it.

  • Is this phone 2g or 3g?? can anyone tell me please

  • conversation on messaging is supported?

  • does has vcard support, i mean one name with multiple numbers ?

  • please don't buy this phone i bought it and in 1 month the display went blank, service centre is not supportive in mumbai

  • no whatsapp on this phone

  • even i wanted to know thw same

  • Can anyone tell me if this phone has a whatsapp app? Thanks

  • you dont need to have two sim card the second sim is optional.. had a dual sim phone and the phone works perfect with just one.. its you who is making it bother you

  • Can anyone tell me if this phone has wifi? Thank you

  • you HAVE to use two simcards, otherwise phone screen always says "no simcard 2 installed" .... and it does that ALL the time. annoying but phone is nice. even the status LED in front is good idea

  • It's 2G

  • is this phone 3G ?

  • does this support viber and whatsapp.??

  • This phone in Australia is more expensive then very cheap smartphones, yet it has no email client? Very poor.

  • Using Bluetooth. 1 - open Bluetooth on both mobiles 2 - select the contacts on the old mobile 3 - choose to send them thru Bluetooth 4 - accept the transfer on the new mobile

  • How to transfer contacts book to this phone? Anyone help me?

  • Why would you ever want you use predictive text? What - you don't know how to spell your own language? Or you're too lazy to finish the words when you're texting? The person on the other side can wait for you to reply, and you don't need predictive text to write a stupid text.. Stop complaining about a function you realistically do not need.

  • Can anyone help Me ,I only get one alert per message can it be changed to More alerts until message is read. Many Thanks

  • Attracted by clamshell set up and by largeish screen I have used 2012g successfully for 2-3 months to send/receive texts, to phone home etc. Then it declined to accept incoming calls ; then declined incoming texts. No known reason or visible solution. Never had this with Nokia or Sony Ericcson phones. Fed up with hassle caused by 'bread and butter level' problems.

  • Anyone know if WhatsApp run on it?

  • Yes, the design is quite da nice but sometimes the phone is automatically switched off without reason and it's the most annoying thing I've experienced so far.

  • i want to buy it from you

  • Very decent Phone for its price. Responsive keys & the bright large screen makes it very easy to operate. All in all, a good choice for someone who needs a classic, non touch screen everyday phone.

  • Absolute rubbish. Predictive text is the worst ever! It has very limited words so will not write every day common words. Phone switches itself off. All in all, this phone is a con.
