alcatel OT 512 - User Reviews

  • There was a very good telephone. I liked using it and a yes proved to be unique in the school. Long time ago into fifth class I got it from the father for 20,000 forints at Westel. Mostly his games and the music editor liked in him, oh the aluminium cover. He was repaired only one times, his joystick went wrong then. Then the 511 one I obtained it under a correction.

  • i want one of these

  • This phone was gifted to me, I cherished this as my first Phone. Am really grateful to my cousin for giving me this phone to start with.

  • It was a very good phone.I buy the phone from store but me because I was a idiot I change the phone after a week with another phone.Still regret the choise made!

  • I've had this phone for 11 years, and this week it died. Think i must have broken a record! Still had better battery life in its last week than any iphone :)

  • This was my very first phone, and to date one of my top five...granted technology has moved on a bit since 2002. I recall that it was quite robust considering the fact that the case was plastic. It fit in my mouth (I shall not get into details there) and it lasted nearly two years, at which point it was stolen. I replaced it with what was then the 'it' phone, the Nokia 3330, and I was quite miffed because my little Alcatel was more fun, and had better equipment. Also, the battery was better than the 3330. This walk down memory lane is quite irrelevant, yet the nostalgia makes me yearn for a time when cellphones didn't all look the same minus a button or minuscule detail here and there.

  • i had many memories with this one,from the smallest mobile,voice recording and use for calling tone

  • It was a very good phone from a brand that was not well known in Malaysia. Fact, not many people use it. While I've once used it for a while, it has been great. The build quality wasn't that high compared to Nokia but just good enough. The design is pretty cute but a shame I decided to sell it while it could've been in my collection...

  • I've had this phone for 2-3 years till the screen broke down... was a really good phone, good sound quality, signal and i liked the function when u could set an event and have the phone auto-send SMS. This phone brings back so many memories

  • I've got this phone since may 2003, and it's still working great. It's small, have a lot of features for his times and it never let me down. I just love it !!! That's too bat that he got obsotlete in thi era of 3G, 1.3MP & FM Stereo features...

  • Simply functional and reliable. Very light and handy. I just love it. Too bad that's quite old.

  • I have an Alcatel 512 from 3 years and I never had a problem with it!

  • different about OT 511 & OT 512 and How to activate FM radio??????? I'm very confuse about it but its desing very cool....

  • I am a lawyer in Chennai, India and have been using two phones of this model for the last two years and more. I am very pleased with the phone, but am unable to get replacement of the pannels anywhere, even after contacting Alcatel Hotmail Service. The name/address of the dealer that they gave me of Delhi (Innova) has claimed that they have nothing to do with Alcatel! What do I do? Please find me a way of getting two new pannels (front and back x 2). Thanks.

  • please tell us about this problem in ALCATEL mobilephone ""conditional activated"" best regards

  • this is the best telephone i've ever had

  • very nice phone.. i love it very much.. i wan to buy it

  • i want to install new ring tones in alcatel one touch 512 what is the process i should follow

  • sorry i dont recive the pic. message on this phone

  • The Alcatel 512 is the most frustrating phone I have ever found. The functions are arrenged in the stupidest way imaginable; I thiunk it was a rushed job!! Please do not buy this phone! (I am boycotting ALCATEL altogether, for making such trash! Just a few of the cons include: - You cannot send SMS messages, once your SIm card is full; this stupid phone insists on saving all unsent messages on the sim card, EVEN though there is abundant space in the phone memory. SO you may have to delete messages before sending a new one! Of course, there would hardly be a warnig, so you may find yourself stuck, 3/4 way into a lengthy message. - Inefficient use of screen space. - Poor arrangement of commands (pressing the OK button, continuously,when reading a text, could easily, accidentaly delete your message. -Poor name-search feature; only searches with the first letter of a name - During calls and text composing, blacks out abruptly and wipes away your messages and data. --- MANY MANY more problems, no more Alcatel!

  • Good and reliable.

  • Very, very good!

  • i find that my mobile has got some problems. whenever I try to make a call a msg. "CONDITIONAL ACTIVATED" appears and at cetain times some other . i would like to know what is to be cone.

  • Alcatel 512 is an ok phone 2 years back it was the best phone around. Now, it is a embarassment 2 me. I wish i had bought a better color phone from the beginning. Anyway here are it's comments:- Pros: Cool backlight, lightweight, ok polyphonic tones, Cons: Pathetic predictive mode, irritating keypad, soft ringtones, slow response, ringtone downloads are heavily edited by the phone, cannot receive pix messages. Conclusion: Try 2 avoid alcatel

  • I have an Alcate 512 and I am very pleased with this type of phone. I think it is a good phone.

  • the marvelous handphone i ever got

  • Hello, I have an Alcatel One touch 512 and I must say that it is a very cool phone! However, recently, I feel very left out as all my friends have color phones such as the Nokia 6610. Anyway, the Alcatel OT 512 is still ver functional and that is what's important. Overall, here's what I think about the phone: Pros: user-friendly, good reception, very affordable, okay polyphonic melodies, light, EMS. Cons: Hard to download anything, no color, Polyphonic melodies too soft compared to Samsung models. Overall Rating: 7/10

  • am a fance on alcatel phone becos,b4 have been use 1 touch db, 311 ,now 512 is nice phone. and pls alcatel is a complit phone i tell my friends.........thnaks

  • Mah...nu stiu altii cum sunt dar....eu as vrea sa iau un 512, fiind abonat ORange il pot lua la un pret special..am auzit ca are multe functii interesante...dar arata cam cretin, cum arata si toate celelalte telefoane, iar faptul ca toata lumea incepe sa-l cumpere..incepe sa fie ca nokia 3310, de cand cu ofertele de la connex si orange@!

  • I have just bought my ot512 yesterday and I really think its great.I had a Nokia first bust it has been stolen and nou i think 512 is better. the only problem are the ringtones...can anyone tell me where can I find free ringtones on the Internet for 512? thanks.:)

  • I think the alcatel 512 is not a very good mobile phone. It breaks very fast, and is not easy to use.

  • no one will want to buy my phone

  • Hurry up buy now for my phone 512

  • I have an Alcatel One Touch 512 (gold), and i want to sell it, Anyone. The Price is $160 (The Phone is used for about a week) why i am selling it? I want a Alcatel One Touch 715.

  • Best ever!

  • It's a very nice phone, and my girlfriend has one! Nice!

  • very,very light and small,nice features(the recording is a lot of fun),has very good signal .but the poyphonic ringtones aren't too great and the screen isn't so blue like in the comercials.the keypad is bad iluminated.still i concider it a very good phone(especially if we take the price inti cosideration)

  • Hello, how could i download - Polyphonic melodies via the wap? And could i use - Polyphonic melodies like ringtones? thanks, mail me. ok? :)

  • I am thinking of changing my phone.now i have alcatel 302.should i chnge it for the new 512?

  • pls inform me for the price 512, thanks

  • this phone is fairly good the lightest phone in wieght It has a new unique colour "the sandy gold" easy to navigate.. good varaiety of options .. but the ring tones volume is low and also to change memo into melody don't give satisfactory results also i'd like to ask about sites for free icons ringtones .. alcatel should care about the calender and to give the phone book the ability to discriminate between the different numbers in the same directory . it worth the price difference from the 511 even with the new soft ware which imitate the 512. thank u alcatel for this phone

  • good phone. hope people try buying products like this than rely on popular ones like Nokia.

  • good

  • I'm asking the guys who own one. Is this phone capable to record the conversation during a call, like a Motorola (series v.5X or v.6X) does ?

  • hey i won a by a may i have the phone?

  • interested! send me your price

  • The ALCATEL below is 512, not 511, sorry about that.

  • I have an ALCTAEL 511 (gold), and i want to sell it. Anyone ? The price is 140 $ (the phone is used for abot a mounth) Why am i selling it? I want a me45.

  • sir check ni

  • ive been using this phone for a while now and have one word to comment it,ASTONISHING.. with a size like this and a feather weight you can hardly feel it it your tightest pocket 50 voice recognized names and a powerful vibrator ;) the only 2 things that really suck in it are the stupid strange ring tones which sounds like a classic radio and are quite low the other downflow is the weakly illuminated keypad where you could hardly see the letters in lighted conditions also the keys arnt equally illuminated some are bright the others are not,confusing. overall an exellent phone ive been using it after an ericsson,nokia,samsung,sony and this one beats them all.

  • How can I install the ringtones in alcatel OT 512? Can you give some examples of ringtones that can used in my handphone>>alcatel One Touch 512

  • Favor Indicar como se puede abrir este aparato por la parte de enfrente, ya que presenta un desperfecto de falso contacto en el boton de encendido y apagado.

  • Hy. I have some questions for those who have the 512. At the meintenence menu, Charge Ctrl (000000*) I have the following info (i'll separate the lines with /) : RE 000 / 00000 000 / 4,16 / ---- ---- 00 / 00 LiP1 0000 / 092 0000 / 4,15. Is this the info your mobiles have too? Another question is about the Zoom function : do you have it? I looked all over for it and coudn't find it. Overall a very good phone. Good work Alcatel!

  • interested! send me your price.

  • i want this model but it is expensive for me,i just have a club db model but i don't want it,how can i buy this

  • Nokia being the best is absolute bullshit. The 512 & 511 are more predictive in SMS writing than a T9 enhanced phone...People are just too lazy to learn the features...as for the slow phone book loading ..please go to ur dealer and update the software....ring tones are not too attractive but the voice receiption and heard on the other side r better than Nokia, and Ericsson, and Sony 6510 included...Antennae manages to hold calls in low reeption areas where the Nokia falters...Please I have used all the above brands and find the Alcatel a good compromise no nonsense phone for the price....u need a nokia costing .5 to 1.1 times more to get the same features..Only slightly fragile casing is a problem easily dented and scratched....

  • just bought my 512 here in Belgium for 159 �uro. Excellent price for fantastic mobile phone. and 'morpheus'...YES it does ring and vibrate at the same time...better check your settings again. For this price I say BUY IT !

  • good phone but software?

  • ALCATEL SUCKS A LOT !!!!! It's phones can't vibrate and ring at same time (why, oh why??), and it's software is so slow that it's faster to go to the closest store and buy a real mobile phone (Nokia, Siemens or SonyEricsson)

  • halo ega, I send u an email asking where to buy this phone Indonesia, but you never answer Is Your Email valid ...please tell me where did u buy it In INDONESIA and how much doest it cost in rupiahs....thanks a lot

  • I use this phone and I need ear phone. I live in Indonesia I'm looking fot ear phone but they say that in indonesia it's hard to fine it. so I want ask where I can buy earphone in my country??? thank You

  • can you help. How do i get it to vibrate and sound when recieving a message

  • nice size and weight, display is moderate excellent voice quality, poor keys impossible to see through their dim light not a good phone for messages price a little high for alcatel, you may buy it for size and polyphonic tones, no master reset no organizer or calender recorder is of poor quality

  • The most advanced and unique phone! I loved it! Thanks ALCATEL!!!

  • jeffret the idiot and the uneducated it's u,moron!talkin to stragers like that!Do u know that guy?if not,use proper language u animal!

  • its a 512 u idiot!

  • ALL in on User friendlly, beautifull , powerfull!!!

  • Very good !!!!!!!!NICE......

  • Its small and compact but the screen is too small to see the graphics and its not as user friendly as a Nokia.(especially when sending an sms messages.

  • Alcatel OT 511 is a really nice mobile telephone!
