This phone is great for basic uses if you just want to text and call, nothing else fancy. Flip out keyboard is great for speed texting. All in all, great phone

  • my alcartel can't download jar files.why?i in nigeria

  • how do i do to unlock my phone because it asking me for a network key when i put in any sim card and it display menu whenever no sim card is inserted

  • This was the first phone I've bought and it lasted quite a while it's got alot of scratches on it now but ti still works. I've had this phone for a year and a half now but the charger connection in the phone started playing up so i started using my usb charger and now it's completely dead and not charging =) I wouldn't recommend buying this phone if you wanted it to last for a long time

  • i think it is grat ive had one for five years it just pakd up so i am geting a nuver so get it

  • i bought the alcatel from my friend lexi a while ago and she broke the screen but the alarm still goes off and i dont have a SIM card can i get it replaced or fixed and is it java enabled

  • Hi there i recommend you not to because of you do , its really a waste of time and as you know i was like you and i really liked this phone but unfortunaly when i brought it , it only lasted a couple of months because when you slide the phone up whats holding it is a plastic thing and most phones like this that slide up has a metal to slide it but this one unfortunally has a plastic on and does eventually break so yeaah i toke my alcatel ot 606 in the shop to fix and unfortunally they told me this and it cold not be replaced not worth your money serouslly

  • Can't any1 post anythin gud abt this phone? Am already havin doubts about buying it. Just gonna ignore 'em

  • it's awesome

  • That is because it is nOt a 3g or 4gPhone

  • why would you want to go to the net on a slow phone

  • Ok it could be from one or some or all fromthe above. 1.cell phone company 2. Plan you have chosen3. Broken phone

  • How can it be for kids if you typed that the key bored brakes. Kid+Alcatel ot-606=broken phone and waste of money

  • Probably the worst cell phone I've ever owned. From day one, everyone few text messages I get, the phone restarts, tells me i have no messages or contacts, then after 5 minutes it reloads it. If the phone is low on battery, it will remind me every 30 seconds for the next 2 hours with a loud and obnoxious beeping. And no way to disable this. I understand it is low on battery, why must it do this?! The vibrate function is incredibly loud and unnecessary, people comment about it everyday. Overall UI of the phone is poor, everything seems like a hassle to get to. Don't buy this phone. I only got it because it was cheap and I had no upgrade available. Save yourself the trouble. Web and e-mail functions are not even worth using they are so terrible.

  • this model is not efficiency! because in IVORY COAST it's very impossible to go in the internet!

  • right thats it's all stupid heres my honest opinion and i'm only 13 this cell phone is perfect for texting my mates and at £17.32 in england and $27.70 it's really cheap to be honest so really it's excellent for what you get you get a camera sms mms and web , music and all your basic features even games as well as a qwerty keyboard and your basic T9 keyboard so i generally use the T9 but sometimes when i want to tap out a long email or text message i will flip oout the qwerty keypad and tap away. Highly reccomended for teens & even tweens you cn buy this phone from pretty much anywhere in your local mall in the US or argos or online in UK! or visit; to view their products globally good luck

  • Nice,but how do i get ebuddy,for my ot 606?

  • you have just relived me,cos every one is rely saying no god about their alcatels.but i think its a great phone and the dnt rely knw how to use it properly.mine is pink.

  • what can i do to ge a gps running in ma Alcatel OT-606 One Touch CHAT???????

  • I can get picture messages and what not.

  • thes these phones are easy but most people say the menu is confusing but no u justshave to have brains but overall its qreat but prity easy to break

  • hi the keyboard is rubber

  • these phones can be great but at the same time horrible first of all if you guys are wondering why your phone turns off when you slide the keyboard up its because there is a plastic holder thats holding the keyboard and if it turns off when u slide it up or down its because the plastic holder has snaped in the phone these phones are not the best but its basically best just not to buy them because most phone has keyboards and they have a metal holder thats holding the keyboard to slide it up and down but these alcatel ot 606 phones have a plastic holder so its best u dont play around with the keyboard much because eventually it will snaps which is a big bummer its best to buy these phones for your kids just a handy phone for messages everythng else is poor quilty soo yeaah dont buy these phones there NOT the best

  • hi there sometimes this works but sometimes it doesnt but um if u bluetoothing to someone put your phone real close to theres

  • when you put the usb cord in to the computer it doesn't show up on the computer ?

  • I cannot send/receive mms messages either and have tried all I can think of...can anyone please help? Thank you

  • they're a good phone. but i cant seem to send or receive pxt or video messages...any one have any ideas why?

  • I was wondering if the text message display on this phone is one at a time or a conversation mode?

  • Are the text messages on this phone displayed in a one at a time format or in a conversation mode view?

  • 600 sms

  • hey...i just wanted 2 knw how many sms mesages this fone can hold in it....i mean....watz da storage capacity of da inbox...???

  • Man This Is THe Best Phone Ever

  • what kind of vidieo format does this device use for play back like say i want to play a movie on it?

  • This is the worste phone I've ever had the bad luck to experience! I've had it for a week and it's been a nightmare. To date I've been able to make 4 calls and able to recieve ZERO! The menu is confusing, the keyboard too small, and can't seem to get any apps to do right. Big waste of money and time. Avoid this phone at all costs!

  • this phone is not good because if a little thing happens to it the whole thing is screwed for instance now my phone does not update songs anymore it just turns off after its scanned 69 songs its soooooo stupid

  • facebook is free?

  • What's the price?

  • i own my own ot606 ALCATEL and like no (other ) alcatel this phone response is amazingly better...text wise other wise... ???just getting in touch , with wierd placed knobs... like right and left next too your green phone and red phone /// holding your phone for text makes things odd....thats all/// chat mode or text mode whatever?? nice hardware...

  • u cant do anything,the memory it mentions is the ram memory

  • There is no way to fix it I'm sorry. The phone is just can't handle it.

  • These are all my honest opinions and statements. And I don't mean any disrespect, I'm just trying to give everyone a good idea one what this phone is like. I've owned my Alcatel 606 for a while now, and I don't recommend it to anyone. I'm not going to flame it because "I just don't like it" I own one and know that isn't a good phone to have. I've dropped this phone only ONCE and that was on carpet and the phone had a protective case on, so that couldn't be the source of my problems. Sliding the phone open can sometimes cause it to turn off, or even more annoying, the screen will just go black, you will think it's off but then you turn it back on and it will show the last screen you were on, and turn off. And before you say, oh, it probably went into hibernation, it didn't because the phone wouldn't go back to normal by pressing other buttons. I have no real complaints about the keypad itself, it seems to be well made. Going onto internals, this thing only has 4 megabytes of storage, that's 1 song if you're lucky. The phone runs out of memory often, as well, and as a result, a lot of games, and internet, don't work well on this phone. The phone can, at times be slow and unresponsive, and it's almost impossible to find games for it, although that's not a big issue. The camera is horrid, you'd have better luck taking pictures with a toaster, and the sad part is I'm not even joking. TL;DR? Well basically, this phone isn't good, and unless your child needs a cheap phone for texting you or something, I don't recommend it.

  • Free your internal memory and try browsing again

  • please whenever i log on to the net, within a couple of minutes, i am informed that the memory is full and the phone instantly restarts itself.the most surprising thing is that i even have 1gig memory card in it-kindly help me please

  • i can browse conveniently with ma phone.i am always prompted that the memory is full...pls help me

  • having the same problem tell me if you know how to fix it

  • How can I enter to the internet for free?

  • Won't stay on Facebook for more than a couple of minutes. Internet usage is pathetic. I got a 4gig memory card to improve things. Made no difference. All you get after a few minutes is "memory full!" Best bit about it is the qwerty keybourd.

  • The facebook working but the internet isn't

  • Facebook app wont complete login and the on the browser gateway 55 error only works on oprea mini :(

  • please people which is better T-mobil vibe or this

  • my phone wont play all songs.It keeps on indicating format error,what might be the problem

  • Not too happy with the phone, while it is great for texting, and web apps like Opera Mini, its other features fall very short. The MP3 playback is a mess, the songs list get organized in a odd fashion and has the slowest fast forward I've seen on any phone, it may not be a problem with short songs but for longer podcast is a exercise in futility. I had mine for less than a month and already had to send it for repair: when sliding the qwerty keyboard out, the phone would just turn itself off. Maybe mine is a faulty unit because the phone was never mistreated or dropped to the floor. Prior to that I also had problems with it when connecting it to my PC, the phone would not register as a Mass Storage devise on occasion. I cannot in good conscience recommend this phone.

  • how do you create email account on this phone

  • Good phone for very FEW pennies. Nerds on here complaining should fork up 500-600£ pounds for an Android and then text there complaints to each other. As for the camera, its a PHONE nerds. Go buy yourself an Hassleblad!

  • My OT-606 Bluetooth device cannot be detected. I have tried with several phones but to no avail. Anyone out there with a solution???

  • This phone is an affordable phone with brilliant features. Alcatel is really good at making cheap phones, but you do get what you pay for. The phone keyboard is rubber, but feels really nice when you text. Oh, and I can't get onto Facebook of twitter either. I put my password in and it just keeps saying that it isn't right or something. Overall I think this is an awesome phone for someone who texts heaps and just wants a cheap phone that has great features. Only down point is the cameral which is only VGA (1.3 mega pixels). Dick Smith is currently selling them in Australia for $79. GREAT JOB ALCATEL!!

  • this phone is jsr-184 enabled?

  • Good Phone

  • it's good phones for yung gays

  • i have the black version yesterday buyed i love this phone. but is opera mini free and twitter facebook and palringo i hope it.

  • No, Its Not Touch. But Its Good.This is my comment.... Superb!!!!!!!!!

  • been trying to log onto my hotmail & facebook account with no luck, anyone know why?

  • hey guys! i just want to ask, is the normal keypad rubber or a hard material? please reply a.s.a.p! thank you so much!

  • is it touch screen?

  • this phone is freaken AWESOME how could anyone say itz not its a really good phone and i have one so blah ........

  • i tihnk its a good phone and easy enough to use i dont have one tough but ive used them a few times and they are fine alcatel are a good mobile phone maker !

  • One thing that Alcatel do not state in their instructions or even Virgin customer services told me is that there is a factory reset for this phone. This is holding the off button (red) and the hash. It warns you it is going to delete all records and reset to factory settings. Take out your 8gb card and sim first! That sorted out my problem. I think that the software locked up somehow. I am glad I discovered this because Virgin has yet to phone me about this. No wonder I think their helpline rings out to India!

  • This phone is useless slow and pathetic, i dont know why alcatel continue to make phones, its just an extremely cheap affordable version of a decent smartphone.

  • looks cool too bad its not as good as it seems

  • I bought one on the 31st August. I was initially making calls and people could not hear me on the other end of the mobile! Found out that call forwarding was activated, not by me! Worked ok until 21st of September when, in spite of being fully charged it will only operate as a phone, then when I click to view the menu it turns off! The camera on the phone produces pathetic pictures if you take them off the card. It's radio is superb, as is the MP3 player facility. I put an 8gb card in and had 148 songs on it and space for many more. I also loaded on some java games and they worked fine. The keyboard is great for typing texts and notes. The recording facilty for notes and the radio is very low level, and also low quality if taken off the machine. A good try but I think they have put too much on to a cheap telephone, and it shows by software glitches ruining the operation in such a short time. I await Virgin's call to collect this telephonic disaster!

  • i love this phone its brilliant

  • the phone is £22.99

  • i need network key for this mobile :'( any one have any idea of free key generation !?

  • this phone is just so cool and i really want this phone but i hope that i can get if i ever find out how much it is

  • looooooooook is coool but work dabba

  • 0.3 MP camera in 2010? No.

  • This cell looks cool, but it works??? and VGA should be out of the market.

  • wow what a babe.it looks so so gorgeous its a pity the brand is untrusted.not so popular and is not so recognised

  • the phone loooks really cool! but specs???? wat was Alcatel thinking???? come on!! VGA camera?? atleast gve 3.2 MP!!!

  • I find this Phone verry good looking,but i expect to have more good specs.for his cool type...anyway,i must be an afordable phone for developing countryes.

  • So nice to see alcatel back on top of their game:making funky,afordable phones...
