alcatel OT-813D - User Reviews

  • This is an awesome mobile phone. Dual sim , and battery lasts over a week.. The only drawback is the resistive touchscreen , which always asks to be calibrated. Nothing more. At this price point , this is a win-win mobile!

  • can this mobile applying pdf

  • Can i install Quickoffice or other program for editing documents on this phone?

  • I have alcatel 813D onetouch mobile for more than 2 years. I have about 170 important SMS (most sent messages) in phone memory which are to be urgently copied into my PC / tablet for preservation. I am unable to do this job for quite sometime. Your website FAQ is of no help since the option mentioned in FAQ does not appear in my screen even if I press the message for 2-3 minutes. But usual single touch option alone is always seen. [FAQ says : Please long press the message and then a list of options will appear on the screen. You can choose the option by touching it.]. Kindly advise urgently. Also, in my mobile I am unable to read any pdf. Is there any provision or not. Pl inform by return mail.

  • Restore to wap

  • NO

  • could we install a viber app on this phone?

  • Tutorial to remove wrench/message icon from top notification bar: 1) Open Messaging. Open Settings and turn on Conversation Mode if it is off. Leave it on if already on. Press Back.(For some strange reason the option to open Setting Messages appears only if conversation mode is on. That is why it took me one year to figure it out. I kept searching it in Main Settings Options.). 2) Press Options,then Alerts. Open Setting Messages and delete all messages there. Also open WAP Messages and delete all messages from it as well. 3) Repeat the same for inbox of 2nd SIM(if inserted). 4) Now the message icons with a wrench in black bar at top will disappear. 5) Don't worry your Internet settings will remain intact. This phone supports only manual settings. These setting messages don't work in it like Nokia.

  • Open bulit-in opera mini or wap browser.

  • dear all Kindly advice about the push e mail in this phone can i see my company mail on this phone ,send& receive and so on can you please advice

  • No luck with uc browser,I guess.Install opera mini 7 signed version.I have downloaded files upto 200 mb with it.You will get the max download speed with opera mini.I downloaded my files over WiFi at an average speed of 52 kBps(416 kbps).Uc browser sucks(in this phone).

  • You should buy galaxy s3 with strong WiFi,faster processor and more ram for 65 US dollars(if u can).They are giving you dual sim,wifi,bluetooth,touch+qwerty for such a low amount you should be thankful to them.

  • No luck with uc browser.but you can use opera mini 7.I have downloaded 200 mb files with it.use micro sd as storage for downloads.

  • You buy galaxy s3 with fast wifi,more ram,faster processor for 65 us dollars

  • of course dude. in fact, you can change the phone frequency, just type *#364463#, select NETWORK SETTINGS>BAND SELECTION and select 850/1900

  • dude, you just first set the internet profile to WIFI ONLY in SETTINGS and also in the SETTINGS OF WAP BROWSER. then if you want to use the OPERA MINI or other java browser, JAVA

  • Please anybody know where can i get dis alcatel phone in nigeria,pls let me know.

  • is there a way of increasing the heap size of thos phone? it seems that i cannot download 3gp files that are more than 5MB. Hope to get a feedback.

  • I've been using this phone for a week. It's very nice phone. DUAL SIM + JAVA + WIFI + 16Gb MicroSD + BT (very good in pairing with Plantronics Headset). Almost any application (java or no java) could be set to connect internet in different way. That's a very nice messager phone. It's a bit complicated in some ways, but it can do things one way or another

  • this phone sucks you cannot connect to wifi and with poor memory and slow...suggestion! dont buy this junk

  • I was planning to buy this phone any suggestions in Greenhills, San Juan?

  • Oh, but now it is sale in Greenhills it costs 3ooo only

  • Those who are complaining about poor YouTube video quality.Here is a trick to use 240p 3gp videos with mpeg-4 video and aac audio codec.By default it uses amr codec poor quality 3gp.Dial *#364463#,select Misc.>Internet Application>User Agent>N72.You can later use default to restore to original.Now open YouTube from wap browser and click HQ to play 240p hq 3gp.

  • how can i extend characters in messaging in yahoo messages, facebook messages... i have only upto 125 characters. thank you

  • Thanks,if you have read my bad point#17 carefully,it has support for 4 division 3.5mm jack only.This jack has an inbuilt mic with it.You would see this with almost all Nokia and Samsung phones.There are four divisions in jack with mic support.You are probably using 3 division headsets with no mic included.There is some internal hardware difference between Nokia and Samsung 4-division headsets with mic.If you have ever tried Samsung headsets on Nokia or vice versa,you would have noticed that they don't work correctly.Either sound is missing from left/right earphone or sound is strange or mic does not work.As I said you will need an adapter with mic and 4-division jack and slot for inserting a 3-division jack of external headphones you might be using.This mobile supports Nokia headsets with mic support but not Samsung.

  • hey friend, can u please name the online site from whr u bought it. i have an idea to buy the black colour... thanks

  • what a detailed review without any faltu bakwas really nice one some clarification i also bought indian version alcatel ice3813d from hs-18 and my headphone without mic works fine with some headphone and not with other.. and i also like / prefer over this one over samsung-chat, asha-200 etc...

  • Sorry for double post.The first post was not by using Facebook.By the way I tested some 25 fps 320*240 mp4 videos and they worked.I also copied some aac+ and m4a songs,they play well but you cannot forward the song.

  • I am from India.I got it in black color from an online shop for Rs.3700.Before giving my views I want to tell respected site admins that it is a quad band phone.You can dial *#364463# and choose Network setting and then choose band selection,ignore the WiFi app warning and you will see option to select 850/900/1800/1900 or whatever freq you want.Also there are other option like increasing call volume.For this select Audio>Speech Enhancement>Normal Mode>Parameter 7 and enter 65000,then back and update parameter. Goods:1)Looks good,nice build quality,not like other china branded phones. 2)Touch is good for a touch and type phone. 3)You can minimize installed java apps,but only one at time.It does not pause your downloads and you can do other tasks. 4)Text ebook reader is very good. 5)WiFi detection is very good.Works with hidden/WPA2 AES PSK mode. 6)You can answer call on second sim even if first sim is using GPRS connection(only if you are using internet through java apps and not wap browser). 7)There are widgets on standby screen like weather,WiFi/bt/silent/vibration toggles,rss news feeds,music player. 8)Radio reception is excellent. 9)YouTube works well with UDP values 6770,6990 in streaming settings. 10)Facebook,twitter,email,messengers included are OK. 11)You can use it as webcam,modem using usb cable included in box.It also charges via usb.Battery Backup is nice. 12)Signal reception is decent.Messaging is also good.Conversation mode is available. 13)Screen brightness can be controlled along with keypad lights. 14)LED indicator for missed calls/messages. 15)QWERTY keypad is very good. 16)You can switch off any sim without restarting phone or opening battery cover. 17)You can install java apps in memory card also.Java RAM is 5MB. Bad's:1)Heavy java apps make the phone restart or do not work at all. 2)Few signed apps available for this phone.Unsigned java apps show too much warnings. 3)Bluetooth does not support file transfer protocol,which means you cannot browse files on SD card in your PC or from other mobile.It asks storage option(store in phone or card) for every sent file to it,which makes sending large number of files through Bluetooth time consuming.But file transfer speed is very good.Bluetooth is also not supported in java,which means there will be no Bluetooth file transfer through java.Bluetooth remote control will not work.A2DP works well though. 4)No copy/paste option in file manager.You will need a signed java file manager for that.Fortunately signed uc browser solves the problem.Or you can install medieval Bluetooth file transfer.Its BT functions won't work but you will get copy/paste.Use any date b/w 2009 to 2010 for installation of bt manager otherwise installation would fail. 5)Call/Headset/Loudspeaker volume could be too low for some persons,who are used to high volume Nokia phones.Nokia headsets work well but Samsung headsets will not work with this phone. 6)Music sound quality is below average.Sound output is too low.Sound is decent only in part/dance setting.Strangely,music player also detects mp4/3gp files like Nokia 5130 but plays only audio part.There was no need for this as it has a good video player. 7)Video player can play 320*240 videos upto 15 fps.You can play mp4/3gp.Any video above 15 fps is sure to fail.Screen switches off during video playback.You can use bt file manager to see videos as screen does not switch off in java apps.You will need to do it in java settings. 8)Camera quality is below average even Nokia X2-01 VGA camera.It is only good for taking images only for contact images.Camera performance is very bad in low light.Video capture is 176*144 at 7.5 fps!Not enough fro even MMS! 9)No option to turn off warning tones in general mode.An annoying beep plays during headset plugging in/out or at an error. 10)WiFi speed may be slower than your normal internet speed as it is only b/g. 11)Image viewer is good but lags in slideshow mode due to slow 208 Mhz processor. 12)You can record calls in high quality wave,but there is no button shortcut for that.No setting in Radio for sound format as it records in amr only.Strange! 13)Built in opera mini 5 is too slow.Use opera mini 7 and uc browser 8.6 for best results.Opera mini 4.4 and uc browser 7.9 will work best for touchscreen haters. 14)QWERTY keypad delete key does not delete,you will have to select delete from options. 15)No text copy paste option in text editor.So copying text from webpages in opera mini/uc browser is out of question. 16)Language is English only in Indian Version. 17)3.5 mm Headphone jack works only with 4-division 3.5 headsets and not with regular 3-division stereo cables.You will have to use adapter for enjoying music on large speakers(only option left after low output from loudspeaker and headsets). 18)No theme support.Only three color themes available. 19)Data transfer through PC suite is ultra slow.It is better to transfer songs through a card reader if you have large memory card. Verdict: In spite of so many drawbacks it is my favorite phone in below Rs.5000 category.I have used Nokia Asha 200 and Samsung chat(shit) phones.Still I will prefer this phone. Rating:8/10

  • read faq at Q8How can I reset my phone? Please long press the �#� key and Power on/off key at the same time in power off mode, then you will be asked �All data will be lost, continue?� After you select �Yes�, the sequence will be entered with reminder �Formatting flash, please wait.� The phone will auto switch on when reset finishes. Please do not manipulate the phone or remove the battery during this process. Please back up all useful information before phone reset, otherwise it will be deleted after phone reset.

  • how to restore this phone to factory settings?

  • simply the best cheap, qwerty, non-smartphone.

  • I sold my Asha 202 and get this OT 813D and I'd say it's a steal. I did get it around $71-72 USD (converted). The Asha 202 was a little more expensive than 813D but you'll be getting more from this Alcatel phone. I could do away if it doesn't have a touchscreen which confuses me a little cause it was somewhat a bit hard to be resistive, and a bit soft to be a capacitive.

  • hi guys.. been reading the comments/questions and it's kind of redundant so let me share this atleast: if you have questions on PC suite, Upgrade, software bug, specs and so on.. you can visit these websites: some common problems can be seen on the website, if you have major problems on your phone you can fill up the feedback form which can also be found on the website, response will be after two days.

  • I bought this phone because I wanted a cheap dual sim with wifi and keyboard (usually got nokia, but I couldn't find a model matching these criteria). Touch screen was a nice surprise (didn't expect when I bought); Good battery life,reliable,light, with a good display and features. Just disappointed about "contacts" which is not foreseeing name-surname, but only name (this caused a "manual" migration of my contacts); but a part this, I think you can't get better for the same price.

  • U can change the brightness manually.. so u will hav no prblms under the sun.. i m replying to ur post wit the same phon which i m using for a month.. moreover it has strong wifi connection

  • well ofcourse you can use your nail on it's screen because it's resistive.. not capacitive -_-

  • yes i did, i informed it with alcatel and they replied that install games with .jar format, some games would install but won't work, i think it depends on the game downloaded.. but still i got plenty of games that works on my OT-813D, hope this helps..

  • U ca use either of the internal or external memory for java.. i am currently commenting wit my alcatel ot813d

  • There is a software updater "ONE TOUCH Upgrade 5.3.6" but I am able to use it to upgrade my OT 813D. Any suggesetions?

  • That is true, even MTNL Mumbai people were blinking, when I mentioned this model number, about the settings.

  • The only issue i have encountered is that it suddenly restarts but it quickly turns back on. My nephew likes it so much so i gave it to him :)

  • Not able toconnect with internet as this model 813 D name not availble with BSNL.

  • can any one confirm about the touchscreen option. Do this phone having any button on the side for switching on/off the touch screen?

  • Is there multitasking between applications..

  • the phone has a software bug that after a while does not allow to send sms ... need to do reset back to return at work.No exists update. How do you solve?

  • hey friend can u tell me about the software... many said tht there is software bug, can we update the software???

  • Sure Samsung Dual sim is good phone, but when you compare the price and the battery life .... Alcatel is better

  • hi friends, many here complining about the low voice during the call problem and software bugs... clarify plz, can we update its software??? can we find pc suit for this model??? is its sound is clear during call??? how about the loud speaker clarity??? need ur help guys,plz share ur comments so tht it will help others who gonna buy this mobile...

  • Hi, I'm about to buy this phone and I have a question, It might be stupid! Do we have to install java application on the internal memory or we can use microSD?

  • Sorry to disappoint but i have mine for more than a year and the prints on the keypad still looks as good as new. As for the display its definitely superior to the cheap quality of samsung and nokia display in its price range.

  • You need Samsung Dual Sim ...

  • Thank God.... Finally i can watch youtube on this amazing mobile... 2 sim ... WiFi..... QWERTY keyboard ... Touchscreen .. what else i need?

  • really thanks for ur efforts mate... jus have few more questions, hope u wont mind... 1. do we have to select the sim every time while making calls, sending sms or do we have options like nokia where we can select sims for calls and message once in settings... 2. did u encoutered any issues with the software, can we update the software??? 3. can we find pc suit for this mobile... many said tht its tough to find pc suite software and if we found, there is many issues with tht software... looking for ur clarification... thanks mr.mRadwan...

  • I bought the phone recently, so it is still new. I think the keypad should be erased after a certain duration such as any other printed keypad, but currently the keypad is shining. I have no problem according to the display! ......

  • thank u for ur reply mate... jus want to know abt the screen clarity and brightness... is it ok when compared to brands like nokia and samsung ??? someone here specified tht letters in keypad will erase after some months, is tht true? thanks in advance

  • I think Keypad works fine with me! It have much better specifications than Samsung Ch@t 222 .....

  • how about the keypad friends, is it soft as like samsung chat 222... is it easy to type... waiting for ur reply thanks mates

  • hey friends, can i able to use all the functions of this mobile without using the touch screen... those who own plz help me friends... thank you

  • Can you set a keyguard lock code in this phone?

  • How do the SIMs work when texting? does it ask you which SIM to use before sending? or does it have a dedicated key to press (like samsung C3322) where you might forget what SIM your are currently using send it from there without you being prompted first?

  • no

  • which is the best Alcatel OT-813D or samsung ch@t 335

  • hey thanks for the info! very much appreciated!

  • is it possible to download whatsapp on this phone.

  • dual active and dual stand-by of course you cannot be contacted if ur making a call in any sim. but but u can receive msg at the same time. you just have to switch by clicking left/right to go to sim1 to sim2 and vise versa.

  • acceptable or average.

  • if your going to buy it here (in manila), it might not work in US. find a phone that will operate at 1900/850

  • Pros: wifi working perfectly i can read ebook by converting it to .txt keypad are perfect, even i have a big thumb. touch screen is very responsive. Cons: not advisable for game enthusiast. music player is below average. un-customizable file manager, cannot create nor move a file/s to folder. ring/alert tone keeps changing by itself camera is the worst. i still love it, call, text reading.

  • go to java java network choose ur network

  • Im from Manila and have plans of buying one here. Will this work in the US considering its only dual band?

  • i cant run the opera mini, any suggestions?

  • How is the call quality?

  • this phone is Dual SIM, GSM + GSM (Dual Standby) phone

  • this phone is really good for young people like me.. :)) coz it is affordable and has an up-to-date features.. :)) wifi already and dual sim dual standby... i just bought this last march 30..

  • thanks! just got a c3 jelly case for my OT-813D. it's not a perfect fit but it serves the purpose :)

  • this phone is dual standby and isn't active

  • please some one answer is it dual active or dual stand by?

  • hii for all those who lukin out for cover for this phone.. frnds u can use blackberry8520 rubber cover it perfect. the only prob will the camara part for that u just have to cut a bit behind. n rest all is fine.

  • it's really a bang for the buck phone. for those complaining about the touchscreen, it's a resistive type! works well with opera. i just wish it has a longer battery life, I got used to my samsung e2370 which can last for more than a week with heavy calls and SMS usage. Jelly case for nokia c3 fits but not 100% of how it should fit with the real c3. still no available accessories in the Philippines. Spare batteries are on a by-order basis.

  • You can use a jelly case made for nokia c3. I'v read somebody's post in alcatel ph's fb fan page that he was able to fit his phone to a c3 jelly case so I tried it myself :) you just have to cut a hole in it if you would want to attach a phone strap.

  • I only tried downloading games thru wifi directly to my OT-813D, not thru PC. With regards to 3gp files, you have to have the 'correct' 3gp file format. Converted 3gp files won't play but files that indicate a '3gpp' format play successful.

  • i tried downloading games from mobilerated.com on my OT-813D and it only took a few seconds. the games are quite entertaining.

  • i only tried downloading games thru wifi directly to the phone. some 3gp videos would play, others not. i found out that converted 3gp files wouldn't play but video formats that indicate '3gpp' play successfully.

  • just tried downloading games from mobilerated and i was quite so easy. i could play all the games but there's a catch. all the games are loaded with 'ads'. you have to get past them in order to play. i just set the network connection to wifi so as not to incur charges. some games would install but won't play so it boils down to compatibility issues. nevertheless i enjoyed playing some of those games.

  • i download .jar file games from mobilerated.com and 4shared.com and install it on my nokia c3... its so easy and works all the time. but when i try it on my ot 813d... the game would install but it wont open. i tried to download JAD file and install it, it still wont work. has ANYONE here tried to install a .JAR file game and achieved success... if so... PLEASE TEACH ME HOW... cause im starting to regret changing my nokia c3 for this phone.

  • can somebody help me... i download games from 4shared.com... i downloaded sims 3 to my brothers nokia c3 and it installed and run the game with no problem. i downloaded a jar file of the game and i tried to install it on my ot 813d and it was a success but it didnt run. i cannot open the game. i tried the jad file... same thing... can anyone tell me how to install a game on this phone please...

  • i bought it yesterday , it is cool but i need time to create a full openion

  • hey.. how r u all is this a Dual active or Dual standby Dual standby : when u being in a call the other sim is closed Dual active : u can receive a call while talking in another sim

  • Is Nokia asha200 better than Acatel ot 813d?!!!

  • perfect phone

  • ﺪﻟﺎﺧ­ ﻦﻤﺣﺮ­ﻟﺍﺪﺒ­ﻋ For youtube just go to settings>connectivity>straming>and set the UDP values to 6790 and 6990 ....

  • I connected my phone to PC via the USB cable and i believe i choose mass storage. But when i ejected it, i did it via the safely eject option on the pc. Now i get the symbol of the microSD card on my notification bar with a check mark besides it. And now i can no longer access the SD card via the File Manager. I cannot find a way to end this "USB mode" which my phone is stuck on. Has anybody encountered a problem like this and found a solution?

  • ther is a stearming opation in thes phone

  • hell no

  • Its now only P3400 in the Philippines. I originally purchased it last year for P3999. Unfortunately I could not find any jelly case or protective cover for this. It has survived numerous drops and bumps but it is still fully functioning!

  • I have a ot 813d its very sl0w in br0wsing in internet using operamini unlike my old n0kia 2700!

  • Thanks! where did you buy your 813D? How much? i like the black one.. Also area there any available jelly cases for this unit?

  • For youtube just go to settings>connectivity>straming>and set the UDP values to 6790 and 6990 Thanks for this tips! now i can watch youtube on my phone

  • there is. it also lights up when charging the phone.

  • for all those who bought this in the Philippines, does this have a led indicator in front when it receive a text message / calls?

  • what about youtube it can run youtube or not

  • Yup. even i have been facing the same issue with the screen brightness Level. not even that the phone sometime switchoff while performing some heavy task.

  • sometimes the display suddenly turns bright when you unlock it but it turns back to your preferred settings. sometimes the phone "restarts" when i run too many applications at the same time. but that's barely a problem. i give this phone a 9/10 for superb media entertainment!

  • i've installed googlemaps and it works but you need to have data. that means you have to have internet connection to browse the maps.

  • Its got some minor glitches which are somehow tolerable like: Brightness level changes to level 5 sometimes after unlocking phone (I lock then wait for the backlight to turn off then unlock it again then it will be back to my preferred backlight setting)and phone hangs and restarts sometimes while changing settings on the alarm clock. Anybody else encountered these glitches?.... Eventhough I encountered minor glitches, I still like this phone very much! Best value for money with all its features.

  • Which is better phone alcatel ot 813D or samsung ch@t335?

  • I cant enable google maps on this device, any advive/help? Otherwise the gagdet got impressive features, fast internet (esp via Java + Opera Mini).

  • wi-fi works very well. Maybe ur router is not compatible or you have to check setting on it

  • I have a problem with SD card .. its not readable in my phone !!! some times its readable .. i dont know whats the problem .. i just bought it.. no trauma at all

  • using this phone 813d why i cant connect on its wifi im using linksys anyone here got wifi problem here?

  • from philippines. bought this phone last september 20. i'm contented of this phone's dual sim ability. much in the messaging, sim a and b are separate. that's nice. now, i already gave this phone to my mom last jan. 10, since that day also, i bought the nokia asha 200. compared of the dual sim to asha, i must say that i'll rather choose alcatel's capability than of nokia asha regarding to the specs. but i'm happy with my asha too.. you can customize more settings unlike in to phone. i can both recommend Alcatel OT-813D and Nokia Asha 200..

  • mine was a software problem.

  • Did it take long? Was it a hardware or software problem?

  • hi, bought the phone a week ago, do u know where i can download Q-R reader i have tried several times and failed.

  • You can buy it in Serbia.:)

  • yes i has the same problem.when ever i tried to updated a new contact or write mess,or edit any options its automaticlu switch off and restart it again . i went to its service center and got it solved.

  • I have a big problem: When I try to send a SMS, After choosing the person to whom to send it, when I try to write it the phone turns off. Has anyone the same problem? How can I do?

  • there is no anti varius is avail for java :(

  • can anyone help me as to where i can download free antivirus for my alcatel 813d mobile plzzzzz? :D Much thanks....

  • to download games go to www.mobilerated.com...but i have a problem with streaming when you intend to watch sth on youtube,it fails!!!battery backup is nice...what i hate abt this fone is that it cant download some games and their is no version of adobe flash supported by this device.

  • go to downloadwap.com, select 320x240 screen resolution then choose the games you want to download.

  • hey guys which site can i go to to download themes for tis phne? thnx

  • worst phone ever with a lots of software issue...regret of buyin it....

  • This phone is crap has lot of software probs,low volm,pls dont don't buy this phone.

  • Thank you Alex for your comments were more than helpful. It is always good to hear impressions from real user. Usually people who have never appeared in his hand and did not have a model, and as a rule, their "comments" are negative. So, based on your suggestion, I decided to buy this model. I sincerely thank you and wish to you Marry Christmas and happy New Year. All the best!

  • in my opinion voice volume and quality are good. the battery life is not less than 3 days, with a normal usage and keeping it on during the night, without using wi-fi.

  • Tnx so lot Alex, and if you want just to answer my questions, how to be heard, as you hear caller during the conversation and how much is the average battery life on a single charge. I had Alcatel OT-800 Chrome (it was perfect during conversation). Tnx

  • yes the led is for message and missed calls. and you can set an alarm and switch on the phone

  • I intend to buy this model, but I have a dilemma regarding the LED lights located above the screen in the upper right corner. Is used for information regarding the missed call and message received. Also, do you wake-up call can be switched on if the phone is turned off. Tnx

  • i love this device, it have hight voice

  • I've read some negative comments here, but in my opinion voice volume is good

  • any one can help me for telling me how you can send sms WITHOUT saving it?!!! thanks.

  • i want to buy this phone. i want to ask about voice volume during call, is it normal or bad ? please can anyone answer me

  • If the phone is turned off and you charge it, hours after a check symbol indicates that the battery is fully charge. The camera is not kinda good unlike Nokia VGA phones. Video quality is below fair. Audio is not that loud. During call it is advisable to use the phone only either handsfree or not, earphones volume seems low. I still got problems regarding youtube streaming using wifi. Phone body is not that compact unlike Blackberry. No multi-tasking while sending messages. It can send a message using a timer. Nice! :) It has conversational message which is also a threaded messages. I don't know what the message icon with a tool(is it a wrench? located at the upper side) means. How I wish that the SD card slot is not located at the back of the battery and also the secondary sim. Overall, it is a good phone with its price range. 7.5/10

  • yes, it has..,

  • any one tried to upgrade the software of this mobile im very afraid to do so any one has ideas ??????????????????

  • why there is no games in my phone ???? how can i download games to my phone 0t-813d ???/

  • Anyone send me .jar file of OneTouch Mail?

  • Hi friends. I've been able to configure streaming when using SIM card (simyo spain) making a profile in streaming options using UDP from 6790 to 6990. Can somebody help me how to configure streaming when using the WIFI? Thanks!!!

  • The video recording capability is really QCIF 7.5 fps, not 15 fps. The other specs are OK.

  • ok youtube works setting udp values and changing connection type in wifi :)

  • it doesn't work after changing udp values :(

  • you can use the parlingo application

  • In italy doesn't work push mail. The onetouch mail (java program) doesn't install in this phone. where can i download?

  • this phone is DSDS

  • hi... is it dual Sim stand-by .. or dual Sim active?

  • Ok ba battery nito? :)

  • yes, it has., thanks

  • i'am glad that it has facebook application, but then the facebook chat doesn't work!!., as well as you tube i don't know why., if possible can you teach me how? thanks in advance.,

  • No document viewer on this phone for doc, pdf, ppt, excel. Any solution for this.

  • I have had this phone for almost two weeks and I must say I am impressed. threaded sms, youtube streaming,wifi,push mail all works as expected. the keypad feels nice to the touch and once you get the feel of the resistive screen, you will wonder what you were without it. the touch screen is responsive by gently tapping with your finger and thumb scrolling is quite good. Battery life with medium browsing without wifi is about three days..the drawback is that you cannot enlarge pages by finger motion but for the price.. go get one!!

  • does this have threaded SMS. Is dual standby same as dual active?

  • more java games..go to umnet.com just regester...then enjoy browsing & uploading!!!

  • did u solve dis problem?wat software did u use?,same with mine...can u share with me,tnx...

  • Hi guys there are many mobile products and phones are avail in the universal but when i bought this ALCATEL OT-813D the univesal in my hand, ofcourse i can say this is ever great mobile phone in the mobile world. I strongly recommend to peoples to purchase this, anyone looking for purchase new mobile just go for ALCATEL OT-813D, it's worth & great.

  • in which countries can i buy this phone? in croatia certainly cannot

  • must say. this is quite impressive. kip it up

  • thanks for the UDP. it works like a charm. I have had this phone for three days and i have nothing negative to report. The resistant screen is smooth not like the china models..definitely a great phone for the price.

  • For youtube just go to settings>connectivity>straming>and set the UDP values to 6790 and 6990

  • I have this phone some weeks ago, and it's quite good for the price. It's not as cheap as other Alcatel (I paid 70 euros for it from Hong Kong), but still is a decent price. I bought it because is dual sim, and has some other features making it a phone in the medium range (mainly wifi). Everything works OK, without any super good feature and with little weak points. The menus are fast, you can tune them with your widgets and fast acceses, and the JAVA is fast (not like OT-708!!!). It has some software faults, like some problems with passwords and with the Opera Mini configuration (is a included JAVA app). But these bad things are little and the rest of the phone is OK. By the way... the phone all itself is made with a rubbered plastic, very smooth and comfortable to handle. The keyboard is not as good as the cheap OT-255. Overall vote: 7.5 over 10 points. Not bad.

  • i'm planning to buy this phone on saturday. where can i find this phone? is there any alcatel mobile store in pasig or mandaluyong? please advise guys. btw, how mush is the current price of this phone in peso? please advise. thank you.

  • Just purchased this phone days ago. Although I had apprehensions since I'm more comfortable with Sony Ericsson, I took the plunge and bought this since it's the only phone with the features I want that I can afford. I must say I was quite impressed with it. Considering the price (P3,999) you get to enjoy WiFi with FB and Tweeter apps that are already included. Battery is also good so far. I find it a bit lighter though but nonetheless, still very comfortable to use. Faced some problems re: WiFi and Opera Mini, always experiencing error when connecting. The camera is not that great but hey, with a price like that; I can't complain. Real bummer though is that it doesn't come with free MicroSD card and streaming with Youtube is next to impossible. It's 7 out of 10 for me but it's worth the risk and your hard earned money. Kudos to Alcatel.. Rico Yan comes in mind :-)

  • Hi i have my Alcatel ot-813d and i can say that this is one of the best phone in the market. It's like an alternative for Blackberry. It's Opera Mini works so fast i can download many games and it's touch screen is responsive.I just don't like the earphones and the camera but overall it's NICE.I love the phone. If you are looking for a case compatible for this phone try C3.

  • Is it possible to update this phone's software? Has anyone done it?

  • How's the earpiece sound quality? Is it loud enough?

  • this phone is good at all, doing all the basic functions of the phone, the entertainment is enough can read some eBook format, touch screen,wifi and battery life is good for one week doing the normal task and the only thing that I don't like is the camera not good in dark areas

  • Touch and camera is not so good.....without light camera is like hell........ culd nt find games.......... otherwise the best combo touch type and dual sim..nice look nd keypad....widgets are a new exp for me...got it yesterday ...... 7/10

  • hi guys, i'm gona buy this phone so pls tell me about this phone. is this a good phone?

  • all i want is a dual sim phone,when i tried and tested this alcatel 813 and samsung chat 322 and chat 222 at sm north, i was vry DISAPPOINTED with this alcatel phone!.touchscreen not responsive, you have to press it wid your nail!!.and the letters and numbers on the keypad somehow get erase overtime,,etc.., I got IMPRESSED with samsung phones with their nice display even cameras are gud,, its gud that i tried those..now ive changed my mind gonna buy samsung phones soon for my bday gift.

  • Battery is not good.. It can't last long.. Volume during call is low, meaning the voice on the phone is not that loud to hear. I CAN'T WATCH ANY VIDEOS FROM THIS PHONE! 3GPP, AVI, MP4, DIVX, FLV! COULDN'T PLAY FROM THE VIDEO PLAYER!

  • I've been using this phone for more than a month now. I can say that I like it a lot and the features are great! Dual-sim, touch and type, widgets, wifi no problem. I have wifi at home. I cannot just play videos on youtube. I need to download another browser to be able to do so but the size of the video is not that good. Too small. overall- 8/10. Good phone though. still enjoying it.

  • cant browse in opera . Go 2 menu then java then option then select wifi . Fb , email , opera wil work in wifi

  • "low volume during call" - it's terrible (( Please, make little bit clarification about it - does it mean that the caller's voise is to quite, and, in the street i'll have some problemms with it ?

  • i still don't know yet how many msgs. it can store.. few things i discovered about this phone.. cons: no battery full indication; you will only notice that the battery is already full.. when you plug the charger, it'll charge again. no message counter no call duration in the call logs difficult wi-fi access no creation for a new folder in the menu no cut & paste of text no hot key for marking low volume during call 50mb internal, up to 16gb micro sd no multi-tasking while sending a message placement of headset and slot for ohone lace are in different direction.. pros: 5 pages for widgets fast charging for up to 1 & 1/2hr. only long battery life speaker is loud for music playing and listening radio clear radio channel slim model, light weight simple & handy features

  • Tnx 4 ur immediate rply, one more question, how many sms can be stored on each sim??, im nt really looking 4 a gud cam n sound quality,, i ve watched it on youtube, what i like abt this phone is the interface, touch with qwerty, built n structure,1000mAh batt(better if 1500mAh), dual sim(MOST IMPORTANT!)..plus it is durable bec when touch is not responsive enough, u can use the qwerty, is'nt?..4 abt P4k, sure its a BIG catch!,

  • yes.. screen is good under the sun.. bought this phone also for my bday gift for myself the next month too! ;)

  • actually, SAMSUNG CH@T 222 was ALSO my 1st choice under dual sim category..that is cheaper than this one.. but compared w/ SAMSUNG, it has no WI-FI, nor TOUCH QWERTY..but SAMSUNG CAMERA, even though VGA only, is WAY TOO BETTER THAN this one..

  • actually, SAMSUNG CH@T 222 was my 1st choice under dual sim category..that is cheaper than this one.. but compared w/ SAMSUNG, it has no WI-FI, nor TOUCH QWERTY..but SAMSUNG CAMERA, even though VGA only, is WAT TOO BETTER THAN this one..

  • im interested in buying dual sim phone,i think this is much better than samsung chat 322 & 222, with all the specs and comments, im gonna buy this as my bday gift 4myself next month,im just curious abt the screen color dsplay, are the messages readable when under the sun, ive 2 samsung phones both have weak sunlight legibility,pls answer me soon..

  • just bought the phone yesterday.. only 3,999php here from Philippines converted to US dollars, it's only $95! my 1st ever qwerty phone.. actually i'm hesitating to buy this one.. my 1st choice was nokia c3 qwerty.. but then i took the risk just to try this touch qwerty dual sim.. i could say that the touch sensor is above what i'm expecting for.. also the widgets, you cana customize it..there are 5 pages for wigdets at the home screen.. dual sim is good, nothing negative about that..ONLY the CONS/NEGATIVE about this phone is actually the 2MP CAMERA..quality is not for 2 MEGAPIXEL, just like the CHINA PHONE CAMERA.. not much of the features, but you can customize it..average scoring for that one. NO THEMES AT ALL! i'm fun of ACCESSORIES, but then black, blue and red are the only themes of this phone..phone built is NICE! i'm contented with the structure, coz it's LIKE RUBERRISH PLASTIC HOUSING..keypad, nice..still practicing on it..still didn't try the other apps for browing..BATTERY TOO IS GOOD! long lasting..CAMERA, THEMES, PROFILES and 50MB INTERNAL, i must say that the DISADVANTAGES of this phone.. all in all it's 8/10 for me..

  • I love this phone. It's great, try it out.

  • try downloading opera mini version 6.1. mine always works in all wifi hotspots:D

  • just bought one today. tried every features and i think its a great phone on its price range, touch and type, wifi, dual sim are one of its main features.Screen size is good only for tweets and fb update but for heavy net users maybe its not the one for you..

  • I've encountered this prob also, every time i try to connect to our school's wifi using Opera Mini it prompt connection error. I still have to use the wap browser to go to the log in page of our school's wifi. The worse case is that, the wap browser connects to a different log in site. XD

  • Its look very good.It is good for ruff and tuff use,

  • amazing exp.of touch+qwerty.

  • this handset beter than nokia c2-03

  • The problem I'm facing is I'm not able to connect java applications using WiFi, outside my home network. If i connect from my home wifi network it connects (i connected the device using wifi first from my home). Both wap browser and java applications (eg: opera, facebook) connect from my home. If i connect to any other WiFi network outside my home, only the wap browser is connecting using the wifi. If i try to use any other java applications like opera or facebook etc. it shows me connection error. I checked all settings on the phone that I could do. I also checked the "java network" settings, that is also set to "Wifi only". I don't know what has gone wrong. can anybody help me please?

  • is there option to sync Exchange mails in this phone - Mail for exchange ??

  • Are there any delays when typing a message?

  • go here look for something like... "streaming vids"

  • I'm from the Philippines and I must say, as a cellphone fanatic, I'm quite pleased with this unit. Probably just two weeks ago, I was using a Nokia C3. That unit worked out fine for me but when I changed units and I got this one, I found this unit, er, more interesting than the C3. I find all the features quite handy, plus the fact that it's touch-and-type, it's really not a phone to be taken for granted... only one drawback... some movies that I downloaded won't play... hmmm... probably compatability problems... anyhow, IT'S A GOOD BUY with GREAT FEATURES! (Php4,000.00 = $100.00)Get one now!

  • I love tha feeling of the plastics the qwerty keyboard and the dual sim capability. the menu is decent and the aplications runs quic! for its price in my opinion is a very nice phone.

  • hi guys... i have problem. i cant watch videos on youtube.. it keeps me stream start error.... do ya know what do i need to fix it??? i made a stream profile and blah blah blah.. tryed 1000 forum things but not works... pls help me.. thnx you a lot

  • Is the firmware upgradeable?
