  • from 1 to 10 I will give a score of 7 kind of slow, dificulties to stream videos, crashes a lot

  • This phone is ok quite slow and crashes alot but the radio sound is good and all social networks are fine and camera is ok its cheap like a budgie so im not going to complain

  • i think this phone is a great cheap phone and that no one is miss placing it with something bad cause it is a great phone people

  • does anyone know how to calibrate the screen for alcatel OT903?/ there's no settings for it in the handset. thanks

  • If Facebook is not a system app then now you can move it to your SD card. Other apps can be moved, try using "Apps2SD" sort of apps.

  • You can go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications then search app-by-app and see if the "Move to SD card" button can be clicked. There are apps on the Play Store and on Google wherein they list apps that can be moved and in a click you can move them to SD card (one by one, too).

  • That's where an external storage (microSD card) kicks in! ;)

  • If you're not a tech savvy and only wants a simple and entry-level Android smartphone then I think you should get this one. It's design is easy to grip so it doesn't slip from your hands.

  • Please share what software did you used in rooting this phone, I tried SRS, One Root, Gingerbreak, Super oneclick but failed, hoping for your quick response.

  • I bought this in Argos only had it a week found it sluggish I connected it to my computer re root now its been rejuvenated works fine now . (

  • internal 150mb makesit real slow ..cant play any game...but the music player itz amazing and vedio aquality is gud to,,,,,

  • guys at last i could make a root for this phone and i will post the video today on youtube my user: omar02003

  • yes there is its called uninstall every app insert an sd card and reinstall

  • weak processor and small space for games sad!!!! About it

  • the fone worked well for about 5months and then it turn out to be rubbish, the fone crash ever so often, dont buy.

  • Is there any software with which I could pass the phone applications to the SD card and thus improve the work since this phone has very little memory

  • Internal memory too small

  • Ram is low, so the phone is running slow and we can also can't move WhatsApp, facebook, and other applications on SD card so is there any software??? for that......

  • I got this phone about a month ago, i'm somewhat happy with it, hte phone is really cheap, but you can get the onetouch tpop which is way better for the same price (at least in my country), but if you still want to go with this one, please be aware that this is a low end android, it has little no to ram..., little to no space to install apps, and you can't move them or install them on the sd, until now its been impossible to root, but besides that its good enough for the money, decent camera, decent screent, built in radio,etc. I use it to play youtube videos, listen to mp3 music, chating with facebookchat, and playing on the gameboy advance emulator. There are two things you need to do with this phone to get it working decently, or you will want to smash it into the floor, first install the mtk CPU-Controll Test, and overclock the processor till 806 Mhz (Or underclockit when you are not using it too much, to save battery) and the donwload and install the holo launcher, and you get a very decent phone.

  • yes u can

  • i thing that for his price is very good but it has slow browser!!!!but i am in this and vodafone smart 2 which one should i choose???

  • top of the range mobile read my opinion

  • well i was not going to get this phone but when i got to the shop the one i wanted was not in stock,im glad it was out because this alcatel is a great phone it has every thing on it the you would expext from a top of the range phone,its easy to use and for a Android its fast, the battery is great aswell fully charged ityesterday at 3pm left it on all night on standby still 93% on it today at10,am if your going to get a mobile that you need to have apps running this would be the one for you ,i needed a mobile that could see my cctv dvr system with out eating the batt as i always have the wifi on this will do the job and its only 60 euro in ireland 10 out of ten for this

  • Very Decent Phone..couldn't find a better one in this price range..go for it..

  • Very decent phone. great value for money. I am very happy with this choice...:)

  • this phone is not a high-end phone. it gives you only the basic features - call, text, browse, file viewing. It is good for students, like me, who needs an aid in studying. do not expect more than that on this phone. i currently own this phone. sometimes, it crashes due to a lot of stuffs in its memory.

  • please anyone can you give me an opinion on this phone...is it a better handset to purchase?

  • mate why dont you try to root it and install a custom rom and oc the cpu to 800mhz,(srry for bad eng)

  • bad phone, really slow and has a bad memory no matter how big a SD card i put in it dont waste your money on this phone

  • this phone makes me cry everyday when in i am play games on it go back to the home page plz do not buy this because it keep on restarting and it has low memeory

  • runs slow but i like it i dunno i just like it. has okay features i will recommend it to friends

  • No to all of the above. Don`t buy this because its cheap and looks like it will do what you want it to do. Spend some decent money and get a good handset

  • Can I Upgrade from Android 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 ??

  • can you play apps on it

  • is this phone good for playing quality games?

  • yes it would be suitable

  • Great little phone for price!!,everything works fine,fun to use.Great sound!!,Camera fine!!,love the camera shutter button,works great!..Sensitive touch screen accurate,..radio great!! Great build quality!!,love using this phone.,..would definatley recommend it!!!

  • my alcatel is 903 is less in speed whill when i am using internet why is this?

  • can i use vibre & skype with this mobile?????

  • Replying to my own post -- this problem seems to have sorted itself out now. Maybe the SIM card just needed to settle in -- more often than not I get the full contacts list appearing now. Very pleased with this phone.

  • This phone had a good cracters and nice design i love it

  • the best phone ever jusone problem. how can i play wma files????? someone tell me what app to download pls

  • My Contacts were copied across from the SIM card when I bought the phone in CPW (SIM taken from older phone). I then added some contacts to 'phone' storage, as SIM contacts very full (nearly 200). Since then, both SIM and Phone contacts were listed together on the screen, but after a while the SIM contacts disappeared, and only the five new 'phone' contacts were listed. I did manage to get the SIM contacts back last night, just by random touches (was it a 'Revert' button I pressed?), but this morning only the five 'phone' contacts were showing again. I have the 'display' option set to list both 'phone' and 'SIM' contacts, but this makes no difference. What is going on??

  • good phone price and quality

  • My 9 year old has one, and he loves it. Easy to use, enough memory on the SD card for a fair few games and songs, and he has no probs with it. It is the price of a cheap, 'normal' phone, so go for it.

  • yes

  • Owners, please tell me: Is polish language available in menu or settings?

  • how do you connect to bluetooth ear peice

  • would this phone be suitable for a 11 year old?

  • Yes... Turkish language available!

  • Very good phone as well i feel a Smart Phone... for cheepest price...

  • Owners, please tell me: Is Turkish language available in menu or settings?

  • Install Connectify Pro to your HP notebook. In effect, your notebook will be a wifi sharing device. :)

  • how can I access internet on this phone trough my HP notebook

  • How do i whatsapp on this phone?

  • download --tubemate--apk,(from browser--search tubemate you tube downloader) and you will get the option to save video and it can be saved to phone or sd card.i have this phone and everything is very good.no problens at all.

  • I too agree with u

  • can someone please tell me why I cant download videos and songs and have the saved in my phone instead of just streaming from the internet?

  • All phones, especially Android, are reliant on local signal availability. However, after owning a sony ericsson and a samsung android handset and throwing both away, this has performed best. Faster browsing and excellent voice quality. Its not top end specs but I'm very pleased.

  • This phone has amazing features for the price. What more can you ask of a phone that's cheap and has amazing features.

  • I don't know what's firefox's problem but i'm quite satisfied with this phone. The only issue about it is that certain apps may take a little long to start up probably due to the slow processor. At least i could watch youtube videos or videos of facebook without any problems except lowing the battery life. This phone even better than the t-mobile (htc) shadow 2 phone that i also owned.

  • No man dont buy it with this price galaxy pocket is much better for 720 Le , 500 Le for this phone is not a good deal at all

  • Hi omer Iam waleed egyptian I need your experience with this phone because now it's equal 525LE in carrefour do you think this phone is ok with this price or not

  • Some people are very easy to satisfy. This phone is rubbish. Poor internal memory, poor screen,poor battery life, slow processor . There are much better phones on the market for not too much more money. This phone is ok for kids i suppose but not very good for serious users.

  • Hello I just got this phone's dual sim version OT-903D. It is a very nice small phone. I am very happy with this! Br Akis
