  • This is Good! But in Bangladesh no service center here!

  • i bought this phone from holland &now i want use it in india with indian sim so plzzzzz tell me how 2 unlock it for indian sim...........

  • Can anyone tell me about the CDMA version of this set as a modem?Also about the music player?I'm really interested about this phone.Do anyone wanna help me?

  • thats a nice set.......i like it.....

  • what do u do in time of recieve a call?Remove yr casing?

  • Dear, I have need the software of this mobile for the modem. So that plze. you give this software. Thank you. My e-mail : [email protected]

  • I am also using it as a modem and also happy for the service...

  • I bought CDMA1X from Citycell 2750.00 BDT. I using as Internet modem. I got 10-16 KB/Sec. download speed. I am happy to use that. previous time I used broad band internet line but Alcatel OT 805 music CDMA1X hand set is better than B.band line. I also faced a great problem of other hand set: when hand set use as a modem, battery can't backup 1 hour above. But this hand set charging at using time. So... Elias Ahmed Dhaka, Bangladesh +8801912920000

  • I have 2 units of this phone in CDMA version with Wireless Modem. Very nice a CDMA Internet modem gives speed upto 132 Kbps speed. Mp3 Playable. The worst thing is that it gets hot while using for call or internet. So I put it inside my Computers Casing with a cooling fan infront of it. I mainly use it for internet connectivity. Very good so far.

  • Wish I never bought it. Telephone reception bad. Case - screen marks very quickly. Only good point is it was cheap. Had an Alcatel before and that was good, but Not this one!

  • hello, i've just bought this phone, but the problem is the phone gets very hot during a long duration talk. I can feel the heat burning my ear. What is the problem? How can i solve it?

  • I have bought the CDMA 1X version in Bangladesh at 50$ Pros: 1.Can play mp3 through loudspeaker 2.Nice mp3 output through headphone 3.Can be used as an internet modem 4.Lite and nice looking 5.Red keypad backlight looks nice 6.Backcover is fingerprint resistant 7.Nice & clear call sound Cons: 1.No joystick 2.No calendar 3.No 3.5mm jack or converter 4.Hard keypad cause pain after long time pressing 5.Only 4 built in wallpaper 6.No bass in mp3 player while using headphone Over all it is a good phone

  • i have CDMA version of e805, in $42 you can't get better phone this. Sound is awesome. I use 1x internet with it, believe me its better than a $100 modem. Only backdraw is you can't set the wallpaper rather the embedded ones. Other wise this phone looks cute and its os is not that stupid after all. The options it has, has with full features. If you are finding a music phone under budget it is the one you are looking for.

  • Sigh, if can listen to music through loudspeaker would be cool. It's a great phone though for it's price!

  • Fazil no offense but if you thought this phone was a super fast super computer with a highly advanced virtual reality music orchestra... you are wrong... you should have paid more attention to checking out the phones specifications before you bought it. The phone is a very good phone/mp3 player if you consider how cheap it is (30�).

  • this phone is bad!. bcoz its system is to slow and old. mp3 player is not work at load-speaker, i have this phone and only 3 week i used it, i sell it. this phone is boring!!!

  • Yes it has a loudspeaker, but you can not listen to music or phone calls out loud. When listening to music you must use the headset. BUT! The phone features a 3.5 mm jack which enables it to be hooked up to ANY headset or stereo speaker system.

  • can someone help me please does the phone have a loud speaker

  • i kno som1 ho haz diz fone, and he luffz it, but i dont, coz it iz ugly and stupid! y wld any1 want a �10 fonee. By a SE, a wlkman 1 if u r so in to ur music, dat ud go rond wit dat fing rond ur nek!

  • The design is excellent but the color is ugly, out of the three, only the blue can stand out a bit. Besides, where can I get this phone? My Email is [email protected] Bebesides, I noticed this phone is listed as a CDMA phone on a Chinese phone web site, with a different name, and the name OT-E805 was given to a different phone, which is all black with red text and buttons if you know what I mean.

  • The Alcatel S853 has an FM receiver, but as custumer surveys show... the FM is rarely used.

  • what phone model of alcatel does have fm radio? any knows? i just notice most alcatel phones dont have fm radio not like nokia

  • is microSD included on the phone? does have fm radio?

  • nice mobile;value for ur money, all mp3 bit rates are supported,but havn't calander.another good feature is standard 3.5mm audio jack.OT C-701,707,717,825 r nice music phones.it's better than sony ericsson or nokia music phones becaues it's have very good audio quality output in cheap price.thank u alcatel....!

  • Files will appear in alphabetic order.

  • can anyone tell me if you put the music files in the phone, will it play in the sequence that you transferred it?? pls email me [email protected]. thank you very much.

  • My pleasure, please be aware of sites claiming to know the full specs of a certain phone, always double check on different sites (like the phones manufacturer site) or for real in the shop before you buy!

  • Thank you knight rider, it seems that I've got onto a (Trick), because i read a specs of that phone telling me that i can set the mp3 as a ring tone,...any way it is good phone..

  • You can not create custom MP3 ringtones with this unit.

  • Hi all, I've got the E805, there is some thing about setting the mp3 as a ring tones, i tried to convert mp3 tones to 64kbps format or 32kbps , but it doesn't work also, can any one tell me how can i set the mp3 as a ring tones???, thanx

  • For those who can't create sms messages. Simply put a different sim card in and it will work. Apparently they were shipped with faulty sim cards. I've just swapped sims on mine and it works now! Whoopey

  • hi all, i have the e805 and it is a very good mobile in relation to its price... but i wanna ask what is the max microSD memory it can manage?? and if anybody has a pc software that supports it plz um in need for it... THNX alot...

  • I'm really thinking of buying this phone. I'm only first interested if it has an address book in which I can associate more numbers with just one name? For example my dad's number at work, at home and mobile number? In that way when I select "Dad" from my address book that I'm being asked where do I want to phone him at. And does it have an organizer or reminder? Like meeting or birthday reminder? Older Alcatels did have this good feature, like OT 511 and OT 525. Thanx! ;-)

  • For issues and questions about this phone, email me at [email protected]

  • i dont seem to undersatnd how the mp3 works.could u help me with how i can download the files unto the phone.its not playing when i load them.thnx.

  • hi i have just purchased alcatel ote 805 and i cannot work out how to send text messages help plz

  • Please keep the forum comments in English please.

  • The phones "remote control" features a 3.5 jack yes.

  • Yes, it has a standard jack or a 3.5 mm jack.

  • i heard that this phone had a 3,5mm jack. is it so ?

  • Did you try to read the manual to see what it says about connecting it to the PC. I have never had such issues with the phone. Maybe I can help, email me at [email protected] and describe your problem in full detail I will see what I can do.

  • I've got the same problem. When I connect my phone to my PC to copy mp3 files to my phone I get the message that I need to format. I'm not sure what to do. Can I format without getting into a lot of other problems. I search the site tctmobile.com but couldn�t find an answer. can anyone help?

  • First of all, make sure your phones memory card is properly plugged in. Also read the section of the phones manual thats goes about using the MP3 and memory card. It sounds like your card is not properly formated, you need to format it. You can do that in the phone (I think) and or via PC.

  • hello i cant send mysic on my fone through USB i dont know why. please can u help me. when i connect the fone with the computer it says the file has to be formated , i dont understand what it means

  • If you and all of the others who I helped to satisfaction send a mail to Alcatel and or TCL saying that maybe they will hire me haha! But it was my pleasure to help. Remember my email is [email protected].

  • Thanks! You should ask a bonus to Alcatel by helping them to sell E805s!

  • I took the liberty of making a picture of the music connector for the E805. The USB end plugs into the phone, while the other end features an "answer button" "volume control" "microphone" and a 3.5 mm jack in which you can plug any headset you want/have as long as it features a 3.5 mm jack. The connector is also used as a handsfree set, to make calls. Click link to see image For all your Alcatel questions mail me at [email protected]

  • Yet another question for some polite owner (might as well take advantage of Knight Rider's answering session...): regarding the use of a different headset, I understand that I need to connect it to the adapter that itself is connected to the mini-usb port. My question is: can the original headset be disconnected? Because from the pictures it doesn't look that way, and I'd find annoying carrying the phone, usb-adapter and the original headset in my pocket, while using a different (better...) headset. Thanks in advance. I'm posting this here because I can't find any shop physically carrying this mobile!

  • Does the headset for this phone work with the E801?

  • You could purchase a portable speaker set (for mp3 players) that can plug into a 3.5 plug. That should do the trick.

  • ive got the phone and it dosent play my songs out loud is there a speaker that can do this

  • Check your email box I mailed you.

  • hi.i'm thinking about getting this mobile should i or not?.please email me with your thoughts.

  • ermm u kno da ppl dat said da messages doesnt av a create option if u bought da fone on orange or anyother network just ring them up and ask them to send u a sim card update afta uve recived da sim update in form of a text message reset ur handset den waaalaaa da create option is avalible if dis info helpd you please let me kno Kelz

  • No Hannah I am sorry you can not, I would advise you to buy a new C series Alcatel phone which does have that option, and those phones are out and available too and for a good price.

  • but how do you set mp3's to ringtones or can't you do that?

  • Can i still put pictures on it of me and my freinds and if soo how do i do it ? :)

  • To get mp3's to work... simply connect with USB to your PC. If you have XP your PC will automatically instal the needed drivers (note that you have to have the SD card in the phone!!!) once the PC is ready the phone should show up as a "Mass storage device" or "external drive". There should be a folder called "MP3" just open that folder and paste your music files into that folder, that's it.

  • yes but how do you use mp3's on your sd card to use them as ringtones or can you only use them to listen too through music player?

  • also when i turn phone on it comes up with flight mode i dunno how to get rid of that

  • when you connect the usb 2 pc it should automatcally come up with a mp3 folder and then copy ur music into the mp3 folder n then remove the usb n go 2 music player on the phone they should all b der [email protected]

  • i bought OT-E805 2day and it wont let me send messeages ther eis no create or reply back i can store mp3 music on it

  • How do you set mp3 from sd card to ringtone does anybody know?

  • My messages doesn't have a create option!

  • How Do I Turn It On It Aint Working I Just Bought It And Its Not turning On I Tried To Put It On Charge But It Dont Work

  • okiee dokiee thanks for that is the number in the book !! thanks you helped me owt lotsss xxx

  • great phone..shame it cannot play music from loudspeaker

  • I had the same problem, I called the customer services and they send you a text to register your sim, you then turn off your phone for about 15 mins, then read the text and then turn off and on again and the option to create a text will be there.

  • this phone is very good but i cant send sms or a message because it hasnt got the ption does anyone know what to do

  • iyah dus ani 1 no ow 2 put songs on yah fne and ow 2 txt cz wen i go on to mi messages menu all it says is inbox archives delete and settings so as any body got a clue ow i do it ?? tanks amanda x

  • dus ani 1 no ow 2 send a sms bcoz it dusnt sey create on mi messages wot do i do???>x

  • Don't suppose anybody has been able to get mp3's on this phone with Linux have they? I just cannot seem to get them to work. They upload fine, I can play them with Amarok from the SD Card, but they just refuse to play on the phone. Any pointers would be very much appreciated.

  • just bought one of these cheap and cheerful, but a nice little combination of mobile phone and mp3 player, apparently according to another post on here, you can set mp3 as ringtone, anyone know how, put mp3's on mini sd card mp3 player sees them, but when you go into sounds theyr'e not there so that can't be set as ringtones!!!

  • Press the text button (button in the middle with the envelope)... there should be a menu where it says create message.

  • My OT-E805 has not the option "create a sms", so I cannot text. What can I do?

  • This being a cheap prepaid phone it has no infrared or bluetooth, it however does have a usb connection to that every computer recognises it as a flash drive, no extra software instalation required.

  • has the got bluetooth on it or infrared?

  • i am from malaysia. this cellphone just sell RM299. it is a cheapest phone with memory card slot and mp3 player.

  • Well according to review sites, there is a radio function but to use it you need to plug the headphones in.

  • Dear J, can you tell me how to use the radio function...if there is one? TQ

  • It is a simple, compact MP3 phone suitable for people who do not need too complicated features. I like it for my second phone to use it for my exercise. I can listen to music and making/receiving calls while jogging. It has reasonable price tag too. I would rate it 7 out of 10.

  • to manta freak,,well said ive got p990 n73 n80 and so on and fed up to the back teeth of lot,,going for s/e w610 but had k550 for while,,,its a refreshing chjange to get wat you want but basics covered..I am glad ive gone for non smartfone and have been scouting round the forum looking at all the other makes and its cheered me up seeing the choice on offer,,its good to see a different operating system and other fone manufacturers products instead of it just being the main contenders..Usually by now id have n95 but have left the symbian race to get a clear head

  • ofcourse it would look cheap... as it is cheap? The cheapest MP3 phone you can buy! Really good.

  • this phone looks cheap

  • No Bluetooth, No Infrared, Just a Mobile, Nothing new, But the problem I loved Alcatel

  • cool style i like it, i hope i could have one.

  • For a review on this phone go to:

  • Yes, the headphones connect to the USB just like the E801, but on the headphones, there is an 3.5mm adapter so that you can use your own headphones.

  • think it liiks good.... anyone know if it uses the same headphone socket on the phone as the 801??? cause if it does i may just get that.... sick of all that sophisticated crap... got a SE P990 that i'm getting rid of for one of these cause i'm sick of all the issues... want something that plays music and get a reliable pda for everything else...

  • Yes, this phone does have an FM radio, but you have to plug the headphones in to use it.

  • Can this phone play music through its loudspeaker? Or is it just like the E801 and unable to play music through its speaker?

  • E801*

  • The battery life for this phone should be better than 250hours seen as it is a music phone.... Same goes for the E805...

  • No it does not.

  • hay..! Plz Plz Plz tell me, does ot-e805 has FM..? Plz Plz Plz answer me...thanx

  • 3rd difference between earlier version and this one is battery.

  • There are hardly any differences between this model and the earlier model(E801). The only 2 differences are the design and the fact that on this model you can use your own headphones seen as it has a 3.5mm jack.

  • Customization:no. but you can set mp3 for ringtone!!!

  • Provided this phone sells at a very good price, it will sell well
