Ericsson GA 318 - User Reviews

  • it s my first mobile phone

  • Richard Partner's cell as seen in The Amazing Spider-Man 2

  • The battery is five AA elements connected sequentially. So it is possible to "rebuild" it with modern 2800mAh elements. Long live the king!

  • i have one but no charger and i dont know where should i find one icheck already ebay amazon nothing there

  • Ive figured it out, it was locked to a provider. Now comes the tricky part, how to unlock it.

  • I have this, and the battery is still fine, but it says put in sim, could it be it is locked? Any advise?

  • Probably older than me :D

  • i have it but i dont have a charger!!! :D

  • hi, Hope u doing well, I just need to know u still have Ericsson 318 with u. waiting for your prompt reply.

  • This was my first phone, way back in 1998. I still have it. I remember that the reception was good. Terrible for SMS, though.

  • this phone is forever, if anyone have this phone still, i will purchase it

  • I had this phone, and if I remember correctly it was my first!... I remember I could hurt anybody with it... big and heavy :))

  • The phone weigh nothing.. Once you took the battery off. I remember my brother owned this. Heavy, solid and thick.

  • My first cellphone back to 95, very simple and cheap....not bad at all

  • Ericsson Ga 318 is one of the best fone in age of 90 century,I bought it in 1998 and i love to use this ericsson ga318 in 2oth century also.

  • Hmmm, cool phone but the screen is way too small to see anything and is a little bit too big for me though.

  • I bought one two months ago [used],works good but i think the speaker is no loud enough... Is that normal ? I had the same experience with my GA 628 as well...

  • How can you reset the PIN-code of the phone? I got one but can't open it because nobody knows the PIN-code of the phone!

  • My first ever phone!!!! A Brick, but I was just glad to have one back then... did what it said made calls

  • Ok, Mr. Hindu, I see your point but.. what can you expect?! This here phone's been discontinued 9 yrs ago! It belongs in a museum, really. It's a wonder if it still works. They don't make mobile phones like they used to... But speaking of big heavy mobile phones, you ain't seen nothin' if you think this one's a champion! My first gsm phone ever was one that isn't listed here - shame on gsmarena ;) - the Ericsson GA 179, which is a previous model powered by a pack of 5 NiCd elements giving 6V and having a metal frame (not unlike the 688, but much bigger) and a flexible rubber antena which was as long as the phone and pivoted alongside when not in use! :))

  • My 1st Cell phone in my life.....!!!!!

  • ulay! this fone has a zib

  • this fone very bad and heavy.i only find one good reason for phone. i use it to hammer in nails

  • Great phone, it can take a lot of punishment, a real stong phone, soild as a rock, never ever gave a problem. It was a 2nd hand phone one thing sucks It can't send an SMS to another phone but it can receive form others.

  • Damn heavy!
