  • To make calls with all the sims; go to the phonebook & set the nos storage location to handset. then you will be able to call any of ur nos with all d sims.

  • First of all is this Triple On or Trilple Standby or Triple Mode (only one sim on at a time). Secondly, the 3G is only dedicated to only 1 Simcard (you have to set which sim for it), and the data connection must be set to dedicated simcard. Check the setting

  • is the battery durable ?

  • i just got the phone but it appears i dont know how to use it. can i rceive 3 calls from on it, will they all ring? i dont seem to know how to switch to make calls and can not identify the individual sims. some one please help.

  • PUK is not from your phone, it's from sim card. When u press wrong SIM PIN for 3 times, your simcard will be locked. To Unlock it must use PUK code, from some sim card, the PUK code is writen in the sim card packaging, if not, you can call your sim card operator/carrier.

  • My kids just pressed and locked mine now and it's asking for PUK Code and i can't find it what do i do? somebody help me

  • Answer will not be free of charge

  • Please I have problem making calls with my LG-C333 (tripple sim). No matter which sim I switch it to, it kept on calling with one sim. Secondly, I still cannot see options of sending mails to more that one person at a time (imagine forwarding a text to 5 persons at a time how do u go about it. It may be that there is something I am not doing right. Apart from these, it is one of the best phones i have ever had

  • This phone meets my requirement as a second phone, I use it specifically for making calls and some times for browsing, it is not bad as it helps in not carrying more phones unless you are used to carrying load. Please manufacture more phones with more sim space and touch light. Thanks

  • Please i want to use this phone as my second phone so i can use all my other 3 SIM cards. Please tell me, Are all SIMs cards active in standby mode? I also want to know if the battery can last more than A day. Thanks

  • I bought the LG-C333 over the weekend. I have a chime sound every hour on the hour. It is keeping me awake. None of the tech guys can figure it out. Other than that, my SIMs for Nepal, Morocco and the UAE work nicely. A good value for the money. How do I turn off the chimes?

  • i lost my phone . can u people help me and block the phone or help me .am in need of the pnone

  • I have this phone I bought yesterday but the problem is when all 3 sims are activated, when making calls with the sims they rather buffer. Example when I am using Glo, Mtn and Airtel and I only have credits on my Glo which is my first sim, its difficult to make calls for when I try calling my second or third sim rather makes the call while set to the first. I think I need to reflash the phone

  • I'm very interested to buy this phone. Anyone, please confirm if this phone has a SPAM TEXT MESSAGES FOLDER where all spam texts are stored if you block the caller/spammer. Except for the lower range dual-sim Samsungs, all the mid-range and up-scale dual-sim Samsungs have this feature. It is very useful because I can still read the text messages sent to me by the spammer if I wish to read them. They are not stored in the normal INBOX folder. so nobody can have an easy access to them. Again, please confirm. Many thanks.

  • yeah sure it does has a provision for that and i really enjoy mine

  • its is very slow mobile dont buy

  • This phone came spot on at a time I had a problem with my dual sim phone. On a 1st thought I felt a 3 sim phone will be a waste of money but I decided to give it a try because it came cheap. Surprise surprise, its worth more than the price. The flexibility is 2nd to none. I can bet Samsung will be desperate to match this

  • Does it give an option for which sim to use when making a call?

  • Yes. Install any jar 320 x 240 java application.

  • Yes. Install any jar 320 x 240 java application.

  • Pls, does d lg c333 suport whatapp?
