  • Have had my Sagem for over 5 years and love its design.Its perfect if you want an easy basic phone.

  • have tried taking into shop no good they cant unlock it i need a puk code argh!!!!!!!!!!!

  • can this phone be unlocked help !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i want mixt

  • My phone does not want to download any pics or vids all its says is " net work not responding"

  • i have been using this phone for about a year know,i just lost my screen.i want to know wether it is in town?

  • I was sent an empty text from an unknown source which has completely messed up the memory so now you can only save 10 texts at a time. This also happened to another phone and I've never been able to fix it. Does anyone know of a solution? Or maybe tell me how to reset the phone's memory?? Thanks!!! =D

  • i had this phone for 2 and a half years and it was really good but in the slot where you put the charger in there ar lots of metal wires and one of them is squished so i cant charge it and it has now run out of battery so i cant download any of my photos or anthing . please help

  • u r right about its greatness. the fone is cool for at least a week, then after that u will get sick of it just the same way i did. no bluetooth, no usb slot, no expandable memory. the only thing this fone is good for is to just text and call.

  • nononononono

  • how do i decode this phone

  • Hi Tara, I have got exactly the same issue. Could you solve this problem? I have been studying the manual over and over again, but I can not find anything...Actually the hands free sign shows up since the telephone shut itself off after being for too long in the cold. Maybe it was the same for you? Greetz

  • I can browse the net and Java is fine, when I download Mxit I can not register...it tells me "Security...Network connection not available : no profile defined". Any ideas how I can fix this?

  • Your phone is locked to the network you were using when you first bought it. What you've got to do is take it to a local phone shop, (but not a network shop, like O2, Vodafone etc.), and ask them to unlock your phone. They will normally do it for you for about �10 ($20), but if they refuse, or if they're charging you a high price, you can contact your network the phone is locked to and ask them. They usually charge you too. When you succeed, you can put your O2 chip in.

  • I have this phone it is amazing

  • hey i have the same problem as you too!! have u gotten rid of that problem yet?

  • This phone is a nugget!!

  • please can you help me got this phone love it ,but when i try to text it says i am on gprs and should be on gsm if you know what mean please try and help

  • This is a basic phone really, although it does have a camera and poly tones and a few nice features. I bought a pink one as a second phone for my wife, who's forever losing them, but at �20 brand new in the UK, who cares.

  • hey guyz i wanting to buy dis fone does it have mxit

  • I put my 02 chip in my sagem my c5 and it keeps showing me payt lock does anyone know what this is thanks C,L x

  • I thing this is the only phone that have no infrared or bluetooth connectivity, in the price range that it costs. I bought it from Malta 110euros

  • my friend gave me her 3 week old sagem myc5-3. i have put a SIM card in it , wen eva i try 2 call somesome it says u hav call-barring activated on this fone. so i went to settings, then to security i tried to de activate call abring but it wants a 4 digit password. i dont no the password and i was wondering if anyone knew if u could reset the phone or if i could take it 2 vodafone and they can reset it?

  • this looks remarkably like the nokia 6131, but stinker

  • I've had the c5-3 for about two months now and I love this phone. Though it does not have bluetooth or infra red it is still good quality. I bought this phone at $69 and it has all the features I need and if you buy this with Vodafone in Australia you can buy Games, Ringtones and more for a much cheaper price than having to go through a wap connection and do it all with a lock in contract that can cause you to lose a lot of money down the drain.

  • my phone keeps telling me that my msg memory is full when there is only about 5 msgs in my inbox and sent items? i am having to constantly delete my msgs

  • dose this mobile phone have a fm raido?

  • You cant transfer games!!!!

  • I got dis fone its nice black withs lots of features. you cant transfer games only music and pictures. if u want to get cable, order online sagem.com and go to sagem store. or u can buy of Ebay, they have a few there. The My C5-2 cable works for My C5-3 too.

  • The cheapest way is to upload the games from the PC and download them via wap: Via cable is not posible...

  • i got this fone 2 weeks ago and its so cool!its small pink light and it has a camera!! wat else do u want????? the only problm is, how do u download games, and how much does the internet cost? also how do u change the little screeen on the front to be a pic instead of the time? i luv this fone it rocks but can sum1 help me and answer mi questions!plese

  • PLEASE HELP i love my phone its great and i have the cable for it but i cant seem to transfer any of my games anybody got any ideas

  • To Sozzieyman, Go to www.mobilephonecrazy.com/modeldetail/myc5-3,Usb_­data_cable_only.thm. This cable will connect to your phone. Jaye

  • Can someone help me please?Does this phone have a reminder feature and does the alarm work when phone is switched off?

  • your answer is yes... its got pc synchronisation.

  • iam only asking a simple yes no question. does this phone come with a cable that makes you able to connect to the computer?

  • i got this mobile as a present i love it!!!!!!!

  • this phone is the best!!! im 12, and really, all us kids care about are the looks of it and the games. the pink one is hot, so i am definitely getting it. im not worried if it doesnt have bluetooth or some other unimportant thing, i just want to be able to txt my friends and make calls and play occasional games. the rest i dont give a fat rats about, so you should all stop your moaning and whingeing!!!!! if you dont like this phone, shut your traps and go buy a different one.

  • well i hvaen't really got the phone yet but from these pplz point of veiw i don't wanna get itttt it suxxxxx nd i want bluetooth omg can't pple make a good phone and then sell it for i cheap price god help!!!!!! dats it i am not gettin it

  • Just got this phone. The outside display is saying time of 23h45 instead of 23:45 i am finding it annoying does anyone know why its doing that and if I can set to am/pm 12 hour time? cheers.

  • i bought a sagem my c5-2 and it broke. it is very bad. dont buy any sagem mobiles they break and u get ripped off. the my c5-3 is very much the same to the c5-2. their cheap phones and they break. they have very very bad features. for only $169 you can get a LG U8360 (a 3 phone) they have a camera, video camera, internal memory, mp3, usb cable, internet, msn messanger plus blue tooth and much more. a very good phone

  • After 3 months use, my phone does not work. The battery is charged and when I try to switch on, there is no life at all. It's done it twice but just can't get it back to life. Does this mean the phone is beyond repair?

  • hello I bought a mobile Sagem C5-3, but unfortunately, I do not find any possibility to find a decoder of the Arab language. if you have an idea around this subject, thank you to announce it to me

  • I took a photo though only saved it to my contacts not on my photos. Is there any way I can send that photo to somebody. As when you add a contact you can edit contact and add photo, comment ringtone etc, I have a photo there and want to send the photo to someone or even save it to my photos and I am unable to do. Any ideas??

  • pretty good phone.. a little slow at some times.. can anyonne tell me where to get the data cable for my c5-3... thanks

  • A simple yes or no question: Is this phone suitable for a 12-year old child? I plan to purchase one for my child, and wanted to make sure if it was worth it.

  • pretty cool fone for 69$!

  • So far it's been great,shiny! blackness! lol. I'm connected to the vodafone LIVE network and the gprs and wep acess is very fast, sure its a basic phone, but its a GOOD basic phone, seeing as i'm upgradeing from a nokia 3210. my only problem is the lack of support avalible for this model, for example, its got PC sync but i have NO idea where i can get the damn cable. and with vodafone it only comes with trial version games and for some reason they don't have any downloads avalible for this model.

  • with only 3mb of memory how many vga pictures can it hold? id imagine id use the camera alot, so guys how many can it hold?...please :D

  • Well... I bought this phone for my girlfriend (second phone for use with another operator) and she enjoy it VERY much. Just for the record she has Nokia 6230i and she dislike this phone. In other words Sagem MYC5-3 have much more style than bricklike 6230i (it's her oppinion but i must agree). In fact 6230i have BT, 1.3Mpix camera, card slot e.t.c. but it just don't have "look". In my country MYC5-3 is 3-4 times cheeper than 6230i and real competitors on price basis are Motorola W220 and Samsung C300 (i mean for a cheap "girlphone":-). MYC5-3 beats them all with. They even do not have camera. And like someone already said: if you want phone with countless functions - go by smartphone.

  • Ring tones and wallpaper interesting????? What are you people on about???? Its a basic phone don't make it out for something it isn't. At the end of the day its a Sagem. BIG WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • it's great i love it the picture is great the ring tones and wallpapers are really interesting!

  • well ive got this fone n its crappy only got mii $2 and its already broken on mii... my camwra dont work... and i cannot ascess m friends n just 2 let u no ITS A CRABBY FONE...

Now 4 girls who want this fone, it just came out in pink! who cares bout bluetooth anyway its not like its hell important. this phone has video, photo and has mp3's!! how cools dat, ai? _______________________________ www.myspace.com/princessa_lee

  • this phone has great battery life and your mum would love this i have 1 and it rules stuff bluetooth

  • i am thinking about buying this phone for my mum. i am just wondering has it got a good battery life? I need a mobile with a good battery, also does it take videos ??

  • It stopped working on day 1, it now props up the coffee table in our canteen.

  • Its just a C5-2 with different front.

  • Why are you people moaning? Sagem make low end phones for low end users if you want a phone with loads of features then you pay big money for a nokia symbian phone or a sony ericsson. If you wanna talk and text buy a sagem, alcatel or other cheap make and they are fine

  • Romania does not have USB cables, you are lucky to have mobile phones we in bolgonovia do not have anything better than Alcatels yet. I long to have a sagem phone would be much better than alcatel

  • I am from Romania. In my country you do not find USB cable for this type of phone. Why? Please someone answer my question and tell me what do I have to do to buy one, because I am getting very upset !!!!!

  • i have the sane phone i am only 14 years but i cant download mxit becouse i have vodafon e phone but most of all its a great looking phne and ilove it cant wait to buy the next sagem

  • With this fone can u download videos or can u only record them. Can someone please tell me!!!

  • its a good phone and its easy enough to use so yea i dont care if it dosent have bluetoth or anything

  • i love this fone coz its cheap nd works efficiantly

  • It's a good, functional, basic machine, and it's all you could ask for in terms of general functions. A ridiculous number of functions doesn't make a phone "good". This is a decent phone, and serves its purpose.

  • Does this have infared

  • lack of any new features all I can say is this one better be very cheap, Q,DO sagem only make bottom end phone for kids now...??? A, YES YES YES.

  • lads, when will ye all realise that Sagem compared to most other manufacturers make very low quality phones, they're best aimed at teenagers who use phone for textn and playing annoying ringtones to accompany them down the street !!!

  • just so rocky4u and the uda guy know, it dus not hav 32 mb and micro sd. the specs r rite on the website

  • Rocky4u, you are a liar! get a life! this phone has dismal memory

  • are you shore this phone has a 32MB memory and a microSD cardslot i want to buy this phone but i need to make sure

  • just few corrections: the phone has 32MB memory and supports microSD memory card.

  • are we moving back in tech ... hope not .. welcome to suckville with this phone .... it s very baddd

  • Plain phone,nice disign.Good luck C5-3!

  • Nice design.Just a basic phone. Good luck!
