  • before you send a sms/mms you can read down below if you want to save the outgoing sms/mms or not.

  • a bad phone that you�ll regret that you bought cause i bougth two of them at the same time and they don�t work as they should, for example when you download tunes and want to use them in a mms you can only pick the first tune on the list, there must be a big productionfault in this product.

  • plz anybody tells me how to lock the phone , i have already enbeled this feature , but i don no make it lock ,,, plz answer me urgently on this mail ([email protected]), waiting..... thanks alot..

  • Go to "phone setting," then " go to "extra setting." UNMARK "active folder" Your call will remain "unanswered" when flip open the phone.

  • To anyone who wants to deactivate the function that makes the phone automatically pick up a call when you open it: Just untick "active folder" in the "extra settings" menu and you're done! Hope that helped :) ~Jessy from Germany

  • I guess - you can deactivate pick up at flip-open or change to "any key". Usually there is such an option. - just a guess, good luck! Nice basic phone! A. Nonymous (hey, a relative? ;)

  • Hello, have you got a helpfull hint to solve your password problem?

  • Hi all .. after using this mobile: advantages : 1- the weight,the price and the style are what this phone is about. 2- u may buy it as a backup phone or to your children as a first phone or if u just want to make calls so this is perfect. 3- the battary is charged so fast and lasts so long i charge my phone every 4 - 5 days and i make nearly 20 - 40 minutes of calls daily. 4- it's got the basic options memo,calender,calculator,etc. disdvantages: 1- you don choose to turn on the vibration and the melody to start together on call alert, the vibrations starts and then the melody. 2- ringtones suck 3- adding anything to the mobile is quite tricky cause there's no USB connection .. but if you want one check the C520 which adds to this model the FM radio,the VGA camera and the USB connection. 4- no copying to all the contacts at once, you have to add them one by one. its great as a backup phone and has a wonderful style you will love having one. thanks all .. tito

  • As far as I know this copy operation (except one by one) does not exist on the C260. I used my old cell phone, which does have this copy function, to copy the phone numbers to the new SIM card.

  • Hi I just got a new phone. But I have 185 entries in my Samsung C260 phone.. Does anyone know how I can transfer these easily to my new phone or even SIM card? There doesn't seem to be that option available on the phone..

  • i bought it 5 dayes ago& it is v eesy 2 use

  • Hi, does anyone know whether it's possible to set the calendar on the C260 that the week starts on a Monday? By default it starts on a Sunday, but my workweek begins on a Monday, and I also use this calendar as the wallpaper. Thanks in advance for a reply.

  • I just bought this phone and i just love it, i just have one question, is there anyway where i can upload ringtones on it because its default tones are horrible?

  • No it does have a handsfree

  • I have a problem when i open web site like pownce.com the phone restart :S and when i open live.com the phone load the page but in the middle it restart why that happen ? and i have a question about battery is it recharge very fast ? because i recharge it from zero to full in less than 2 hours and did the GPRS use alot of power ? that is all and thanks alot

  • hi dear,use this code:00000000

  • i love this phone batarey is great shape and desien is soooo good if you want only phone you must take it i love this phone more than my w850 ;)

  • is this fone dual band or tri band? Pls let me know soon very very urgent!!!!!

  • yes, it has an anwering machine. You can set it in your voice + it has a default. You can record the voice for 30sec. Overall, its a great flip fone. Small, self buit a.m., good speaker & good network strenth. But i don't understand one thing, why it doesn't have games & radio?

  • its very easy 2 use .. love it

  • answering machines are on provider servers, never on cellphone itselve!

  • I've useing this phone for 5 monthes, it's very good one, small, light, cheap, beautiful, good battery life, good network and good speaker the best thing in this phone is that it's water resistance :D:D:D I droped it in the water twice !!! one of them was in my pool and i picked it up after 15 minutes !!! in the two times the phone was DEAD !! but It was soooo easy to repaire, I just put it in the roof under the SUN rays :D just one day and it's fully working :D:D

  • 1-i want to know if this phone has an answering machine or not? if yes,can i change the voice of answerin machine and use my own voice? 2-it has a very low memory,how many minutes can it save?

  • The original Pin (and the PUK)should be on the carrier for your SIM card. It is a feature of the SIM card rather than the phone itself. I am very happy with the C260 as it is a simple phone, small and compact, with all the BASIC functions.

  • I bought this little phone because it is so extremely small and light. You don't even notice you got it with you. It's just a phone and nothing else. Therefor the battery last longer as well. Nice little phone for a small price (�30,-) So if you use a phone to make phonecalls and ones in while use SMS, then it is perfect for you.

  • HELP Pls.. I gonna use the phone lock of this newly bought C260, but i do not know how to put my lock code since it is requiring old password. I don't what's the standard password. i tried to enter 1234 but it does not work. why this has no guide book on how to use this feature. HELP me pls. i will wait for the answer on my e-mail: [email protected] Thanks

  • Bha... no MMS ?... aff

  • No

  • ok

  • hello everyone....can anyone pls tell me whether i can use this phn as a gprs modem for pc ...?????

  • I bought this mobile for my mom. It's perfect for her. It has big numbers that can be seen perfectly, the numbers on the screen are coloured from cold colors to hot so she can easily check if she misstyped something. The main screen includes a calendar which is great for her, almost all mobiles have calendars but having it on the main screen makes things easier for old people. It also has a mute and unmute key (#) on the keypad. It is loud, it has vibration, calendar... all the stuff you see in the specifications. TLDR: perfect for old people. Simple, stylish.

  • If you have a featured phone, and need a second simple phone, this phone is so nice, lightest phone i've ever seen, loud speaker works fine, its vibration rocks, nice to send sms, and good and sufficient battery life

  • is the ringing volume loud? i want a simple but loud enough phone

  • what about the bettry ,, ? and how can i download on it any thing i want .. ? at all its very good i love c260

  • How can I turn off the voice male of my C 260

  • dude...check the car settings. maybe he has the autoanswer on. if u can't find it the reset all settings.

  • i just like this fon. is handy and very easy to use. there should have been a game on the fon. kwadei. ghana

  • Has this mobile tracker function inside ?

  • HELP !! my c260 answere the calls automaticly what should i do?

  • with the wap go to Funbox, wap browser, settings,select profile and edit accordingly to your service provider settings. good luck

  • There's no other phone with a shittier keyboard than that of the C260. Don't buy it if you intend to text a lot. Also, there's no volume control that I'm aware of so by default it's pretty loud and even hurtful in certain conditions. The form-factor works in its favor though and i quite like the clam shell casing. Otherwise it is a cheap-o phone.

  • hello wanted to know if this mobile phone can send photos through

  • I can't find menu : sound settings - message tone - repetition. So, how if I want to repeat the alert when message is incoming ? Anybody knows ?

  • Well, this is really a budget phone and get what you pay for. Pro: * The screen is tiny, but ok for a budget phone * It can do everything: calls, sms and WAP * battery life is also ok Cons: * What bugged me is that for receiving an sms it can only either ring or vibrate but it can't do a combination of both. On the other side, if you receive a call you can choose to either ring and vibrate at the same time! * The other thing is that it can't copy your entire phonebook automaticly, you'll have to do this manually for each entry. So if those two things don't bother you, this will be an excellent budget phone for you.

  • can support chinese?

  • Not handsfree avaible in this model!

  • how can i use the net from yhis mobile but really fine mobile

  • *F1* It is an-officially Liscenced Product from "FERRARI". For all the Ferrari lovers it is a must Have fone! Buy it & fell like You are the F1 driver....Think Schumacher! Red is for Ferrari!

  • I got mine yesterday. it is a very light & slim mobile and very user frandly.

  • plz answer this question: how do i enable the web browser in this mobile and how much is it going to cost me in pakistani rupees...

  • Hi this phone is absolutely perfect. Just got mine yesterday... So far so good. Really good design, good functions but is a bit slow.... Still i really like the phone.... I hope u people buy this phone..... Take Care

  • It's a great cell phone. I've it and seams good.For his price is better then nokia,sonyericcson's cells. Have a good menu.and good sounds! Buy it quickly!!! By

  • i have this phone...it is not very hi-tech but it does solve our basic necesities...i hope someone would tell me how to use its wap browser...pls...

  • cheap & easy

  • this is not bad at all ,It's not supposed to be a full featured smart phone or something,It's a low price phone that only Covers basic needs. the greate thing I found, It even has an answering machine!

  • after a month of using this phone disadvantages: * no ring tones just some simple tones like alarm. * bad display with low resolution * so fragile sometimes i feel its like a chinese toy ! * dosn't have any cable to download ringtones * bad software with so little options like models of 10 yrs ago. advantage *good reciption quality

  • i didn't get it yet.is there games or a camera.does it even have bluetooth?

  • I bought this phone lase week but every thing is bad poor display bad keyboard no ringtones no games

  • i really love it you will 2 if u touch it ..i'm selling my n73 and get 1 of these

  • For the price and quality it's a very good phone. The voting results don't mean anything, because someone who wanted a camera and other useless items in their phone could give a bad vote after using this phone. But then he/she should have baught another one. If you want a good camera, buy a digital camera, not a cell phone.

  • I think voting results table explains all. But still this phone has a charm like all other Sumsung phones...

  • it's a good phone...with almost everything you need (java is missing or i don't know how to use it).

  • I hearede two things: - there is no enviromental profiles - there is not external LED for missed calls and SMS.. Is it true?

  • the good: small and simple with nice colors, good menu with calendar on desktop, ok price for this category the bad: navigation buttons not ergonomic, somewhat low sound quality, no java, games, chrono the best: multiple alarm settings, low battery level warning 1 hour before depleting in standby, anti-theft notification final words: nice phone for everyday use with the most important features and some extras ;)

  • hi wow samsung c 260 very nice set have great tones n internet browsing also good price is 2 good hmmmmmmmm my chootooooooooo set :)

  • Hi, can i download pictures and music on it?

  • Great little phone for the price. Here is Italy it is only 39 Euros with a SIM card that already has 5 Euro on it! What more do you need? And it has a nice little tune for starting up and closing.

  • yes u can go to internet with c260 and u can make passwords for a lot of folders

  • this phone is super.here in bulgaria it is sold for 50 euros.cheap and great:)))buy it!!!

  • Piece of crap. Unable to specify which directory to use. Takes forever to upload numbers from sim card and can only copy numbers from sim card to phonebook one at a time. This is useless.

  • very nice design,simple strong battery up to seven hours talk time!!! very light.i have it in blue color! the sound of the speaker is great and the mic its ok! The signal of this cell is also great. A cheap phone with good quality... And it has also one great feature,the mobile tracker,you can find your phone if somebody stole it from you! thats amazing!

  • Using some time this item, but still haven't founf way to use the built-in hans-free. (I'm lazy, no will to read manual)

  • AUTOPOWER mean if u enable this item, when the alarm has been set up for certain times, the phone will be power ON when the time comes and when you notice and stop the alarm, it will shutting OFF automatically.

  • This is my first time using Samsung model.To be truth, the "style and simple" theme just suit my shoes.since im new with samsung,Where can i get those pins for items in 'security' folder? Can this handphone uploaded songs and games?

  • Hi! I bought this beuty. in my opinion, it's one of the best designs what I've seen. Menus are okay. But two annoing things are that, no profiles as NOKIA phones have and default ringtones are so horrible.

  • Really Its good Cell... simple and stylish...sufficient for student... i am also student.... and i like this mobile.... thanks...

  • Not as good looking as C520 and lacks features

  • I think it is a real cell phone. İt has alarm and it is enough for me.

  • autopower means that if your cell is turn off, the cell would automatically turn on then sound the alarm.

  • It has the same features with Samsung X160. I'm thinking to buy samsung x160 but last time when I was at the store it wasn't there anymore so I'm thinking to buy this phone instead. But this one has CSTN display and only 600kb internal memory.So what do you say? Sorry my bad language I'm not a native speaker.

  • this model is very sample and a work in sosiete medcom in tunisia represantant of samsung in my country.i am technicien
