Samsung E1100 - User Reviews

  • how do i block a number on my samsung e1100

  • So how did this phone sell 150 million (according to Wikipedia and Telegraph)? Pretty sure that "150 million" includes other models, with similar specifications, such as the E1050, E1070, E1080, E1120, E1170 and E1200 to name a few.

  • SIM card?

  • Press and hold power button

  • Learn to spell, Joo. 'Throw', not 'through'

  • am using this phone for my office use. why because office use means, am a tele sales person.so per day i have to make minimum 80 calls. so its mobile is so useful for me .

  • Please Switch off d mobile and through it out

  • I bought 4 of these when they were a fiver in carphone warehouse. I use them abroad with local sims and also as a spare in the car and for competitions and registrations that ask for a mobile number. The phone has enormous battery life. Pop in a PTO sim with £10 free credit and enjoy!

  • pakka superb phone :) its like nokia 1100..... and its a samsung family... inheriting it... wow .... bt battery problem and its comon among others like 800mAh

  • Dont work ringtones

  • i cannot open my phone i forgot the password , what should i do

  • i bought it but i can not make any call. no outgoing call, no sms. please can anyone help me that how i can solve this problem. what would be the actual problem.

  • Predictive texting? I haven't found it yet!

  • very good phone. have been using for over 2 years. still no problem. clear sound. good for alarms

  • I also found it frustrating that the back wouldn't come off. To open the back, use a piece of rubber for extra grip- but the rubber on the back cover and push down and off the back cover. Just try hard and it will come off if you can grip it well enough

  • how to block fash sms on samsung guru dual sim mobile ..

  • Nice basic phone

  • how to creat outgoing calls lock password?

  • One can change the password by the following method: Menu->Settings->Security->Change password. I don remember the original password but i think it was 0000 or 00000000 (4 or 8 zeroes) (NOT SURE). It is written on the phone manual that comes along with the phone.

  • ma apna used 1105T samsungsell karna xhahta hun gud condition complete samaan k sath price 1200 p# 0344-2566806

  • Excellent phone. Using since 2 years without a problem. Voice quality is a bit loud compared to other phones, but other than that no other complain. Value for money.

  • how to add a new password to lock the phone?

  • I need to lock the phone wit a password from my own. What is the phones password that keeps on asking? Please provide me the code to change old password to new password

  • best basic phone is here i like this phone realy

  • best mobile to compare with NOKIA mobile

  • it doesnt have a compass

  • The phone battery is quite good. about 5 hours talk time and around 3 to 4 days of standby is what i get. but it gives network problem. If it looses range, it takes quite sometime to regain the network. also if u try calling immediately consecutively without much timespan between two calls, it looses network. Rest all is fantastic. Value for money phone!!!

  • .. what is the phone lock code of this unit?

  • The phone is a good buy and value for money. One technical fault that i came across was that sometimes it looses network and it doesn't catch is back for almost a minute in areas where there is no network problem.

  • there is no fm radio for this phone as given in the specifications but it is a very good phone with good battery life.i have been using it for an year

  • Yes. Phonebook, sms and call logs can be locked

  • It can store upto 300 sms

  • can the sms and call log in this phone can be locked

  • sir well i want to buy one sasing e 1100. reg rine tone volume does it loud too well to our reach on a call? 2. what are the names of the built in rinetones available in this cell. is there a ring tone name by morning raga? i especially want to confirm all these before buy. kindly take pains to reply

  • Simply super. Cheap and the best . 7 days battery back up I am getting . You will not get 500 contacts memory in any other cheaper phones.

  • araon my man, use your brain, combine it with your thumbs, and slide the thing off

  • Good phone. Simple but good. If you want any extras, don't buy it, this is a really basic model. very good battery life, bright screen, excellent wake up function.

  • God blessed you my friend.I already was prepared to crash the phone for ever.

  • What a piece of shit of phone.Not possible to remove battery cover.People who invented this phone should be sent to the prison.

  • RE:Anon No, the font size can not be changed.

  • This phone is cheap, sold for US$21 here

  • Does anyone know if the E1105T has large messaging fonts for a 70 year old?

  • Its a nice phone overall..

  • The display of the E1100 may be ok indoors, but is very weak outdoors. With b/w displays like on my old phone readability outdoors is normally not a problem, but with colour displays it is more a problem. If you need the phone outdoors be sure to test it outdoors before buying it. Can somebody please recommend low end phone with good colour display for outdoor use.

  • i have just bought the phone and it works great and i do not see what all the fuss is all about

  • i have just bought the phone and it works great and i do not see what all the fuss is all about

  • omg y do u post theses things if people try them to find out they are a load of bullshit and dont work cause i tryed it over and over again but still i dont work i almost snapped my phone trying it

  • plz tell me about btry timing with full day messaging???????????????

  • Wrong Info in the Specifications of Gsmarena.. GPRS Class 10 (4+1/3+2 slots), 32 - 48 kbps EDGE Class 10, 236.8 kbps As this phone doesn't have GPRS facility...

  • can i mute the incoming call ringtone....

  • Samsung copycat copied the name of Nokia's best seller 1100 which was even world best selling phone (200 Million phone sold world wide)

  • can i mute/silnce the incoming call ringtone....

  • Just bought this phone. Great for the price. But there doesn't seem to be any light, anywhere, that tells you if the phone is switched ON or switched OFF. Am I missing a setting?

  • I bought an E1100 in December and I regret it.To lock and unlock you just press one button instead of two and it unlocks too easily - it unlocked SEVEN times in my jeans pocket last Wednesday and I even dialed 999!!!

  • Very good phone i bought it today at the price on rs1300

  • I bought this as an emergency interim phone as my higher spec handset has finally given up the ghost. This one seems pretty good so far, it's like going back about 10 years in terms of fancy extra features, but if its a PHONE you want and nothing else, this seems great. I had trouble getting the back off too, but in the end I wrapped rubber bands around my thumbs and was able to do get enough grip the slide the back off.

  • my samsung mobile is do not sent sms message. ERROR -Screen

  • It's an excellent phone I bought it because I was having a problem with my rubbish nokia 6300 and I had to make a call so I chosed the cheapest phone in a mobile shop First I thought it would be a bad phone but I was really surprised it's a fast phone with a clear screen and a powerful vibrator and good sound I like it soo much It's really worth buying

  • Settings profiles choose my profile1 and select Edit (through Select button or by pressing 2) and change as you want.

  • From profiles choose user profile and change as you want.

  • wow a phone with no bluetooth but but has internet that is really amazing i might just get this phone so i can't send my data to anyone

  • i purchased the samsung e1105t and was told it has internet access and found out it can not. I would never have taken it if i was correctly informed. Hope something can be done. Battery life very good. Greg. south africa.

  • the instructions provided are minimal. Are full instructions available anywhere?

  • try using a piece of rubber to aid friction

  • It helps considerably if you use a thin rubber sheet eg what you use for unscrewing jar tops, to increase the friction.

  • u box breaker

  • Great Phone, cheap easy to use but can't get back cover off.

  • Nice little phone. Big keys, bright screen. Perfect for my Mum

  • this handset is now only �3.95 at the carphone warehouse. !! shame you can only by 2 at a time ~:P

  • fast menu, sturdy and reliable

  • To remove the back cover....with the cover facing up and the arrow pointing away from you, grasp the phone with both hands, thumbs on the cover and press down and away from you. Its realy stiff so persevere! But dont try prising it off with a blade, it will slip and ruin the cover or you!

  • I have had cell-phones since February 1986, still have the same number! I have just purchased a third Samsung e1100. My wife has one, as has my daughter. I have one now as a spare! For less than a fiver the phone is absolutely brilliant! Without a camera or mp3 player and such like the phone is able to be ridiculously cheap. Its dual band and has colour screen and a realy long life battery. From the Carphone Warehouse it comes network unlocked with a choice of sim! You could not ask for anything more of a cell-phone! It looks good and performs realy well, so I am recomending this phone unreservedly.

  • I had to take my Samsung E1100 to a Carphone Warehouse to get them to open it up. Very difficult indeed. Your spelling ain't great mate!!!

  • I just bough the E1100 today but just like manny of you Icant open it its very anoing going by the instructions the back slide off but I try &try and cant do it

  • is it a 2g h/s

  • this phone has no browser...no internet facility...information was wrong....nice set with cheap price...

  • how do change ringtone? and text tones? on this phone!!!!!

  • you may select the offline mode. select the Normal mode / silent mode.

  • How with the keypad, compare to nokia 1203? And torchlight, which more bright?

  • None has.

  • Can anyone tell me how to open the battery cover ? It is difficult to open.

  • e1100, e1080, e1110 which one have radio?

  • hello..can anyone help me regarding this phone. I have this phone for 4 months now,but it turns out to no signal.what should i do?

  • I too struggled to open the battery cover initially. I figured it out later on, it is very simple.

  • I do own E1110 (similar to this phone except it uses 1000mAh battery) which last for 13 days on very light use or more than a week on normal use. 800mAh of this phone should last for around a week. I bought this as a gift so haven't had chance to test its battery time. Btw, see this as an iPhone mini as battery cover is almost unopenable.

  • This only cost me �1.20!

  • Does it support unknown call block? What I mean that is it block a call when it comes form unknown number?

  • to Aiven.. Can u tell me, how many days r d battery life for normal using? tq

  • I m finding the phone ok but i can't open the battery cover of it

  • I went crazy trying to open the battery cover. Beside that, everything else is fine. There's no browser and no organiser btw.

  • I just bought this phone in Jakarta. It costs me only $24! The basic features of this phone are really complete for its price!

  • brilliant little phone, just right for the people "like me" who just want's to keep in touch,no frills "just a phone". it would be a real winner if the frills were replaced and blue tooth added, ive got a dab radio and a good camera, please just give me a phone.

  • very nice. worth the price!

  • Can anyone tell me, how many days are the battery life for normal use? thank you.

  • I Bought this phone before 2 months,All features are good except call quality,i can't hear clearly.Also the calls are not getting connected fastly.can any one help me how to increase the call clarity of my phone...

  • Hi Rose... Just go to menu...choose setting...then choose application... choose call... and go to "auto reject". then...you can choose the activation of "auto reject" feature. before do it, it's better for you to set up all of phone numbers you want to block. thanks DONZ

  • very easy 2 use.... battery stand by up 2 , 5 days while using in a moderate way...

  • Hi, Is there anyone who used this phone before can tell me if the function of how to prevent unwanted call (specified incoming phone numbers) from others on this phone reliable? I am thinking of buying one for myself since I have been harassed calling at night. Thank you for your prompt response.

  • Please anybody reply this; Is SMS Threaded View? This is confirm it doesn't have GPRS please correct GSMARENA..

  • Hi! i'm from PHILIPPINES It happen that my 7 year old daughter keeping my phone and accidentally put a phone password and she forgot the keywords.. Can anyone help me how to unlock..pls!! thnx in advance!

  • Thanks for your answer. That was very helpful

  • to activate speakerphone you'll only need to press center navigation button twice.. very easy

  • Hi, I am thinking of purchasing this phone. Can someone pls tell me if the speakerphone function is easy to access (ie how many steps to activate speakerphone when someone calls)? Obviously, the fewer steps the better, especially when one is driving...

  • nice phone for a basic phone...like it...

  • I forgot one more thing ... The voice quality is also good. Handsfree is wonderfull as the speakers are in the front, not at all cracking ....didnt get the earphones along with the box

  • Its a good phone, if your usage is limited to just speaking and sms. I was surprised with the features like mobile tracker, nice user interface( as first time i purchased a samsung ), phone lock, message lock, contact lock by password. Call timer limit is available for restricting long duration calls. Torch light has enough brightness for normal use. Battery also last for me for 2 -3 days with 2 hrs daily usage. Ringtones have high volume, again a big surprise as I didnt expect this. You can customise the duration for keypad lights to be kept on... (eg. keypad lights r usually required during night time, so give the option as from 18:00 to 7:00 am), for saving battery. Keypad is good, but I doubt about its life. Its a rubber pad. I'm not sure whether this has EDGE as specified in gsmarena. Overall a good phone for Rs.1440, very light in weight

  • Hello, i'm from Indonesian i bought this phone last night, first i didn't to open a rear cover.. to put into batteray inside. then i pressure to take open a rear cover, finally i can. then i'm sew on a ruim card. they no problem with the phone, this phone is a new looks with some a great function... i lke it. this phone is very cheap with a great function (like a large phonebook, sms inbox, torch, tones etc.)

  • I loved the phone. Bought it 2 days back talked a lot on it but still battery remaining 75-80 percent. Torch light is not that powerful,but keypad is a delight 2 use. Good menu layout, Good Prayers option, looks good and light and very very cheap bought for INR 1500. Calculater,convertor and scheduler are helpful. not that bad message memory compared to nokia phones,Good calling assistance, just type initial 3 digits of no. and it will show no.s starting from these digits from phonebook and recent calls. All and all value 4 money !~!

  • omg! flash light!?!?!?!

  • its just a cheap budget phone, who cares about the model name. i just wanna make/receive calls and text messages. thats it.

  • its got a flashlight! omg....................! pwns!

  • not even the product name is innovative... The so similar to the Nokia phones... Man have you be uncreative to copy even the product name.

  • looks like a bad, boring Nokia MeeTo; Samsung can do better, but rarely does on the low end... Why? Because they are always copying and never innovate by themselves it seems.
