  • I couldn't find any ringtones at all on mine - can you give me any guidance please?

  • I have finally managed to open back by putting thumb of left hand at bottom and pushing up to open. However, it just tells me there is no sim card, and I am getting frustrated that I cannot even activate this phone. MANUAL is useless and I would love to know how to get it into operation mode! Hate this phone.

  • This is a ten pound pay as you go phone what do people expect personally I hate people walking down the road playing what they call music for the world to hear over a tinny speaker

  • yeah this phone is basic and you only charge it every 7 days but you have to carry laptop, camera, phone, mp3/4 player with you and keep them charged and by the way using the iphone as an example is not good my n900 is ten times better with music and movies than any stupid itunes bumming iphone. your better off having a phone that does everything i have to charge it everyday but so what.

  • did you ever find out why this happens?

  • My mother in law is some how blocking people from receiving texts. when she checks it out she finds the blocked number has appeared in the block list at number 6.She dont know how she is doing it! any help please.

  • Does anybody know if you can divide your contacts into groups and send group-text messages on this phone?

  • It's a great little basic phone, and it does what it should be doing: you can make and receive calls and you can send and receive text messages (SMS). You don't need anything else, because that is where other modern technologies comes into play -you've got a PC/laptop to surf the internet and e-mailing, so you don't need this feature in a phone, you can have a 10 megapixel digital camera for well under £100, which for example I've got, and you can have a much better state of the art MP-3 / MP-4 player then anything on a phone unless it's the iphone again for not much money. Now if one of this devices break, you don't need to send a phone with all this devices on it to get repaired, and you still have the rest of then. You are also not stick to a long term contract, because you get this phone (my one was £10 and if you can not stand a pay-as-you-go SIM card, then simple get a pay only monthly SIM, which is better then a contract one getting you a lots more minutes / texts then standard contract with the facility of canceling with only 1 month notice (not waiting 18-24 months of contract to expire). The battery is also great with a standby of over 500 hours. I only need to charge this phone once every 7 - 10 days, or just under a week if I use it more regularly. It is a very good basic budget phone from Samsung, which is a great quality brand.

  • slide the cover in the direction of the arrow on the black part of the back cover. It sort of slides then lifts up.. the instructions don't exactly tell you this! I found out by accident. Hope you get it sorted :o)

  • How do you open the rear compartment to insert the battery/ sim card. I have tried lifting, sliding, pressing and sliding, putting my nail between front and back panel to separate but no joy. I have looked at the seam of the casing and have no idea how to do it. The mannual shows an upward arrow - lifting ?

  • After one day new E1120 refuses to send texts. On pressing send it shows the sending icon then after about 10 secs it shows the blue "error" message. It still calls ok and previousdly sent texts. Have I inadvertently altered a setting ? or is this a fault? Any ideas? Thanks

  • what you expect for a tenner?

  • i dont think so

  • Press and hold star key untill it opens and if u want to lock it do the same untill it locks.

  • does anybody know how to unlock ( Contry code ) ?

  • hi people ang happy new year! I've read your reviews and overall I'm ok with it, but there's just one thing that is not very clear to me: the sound quality. This question is for the ones who already own this phone - what can u tell me about the sound? did anyone on the other end ever complain about the poor quality of the sound?? how whould you rate this out of 5? many thanks in advance!

  • Right under the #, hold it and done :D

  • does anybody know how to stop this going into sleep mode, all I want is for the display to be on at all times?

  • Bought a E1120 as a basic car emergency phone. Suits well, spec'd longer battery life for it sitting around. Bought a Samsung G600 car charger, plug fits phone but phone will not respond to charging. Could be charger is faulty. I notice Samsung list do not list any official accessories yet. What car charger phone model works with the E1120??? Thanks.

  • downloadable mp3's ????????????? how ?????????

  • I recently got a Vodafone 236 from my local hardware store together with a Vodafone CallYa card. Judging from the look and the specs, it seems to be a clone of the Samsung E1120, although it has the Vodafone logo on the front. Yes, it's a very basic, not to say primitive unit. But hey, I need a mobile phone, not a super-duper multifunction device with camera, radio, browser and coffee machine integrated. And I got it as a gift for a purchase of more than 100 Euros, so why would I decline?

  • Just bought this as an interim phone as my current phone keeps failing miserably and long awaited Nokia phone not on sale yet. The Samsung E1120 is extremely basic - if you want a phone for texts/phone calls then it's fine - if you want more, forget it! No camera, can't find any ringtones, plus instructions are rubbish, but on plus side it will be good to have as a standby phone.

  • I got this phone because i wanted to make phone calls on the move i.e I wanted a mobile phone. Its cheap its easy to use and when I break it or loose it I will not be too upset. It has no camera, it has no mp3 player and it doesnt go on the internet. I will use the proper tools for these purposes when i feel the need. Its just a phone and a good one at that.

  • LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR: THIS FONE IS RUBBISH. about the moust useless piece of kit i ever bought. i like the look though.

  • There is no MMS function in this phone.

  • we are buying one of these tomoro and will reveiw at post it on here

  • If you have a low budget then i would suggest you to go with Samsung E1120 Mobile Phone because the phone's appearance is fairly traditional and anonymous. Lids are plastic, which is not quite giving you the exclusive feel, the SMS-writing goes smoothly with the E1120. You can find easily in both spaces and punctuation menus. The phone also gives you great letter of sentences, which is far from it, has been a matter of course for Samsung's simpler models previously. Accordint to me this phone is for few that gives the phrase "You get what you pay for" positive tone. For more information

  • I bought this today for �10 to replace a 6 year old "backup phone", first impressins very good, it looks stylish it is very thin, the buttons light up with a very clear neon blue - perfect for night-time texts. My only 2 problems with it are that there's no pc connect-ability to change the awful default wallpapers, and there's no way to block/mute certain callers leaving others loud/unblocked, which is annoying for a work phone where the phone number is giving out publicly. Despite that, a great basic phone, considering getting another as a gift for someone that constantly has trouble with whatever modern phone they get.

  • Samsung E1120 has compact bar design with metallic accent. It has vibrant 1.52" 65k CSTN LCD. It features call manager, call time limit, mobile tracker, SOS messaging. It has easy and intuitive interface & short UI flow for controlling menu. For complete review visit

  • No web surfing? No camera? Just a very cheap and smart mobile device for calling or texting - perfect for most people then ...

  • This phone is very small and compact and is good for the price. Got it for �10.00, pretty good price for a samsung. It does all the basic everyday things like talk and text with an inbedded sudoku game included, very good price.

  • I bought this phone from orange. It definatly does not have have any browser/wap2/xhtml/gprs, does not have mms-sms, only came with 10 ringtones (not 40) and 3 wallpapers (which are rubbish and you must select one of them) plus has no way of updating either (no downloads or data cable/software available). It also does not have the call time limit as stated on the samsung website.

  • if ur dad's happy wi phone then good on him my daughter's got a LG Viewty and has nowt but trouble since she got it !! so good on ya dad....

  • My father has this phone he loves it to bits and says my LG Viewty is stupid. This phone is what you call stupid, it doesen't do anything and doesn't even have a 1.0 megapixel camera on it. Shame on my father for picking a �10.00 phone. Looser!
