  • I have this mobile I can't able to change simple it shows network lock. Pls tell me how to use open this please help me.......

  • Also known as Samsung GT-E1172 as Dual SIM variant and Samsung GT-E1175 with FM Radio support

  • I wish to change the voice message at the end of the ringtones. How do I do this. I cannot remember how I put a not available on the phone in the first place

  • Best phone in all respect including sound quslity, long battery life, torch light and many more. Thanks those who make the phone.

  • just got mine unlocked for £5 you may have to try a few places as many can not or dont have the software

  • I'm trying to use a new EE sim card but on power up it is asking for an unlock password or number which I don't have. Is there anyway around this?

  • s50 36c2

  • I just got the phone and all it is asking is for my puk and its speaking german

  • 1000mAh/Li-ion battery? Stock battery reported is 800mAh in *#0228# menu.

  • hello i was wondering as my friend samsung gt-e11 70t gsm dual band and now she cant txt b4 she could is there anything she can do so she can txt when she txt she gets a msg saying error

  • It´s too good for you !

  • I have had my phone for 20 months now, I have dropped it more than 100 times and it has never broken made over 5000 calls and have never had a clarity issue nor dropped a call. Battery life is amazing! I have typed over 8000 SMSs and all have delivered with absolutely no problems. I paid about $12 for it... All of these acheivements my previous phones over $200 each could not acheive. hmmm What more could i ask for :-)

  • No, you need the 1900 band for the USA. This one only has 900/1800

  • dooes it work in united states ?. i bought it india and its unlocked.. but its not getting any coverage when i put t-mobile sim.

  • This is the ducks guts...i had a nokia 96 which blew up on me in less than two years top of range...i buy this phone for peanutts...its loud..got a torch...fake call feature...battery lasts longer than any mobile..brilliant...basic stuff with surprises...im gonna buy two more...i love this phone!!

  • Its just GREAT.Its just a basic phone without any useless stuffs.i WAS a nokia fan before using using samsung.but this phone is just superb.great sound clarity and great battery life.just go 4 it without any hesitation.

  • how this phone compares to the new samsung e1070? which one is better?

  • this unit model is available in the Philippines as E1175T

  • yeah it takes as one message. that if you'll have a meessage contains 3x160 char, it register as 1. it has a phone memory for sms of 100(x160char). good battery backup, good sounds for tones. basic phone!

  • I want to know if the Samsung Guru E1170 supports long messages. What I mean by long messages is that if I receive a message that is more than 160 Characters long, does it get stored in the inbox as one whole message or does it get split into two separate messages of 160 Characters each?? Similarly, if I send a message that is longer than 160 Characters, is it sent as one message or split into two messages? Please, note, I am not asking about the messaging costs. I know that the cost charged for a long message will be equal to the number of messages it comprises of (each 160 chars long). This is the only query preventing me from getting my hands on the phone...

  • This is THE best phone EVER! I just got it like 3 weeks ago, and it has REALLY long battery life, and its just really AWESOME! if you want to buy it, don't hesitate; JUSTGO FOR IT!

  • is there any problem with the keypad light on this phone?I've this phone but send key,end key and scroll key light is not on but other keys light is on.what is the problem of this phone on navigation key?not in numeric key

  • That is en excellent basic phone. Good battery backup, good signal, loud and clear sound, modern look, fast operation system without bugs. Samsung with that cell phone confirmed its first position in mobile industry. Better basic cell phone on the market is impossible to find. BRAVO SAMSUNG!!!

  • It is a basic phone, it does not have a lot of fancy stuff on it but it is has a very good signal reception, a a very good battery.I charge it a week ago and still have half of battery. The basic idea is that the quality / price of this phone is great.

  • it is a exceptional phone the battery goes until 17 days or more the sound is good, loud ringing and i love the keyboard very nicely...Bravo Samsung for the phone very nice job!!!...

  • I own this phone, mine was 6 euros!!

  • I own this phone. I bought it around 18 Euros six months ago and I just want to say that its the best basic phone I ever had. Its so simple, fast, reliable and tough. Its battery lasts 1 week. Its truly amazing and its voice clarity is so pure. My opinion is buy this phone.

  • this is very good phone.batt back up is good

  • Hello guys..want to tell u something..this is my 8th mobile( i have used Nokia 3310,Nokia 6600,Motorola E6, Moto ming, Samsung X700, LG cookie, Nokia E71 ) but today im a proud owner of E1170.. true value for money. 1. Excellent voice clarity 2. Excellent battery backup 3. Excellent sleek design 4. Excellent signal reception 5. Light weight 6. LED torch Thumbs up Samsung !!

  • Great phone. My phone is already 1 year old. Still kicking ass.

  • no, one sim

  • Yyp.!!! its a dual sim phone but only one sim at a time remains active.

  • Please can you tell me whether this is a dual sim phone??? If so, are both sim active??? I saw in another website stating this as dual sim phone... Confused...

  • Great Essential Phone! a lot of "NO" in Specification page because it doesn't have useless features. i have a iPod Touch 4g so i don't need a fancy phone!

  • you all expect everything from such a cheap phone. if your wanting all the top specs then get your wallets out and actually spend money on a phone

  • I bought this phone to replace my HTC Legend on a long holiday. I love it! It does absolute nothing except phonecalls and SMS (which is all I need), but it has a long battery life and costs next to nothing. I have only one criticism: after locking the keyboard, you can still accidentally activate the light-mode by pressing a key. If you don't notice this in time it will still drain the battery in less than a day.

  • Hi, the picture shown on the all phone screen doesn't match the specification screen's. Please correct it.

  • I was thinking of buying this phone. Is anyone know about this phone?

  • belter :) phone was seven pound and made my day. taught me what a good phone should be. btw anyone else used the torch ? nailer

  • i just bought the phone from new way international uk the are really the best in service and the phone is brand new sim free

  • my phone is locked got it as a gift from an uncle in the UK and it cannot be used with my domestic network

  • Has anyone been able to use the mobile tracker? I couldn't create an account on their website as it would not accept passwords

  • Great mobile phone,good reception,good batery and the design is cool.

  • this must be the worse phone ever . the ringtones are dated the screen blurred and its just horrible to use even has a basic for call and texting the t9 wont keep words and it wont stay on . spend your money on something better .

  • i own one.its a great phone if you are just utiliesing the basics

  • Guys i got this phone for 1400 here.. i purchased an inears and fm play is rocking.. battery backup is excellent to believe. slim mobile with 1000 phone book memory and 500 msg memory.. design is fantastic.. go for it in this class of cellphones :-)

  • I like you, like this phone.

  • u all love bum....this phone sucks I only want it for the free xbox deal if u get a 15 pound a month contract, the phone will be making its new home in the skip, hope it gets comefy with all the used blobs

  • Good phone. i like the color.

  • A basic phone rings, get it? Not being able to play the Hallelujah Chorus is a bonus in my book!

  • At the end of the day a mobile phone's first and most important task is to be a MOBILE PHONE! This little gem fits the role at very good value.

  • Wonderful Battery Timing... 2rd day today, and one bar has dropped today only.....!!

  • Inuman na!

  • AM radio capable for this phone? Party party!

  • Our kids will love this phone, better than Nokia 3210 before.

  • I think I will get one E1175 this xmas.

  • I mean you gotta give it some credit, the phone is under 30 bucks so you cant expect iphone features....

  • How i will download any ring-tone or file In this phone in 16mb memory?????????

  • Amazingly BAD mobile, its only number keys glow not upper keys poor sound quality.................

  • Using it from last 5 days and still there are two bars on battery indicator!

  • Got an e1175t(as its in India) today as I required a simple phone only. Sorry, I was wrong! There is a flash light & FM in e1175t. FM is good but flash light is very weak(Compared to my n79 led flash). Look & feel of the phone is great.(Nokia, LG etc are nowhere near to the styling of this basic phone in their counterparts). Back cover is a dirt magnet though. Battery life's good. Nice usability. Good screen, keypad, voice quality etc All in all its a great basic phone. Probably the best available these days.

  • no fm and torch light in e1175t.

  • Thanks for the info, buddy. I like the attitude in this phone.

  • For £4.99+Top-up I have no complains... It looks pretty good and I liked the Keypad. Competition was with LG GS101 which was available for £3.99 with wireless FM while Alcatel OT-206 for £7.95 with FM and Camera, Nokia 1800 with torchlight+FM but I wanted a good backup phone apart from my Galaxy S and that's why I got it. Now it's my pocket phone and Galaxy S my bag phone! It has 1000 MAh battery, which is bigger than competitions and as there are no fancy apps to eat battery, it is the best phone for making calls!!!!

  • This is a very good phone : - medium sar radiation - good autonomi, long time in standby - a rezonable price for mobile performance features and design... In the end this mobile is better then most of similar mobiles. Good work samsung, we aspect future mobile tu be mutch better. It is in your interest to produce better products because you'll have more Customers and Generate Big Profits. Have a nice day!

  • Yeah! Jj's brand new phone!

  • this phone is great, better that smartphones

  • this phone is excellent, better than smartphones!

  • I have the E1175T. I just found out that the four buttons above do not give illumination. Is it normal for this type of phone?

  • Got this fone for my mom. Nice, cute, rich finish and easy to handle too.. Battery life is great. Speaker quality too, FM is nice. Torch is not as powerful. Not the best for messaging.. overall good at Rs.1300

  • We have this as E1175T in India. This phone has FM radio, Torch and has Good Battery Life. The call quality is better and with less distortion than many basic cell phones of Samsung, which are having high distortion.The SAR value is the same as E1170 and is pretty low. It can store 1000 contacts and 500 messages. Has good sound quality in speaker also. Sound quality is better than E1085, E1160, E2120 and E2130.

  • this samsung is poor on its screen it blurs and is rather basic compared to the cheaper nokia or lg rivals. the ringtones are rather old type only in midi format . this really aint worth the asking price . think twice before buying .

  • Some samsung phones have hearing problems.. whenever we make or receive calls, the caller will not be able to hear us clearly but we can hear. does this phone have hearing problem. E1170 Users - can you pls answer if posble. Thanks.

  • E1175 is the version in the Philippines with FM Radio and torch (flash light)... Even better than E1170... mas ok di ba...

  • For message storage and phonebook...

  • good battery back up the 16mb memory is for downloading the ployphonic, wav, mp3 ring tones one of the model which the company relased good mobile iam fully satisfied with this mobile iam getting continus 16hrs talkyime almost all iam gfetting 5 days battery back up

  • Exelent phone , good audio , very good batery , buit in quality .....kick as phone for the money ...

  • can anybody give an idea, what's the 16MB internal memory are for??? ain't for mp3 ringtones?

  • Actually launched in the Philippines as part of the shark series. Really cheap at SRP of P1,750 (37 USD).

  • As being a person who don't need any camera, who hates trying to surf over the internet via a small screen, who only uses the cell phone as a phone; this is just for my taste. My Nokia 1200 just broken down (test mode error) so I am looking forward to buy one of these. (I also have 2 Nokia 3100 and one other Samsung) If I can find this phone in the stores, I will let you to know about its features and performance.

  • In the Philippines. You can get this cheap & out of dated feature cellphone for free if you avail a citibank credit card on line. Worth 1,290-1500pesos

  • gingminge it doesnt have bluetooth at all!

  • For its price of Rs.1400/- it is sure a great deal. This phone also feature a new profile called Bike mode which alerts only pre-defined numbers. others get a caller busy tone.

  • what the heellll is this?? looks like a cheap version of shark2...

  • this phone is useless the bluetooth is blocked only for headset . battery life is only 1 day . the rigtones are vile .

  • thats a lot of "NO" on its specs sheet :)
