  • I just bought it but I can't use whatsapp.The app is built in but i can't use it.After I enter my country code,and phone number and clicked OK it keeps saying network error.But i have a very good internet connection.Please help.Thanks

  • I am from Bangladesh. I want to buy this phone.but this phone is no available in Bangladesh.plz help any body to buy this phone

  • I dont find setting that u told about

  • Who cares where the sim card slot is. When you buy the phone, as you say, you will see where it is!

  • Where can you buy this in Europe?

  • Where can you locate the SIM card on this phone? I do not have enough knowledge when it comes to flip phones. I'm busy person and I have less time on the internet. Can anyone help me out. I'm planning to buy this phone.

  • The e2202 because it has bigger battery and camera while the e1272 don't have camera and the battery is quite small mah.

  • White light with black number illuminati confirmed!

  • Just go to contacts, and select favourite...you can assign up to 8 number..

  • It depends on what country you go. But before you travel please check your mobile network availability and the country's network. If they have GSM network, then its OK. But if you go to my country which is Japan, we don't have GSM network so you can't use this phone there.

  • Its about connection...if you live in a rural area where the connection is very low, it may be the reason why..but if you live in a big city, then there's a problem with your sim card. In my country (Japan) there's no GSM network and this phone is GSM only phone. So, if you go to Japan, you have to buy new phone or you can rent it.Many companies have kiosks at the airports, while other companies will mail a phone to your hotel or to your home. You can return the phones at the airport or through the mail depending on the company.

  • Broadcast message is a list of number or a group of contacts that you created (for example : family group)that you can send message to all people in that group in just one single send...for example, you type a message and you send it to several people in your broadcast list just for once and people in your broadcast list will receive the same message so you can save more time...

  • Just go to settings, profile, select any mode and select ring tone,

  • No, this phone won't work in Japan since this phone is GSM only phones and there's no GSM network in Japan .

  • Oh, first go to (contacts), search for (favorite) ,select which number you want to assign, and then select (contact list) and select the number then ok!

  • Oh, first go to (contacts), search for (favorite) ,select which number you want to assign, and then select (contact list) and select the number then ok!

  • for messaging, is unit capable of sending group text? thanks for your advice

  • The phone is good I mean great,awesome :). I like it coz' its small it fits in your jeans I just bought it last july 1, its cheap its great for call and texting, I love this phone.

  • ok, so, you get what you pay for. if you use it for call/text, then you shouldnt have any problem. i didnt experience with delayed messages either, worked well with dual sim. ultimately what i love is its classic look, style, and feel. i love flip phones and for the time, this one stood best against its predecessors from long ago. pros: - long battery life - can type while driving using 1 hand - fits on tight jeans - lightweight - cheap cons: - no micro sd card slot - until now, i cant figure out how to access its root to add music, ringtones, etc. - no threaded view on messages - calendar activities are limited to be as messages

  • i most like this phone i want this mobile in red colr

  • 2 sims standby.

  • hi you guys! im planning of buying this phone coz I like the style and its slick, but im starting to doubt, coz all your comments guys confusing me. the message delay problems really bothers me.

  • Great simple phone. Does anyone knows how to make the phone memory the default saving of messages? Currently mine is set on sim which can only hold 40 messages.

  • I buy these phone bcoz dual sim but infortunately when i put my globe sim nothing happen i did not recieved any msg in sending no problem but the problem recieving no msg arrived when i insirt to the other phone all msg arrived and i did not understand if its network why other phone recieved all msg but these unit i cannot recieved i delette all inbox msg maybe its full but still no msg for globe sim but in other unit i recieved the msg

  • I have a problem with the delayed messages. Brought it to samsung care and the tech doesn't know how to fix the issue.. insisting that maybe the inbox is full. Very stupid tech support. Anyway, I'm using the red one.

  • can I use only for 1 sim standby? I mean can it switch? in nokia dual sim it can switch for only 1 or both sim at once for standby.

  • you got 2 years warranty if buy the phone from new! Flip it as much as you want without worry. :)

  • Can i sync this phone to a pc? I really want to change/add some tones to this phone... Is it possible? anyone please....

  • I love this phone, I have this last sunday. The battery is great, good for texting and calling but I hope the flex will be last longer like the other guys said. If I am using my phone for texting for a long time, I chose not to close it just to take care of the flex :D

  • "GPRS: YES" ?????????????????

  • I'm having the same problem

  • I love the phone! But I have a problem. It usually takes too long to send the messages and sometimes it says UNABLE TO SEND. I thought it was network's problem. I tried to insert my simcard to my previous phone and I can send normally and fast. Should I bring the phone back to where I bought it?

  • Is this phone almost similar with E1270? Except that this can hold 2 sims simultaneuously? But, my question is can I use earphones with microphone while on call?

  • Yes, there is. You need to connect its headset in order for it to work.

  • is this phone have an FM Radio?if have, how is it?tanx

  • I am going abroad, particularly in US. I bought this phone just today so I have a spare phone when i get there but I will be using other countries sim card / network. Can this phone be able to recognize their network and be activateD?

  • Best phone ever!!!!!

  • how to use this phonein the philippines insert sun card from australia user

  • No, it is not a fault of your device. As a cost cutting measure for ultra-cheap phones like yours, Samsung isn't installing lights under the whole keypad. The Navigation buttons and power button shouldn't be illuminated. It is perfectly normal

  • may keypad is lit but my menu, navigation, ok, answer and power button is not. Is this normal? Or should I return it. Pls answer.

  • hi good eve

  • hi team

  • repy me

  • call customer service and ask for assistance

  • Ensure you have the SIM selected you want to use. Menus, settings, select SIM management, switch on to times you require. Also, when you want to text on a particular SIM, IN EDIT MODE, MENUE BUTTON, SELECT SIM. SIMPLES

  • How can you get this phone to take phone calls, I am able to make calls but cannot receive them

  • Hi! How can I activate the dual sim mode of thia phone? I inserted 1 sim and it cannot be recognized.

  • Does anyone knows how to fix delayed messages?

  • I have this phone and I love it. I made this as a primary phone and made my Note II a secondary one (for security reasons). I love the battery life and the design of the phone. My only concern is like the other guy is the flex. I wish Samsung provided a MicroSD card slot for MP3.

  • Everything is good. Good battery life. Good for call and text. Super slick and chick. My only concern is about its flex?? Will it last long?? I just hope the life span of its flex will be longer than the previous flip phones even if it is frequently used. :)

  • i just bought this phone. but did not support chinese language. i send back to samsung centre, they told me the phone can only support malay and english language. it this true? they selling and international market. aren't that they suppose to have support for all kind of language?

  • I bought at samsung store on 4.11.14 and after 1 week the screen not display anything (screen blank (white)). and i just claim warranty at Samsung Customer Service. I think if you want to buy this phone u MUST buy the original one. The staff said my case not occur b4 this. no one hve problem like me. may b only my phone. im unlucky. I love this phone because this phone's battery is long lasting.after 1 weeks still hve 1 bar.this phone so nice.

  • I don't think that it is the phone's fault, I think its the network provider.

  • I've had this phone since February 2014 and I'm quite happy with it. I use it as my primary phone for calls and texts and so far, it's been very handy and reliable. I've dropped it several times, and I'm happy to report that I haven't experienced it malfunctioning just yet.

  • Im torn between buying this cute flip phone and the Samsung e2202 that has camera, and has a microsd slot T.T what to buy?

  • settings > application > call > all calls > answering mode > any key

  • yes yes ..iphone also nt having

  • I don't get it, what's the point of having mp3 player if it only has 32 mb space and no card slot?

  • can you insert a microSD? if so, how much is the total capacity if its expandable?

  • for a basic phone, this is so great. battery life is superb, very handy, very easy to compose message even if ur hand is big, speaker is quite good enough for me and its very cheap. in the philippines 1450pesos for around 34 dollars only. best buy!

  • 1450 for white and 1490 for the red one =) this phone is so cute.

  • very nice aand super

  • Its really gorgeous as well as simple.but how much price.

  • Can it charge by micro USB ?

  • It's very light. It's good for extra phone. I'm only a little bit confuse if both sim are working at the same/ can receive messages and calls. However I'm using it's fm radio feature which is great because I connect it with a speaker and sounds great. The battery longetivity is the best.

  • Guys.. Can we transfer google/outlook contacts to this phone? Can't imagine if I have to add contact manually one by one from my Android phone

  • its a good phone but im experiencing delay in showing of messages. i have to constantly turn on and off my phone and delete messages so that messages will be viewed, messages are usually in between the list of read messages so i have to scan my inbox messages to look for the unopened message. other than that this phone is cool.

  • best phone i've had so far.. so simple and chic.. just the way i like it ^_^

  • Yes you cant see messages while receiving/ making a call

  • there is noarabic languach

  • how can i read the messages even there is an active call?

  • no

  • could have been better with a external display or a notification LED/light. just to know if you have a new text or missed call without flipping open the phone.

  • bought this today. can i put atleast 1 song on the phone to use as a ringtone? how?

  • From where I can get this phone

  • Bought 1 here in Philippines. It has an issue with sent messages. Everytime I restart the phone, it changes the date & time of sent messages to the date & time I restarted the phone. Annoying when I want to see when I sent certain messages. I have E1272DXML1/E1272OLAML1 software version

  • Yes. go to Settings>Applications>Call>All Calls>Answering Mode> Uncheck Active Flip

  • can you change the setting to not automatically answer the call when flipping it open? i want to see who's calling first before i answer a call.

  • Is this phone available in Kenya yet or will it be? Checked all samsung stores and phone xpress but no luck. please let me know, i want to score one

  • Hold # key to switch between the two SIM cards before calling or texting.

  • When making the call, I can not select the sim which the call should be. Does anyone know how to manage this?

  • yes

  • when someone is calling, will it automatically answer the call when you flip open the phone?

  • Great, I like to great professional phone.

  • This phone is obviously not geared towards you. Use your head.

  • No fuss. Just what I need for calls and SMS.

  • no wifi, no gps, no buy this!

  • does this phone support music player please tell i am going to buy

  • just bought this phone today. i'm wondering how to transfer a ringtone from my previous phone to this one...

  • it says here that there is an mp3 player but i bought this a month ago and until now i havent seen the mp3 player. is it really true that there is? if yes where can i see it

  • I mis the fliptop phones... I hope they do more

  • This phone it dedicated for who wants use only for work, thanks samsung

  • this is good for those who are living outside of their country, i like this perfect for me.

  • dear sir . do you know where to buy this phone . i live in beirut lebanon. thank you

  • - perfect for offices where any kind of phone with camera or info/data transfer technology is banned - dual sim is great in case the main signal provider has deadspot in certain areas, easy to switch to other providers

  • It has no display outside, if you want to see who is calling, you have to open the phone, only for that reason didn't buy.

  • in this phone it has a voice leakage?

  • will this work in canada?

  • looks gud... i hav been waiting fr flip cell... d finally here it s.. d duel sim.. so its goona rock in india... waiting fr it....

  • just bought this phone yesterday, this is a good phone. battery is good.my iPhone need to rest..

  • i am using a flip flop samsung since 8 years ago and still working fine...this new model will surpass the touch screen smartphone which is very complicated and not been in used. this kind of phones is nicer than any touch screen phones....we will go back to the old type of cellphone that is very cheap and very useful

  • Hi, Good to see you soon E1272 Slider phone. If any body knows when it should be launched in india & when will going to buy this ???

  • Finally someone has realised that working people need working phones.

  • AT LAST! FINALLY! i've always love this type of phone! flip top kind of phones! best phone type ever... no matter the ongoing craze of the touchscreen smart phones out there, we still go back to flip/ basic phones. Calling and texting is what we basically need after all =) FIVE STARS SAMSUNG!

  • woow!!! The Flip phone is back

  • This is a gem. Thank you Samsung!

  • The battery lasts three weeks, all of your notes that the phone is not worth is pointless and stupid. This is the low-end phone. Thanks to Samsung that still produced such phones.

  • most likely ,E1272 will be given as promotion of galaxy s5 due to its high price in market..

  • it is the best phone from the 17th century

  • You can't see any messages while receiving a call.

  • I bought the white version. It's a good basic phone just for texting and making calls.

  • I like flip phone. Hope this sells well so samsung will come out with a bigger screen like 2.4" or bigger plus external screen too!

  • I bought the phone today. Overall, it does the basic jobs well. It has no image viewer nor MP3 player.

  • very nize pone 3G getting speed high ....video callling good by ** Ashok ***

  • WHAT THE ****!! It's 2014 :o

  • it has a image viewer but doesnt have a camera, a mp3 player but doesnt have a memory slot? weird. lol

  • It is old....now is gold......hahaha......old version for old man......dr akash ,edinburgh,uk

  • 11 hour talk time really? We're in 2014 this phone looks like it should be 10 years old by now. Couldn't they put a 2000mhz battery on this guy and call it a day? Talk time would have been years. Even if you made a call on each of the carriers (sim cards) you could talk for days on end. I don't understand this world anymore, they need new battery technology already.

  • thanks samsung for launching such a nice dual-sim flip phone!ill own this soon!!
