Siemens A55 - User Reviews

  • Ask your phone provider.

  • Disabled. SP lock What to do?

  • Also does anyone know how to get e-mails on this phone> You are supposed to be able to do so.

  • I like this phone very much and when I lost mine after nine years I immediately got another one just the same. However it was not new and every time I try to send a text, there is a number that comes up automatically, that I don't want. The phone was supposed to be completely wiped before I bought it. I have tried deleting all call records but still this annoying number keeps coming up. It is not in the mobile's own directory but it must be somewhere in the chip. Any ideas how to get rid of it?

  • We have one in each car for emergencies. 250Hrs standby yes, but an eternity if not actually switched on. Bombproof, childproof, reliable old fashioned technology. Used to be our main phones but couldn't bear to part with them. (Husband and wife)

  • hp siemens A55 I was not able to do the internet, but I have pitur internet ... I hope you can petrify me to open internet on my hp siemens A55, thank you .....

  • hp siemens A55 I was not able to do the internet, but I have pitur internet ... I hope you can petrify me to open internet on my hp siemens A55, thank you .....

  • It was good, but I prefer the rabbit.

  • just put in a new O2 sim and getting message 'phone disabled ! network locked' what do i do ?

  • i really really really really like this phone....i jump like a giddy girl every time it rings eeek best phone ever...:) oooh the days of polyphonic ringtones:P

  • Best phone ever. Best sound ever!!!! I love it!!!

  • Had this phone since its release, nearly died once but came back to life. Did just switch itself off a second ago mid-text for no apparent reason for the first time ever but thats it, two problems since 2003?! Exceptional. Does everything a phone ever needed to do, battery is ridiculously good and its a pleasure to use. I will have nothing bad ever said about this phone and will never get rid of it!!!

  • my phone is not start...only show siemens n then please confirm switch on..no key work

  • I've had my phone for years and years and won't get rid of it until it dies. I still charge it only once every 3 or so days, it's small and light and does the things that a phone needs to do. :-D

  • how much is siemens a55 in philippine price please. i really want this phone and is this phone available in phillippines?

  • This is by far the best quality cell phone out there. I had it since 2005 and had not a single moment's grief with this wonderful gadget. No need for any other cell phone and I will never ever replace this phone for any other in the world. It's such a pity that its discontinued. I guess the best does not last for long.

  • Best phone ever. Have had it since 2003 and it has been through so much. Can barely see any of the letters anymore, but it is amazing. I still charge it once every 3 days. LOVE IT. Do not want to swap it for anything.

  • Bandel bgt.. HP paling keren.. Great Job!

  • I love my phone. I only use it when travelling or for emergencies (God forbid) I see no reason to change for a fancy phone.

  • Yeah, best phone ever made!

  • I am still useing this phone and i love it, great phone from siemens!

  • Hey guys! I Had this Siemens since 5 years ago, and it still works!!! My car passed over it, it was trowed to wall by one of my friends and it still shines, without problems!!! It is really a reliable phone... Oh! And my battery takes 4 days to go off, always using it... xD GREAT PHONE!!!

  • i can't unlock this phone, i have only one times to open the password of the phone, plese help me

  • hi A55 peepz I got this phone from my brother when i saw it i like it eventhough its not a new model this times...but i love it its cute very handy...i really love it...its cutey like me also....its from germany actually some old phone of my cousin he just bring here in the philippines.....ang gave it to my brother,.....

  • I have been used it science April 2004. It was specially designed to me because I drop It several times, including from the top of the three storied building. still working.

  • i like the antena on that phone i get network in locations where most people dont

  • Yeah that's one tough reliable animal. Very handy menu too, only the basics and all you might need is few clicks away. Mine's been through A LOT and it's still going. Think that it will last forever :)

  • My goodness this phone seems to be indestructable I've dropped it so many times and it still works and the battery seems to last ages. I've had it for since at least 2004.

  • I very love with siemens A55 because the language is completed

  • Some people are missed calling me but i cant get that there is a 1 missed call last... i should enter to the call records to see who called me...

  • I agree, and wouldn't swap my A55 for anything else. Have had it since '03 I have the Siemens A55 manual. it has nearly 90 pages, but still need it on occasions. If you have a specific instructional need I would be happy to send an email with a copy of the relevant page(s) as an attachment. John

  • I like this phone, i alredy use it at more than 4years..like the design cute like me..hehehee..

  • well, this phone im using it for 3 years now. (just a phone ive been using after loosing 4 phones) its cool. it never breaks even when i throw it around, kick it, drop it (accidentally). i just dont like the design its very cheap looking. but the quality of the phone is really good and it really works well and has a very long life battery. i dont charge it everyday. i like charge it after 5 days. this is good only has a design problem.

  • I've more 4 years using this phone and so far this phone working good. my phone many time fall or drop from my pocket,but still working.with so many models right now, i still using this phone, very simple to use.i recommended if you want phone with stronger and long life used, you can consider this phone. I love my A55!

  • i bought this today off my mate because my usual phone (nokia 6234) is broken. i bought it off him for 18p, yes 18p. and it seems fine at the moment, no problems. then again if it broke tomorrow it was still only 18p lol.

  • i was also 10 i am now 14 and this was my first phone loved it now i am a phone a holik

  • This was my first ever phone I used to take with me where ever I went I was only like 10! Gr8 phone

  • Well my comment is that my phone when i switch it on it just tells me Wrong Software and i dont know what to do please HELP! The numbers at the back are S30880-S5750-U622-1 S7 [CE0168] [352699 00 083155 5]

  • I'm still using this phone, it's great as a handy phone and it's reliable. Only thing bad is the battery, it's not the shelves in shops anymore.

  • aah i used to have this :D it was fabulous. IT JUST WORKED. unlike all the newer phones

  • Hi I too love my A55 but unfortunatly have lose the instruction manual while moving. Can any of you sweet generous people tell me where and how i can get a replacement. Thank you one and all Roy

  • this phone is phenomenal..still using it ...for 4 yrs...10x siemens. imagine a makeover 16mil screen 3mp camera mp3 radio on an a55...im just dreamin...

  • the best basic phone ever!!!**********

  • this one is very easy to use

  • i have been browsing for a mobile phone for my disabled mother and this one has come up a few times.iam looking for a phone that is permanently on loud speaker as she only has one hand plus a one button answer, would this phone do this if not could you advise me i am a novice with all these new gadgets and mother is 85 so it must b easy to use thank you

  • I love my A55. I bought it 2nd hand from e-bay about 18 months ago, and it's brilliant. I only paid about �15 (including postage) so I don't have to worry about it ever being lost or stolen. Who cares about all the whistles and bells on newer models, when all I want is a phone to keep in the car, in case of emergencies.

  • I used to have this phone and although I said I didn't like it, it was very simple and easy to use. I was watching my cousin surfing one day and it dropped from my pocket into the water, and it still worked. It fell out of my pocket (again)from a two story balcony and onto a concrete driveway and it still worked. I dropped it from my bag on tiles in a school change room and yet again it worked. If you often drop phones or like a sturdy phone this is the phone for you. I reccomend it for a first phone or if u dun mind black and white phones then its fantastic. I

  • This was my third phone and was kind of a sentimental attachment as it was a gift from mum however the "owners" (read thieves) came and repossesed it-)

  • Best phone on the planet. I dropped into a pond and then fell from a plane and it still worked!

  • I could drop this fone of a tall building and it wouldnt break.

  • good mobile.user friendly..my advice is to go for these type of mobiles compared to hi-end ones...

  • am using this phone since last 4years and continuing with the same,i had no problems with it,but i have to say one thing no other phone can give the life like it, i used it really very roughly ,it slipped from my hands many times but it remain in the same condition without any damage, i like it very much, the main thing is its very handy

  • this was my first fone!! it's really good quality!! really cute!! no bad experiences with it, if u want a simple fone, this is the 1 for you!!

  • amazing! ive been using these for about 3years more from now, and its really satisfying!

  • i have had this fone 4 about 2 yrs and im lukin 4 an upgrade now- its a gd first fone tho and ws gd wen i had it !

  • Mah fiintze!Je had such a phone and I still have it in the wardrobe...or behind the bed... daahhh don't remember where I put it but still,now I have a philips 855 that's a mess! Simens a55 it's such a strog phone ... it seldom gets crazy!If u want a good phone,get it BUT! This is the only one in the series (a55,a51,a57,...) that doesn't have the posibility of download thing from the internet.Trust me,u can't.In rest,it deffinatly is a respectable phone (damn where did I put it...?)

  • i love it. i recommend. it is simple, nice, and very strong. unbreakable!

  • greatest phone ever i have 2 one for 3 years and the second 2.5 years both stil work perfectly its a reliable phone and very smart for his time it was the best phone of his day

  • I have had this phone for 2 years now, and it was working fine. However, this year it has started to turn off by itself when I'm texting, or if I leave it on too long. This was a good phone as a first phone, but as it does not have other extra functions such as a camera and multimedia messaging, I am going to have to get a new phone. An annoying thing about this phone is that it has very loud clicky buttons, and you can't text very fast without making a lot of noise.I am looking forward to getting a colour screen phone after looking at an orange screen for 2 years. It is compact size, and has enjoyable games that have produced hours of amusement. A very good phone.

  • this phone is pretty good...just don't buy it from the UK (they get all the crappy ones)...yeh, otherwise it works pretty well but gets boring after a while...

  • I have an A55 'phone which works in the UK. Will it work in Canada? In other words is it a triband? Could someone who knows please reply to my address which is [email protected] Thank you in anticipation Graham Mole

  • this is my first phone, had it over 2 years now. i've been looking for something more up to date, but to be honest i haven't seen anything better! if all you want are the important things like a phone that works,is tough and fits easily into your pocket, then this phone is fine. the batterry lasts ages too. after looking at many other phones and reading poor reviews for most of them, i'm gonna stick with my a55 a while longer.

  • my c60 said card error after i sent it away to get serviced, i licked the card and wiped it on my shirt . now it works like a dream.

  • grrrrrrrrrrrr!! i haaaate this fone!! all siemens fones are rubissh!�! this one died on me and was really cheeky enough to not allow me 2 send messages and screwed up my pin code so that i had 2 get a new sim card- 6 times!!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS FONE

  • I have a phone like this.It's not so horrible,I mean it does the job,and it usually works,even if mine is crazy,it says ''card error'' and it stops so I must get the card out and so on.But you're gonna soon be dissapionted sooo...men (and women and children) better find another phone!

  • hi i have a siemens a55 and i liket very much! aa and plase visit my web site www.automotorclub.com and click down banner!

  • Good phone at a fair price. Excelent for those who want a basic phone and don't want to pay any extra for additional features. Pretty solid built, good signal (even in the forest/mountains), and decent stand-by time (mine last about a week with few calls/sms per day, but no games). Polyphonic sounds are nice; Vibrations could be a bit stronger.

  • I use this phone, its great phone but can you tell me how to use internet facility in this phone? i try but no connection

  • Battery in not very good.

  • Access www.my-siemens.com to get ringtones and images. It's a great phone!

  • hi!there is somebody to help me with a problem?? i dont know how to get a free ringtone&logo from internet wold u help me?pls e-mail me

  • hi! pretty good phone, lots of features. i like especially the polyphonic ringtones, but, allas, they are so few... :-( also, what pisses me off is that there is no organizer. i save contacts as sms. it should be easy to put one, as the phone knows what day it is today and tomorrow, because of the alarm clock. but, overall, a good phone.

  • i want the ringtones for Siemens A55

  • I want details about Siemens A55

  • The best phone eva! Siemens apeal to me more than Nokias now. I had an A55 then my Aunty and me upgraded our phones to the M55. Siemens, all you need to do is add an fm radio or bring out a conectable fm radio so that those who dont hav Nokias can also listen to music. WELL DONE,

  • Yes it has profiles

  • Does it have profiles?

  • I think that this is the best phone for this money what you give for this gsm - battery is good and this phone have more options then some phons for much much more money! bye!

  • My parents just bought one. A very nice little phone. Offers the features most people expect from a phone. My parents don't need bluetooth, MMS and all that stuff.... They want a good, easy to use, reliable phone and this Siemens succeeds very well... recommended

  • can u tell me which is better siemens A55 or SE t105. also is there any wear and tear of the A55 keypad as mentioned in some review? How is the reception of A55?

  • I tkink that the siemens a55 is a very good phone easy to use compact and small but the phone is not very well known therefore ringtones and fascias are very rare more people need to know about it

  • Man, I'd like to say that this phone really rules! I bought it in Romania with only 39,95$ on Orange and i thingk it's the best you can get with such low price! Polyphonic ringtones, EMS, screensavers...what more would you want?

  • A55 is better than Alcatel 512, Alcatel phones are the worst phones on the market.

  • I would like to know which phone is better: Siemens A55 or Alcatel 512? please help me decide .

  • It you are looking for a budget phone.. this is it! I'm happy with the price and very satisfied with it's features!

  • I think its a great phone but it would be even better if it was in colour,also when you look for websites about downloadable ringtones the handset isnt usually in the comatability list!

  • i'm sbik arabic wat name to program poly phonic to siemens a55 & c55

  • Hello Pls do me a favour when i on my phone the message displayed is "PHONE DISABLE SP LOCK" what's wrong can you pls send me information about this message .

  • I think the siemens a55 is a good phone because it had polyphonic ringtones and animated screen savers

  • Nice looking! A tiny cell that offers miscellaneous funky features. Polyphonic, EMS, animation, screensavers. Also an excellent in CLipit cover design. Bravo A55. Bravo My Siemens

  • i have it,its a good phone but lacks a basic organiser,i save reminders in the sms outbox.

  • The Siemens A55 is not the best phone, But it still is pretty good, Much better than the Motorola T191. Thats for sure. Wap 1.2.1 is OK but it would be better if it was a little higher.

  • I bought the A55 and tried out on Siemens as were told that quite good nowadays. This is a budget phone but surprising when I bought it and found out that the features are not bad. It offers polyphonic tones, EMS (enhanced messaging services), Nice games, wap access, can write and receive chinese sms, etc...the best of all the handsfree speakerphone (quite loud and clear)and its small built that quite nice design. Ipaid only a small price for the phone but was satisfied of what I get from this phone. Good Buy if you don't want to pay so much and yet want to get all the useful functions-GO FOR IT.(The Siemens A55)

  • i still think its great

  • i wouldn,t use to wank off my nan

  • how i cant get my polyphonic have a siemens a cd with a lot of ringtones include?

  • I've had my a55 for nearly a month and i think its great. Its small light and very easy to use without a load of useless extras.

  • good

  • What's the improvement in this model. I notice only it is smaller and lighter... Has anybody bought this phone and can tell what's new in this phone. I personally assume that there is organiser (In the A50 the function organiser was not found except in the specifications set by Siemens).

  • nice improvment from the previous A50! excelent phone!
