Siemens A57 - User Reviews

  • When phone on display mode writtensubset code

  • I have the same feelings.My phone's name is Ingrid.

  • Everything you wrote is correct, the phone is strong and durable, working good after more than 5 years. But I started to suffer some symptomes, and I wonder now if this phone could do possible harm or head damage? Of course, companies try to hide such information, but everyone better be aware. I also don't know, which phones are safer - new or old? I'll find the answer anyway.

  • This phone is an antique by now, but I've been having it for more than 6 years and counting, battery's still going strong and I still use it. Reliable when the fancy ones failed sometimes. The ringing could have been louder though.

  • has anyone got the phone unlock code for this model ? please.

  • Lovely cheap phone, had it for almost 5 years now! Dropped it several times and it's still working, so it's strong and durable. It doesn't do much, but what it does it does well.

  • Never let go this phone, its your heart, never break it, god forbid you never get a heart attack, please take care both of you, you look great together, even though i have never seen you still i can imagine your face looking at this phone.. there are tears in my eyes.... i mean look at the sleek, smart bold orange and black and silver and white phone right there dear barbie.....

  • i love this phone! its my precious i sleep , eat, swim , shower and even go to the beach with it. its my little boy, ive called it ''Henk''' Henk has never let me down, he's always in my hands, holding tight. i wouldnt know what to do without my beloved Henk.

  • I have been using this phone for last 5 years. And it is searving me suparb..........

  • iv never used such a mug phone in my life

  • Well this was my very first cellular phone...it was pretty amazing for that time which was like 4 yrs ago but now it is time for major upgrade.

  • This was my very first phone in 2004, I still remember the first day when I touched it, and the polyphonic tones of this phone! The best thing I can say about this: it is easy to use and has only the basic functions: - voice - sms and - wap access. But try to find another phone, this one is old now, the last A57 produced has at least 2 years of usage...

  • it`s a good phone: you can use it in all kind of problems without any major defects.i didn`t had any problems with the baterry..probbably it`s a matter of how you recharge it on the first times:)..this phone is good 4childrens because it`s easy to use it..and in case of loosed it..you could afford another one;))

  • hey,I've used this phone.It's pretty god except the battery. But eventually I've overcame this problem.You'll have to charge the phone at least 12 hours. then it will work good.But I can't download any data with that phone. But i'm still using it.

  • Siemens phones are best for kids and low incomers if you know what i mean.

  • Good phone, easy to use, but I need the A57 manual. Can any person help me?

  • This phone is good but the battrey is hopeless.

  • it was my first fone way back in 2004. i found it cute n small. no coloured screen but it doesnt matter. very good body doesnt break. for rough use. orange light is v attractive. no features still its one of its kind i dont wanna part with it yet i ve x210 now

  • i use it as my business phone... and it does its purpose... do not expect much, but it is not bad either... only the battery could be better. On the other hand... for my personal needs... i have smtng waaay better... and not Siemens! :-)

  • I was given this phone last december for my birthday, at first it was great. Afer a couple of months, the battery would no lomger charge and as a result it stopped working all togther. Can any one help me by telling me how to get the phone charged? Thanks.

  • i use it as a spare and I find it ok

  • This phone is perfect for that "I am a cock and i like it" look. This phone is cutting edge technology and no time or expense has been wasted on trivial things such as a colour screen or a battery. Allegedly it accepts only power from a wall socket. Brilliant idea, shame about the bad points though.

  • I bought a new siemens A57 phone..but when i turn it on, it says, phone disabled SUBSET CODE. what do i do? Pls any person can help me via the add [email protected]

  • never buy this phone it's the worst phone in the world. you can't talk with anybody inside any place you can't hear the person e the person can't hear you.

  • Good Phone, simple to use however, battery is not as good as phone. I changed due to Battery mess up.... !!!!!!!

  • It is a good phone, but the baterry is a mess!

  • A57 is a nice phone but am trying to subsitute it to C45. My Q is, can one download data using A57?

  • thanks for all staff siemens thanks for this web welcome to visit my web site www.agwalibya.com good by mohamed

  • if you just want a phone to make and receive calls, the A57 is all you need. @ �14.97 for the Siemans A57 and pay as you go for 15p per minute 24/7 to any network or landline uk, what more do you need. check it out at Tesco stores.

  • i think that this phone is an awesome phone who cares if its not colored its the best phone i have ever had yet it has animated pictures and it was my very first one and it has pretty good sound and it was my very favorite one yet

  • Only bought the phone 2 days ago, and i think it is fantastic!! Easier than it looks ..... nice and compact little phone that does it all!!

  • This phone is beuty i bought it yesterday and its so fun i have also dun it up a bit got a new cover spent 5 pound on ringtones and stuff like that.

  • I think this phone is good easy and simple to use, im a teenager who is prone to losing my phone! im on my 10th mobile phone now and this siemens only cost me �19.99 with 5 pounds free credit! what a bargain! look in virgin for this offer.Overall a good mobile, it has all the necessities without all the silly xtras you get nowerdays.

  • the phone is pretty gud.... for middle class people not looking for a feature packed phone.. quite sturdy but poor battery backup...

  • I've got this phone for a few months since I broke my Siemens C55...I'm not a big fan of this phone, no xtra features whatsoever, quite boring, so is the design... Currently I'm looking for a new phone with camera, colours, etc, I want something extraordinary, something not many have...any ideas??? xoxox Dani

  • The A57 has identical hardware to the A55. I have no idea why they produced it. It is possible to reflash to C55, but it doesn't have the bootcore bug, so you will need to open the phone to replace the bootcore.

  • Does anyone know if it is possible to compose ringtones/recieve them? Please inform me if you do. Thanks.

  • sorry, but is very, very, very low regarding the battery! so, i guess it does't worth even for free!

  • it`a a telephone very nice and good!!!

  • A57 is a low price simple mobile phone. At buying time i thinked that i can connect it to PC and customize some of its features. But until now i couldn't find anything fot doing this. If anybody knows about it please inform me. Thanks

  • I love this phone very much cheap,good design and pretty elegant with no extra features, in fact i have two and i was gonna buy the third one but now i can't find it anymore.

  • I think it`s the best phone of rapot price/quality!! It`s verry cheap! I buy it just for a temporary phone, but is verry good, so i will keep this phone to! :))

  • Everybody can make Siemens c55 from a57, because these models are differnt only in software. You must just reflash your a57 using Freya or V-Klay and you will obtain c55/ Also you can patch it to get 1144 kb memory, etc, etc, etc. C55 allows you to make your own ringtones and pictures, and you'll get GPRS!

  • it s e very nice phone i have it and i like is shape and color.i will buy a same mobyle phone but with a camera

  • How can I transfer melodies from my PC to my Siemens A57? It works with data cable? I was serching "Software Support" and I didn`t find anything on their **** site. Should I buy another phone?

  • It is a nice phone but does not have a Organizer as said in specification. The batery don't less more than 2-3 days in standby.

  • Can U help me? How Can i download ringtones & logos from the computer? How can i find the data cable? What is the function of "Organiser"?

  • I bought a new siemens A57 phone..but when i turn it on, it says, phone disabled SUBSET CODE. what do i do?

  • I have a Siemens A57, and i verry verry disapointed whit this phone performances. In 2 months - 3 batery changes. Now in stand by function less 60 hour!

  • well i can�t really found a ringtone for my cell on the net, i�m really disapointment. if you have some info that will be great !!!

  • good phone for beginers

  • Is it possible to record a voice greeting message on A57? Thanks.

  • handy

  • The A57 is just a re hashed re cased A55 using up old supplies of the the A55 which is now discontinued out of the uk shops and with the same old out of date software, black and white display and old 16 chord polyphonic. The A55 is limited in storage of ringtones and so will this model. I thought we had seen the last of black and white out of fashion phones. Young people dont want phones like this and older people will want something more sturdy with better facilities. I give this phone nil points. Ditch the dimwhits. Siemens is trying to sell people doughnuts without the jam. This is the Weakest link. Goodbye.

  • Will this one has the same h/w built as a55? heard one can use C55 f/w to enable all C55 function on A55. red it in czech or russian site. Can someone give a light? I think this is very interesting. Considering that A55/A57 has a better keypad than C55. Best Regards.

  • A55 and C55 is enough you know....! why you make this phone?

  • its looking good phone
