  • My 1st mobile :-D Love it..........

  • nice phone with a bright orange light and good ringtones, the only bad thing about it is the battery, mine started to die in less than one year, perhaps it was a chip inside the cellphone or the itself, whatever to bad that siemens doesnt make cellphones anymore

  • good

  • I bought this phone in 2005 when it was first launched. Shape is good but performance is not exact. Mostly ring tones do not work and you cannot take calls. Battery life is very short. Also other features are unreliable. Now battery is exhausted and I cannot get good original battery. I bought a battery but it soon became dead and cannot be recharged. I am looking for a new battery. But now Siemens mobiles are no more available here. Siemens earlier model A-51 was much better.

  • I had A70 from 08.05 till 02.08, very durable phone, I used it as company phone I don't know how many hours i speak. I don't remember how many times i drop it on concrete, in sand, eve in water. Once car run on it and still it was working.

  • Excellent phone!!!!!!!

  • i have a wonderful mobile that is SIEMENS A70 but one day my son reduced its display contrast to 0 now the phone doesnot display anything please tell me what to do?

  • My A70 has 2.5 years and it works without problems, although it's scratches are very visible (it's damaged on exterior, the battery-fixer doesn't work and the battery-cover doesn't fix at body). I'm thinking change this mobile to a better mobile, but i passed bad times with a problematic Motorola and i'm afraid of passing again with another new mobile....money costs a lot to win.

  • I use this phone for international trips(namely beijing) and it gets marvelous reception. Great device couldnt have been happier since the phone was such a reasonable price

  • i wen to constract a i losted my screen please i also misplaed my manual.please i need munual on the net so that i can repair it.

  • can u insert GPRS in this type of a phone [A70]

  • Can you add words to the t9 dictionary of the phone?

  • My Mobile is Working Well be it has some Network Problem. When ever I use to Get inside of any Building at Ground Floor also it don't show tower, some time it use to switch off itself.

  • My Handset cannot switch on? bettary will ok

  • 2 years later and with a battery-cover that doesn't fix, the battery lock was broken yesterday after falling down and now doesn't secure on the mobile by itself, but not so easily. It's a good mobile and the battery is acceptable, but you don't expect too much for the price that what you pay for.

  • After one year is working very good and the battery is still in good shape so i can say theat is a good phone for it's price range

  • absolutely lame phone!!! imagine it's display just goes and comes and the phone never even fell!!!!

  • Good price. Really nice phone, sharp display, easy menu end good audio quality. Feels nice in your hand and fits in your pocket ( small, round corners, internal antenna). No frilss just a good cellphone. The Basic Phone. Got one for 30 euro incl. 10 euro phone credit.

  • this mobile's battery is so strange, Cuz it's not accurate at all. it doesn't show whether you have enough power left or not. But after all, this mobile is good for those who wanna make calls and write sms's too.

  • I think is a really good phone. Cheap, functional,simple, small and pretty. Its all I need...

  • Hi With the Siemens A70 to quickly put on silent mode, you long hold the bottom left hand key, which has the bell and star symbols. The message that comes up is: All ring tones switched off. To switch back on just long hold the same key and the message is: All ring tones switched on. Regards

  • i have buy a Siemens A70.that is very useless phone because in that phone no battery avillable.and second thing siemens company is use less company please my dear customer do not buy any thing which is releated to the the siemens company.very very stupid company and useless

  • This has got to be the worst phone I have ever owned. Every time I receive a call it switches itself off. No manual with the phone only a slip of paper. Still haven't found how to put it on silent mode for meetings yet! changing back to my brick sized Nokia.

  • Anyone can help me about this issue? What does it mean when you're trying to make a call, and a message coming up saying CALL BARRED... I've tried to make modifications in each of the all menu, without success... PLEASE SOMBODY HELP!!!!!

  • Good phone for 15 $ wouldn't you say.People tend to forget what a phone is.To call and send sms.For that price nothing comes closer

  • With 1,5 years's lifetime, this mobile is very good for the essencial (calls and SMS)! It's light, tiny, display (monochromic) is well read, keypad is good for SMS's, good reception, and resistant to the falls. But it has some disavantages. Construction is normal for a low-budget phone but the battery-cover (with bad conception) has a broken rabbet, although the battery has a mechanism that don't leave get out accidentally! And the battery lasts only 3-4 days with normal use, which is only acceptable but there are other low-end mobiles in market from Nokia (mainly), Samsung, Sony Ericsson that have much better battery (average one week or more in some cases)! I don't want to say that Siemens A70 is crap but this mobile could have a better battery!

  • I bought this Siemens A70 two weeks ago. I really enjoy using it.It is a lightweight user friendly mobile phone.

  • Siemens A70... it is a very user friendly phone. It is used for rough use. It is also made in Bangladesh and its very cheap .. is this mobile able to receive picture message from Nokia?

  • I buy this phone for my vacations on portugal its a really good phone I got no problems whit it funny games inside

  • A70 iz kinda kewl.. i hav dis phone but i cant receive any EMS picture message.. and can anyone tell me some secrets or unseen thing in A70? -visit www.djaimz.tk

  • Very bad software design. Absolutely unusable.

  • The best choice-cheap,long-life battery,small and that "LatinBeat"ringtone:))

  • I have this phone as second phone, it's really nice and cheap, it cost only 20$. :D

  • so far siemen a70 is the best cheapest phone .but bad to those who can not use it;1.it is easy to use Cos I use it with out the manuel.2.well organised phone Book.3.it small size and lightness .for all your problem on sms(barred) and self going off you can mail me for solution they are nothing. siemen na you biko.

  • so far siemens A70 is the best to it is back to does who can not handle it . 1.simple to use 2.well organiced phone book 3.modera

  • I already use this phone. If i compare the price and the features that we get is equal. The weight is not heavy. good phone

  • Well, it's good but just the sound quality when listening to someone while phoning is a little bad. also it's a little bit not strong enough to find the network in a difficult place.

  • The only advantage of the phone is its ability to roam, other than that I consider it a waste of time and money. It is not user friendly and can be trusted to break down when you need it the most....A waste I call it A WASTE!!!

  • Can this phone ROAM?

  • its not good phone and very unlucky and very not good

  • hi 2 all,1st of all i wanna clear it 2 ya that Siemens A70 is quite much good money worthed fone as well as the amount which ya r paying 4r it is so cheap so if ya have a more money & want more features so just buy a cell fone according to ur pocket.

  • I like this phone, it is a good phone, with (very) standard features. If you need a cellphone for calling or sending an sms only, This cellphone is very useful. It can send an sms with 760 characters long, Very light in weight, and It costs only Rp 410.000 (US$ 43) in Indonesia

  • i think it is a terriblephone which should be left in a pile of poo which is where it belongs

  • A70 is a good phone,dispite that its a portable phone,easy to opperate,.just try one you will agree with me,no need to pay much its cheap.

  • After 11 months, although it's construction are very cheap (keypad makes noises after being used some time later and the panels squeak a little but i never expected too much in entry level's construction and i have a solid Siemens S35i) and it's a little slow, never gave me problems, keypad is very pratical to messages, SMS memory is essential and signal is good! It has aproximately 41 hours and 30 minutes of calls and almost a dozen of thousand of SMS (and i'm not just kidding because i sent many SMS per day)!

  • Here's the situation. I bought this cell for my mama, and I can say you can find BETTER phone easily! My old M35 was better than this. Nokia 1101 is a lot better and they have the same price. This is the reality.

  • its a cool phone. but i think that the orange colour display should be changed, it looks odd. any how it is a nice phone in price

  • i am asking how can i send pictures and games from my computer to my siemens A70

  • Nothing new, kind of small; but practical u can�t ask more for the price!! it works for me. but what the hell the little phones on the left of the in-message screen mean for god sake!

  • before this I had a C56 (well, an upgraded A56) which was unfortunately stolen.Now I have an A70,it`s not bad,but the menu is some difficult to understand. Will somebody tell me if I can change the software to that of C56?

  • I'm using this phone sporadically, and I agree with the most of the opinions (to slow, very nice, handy...). But I'm anoyed by something: can it be that you can't answer with the green button, and mus answer with the top left button???

  • I've been using the cell since January 2006. My last experience with Siemens was with the S6. I loved that phone. This one is not bad but the really annoying thing about it is that it's too dang'd slow, specially sending messages. otherwise also, the menu response really needs some imporvement. Overall decent phone. I would fall in love with it if it were much faster. Phones I've had (reverse chronological order: Siemens A70 Nokia 5210 Nokia 3200 Siemens S6

  • its a nice phone in this price.... u can get the user manual here

  • Hi It is just two months I have started using this Siemens A70. Best things that i found are less weight and handy, bright orange color screen is too good. Things that need to be improved.. Seems there are less features.. In the Phone Memory i can store only 50 Contact No's. How to increase/reduce the volume of the Incoming/outgoing calls. Is there facility for speaker phone. New ringtones cannot be downloaded, very less ring tones available within the mobile.. World Time is not available.. I like my mobile very much, but still these above features i seem to miss.. Thanks

  • I do not have a user manual for my Siemens A70 phone. Unlike the other phone types, i have searched through the internet to look for its user manual withouty succses. Can l please get it posted to my email or get the website for it? I need help.

  • i am using A70 from last thre months its a great phone in this price range i dont think that there is any phone more attractive then that

  • Siemense A70 we have just bought the A70 3 days back but their is no English / Arabic phone manual along with the phone set. I am un able to make any calls except the last two call I made at the begining when I have installed the SIM card. I'm unable to unlock the phonecode. and it gives a massege that the calls are barred.

  • i have a70.it has some nice things, but the battery lifetime is bad.it sometines goes off, when i have an incoming call.my phone id is 35-6342-00-867289-7.

  • hello to everyone well i have the a70 since january and it's a great phone but the only problem it's that you can't add new ringtones, but here in Per� there's a phone service that for 1.20 USD they send you ringtones, I think that maybe you can find this service in your country bye

  • i love my siemens phone so much but only it some times goes off alone and also i dont know how add ringings tones to it.My phone ID is (35-6342-00-86 1597-9)

  • this set is a cute and descent set my friend bought it from Dubai and now im using it India but i dont know how to install more ringtone to the mobile

  • it is very nice phone -small and useful

  • It is very light with lots of features.but there is no infra red.

  • very nice and easy to use. I bought it recently. Does somebody know how to turn on the vibration??

  • a70 is the coolest mobile i have ever used.

  • It's a great little phone!

  • Siemens A70 Rocks

  • hi, I have been using A70 siemens model mobile since last two months. But suddenly it has off after used two months. I have tries to charge up but failed. What have to do? Can somebody advise me? bye Bablu Kibria.

  • @Erick It will be saved to phone memory first, once the phone memory is full it will then use the SIM card to save SMS

  • hi, i buy yesterday a new siemens a70, in Brasil and, I let recharging the battery for 13 hours, and after that, i did all the normal procedures.. But, it is switching off, for no reasons. Someone know why? thanks

  • Can anyone help me to change the SMS to be stored on the Sim card directly and not on the memory phone, cause i realized that the performance of the phone increases when the messages are saved first on the sim card. This make to response and clear messages faster Thanks!

  • You must simply love it. Like a Stratocaster guitar. It's got everything you can find in a womaan, in music, in life. Now I am going to play with software. Best buy!!!

  • Siemens A70 is a very user-friendly set!

  • How can I download ringtones from the net or compose my own since I cannot locate the composer? Any help out there?

  • This is the most un-userfriendly phone i have ever seen, very complicated indeed. MR

  • I like the phone very much but do not know how to change the screen colour. Please help

  • Anita i'm Portuguese too and i have this mobile! I've this problem too (my variant is E517) and i enter after the word (that i can't see in display) and the word appears! It's boring but i'm acostumized and sometimes i forget that (and i send many sms's per day)! I like the keypad (less noisy and much confortable than my older nokia 3310 - the mobile that was replaced by this A70)!!! Beijinhos

  • Siemens A70 just rocks!!! i have bought it recently...

  • I have problems with my SMS. When I write some words they don't appear at the screen. Is seems that all Siemens A70 in Portugal have this problem. This mobile is a very simple phone. I can't understand how some people say that it's the best phone they ever had.

  • plz how can i updat the software in cx70 and the full address about software

  • i woukd like to have a few photos of this phone and also i would like to have the momentary prise ,thanks for your patience

  • Tell me how can I download other polifonic ringtones.

  • I have this phone for two months, and i amnot so happy. It is a good phone but sometimes it seems to have some problems.

  • I just bought Siemens A70. I have found it an excellent mobile with great sound quality.

  • Does this model support GPRS.

  • This bloody thing can't even reveive ringtones!!!!

  • This phone is just simple, reliable and excellent audio quality. The fact that its software is oldfashionned is a plus, given the normal hassle and crashing behavior of the more modern phones. cheap and reliable, thsi phone costs less then a nokia battery, think about it. Best phone I ever had... 9/10

  • I want to know how much SMS can be saved in memory of this phone?

  • It's a very good phone if you are a first-time user. Very simplified and user-friendly, with all the basic features. If all you need a phone for is to call people and text them and you don't like phone complexity - this phone is for you, not that expensive as well

  • I bought this terminal today and i'm happy with it! The construction is good and keypad is silenced and confortable! It's early to talk about the battery! Display is as good in font and brightness/contrast!

  • This phone will compete with the Nokia 2100 and Motorola C155. The Siemens A75 will compete with the Nokia 2600 and 2650.

  • I'm sure the other mobile phone giants have budget mobile sets which offer much better features than the A70. N2650, 2600, 3120? Anyway, that's just how I feel.

  • siemens makes affortable mobile phones for the low budgeted people, thanks siemens and long live.

  • People out there still want budget phones. Elderly people and pre-teenage kids aren't going to be using the latest mp3 colour smartphones are they? Nor can they afford them either.

  • I don't understand the Siemens A70 at all. No colour screen, no camera, no nothing. This is a ridiculously low end phone.

  • reminds me of my old siemens s45,shud be abid seller
