  • it was my first mobile ......... sweet memories

  • i have a siemens phone AX72 and i find it difficult to download games,sounds and i can't even browse on the internet. i need help.

  • I have one brand new sealed cable it cost me 1500 and i brought from Guwahati. I can spare that.

  • who has its usb cable/connector? where did you buy it? i badly need one.. thanks!

  • my problem in my siemens phone model ax72 is same with u..

  • bogus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • how to set the gprs??i'm not able to use this phone for browsing,,

  • Battery will not be available

  • the set is lyka wh...s..t; battery lasts too short

  • slykstyne tu

  • exccelent, narko

  • I am going nuts cos my ax72 turns off also,i did have a copy of full manual but my daughter deleted it - nokia here i come!

  • well I thought it was just me ,one minute the phones on,then off,also one quick phone call & the battery s flat,BUT I still think a half decent phone,Also very tough.

  • this is kind of funny but still i have to know coz i love my ax72! where can i buy the battery for my siemens ax72? am serious..

  • Its a good set. And it was my first handset. Still it is working. My father use this along with Samsung D500 for another number. But I was not able to connect to PC through USB thats a problem. Off course it alsolooks good.

  • A real good handset! Its simple, it looks cool and is very easy to handle. It was my first cell and I just love it. I bought it in 2005 and its still working good for me. Though at present its not my primary handset, but I couldn't throw it away.

  • I was out in a very seedy part of Jakarta and dropped my AX72 into a very nasty bubbling cesspool of a sewer. i picked it up after it was fully submerged, wiped it off and it still works just fine. it is a durable product. i love it even though it's kind of smelly now.

  • me too, me says ''GPRS Acces Denied'' and then ''Download Failed''

  • good

  • All is good.But I can't download any games via wap.When i start to download it shows " download failed"

  • For those who can't find batteries for the AX72, I found some at cellphoneshop.com. I haven't had a chance to find out how long they last, but at least there are still some available.

  • I bought one 2 years ago,it started to turn itself off, When I contacted customer care line they sent me a FREE new battery & its been good as ever .I think a half decent phone!

  • my AZX72 is not turning on but the battery is full. Itstarted by flashing the light on the pads in an on-off scenareo then later on stopped working , please I beg you with options.

  • surely a "DROP DOWN" phone .........i call it becz i had dropped it several times 4m ma hand.....but stil.........using good

  • The Siemens mobile AX72 is cheating mobile. The battery can be used only half of theyear.No one have the battery No body should buy any Siemens company product especially mobile handset.

  • Battery often getting down. Low battery bakup. After getting fully charged, Battery backup is not coming even for 1 hr. After fully charged I made one call after that power back up is going down at zero level.

  • We have purchase the siemens mobile AX72, but before to completition of one year that baterry is creating lot of problem and we have not get any response from the siemens customer care. And in the market this baterry is not available and nobody give the correct address to purchase the new baterry. I am totally unsatisfied by the siemens mobile customer service.

  • battary replasement

  • I would like the instructions in English on how to use this mobile Siemens ax72 Please do not send me any other promotional material. Thank-You Mr M Grimshaw

  • Customer service sucks because Siemens has been bought by BenQ, becoming BenQ-Siemens, which has gone bankrupt. So you're on your own! I think showrooms actually want to get rid of Siemens phones.

  • I am using AX 72. But i phone code of it for security

  • I'm using Siemens AX72 about 1.5 year, Good mobile phone, durable and easy but the cover of mobile is like toy cover. And cumbersome (heavy)to use.

  • I am using Siemens AX72 since last 6~7 month's. This 1 is my first phone. I always adore "Siemens" mobile phones. Main advantage is, if you live in a country like India & if your mobile gets lost, nobody going to use it. Siemens mobile phones are difficult to use..Hehe ! Big advantage of this model, drop down this phone on group many times, and you'll see no scrach..LoL...I dropped several times err.. Thank got still full network... Samsung has this disadvantage, if you have Samsung phone & it falls down, its gone man. Network goes off. The chip inside gets disturb or something. I am planning to buy advanced model of Siemens soon. For this model, battery goes up to 2 days 6 hours max. Even if it shows little battery, it still goes up to 2~3 hours. Charging battery maximum for 2 hours is the best practice. Regards, Amey.

  • i dont think this has to do with unlocking. the issue is that i purposefuly keyed in the wrong phone code for three times and now the phone can only accept just that my sim. i find this amazing because i thought since i knew the phone code, when the phone is locked, i should be prompted for the phone code whenever i want to use the feature. instead the phone will just tell you phone code locked. whats happening somebody... i need help.

  • I bought siemens ax72 just now and i also bought the data cable. But when i install the cable, driver the mobile phone manager shows the mobile is not connected. i try lot to connect it but i fail. can any one help me how i can connect my mobile with my pc.

  • nice phone and i need one

  • Does anyone know how to clean the inside of the screen? It's annoying that dust particles gather it reduces visibility and I can't open the cover! I've tried unscrewing it but the screws don't come out. Anyone pls help! pls email [email protected]

  • Someone please help! I can't change the ringtone on my phone. I can't even find the ringtone that it plays in the list of sounds on my phone. I have spent about 1.5 hours on this and it just keeps playing the same tone, even though it tells me that the melody has been updated. I am going into the ring tones menu, Call tone, change and then selecting any other tone but the phone steadfastly refuses to change! If I don't solve this soon this phone is going to become a new satellite!! Thanks.

  • great phone for a tight buget and i like the colour screen but its a bit slow and is like a brick. i would get it as my first phone

  • battery does not even last a day

  • For the low cost it's a really great phone. Sorry to hear about others' problems but I've had mine for several months without any.

  • I bought this phone and i made a mistake. it is disaster, my previous Motorola 190 was 100 time better.

  • I happen to posess one of these. Advantages:it has the same number or more features than any phone at the same price, 65K color screen, good resolution, USB connectivity, nice looks, Siemens quality Disadvantages: works pretty slowly, the back thing comes off too easily, so if you drop it bare, the back cover will almost certainly fall together with the battery (not a major problem as can be fixed with a plastic holder), reduced battery life (it's gone in 3 days in stand-by). Anyway, it is much better than a more expensive Nokia 1100/1101/1110/1111 and what ever they will be making. Thumbs Up for Siemens!

  • *Every sie ax72 user should read this* Sum1 asked he cant silent his phone. Then plz push(*) star button &it will show "All rings tones swit. off".Now u can pick silent alert 4vibrate.

  • I agree with all the others who say there phone keeps turning itself off. I'll be waiting on a call and when I check I'll find it off! A bit frustrating. Question for everyone though...does anyone know where I can find the meaning of the symbols used in sms and mms menus? The manual doesn't say and I keep getting different symbols for what I thought were normal sms messages...Thanks!

  • *Every sie ax72 user must read this* According to my first post you can also go to_setup-clock-auto swit.off and make sure that it is in manual. If not then turn it on "manual" mode. Remember when you are browsing please turn on illumination in 10. If you set illu in 90 then you can hardly get 1 hour. But in 10 I browsed 5 hours. And dont forget to master reset your set after a month...-M-

  • Could someone tell me how to put on the vibrate option, pretty please.

  • Agree with last posters, piece of junk. Keeps switching itself off and battery life is diabolical!

  • bought two ax72 phones one for me and one for my wife both phones keep turning off by themselves, absolutely crap.

  • A Siemens AX72 was bougth in Valencia , Spain ( December 2oo6 ). Price was 24 Euros for a completely new phone . Movistar ( Telef�nica ) is the phone company . Con : back cover too easy to unlock . Pros : Color display , tri-band , easy to use .

  • i have the same problem as pete - can anyone tell me why my phone keeps switching off - this is the second replacement - also cannot download full details of instructions from internet - been told that this is not a problem with this phone but obviously not the case

  • this phone is wicked and I think that I will enjoy having it as my new phone cos my sister lost my sansung a800 and brought me this phone to replace it.

  • i bought my phone two months ago and i had to have two replacement phones already.can someone tell me why this phone keeps switching its self off!

  • bought one in spain - ideal, however, can anyone tell me why all the calls i try and make are barred? otherwise excellent phone!

  • Where can I find the manual in English, French, German or Dutch. I only have it in Spanish, which I do not understand. Thanks in advance

  • The AX72 has proven so far to be work very well. It is a good-looking phone,its great value for your money and loads of usefull tools that are necessary when you are on the move. It is also triband so I wont need to change phones since I frequently travel to the US. It doens thowever have a digitized camera and some sort of infra-red port. Meover, if the performance of the battery and the phone had was improved, I would give it a vote of 9.5/10. Dimitrios from Essex

  • This mobile phone works fine. I used it in a visit of mine in Canada so it catches frequencies of GSM 1900. Pierre from France.

  • AX72 works perfectly in USA I use mine everytime i visit. No problems at all.

  • hi. my handset has not come alongwith any cable to connect to a PC. How do I add ringtones- any suggestions? Not sure where the handsfree button is. Thanks in advance.

  • Hey!! can any1 help me plz. I wanto istall opera mini for my ax72 but i did not find anywhere.... please help so that i can istall opera mini for my mobile. Can I use opera mini for m55,ax75 in my ax72?? plz mail me

  • I got it 'cos I had already the camera from a M55 and it was free when I signed the contract, half an year ago. It's stylish indeed. A class A, the poorest at Siemens, it's worth to have than a middle class phone Nokia made..! No problem at all with the battery. The bad side: I find no patches to make AX72 the way I like, as I did to the old friend M55...

  • The phone can receive 120 messages (including sent and sim). My battery power lasts up to 2 days.It is very light in weight. The pictures are a bit fuzzy though and it fell once. nothing wrong but now every little thud it gets it go off. very sensitive. It says no infrared and no bluetooth but someone mention something about the transparent bitsies on the side of the phone. Has anyone found out anything about it? or is it just the design? Thank u in advance

  • I bought this phone recently as a replacement for a Nokia 1101, which is a similar price. Complaints: * The battery life is terrible. In addition, the battery life indicator is very unreliable. It displays full battery one minute, then empty the next. When I turn it back on it displays full again. * The interface design could have been better done by a 3 year old. The menus are laid out in the most illogical manner possible. It is always hard to find what you want. * The menus, games, and address book load excruciatingly slowly and responce time to user input is awful. This can be very annoying if you are in a hurry. * Lack of sensible ringtones. Good points: * There are plenty of useful features such as currency converter, calendar, and time zone information. The games are fun too, especially Wappo 2, despite poor technical and aesthetic design. * The phone is sturdily built and will not break if you drop it. * The voice recognition option is very useful and usually works flawlessly.

  • thanks Amey. I just ordered mine and it should reach in a week.

  • I bought Siemens AX 72 2 week's ago in India. Good 1 @ reasonable price + tri band & polyphonic ring tones. This mobile already falled 1~2 times but no damage. Talk time is ok..Like hmm 2~3 hours + games,GPRS extra. I wonder if this handset really has "Infra red port". Because at right hand side and at left hand side i saw two little tranparent design which is covered by company tape. I am doubtful if it's nothing but infra red...Otherwise they dont need to add that design right ? Anybody there to clarify ? Thanx, Amey.

  • very nice.but security system is very bad.

  • extremely user unfriendly, makes me nervous

  • What is the actual standby time of this phone when new?How many maximum SMS can it hold?

  • it may seem bad but for 17.00 pounds it is great

  • Will an actual owner and user kindly answer through this column as to how many sms AX72 can hold in the phone in addition to sim card capacity and whether the 600 mah battery is as bad as it is made out to be?What is the actual standby time in the initial stage?

  • the only problem is that the phone run games very slowly and also the battery autonomy

  • i got this for my son romeo.he loves it

  • i have got it today and it is fabulus. i have a camre and recordable things. i would defenetly recomend this to my friends.

  • Does anybody know if itis possible to upload ringtones and images to AX72 through the USB DCA-510 cable? Thanks

  • Now I'm looking for AT command set for Siemens AX72. Could anyone give me the AT command set for siemens AX72 ?

  • So I know this is a GSM phone, but is it a GSM worldphone? Basically, can I use it in both the States and Europe? I bought it in Europe, but haven't tried using it in the States yet, and was wondering how I might go about doing so.

  • How can I get a proper ring tone - not one of those awful jingles that are all there seem to be on this phone. I mean one that slunds like a land line phone - just goes brrr brrr.

  • I am fully satisfied with siemens ax72. this small phone has photocall, amr song, great voice dial even menu can be dialed with this. inrpite of its low price it has great looking. but sometime ago i format this set. so some my important thing is being deleted. i tried to download there thing from siemens website. but they shows me that my session is expired. can anyone help me.....

  • Good phone,i can download .jad files but how can i download .jar files.if i attempt,i receive "bad request"message.please e mail 2 me. thanks

  • Can anyone tell me how to change the volume of the speaker (I do not mean the ringtone.)? Thank you in advance.

  • How can you say this phone is really "basic"? For lack of camera or FM or MP3? But this is a phone, not a photocamera or a walkman! 500 contacts in phonebook, each one with 5 numbers, 2 e-mail, url, address, notes and picture is "basic"? USB connectivity is "Basic"? THESE are features for a mobile phone, not camera or FM! There are a lot of toys, with camera, mp3 and FM, and without organizer and with a poor phonebook! ...but don't call them "phones", please!

  • How does Sony Ericssion J100i compare to Siemens AX72?. Both are priced same in VirginMobile. I am planning to buy a few and gift them for friends. Specification-wise AX72 looks far better than J100i, but on battery J100i is better.

  • I can't find a way to make this phone ring when the caller ID is withheld. Does anyone know?

  • If someone is trying to conect an AX72 to his/hers computer, try using a software called s25@once, it works, i tried it on my Siemens AX72 and a could download my pictures, and put some sounds in my phone.

  • Nice phone - but I find no way to connect it to my computer via USB datacable (DCA 540).

  • I have had several mobiles, none with such a short battery time. Even when not using it at all, it just switch off every 3-4 days.

  • please tell me where the USB port is please tell my thank you very much

  • Yeah The best phone i have EVER had It HAS 10/10 Performance 10/10 Features and 10/10 Design well so i say THAT my Siemens AX72 is still in good Condition So It is a Wicked phone And a well done to SIEMENS for makeing thas Fantastic Phone!

  • Thank you Dave. I was thinking of buying AX72 to use in USA but now I will not!

  • Hi folks, Does anybody know if itis possible to upload ringtones and images to AX72 through the USB DCA-510 cable? Thanks for all tips. Cheers Pawel

  • Not a good phone. Slow and not very logical. Things don't always function properly (ie voicemail icon doesn't go away after you've listened to your message.

  • I have been unable to enable GSM1900... The menu pick in the manual is not on the handset - I bought this since it was an inexpensive tri-band...this is causing me grief while in North America. Any thoughts?

  • Well I bought this phone but I don't know how to turn oN the EXTERNAL FLASH. On the SITE is written that this phone had a EXT FLASH AS ACCESORry.CAn someone If know to tell me HOW TO DO THAT???????????????????????????

  • Unreliable, frustrating to use and the battery is always flat. Sorry Siemens, this one is no good.

  • I would like to ask is there USB cable to buy. I was asking in my country and the haven't got. I red here that the phone has USB.If u find in ur country USB tell me to know is it exist???

  • To n00by, yes :)

  • hy there , i bought this phone just 2 days ago and i think its a nice phone but i erased a game somhow i was hals sleeping;S but how can i get the game back? it was the translator blabla....

  • can i extend this telephone`s memory if I delete The Games ?

  • the battery doesnt even last for 1 day and when gprs is on the battery doesnt even last for 1 hour

  • i think it is cheap because i lost ma last phone so i had to buy a new one and the ax72 does the job for a fair price so it also has recording witch is fun to use so i think overall it is a good phone

  • Nice design, good display, fine sound quality, the menu is a little complicated but it looks fine (even file system formatting found). But... the battery is only 600mAh and it doesn't lock firmly, as well as the back cover. Recording is not excelent but it does the job... reported memory is 1.32MB instead of 1.5MB as in the specifications, and I tried to delete the games (I didn't like them) hoping to free some memory... the games were deleted, but I didn't notice extra free space (maby the games were that small???). Overall, I think it's a good choice considering the quality-price ratio.

  • I am using the set for last two days. With its cheap price, the handset is ok. But not the battery. It does not last even 24 hours in Dhaka network. I think people why wants to but it shoud keep its standby time in mind.

  • Wanted to know where I can find some communication software for this phone and if this supports AT Command Set. Tnks

  • i wanted to know how could i play recieved ringtone.i am trying but i am not able to so pls help me i am not at all satisfied as i couldnt play recieved ringtone and even pic message so pls check that so that i may satisfy

  • Does it have a vibration mode? How do I activate it?

  • How the hell do you lock the keypad?!!

  • Alright, i got this phone to have a virgin mobile phone. for �20 it's absolutely amazing, perhaps a little slow, I've not found anywhere that stocks the IQP-500 (camera to attach) and the one i got had no vibrate (being replaced) Easy to use ok, no IR/bluetooth, but what do you expect? �20!

  • Very good stylish shape, elegant impression and a glance it's looks like premium type. Very low price than the advantage I got. Simple and higly usable. I think it's the best price for low end mobile phone.

  • For James. you go to Settings, profiles, there you chose your profile and activate silent alert.

  • can anyone tell me why i cant send sms? it says the message was sent but it never arrives. anyone able to help?

  • Can someone please explain to me how to turn on vibrate mode on this phone? I have tried selecting 'silent alert' under Ring Tones, but the phone still rings with an incoming call. Turning silent mode on or off changes nothing... Thanks!

  • A pretty good cellphone. This cellphone has all the basic elementes what an average consumer needs. The price is also very low, so I recommend this phone to all who needs a good cellphone with a low price.

  • can i extend my phone memory

  • how can i use mms and internet

  • hi, the designs are looking good. It's simply superb and worth for the cost. and elegance design. Compare with 1100 it's good.

  • Pretty decent phone. Great price, very slow with the opening of games and sounds but then, its not for the performance, but for the value for money and looks factor that u buy it. Overall good buy at the price.

  • its a good buy, cheap for a color display, gud recorder, fine colors.......overall 6/10

  • I just bought this phone..what can i say..a very nice design, but the menu is really ugly the GIF`s are bad designed. It doesn`t come with a manual..that is freeky..very low on features, but really good for an "from work" phone

  • siemens ax72 is realy performance, I am like it. it's very-very simple and elegance. but I can't satisfy, because FM RADIO not included.

  • how cann one fix the camara to the phone and where can the camara can be found is it to be bought or it is in the park of the phone Thank you i just got my phone newly

  • Its probably just something to go against the nokia 3120 or for a pre paid. Many just want a basic phone now and thats what this is.

  • wtf* is this....we are in 2006 and this is the best siemens can make...come on this have too be a joke, i know the phone was made in 2005, what you call this please come on.

  • i love siemens a got asking abut my phone 1. how to setup ax 72 that can login to the internet, and use mms? can you give me the prosedur. . 2. how to use camera in this phone??

  • where was it made(which country)? thank you

  • yeap!!!this phone is already in the market & chip price....

  • This phone is already available.Change the status of it,GSMArena.

  • good looking with nice feature... this phone is good competitor to SE J300, J210i; Motorolla c380, c651/650, LG B2100, Nokia 1600, 3120. if u siemens freak and got little budget or just wanna simple phone.. just buy this one..

  • to JR, at what point is the 1100 better than this one? coz it has 4mb of memory? jesus! IT HAS Monochrome graphic SCREEN! :D

  • How can you have this much standby time and talk time with 600mAH battery.I have MC60 with 700 mAH battery but it's giving very poor standby time and also talk time.

  • just s i m p l e :)

  • Fantastic Amazing Awsome design

  • functions are few but just look at it.. beautiful.

  • to abreeeba, u r the 1st to make a foolishness. cant u see the options it has? even Nokia 1100 is better than that. but i agree with u at one it really has a very attracting appearance

  • yahooo i'm the 1st to write :P thats a very good looking phone...no camera lol so what??? :)
