T-Mobile Vairy Touch - User Reviews

  • Had this phone, it was loud, could store all my songs and had this crappy little 'magic sushi' game on it which bizarrely, in a world before the Playstore, gave me hours of fun! All I needed as a young lad. :)

  • Not very good

  • Yep, i agree.

  • Yeah its not exactly a decent phone but its worth £15

  • I'm getting this phone in a couple of days, all i want is a cheap touch screen that works ;)

  • i need java me.. for games , and more aplication?in special games!?

  • From Poland They only sell this phone in England go to YAG.COM and they will tell u where else to get it from. Hope this helps babez Kristina Kawolski

  • Yes WW II : battle life Bejewelled FIFA 09 Gun war Formula 1 grand pix Mario Ultimate car race If u,r a girl than there is 2~4 Dress: girls with pAssion 4 fashion {leading to 10 other fashion games Fashion walk Tan girl with vajazzle And my favourite Bride to be girl

  • Go to settings then go to GET JAVA it will download within 1~3 minutes ok ? Good

  • what is NP code of this mobile phone

  • SAME! D: And even though everyone else says it's so lame, I seriously loved my phone! I lost it over 15 times and always got it back, the back came off and so on, and no earphones to replace fit in... BUT STILL! I loved my little phone... :3 And no it's refusing to come in... the only sign of life I have is right now, I've tried to get my old songs on to this computer, it didn't work, but my phone shows the sign of logging in... but otherwise! D: NOTHING! Help! :( Save the phone... :P

  • Where can I download the java?? pls help.. :)

  • Where can I download the java

  • Go to Contacts...then> Select Information...then> Select Owner Number Job done

  • I fitted a 15Gigabyte memory card. Who said it can only take a smaller memory card? OK it took a while for it to sort the monster memory card out. Job done. The only thing is it took all day on the USB cable to use WIN-XP-HOME to transfer ALL my music from my server to onboard the phone. Oh WOW my entire music server is onboard. That is over a hundred CDs I got a car/auto adaptor, now see the size of my cell/mobile battery, but it will not fit in the pocket without wheels suck on your backside (110 Ampere hours truck battery). The short point is it is USB powered and there are many, many adaptors from various supplies.

  • At first this was great, but after a while it just crashes a lot and the touch screen doesn't work very well. The buttons are tiny so you need small fingers.

  • how do I view my phone number I don't know what it is

  • I need that code as well does anybody know the code ??xx

  • To change the time it takes to black out go onto the settings and i can't remember in which section it is in(I got a new phone)but you can change that.I did have this phone so i know you can change it. I hope this helps x

  • how do i get the shortcut bar to dissapear!

  • I have this phone but i don't really like it, you can only play one game and it's battery runs out easily.You can hardly read the screen,screen blacks out every 5 seconds... It's kind of rubbish. But its okay...

  • Too many obtrusive unwanted features. Impossible to use in any sort of bright light outdoors. Thank goodness I kept my old phone. This one's going in the bin!

  • what games can I download or add in this phone. would anyone answer me plzzzzzz.

  • I had this problem with the locking then I found out how to do it. when on home screen, hold down the button you would press for contacts and it locks straight away :)

  • I have been using this phone for about year getting rid of it soon and cant wait I had problems with it The back of phone has become loose so now needs to be fastened with cello-tape The battery goes dead but then goes up without charging it wen it feels like it. Predictive text is hard to use, some basic words are not included and there is no way of adding words to dictionary not enough memory for a song without a memory card and it only holds up to 1 g b memory card. can have up to like 5 images on phone. cant set as wallpaper as it looks silly as it doesn't fill screen. music play is very low quality, i cant hear it with headphones in when outside, its far too quiet at maximum level. cat add any contact details other than a name and one number when you go on to recent calls, it does not tell you how many calls were made to the last person unless you called someone else inbetween.

  • how get gprs setting for idea connection for this phone

  • I have this phone for about 1 year, and i try to get rid of him. I want to buy Vairy touch II, i thing is better then this one. I don't know why thei make the Games section if is only 1 game in the phone and you can't install others, this is crap.No Java? Why? The Lock/Unlock is annoying. You can't lock you'r phone with a press of a button, you have to stay 5 sec. to lock and then put it in your pocket. If you recive a SMS, you can't use the Unlock slidebar, you have to use the Left-Right buttons. Personally, I don't like it.

  • For the price, this phone is OK, if a little annoying if you're used to smartphones. They can be unlocked and used on other networks, but don't expect the data options to work fully - like picture messaging. I've unlocked mine (just look it up on the net and you'll find instructions) and am using it on Vodafone, but can't seem to find the options for changing the data settings. A Vodafone shop may help. No Java games, as it doesn't support Java. Easy to push tunes on to the data card. It finds and plays tunes from a 4GB data card much faster than on my Nokia, which takes about a minute to find and play a tune. All-in-all, a good phone for the money.

  • im thinking of buying this phone and am intrested should i its only about 100 dollars

  • i am having the same problem. if u get what could be done to avoid please tell me 2

  • it ran out of battery, so i put it on charge, and now it wont tur on, not even to say it's being charged:( i've tried charging it through my laptop but it still doesnt work, someone help!

  • how do i install downloaded application on my t mobile vairy touch fone

  • i borke my screen can it be replaced

  • How can I avoid the home and shortcut icon from the middle of my phones screen...it stays always the middle of my touch screen thats annoying me...pls help me...

  • i forgot my np code

  • you press the 0 button for the space bar in messaging, hope that helps you.

  • he cant read any games or apllications

  • I have the same problem, although i have downloaded my pictures before, but for the life of me cannot remember how on earth i did it. JAY

  • Hello there. I just want to know what kind of games can i load on my phone.It do not support java applications.I have a t mobile my touch.

  • can you upload pictures to facebook via the phone ? -my laptop died,and i need to know if i can upload it that way and how. thanksss:]

  • slide either with your pen or finger from right to left on the arrow. or press rights soft key and then left.

  • to change ring tone you need to to got settings, then user profile then general then custimize and all options will come up to change call, sms, alarm ect. and when you on phone talking you can only go to contacts messages, record call ect.

  • to space you press 0 but you will have to be either on setting eziABC or ABC, because if you on 123 then only 0 will come up. to change settings you pesss # untill comes up.

  • I have this phone the usb used to work on it till one day it just stopped so now i have to use bluetooth on phone to send photo's and vid's to a bluetooth dongle on pc the cam and vid are quite reasonable quality and mp3 music player is very good sound is very load i not sure if this phone can run jar softwares on it it says it can from certain websites like ­ they quite few jar's i havent clue how they managed to run it on the phone the internet browsers not to bad pages keep saying unsupported but still loads page up using it to look up information is allright. google works on it it's not bad phone quite cheap for price. and phone call making is easy and very good

  • You need to install your cd to the computer

  • yes this phone will work with virgin, i had no probs.

  • you CAN change the ringtone and its not crap

  • This phone lasted me a year it didnt do much and without a memory card i could take highest of 8 pictures. And if i wanted to change the picture on the main page it would always have the bar across the top.BUT the phone did have its advantages as well it was nice and small and could fit into any pocket. It has a clear sound when speaking and is also very simple to use. I got this phone for my 10th bday and for my 11th this year im getting the ORANGE RIO !!!!

  • touch the hand=g up botton then the one above and then the one next to that then the answer one and then press the amswer 1 again and the 1 above then the 1 next to it and then the hangup button hope this helps

  • Crap phone cannot change ring tone, cannot change message ring tone, cannot access key pad when on the phonne this makes it unusable when calling a multi-choice call centre.

  • thank you :-)

  • @roseanne. Assuming you use Windows, you need to install the software from the CD, then you can see the phone as a hard drive in my computer

  • anyone know how to put stuff on your phone from your wire as ive plugged the wire in and nothings comming up :S? heeeelp please xx

  • go into messages, write message. write text at bottom of screen under abc press key on the next screen under number 9 is the key for space bar for text. hope this helps you.

  • I can't find how to bring up the querty keypad. Any thoughts?

  • PLEASE help. I have the phone and really like it. Took me AGES to learn to text but i still dont know how to space!? PLEASE ANSWER MEE.

  • it will only let you have and listen to music from the inter that you downloaded ontto your phone

  • really? i never knew that but i does keep running out.... every1 keeps saying to me y didn't you answer your phone? blah blah blah.... and i say its run out of battery..... *huff*

  • I am very annoyed about its battery performace. Have send to the shop and it came back still bad. The battery is lasting only 24hs, which is annoying! love the phone but battery very disappointing!

  • Um....when i get music, from comp or bluetooth somtimes it comes up as a little box beside the song. What does this mean? Can i still listen to them? (because at the mo i cant) PLEASE HELP!

  • to unlock it when you have a call or message you press the left key then the right key, vise vera depending on what it says.

  • I cant put music on my phone from pc because it says its malfunctioned

  • i know how to do everything on this phone apart from unlock it when you have got a missed call. can anyone help?

  • this phone is fantastic. but i cant set my own text message tone. can anyone help?

  • Yes, you definetly should. I really like it and I'm going to get it too.

  • as for a 15 pounds very good,all working,simple to use:))

  • The button above your green dial button - press and hold til it locks

  • Ignore anything people say about this phone being no good. They are ignorant, unintelligent halfwits. The phone does what it says on the box. You CAN change wallpapers, down load ringtones, transfer music and MP3's, it takes 1.3mp pics, comes with a 1GB miniSD card in the box, has a touchscreen, and BT connection. £15 from Tesco I think is a serious bargain. Its cheap, small and lightweight and it works.

  • how the hell do you lock this phone its driving me crazy! lol i no it does it aucto after a while but i dont want to wait!!

  • im gonna get it all the things i've seen with this phone i think it's very cool i think im gonna fall in love with thats what i did when i first saw it...:)

  • yoou know the way the text key pad is real small? is there any way you can make it bigger so that you dont have to use the pen ?

  • I hate that my phone, so I colour it in tinsel green. Now it looks better, but I still hate it !

  • i think is fabulous cool and the best phone ever

  • yes ya can ive got the white 1 youvee got to go on messages sms write messagethen press where it has abc or 123

  • Can you change the font size to make the writing bigger

  • We are getting on ok now I have worked out how to switch it on.

  • Send to 441 FREE 6 MONTH WEB Best

  • how do i do space in a text message

  • how can i unlock this fon.

  • Just a small question what phrase do you send to 441 to get the internet, i got the text but deleted it by mistake thanks

  • To get a ringtone on your t mobile vairy touch you can download mp3 tracks that you like to your computer and transfer them to your phone via the usb lead then go into contacts and then caller group then you can assign a group ringtone .I think you can have as many as you want per group with adifferent mp3 track for each

  • Ive just got this phone as a replacement of my other phone till i can upgrade, its very funny phone, dont expect a lot from it, but for 30 quid you cant complain, you can call, txt and thats about it!!! Chin up and dont get upset!!

  • Press numberone on your phone :D

  • Press one means press the numberone lol x

  • ive got it in purple too

  • ive got it in purple and its cool

  • @Anonymous "How do you "press one?" Like I was trying to top up my phone by calling 150, but they said to press one. How can you do that on a touch phone?! -_-U" Once during the call, tap the screen in the middle at the bottom of the screen (there should be a little blue phone icon). Tap that and the numeric keypad should appear. You can then use that to type in the numbers that correspond to the options when calling 150.

  • Not a bad phone for the money as the touch screen works fine for me, as do its other features. The only real let down for me was the lack of java support (as I love to install stuff like google maps and loads of free game downloads on my phone). So at the end of the day if you want an honest to goodness half decent cheap touchscreen phone just for making calls, sending sms messages and all, this is your phone. If however you want java functionality, look elsewhere.

  • If you go to Interactive and then Pre Pay, on your phone, you type in the 16(?)number code on your top- up voucher. This works! I just found this out!

  • I found out how - Interactive and then Pre pay top Up

  • does any one know if t-mobile vairy touch can hold avi files?

  • i think there might be an option on the phone that brings up the keypad during a call, iv got something like that on my samsung tocco lite, so im guessing the vairy myt have sumthing similiar, hope this helped :)

  • i wot to put a ring tone on but in dont no how to do it

  • how do u fine predictive text on the phone and what do you do if the ear phone is not working

  • you can download ringtones and music but not games

  • you can put music on this phone by using the free USB cord that comes with the phone. You simply plug your phone into your pc with the USB and go onto sites the phone takes mp3 files a recomended site is www.MyTinyPhone.com =]

  • i like this fone. u get 6months free internet first of all. it says upto 2gb microsd, i have a 4gb in mine and works perfectly. i havent gone to deep into it yet but gr8 as a fone, mp3 player and videos. good value for money.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!

  • the vairy touch comes in black/siver/white. the white and chrome one is reel cute. as for the texting, if you have used a nokia and foud how simple and quick it is to text then you will find the vairy touch will drive you right up the wall.overall this phone would make a very good paperweight or door wedge......pete

  • looks good, feels good and im sorry thats were it ends its all down hill from here. the touch screen, well its not so much touch it does need a dam good prod so good if you like knocking your phone about. next. this text thing, to be honest after messing with it for an hour or so the phone did get quite knocked about, the ezi text, not ezi it does your head in and the handwriting thing i dont think the vairy touch can understand english and finaly were is the qwerty key pad found, oh yes on the computer cos i sure cant find it in the phone. to sum up if you want a touch screen/ease of use/easy texting. my advise is spend a little more and buy a different phone.

  • You are all complaining about the WAP and email features on this phone. This phone does not claim to be a smartphone and neither it is priced as one. For the price this phone is brilliant so shut up moaning and get a bloody blackberry for your emails.

  • i dont understand when i plug the usb in and click webcam nothing happens?

  • thi phone does not have java and it's bad to use you can't press anything on the screen

  • ok :)) i have done it with a unlocked version of this phone

  • why not

  • its complicated nd for adults !!!!!!!!!!=

  • how can you use the webcam option? i plug in the usb but the camera won't work

  • why should i share it?

  • Connect it to the PC in the mass storage mode, and you will see two removable drives in "My computer". One for the memory card on the phone, and one for the intermal phone memory. Then, you can transfer whatever you like on the MicroSD card.

  • You probably have synched with Outlook but not with this phone... And if you have figured out a way, share it with the community...

  • fone load of rubbish and not worth the money

  • not true

  • I have synched the calendar with microsoft outlook.It's easy.

  • Strange phone... Pros: it has touch-screen, nice calendar, 2GB microSD, small res camera (1.3mpix) but solid quality photos, good speaker and mic. It's charged through standard charger or through USB. In USB mode it can be used as a memory stick, webcam or as a modem. On the other side it doesn't support JAVA(???), the web browser seems to be very simple (wap browser???), and I cannot figure out how to synch the calendar with microsoft outlook (and if this is not possible, then this phone is for the trashcan). Also forget about e-mail features. Does anyone know how to synch the calendar with microsoft outlook?

  • This is best phone

  • This phone's a piece of crap. DO NOT buy one

  • You don't even seem to be able to get music from your computer onto the phone. I don't want a load of cheesy RnB crap from the download site!
