lucky

the same happened to me and my friends after a little time i suggest you get a new phone like i did.

lucky

It does that to me to i think the battery is not fuctioning properly i suggest you get a new phone like i did.

lucky

you go onto settings and then security then go onto password or pin and then do change password/pin. and then type in your current one and presss ok and then type your new one.

lucky

It is OK not the best realy but maby i'd reccomend it . I had it for 2 years but even if i charge it to the max it lasts up to 30 seconds and then turns off again for some reason i think mine was broken. its a bit small but easy to use.

Hello!!! I have a vk530 phone... I like it.. But everytime i use or play the motion photo or the motion box, there'll be no sound at all. Is this like this already? Or not? And also the radio part. I really want music. When I saw that my phone has a part for inserting the headphone, I was reaaly happy.. But when i am operating the phone, I noticed that there is no part for the radio to access. so is this the normal one or what??? Please help me.... tnx..

Vk530 looks fine but associated with much problems. Can someone help here? I switched my vk530 on and it askes for pin code. after entering pin code i pressed ok.the mobile switched itself off and shortly on again and asks for the pin code again. The process is continous till amen. But if i change the simcard this problem wont occur. My vk530 accept other simcards other than my own. Surprisingly, if i use this simcard being refused by my mobile elsewhere, it works without problems. My simcard and hanset are both working if seperated but cannot work together.

Surely must be considered the dogs danglies in the mobile phone world , this is the handset that all other phones can surely aspire to become , the color is second to none , the body is fine and no one can ever have a bad word to say about this , exquisite is the best description surely , oh and one last comment on this "dont call me shirley"

Im Onlii 14 But i had this Phone Like a year ago and trust me. Its Crap =P Keeps switching off, rubbish camera quality, suddenly broke one day !, when filming, it has no sound. I suppose now its onlii about �30 now oppose to the !130 i had to spent ! =O so if you just want a basic phone for now its okay tho..

i can't get into my VK. it's just locked itself and i have lost the instruction manual...what should i do? can anyone help??

Dwayne

I bought a pink version of this and it sucks, the battery is useless, the photo's are useless and its easily scratched. Also the games are terrible! The instructions tell you how to play the game but not what your aims are, there is a frog one which i can't even do anything on and there is something thats supposed to be like snake but has failed miserably. However on the plus side it is pretty, the buttons are a good size and you can do a bunch of cool things like make it so that every time u press a button it sounds like a bubble popping. I wouldn't bother buying this phone if it costs you to much money, its just not worth it!

i have one and its very kranky now the camis not working its stupid! its not a phone its rubbish! yahoo messenger ice_salonga friendster [email protected]

I've had this phone, in blue, for 2 years. The battery goes v.quick and all my friends have bluetooth but I don't. I would recommend this phone to someone who likes to talk and txt and not do other tings such as bluetooth.

Christy

I have this fone! Its the pink one :D Its really good but has realllli bad memory! When i go onto my outbox after sendin a message theres a little red circle on the message pic? what does it mean? Christy

JoJes

This phone is great if you are looking for a nice colour - the pink is gorgeous, but if you are looking for anything else, like ringing people up, DON'T GET IT! My VK530 is a year old and all the time that I have had it the screen keeps freezing and randomly changing into 'negation' kind of colours and it also cracks really easily - I've got about three cracks in mine. The wallpapers, ringtones and games are rubbish and there is no bluetooth or internet. There is also no sound on the video recording and no flash on the camera. I paid about �120 for this phone when it came out and it is only worth about �10! Please don't buy this phone unless you want a useless piece of colourful metal!

Anonymous

well i havent got mine even a year and its starting to go wierd on me,i cant receive or send txts anymore and it keeps switching itself off and turning itself to silent!! i hate this phone, its no good, perfect for younger kids maybe but it is of no use to older peoeple!! I need a new phone, i will be going back to Nokia thanks very much!!

Anonymous

I have had a VK530 for 1 year and 9 months and it has always been bad. It has no bluetooth, sound recording, it can't get music or nice backgrounds. In fact, the only ringtones and wallpapers you can use on it are the ones it comes with, and they aren't very good. Who wants the can-can as their ringtone? Or the Queen of Sheba? Or maybe Honky Tonky?! This phone is rubbish. Do not buy it. Avoid it at all costs. And for �130, like it was when it first came out, it is soooooooooo awful. I want a new phone!!!!

My name is Craig, I work at Vodafone. We used to stock this phone and sell it on our network. This is really just a friendly bit of advice in case anyone is still taken back by the pink version especially for a christmas present. We have never had more complaints about a single phone as this one. It could possibly be the worst phone made this century. We no longer sell it and are reluctant to sell any VK mobiles any more. Just a little friendly bit of advice. Enjoy xmas... Craig

this phone is a piece of junk I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this phone. I have had trouble from day one and the manf. won't stand behind this product. there is a recall on this phone and they are supposed to send a replacement but instead they refuse to even answer the phone when i call. trust me if you run across this phone keep running because you will be in for a big headache

Mel

I have had one for 18 months. No problems. Everything works great. I am now upgrading to the VK4000. I dont really bother with ringtones and stuff and just use it for it is....a phone....and for text. I am not really interested in all the other stuff. If I want to take photos i just use my digital camera anyway. enjoys yours.xxx

I'm fine with the phone, but my question is, where do you get a battery for it without having to spend $10 on shipping? My service provider doesn't handle the phone any more and has no batteries for it. They won't replace my phone for me, so I'm stuck with a phone that doesn't work. I'm very frustrated at the moment.

To get rid of keylock hold # and press 0124 with the sim card out then 0124 will unlock the keypad with the sim in tried it today on VK530 and works fine Nokia Phreak

tracey shaw

It cannot send long messages and you can not tell whether it has sent them or not because sometimes after sending the message goes into the 'draft' and the person still receives it rather than it going in the outgoing box. It takes photos by itself calling them 'spy'-It looks nice but does not perform well!

kate

crap every time i go into web it tells me services closed i got it last christmas and have never been able to downloads games or tunes

Linda

Hi I do not have any comment My aunt who lives in London bought me a vk530 phone my problem is when I insert a simcard the phone tells me its a wrong sim card and no network but I can receive incoming calls and massages I can not make calls.

i have had this phone for four months now and up to now it has been ok and has worked well for me. i was a bit narked when i paid �100 for it and then found out that it has no recording dound,rubbish camera and it only holds 3 videos!! apart from what i have mentioned the phone seems ok-although i am holding my breath for any faults!!

Kat

I got a VK530 because it looked nice, and seemed to have eveything i was looking for...but i have to say this phone is really bad. i had to take it back to the vodafone store 5 times before i could get it replaced...every time they said it had been fixed but it usually broke again within the week. it freezes up, the buttons stick, it deletes things,the battery lasts only a day, and wot was really freaky was when it took photos by itself, naming them "spy".!!! i would never buy anymore phones of this make!! read all reviews before you consider buying one!

pippa

VK was the first phone i ever got, at first it looked sooooo good and really stylish. After using it for about a month i found it way boring. No bluetooth, no MP3 player, hardly any memory AT all. This is a useless phone that is unreliable and ugly!!! a five year old could get away with it but not a teenager. in conclusion, this is the most rubbish phone u could eva gt, so DON'T BUY IT!!!! you'll regret it for the REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!

sophi

please,please,please dnt buy this fone!im a real girly-girl so wen i saw this pink fone i fell i love wiv it.im nt exactly a technical person so i bought the fone purely on looks.its sooo crap.the camera is rubbish n fuzzy,it has barely any photo memory,the screen goes funny colours n freezes randomly,it switches itself on n off,messages erase themselves as u write them, u cnt download photos...it has 2 many faults 2 list em all!it may b gorgeous bt thts about the only gud feature!iv put up wiv this fone 4 way 2 long cos it was pretty bt now the screen has completely gone n writing a txt is so not worth the effort!going fone shopping 2mo morning n cant wait 2 c the back of the VK!

Hollie

Okay,i've owned my pink vk530 for a year now,so here is my honest review: Pros- Cute & stylish Menu is easy with rotating pictures Vivid colour screen Many features in "scheduler" Simple to use excellent reception with vodaphone Hardwearing Cons- No bluetooth No Mp3 No realtones GPRS never works No audio recorder Can only record very short videos Memory is full after around 47 pictures & 2 40 second each videos. No sd/memory card slot Pretty rubbish games OVERVIEW:Well if you are looking for a simple stylish phone to shuv in your handbag then this is the phone for you. However,if you want a feature-packed phone to show of to your mates,then look elsewhere. I bought thos phone for 99 pounds,which is cheap considering todays prices,i find it easy to use.However the second day i got it,it simply would not turn on,so,i took it to the vodaphone shop & voila! they just turn it right on...made me look like a liar & a spoon =[ Hey,it's a phone..it dials out ...it recieves & sends texts..& recieves calls..what else do you need?...like i said,if you want modern features look elsewhere. It has been a good phone,which excellent reception..but after a year,i'm ready to upgrade to a phone with more features. If you want to ask any questions,i will answer via e-mail. P.S please do not add me to MSN..thanks [email protected]

this phone should be deleted from the world that is earth it spend half its time freezing and teh other half not working in genral its not even any use as a paper weighjt as its too light if u have one put it in teh bin NOW do it or suffer the wrath of rubbish vk

Yasah

This phone is so cute when you first get it. Then later on it becomes the worst u could ever have it cuts off at times,and I cant get any ringtones. The camera is horrible and personally I think that they should stop making these phones because they are a major waste of money.

michelle

well when i first got this phone i thought to myself it was one of the cutest but it is aload of rubbish it doesnt have bluetooth what kind of a phone that doent have bluetooth in this century when i speak on m phone people can barely hear wat i have to say so i have to shout most of the time it is the worst phone i have ever owned

( if any1 has had this problem nd no's how 2 sort it plz message me!!) do not buy this fone, it myt look great but believe me it aint!!!

Jenny

I recently bought this phone as it was cute, pink and would fit nicely into my handbag. The phone is the worst i have ever bought, the pictures are fuzzy, the camera hardly ever works properly, the video quality is bad and texting is slower as the phone constantly freezes. You cant receive pictures/ringtones/files, there is no point in owning this phone, i cannot wait to get a nice new nokia! Do not waste your money on this piece of c**p, its rubbish!!

helen

nathaphong

please can anyone help my phone keeps switching off everytime i go into inbox is there any way of getting it off and my daughters phone locked the keypad the book said oooo but it will not unlock how can we get this off vodaphone say unless its the sim card they cannot do anything ,,,,pls help

Donna

I purchased it because it was cute. Well I will never do that again, No downloads (ringtones), It drops calls like it's hot. Big, Huge, Mistake. Please do not waste your money.

VK no way

This is the first phone i seriously regretted. While it looked good when I first got it the screen cracked in no time, I kept getting 'spy' photos, the camera used to turn on in my bag without the phone being open, it turns itself off for no reason or says insert sim...and the list goes on into cable connections, text probs and all sorts. I really have learnt that you shouldn't judge on looks alone, they can be deceptive!!!

i bought a vk530 in jan. it was fun at first having a inexpesive camera phone but now i don't like it as much. you can't get new ringtones,you can't send or recieve pictures, and the camera quality isn't all that great. My phone keeps blacking out and the antenna moves. I think its supposed to be stationary. If you want a phone to text and talk on then its great for you, but uf you want a phone that gives you freedom and choice pick another.

nat

omg please dont say anyone still wants to buy this excuse for a fone. its poo andi hate it!!! i am gettin ride of mine at long last as its broke. the camera just stays on load and it says memory full but its not!its chiped for death! its gone really slow! and the sound has gone for some odd reason!!! DO NOT BUY IT!!!

Anonymous

i love this phone, its not high tech or anything just a good girly phone where you can get messages and call ppl etc. . i knew when buying it it wasnt going to be 1 of those phones that do everything! but i would recommend it if you just want a simple nice looking phone!

joy

I've just bought the vk530. Pleased with the look. Texting took some getting used to but its easy now. camera basic. biggest disappointment was that I can't download ringtones and when I tried (not realising) of course I was still charged!!! Still I shan't get rid of it jst yet.

this phone is not even good enough to be an exspensive paper weight. nothing works on these phones not even the mirror

Don't buy it unless you just want an expensive pretty phone. Mine takes great photos - but when I try to e-mail or send them to another phone I get a failed signal EVERY time. It also won't connect to the internet. So all the reasons I bought it for don't work. It's rubbish. 2/10

Laydee Marmalade

This is a very cute phone, it stores a camera and is going now for quite cheap. Its very small and compact which is very good for me as we arent allowed mobiles at school and i hide this phone in my pocket. Very easy to navigate around, the menu is creative and the shortcuts on the keypad make it easier to get to your favourite places (messages, camera, phonebook and sound). The only cons are that there is no sound in the video recorder, it only holds 50 photos and about 60 messages. Ringtones are all rubbish, no music player or bluetooth. Otherwise, this phone is very good I give it an 8/10.

I think this phone is nice its perfect 4 a girl and gd 4 textin a gorjus boyfrend but I think it needs more stuff in it coz it needs sound in the video ps a cant get it off lock sum1 help meeeee

daniella

right ive read all the other comments about this phone, and ive had probably bout the same thing, i aint gonna start boring u with the same thing but its really annoying coz i really need to send picture messages to my m8s and it says sending failed and the network signal is fine. also the camera keeps takin pictures without me taking them, like if its in my pocket it will take a picture automatically and it comes up as spy picture...weird, also its really scary coz it turns on and off, and te battery only last about 1 day if i charge it for 3days or so:( thats all it gotta say, but dnt waste ur money on the phone, its scary!

Anonymous

this phone is basically a rebadged Samsung phone - as such it's about a 5 year old design. The memory capacity is poor, the phone is slow to use and the camera is one of the most unusable ones i've seen on any phone. Worst of all my daughter has gone through three of them due to the phone's poor build quality - the camera stops working, then the sim holder fails and the phone becomes unusable. For the price that this phone costs on a pay-as-you-go scheme, you can get a properly made phone like the Samsung D600 which is infinitely better.

rach

would advise anyone that wants to buy this phone... DONT! i've had it for about a year now and on the first day i loved it but then i realised all its faults. you can only store up to 50 photos, the phone sometimes goes all fuzzy when you take more than 4 or 5 pictures at a time. When you recieve texts sometimes the phone automatically deletes them and sometimes the phone just switches off. If you are reading your messages back to yourself you can read about 4 or 5 and the phone turns off. so yeh, im not a great fan. I'm buying a new phone (the samsung d600) so can't wait to get rid of my VK.

sophie

i like this phone. its cute, it texts it phones, but it won't send pictures:( does anyone know how to sort this please.

Anonymous

I don't have much of a comment about this phone except to say that I was happy with it at first but then after only having it for a month and a half it broke and now I can't get ahold of anyone to fix or replace it. Does anyone out there have a customer service number for the United States that a person can call to find out how to get your phone repaired? I tried emailing the company at their web site but after three weeks I have not heard from them yet.

Anonymous

I was delighted when I first got the Vk530 model. It looks cool, cute, trendy but I have to admit I am very disappointed with it. It is a very slow phone with little memory. It often makes a strange crackle noise when i am speaking on it. I do not mean to moan but we work hard for our cash and should receive a descent phone in return for the money we pay.

hi did somebody get the code for deleting messages i have *#29# which does not work. this mobile is crap gets on my nervs

Just bought a VK about 3 weeks ago and just need a bit of help. Didn't have any trouble with it until just now everytime i go to send a text it fails even when I am trying to delete a message. Could u advise me on what to do? dont understand it. Thanks.

Sonia

heya i have the VK530 and want to download some ringtones my manual book doesn't show how to do it or what type i can download (polyphonic, monophonic etc) could you e-mail me and tell me how to do it. please

Jess

i thought the phone was great when i first got it all small and pink! i loved it then after a few weeks when i read my messages it kept coming up with error and i couldnt read them so i had to turn it off and on all the time! it still does it today. Also the camera is blurry and the video has no sound. the most annoying thing is that it doesnt have bluetooth and u cant get any ringtones for it. I would say this phone would be ok for girl about 9. But i wouldnt recommand this phone to anyone

manager

i would like to remind www.gsmarena.com users that this website is good for helpful reviews, like anna's below. Text message style abbreviations are unacceptable. Thank you.

Anna

Okay, so this phone LOOKS incredibly gorge and cute etc etc, which is why I bought it around Feb 05. This phone looks awesome and is really nice, but when you put it down to practicality, I don't know...it's, urm, not very good. The memory is bad, with only 50 photos, 5 motion shots (app.), 50 text messages. You have to regularly delete past messages and photos you don't like, so you can take more photos, receive more messages etc. The camera shots are not so good, in most lighting, but I've got some really good photos. Sometimes, if you are taking photos for a long length of time (like 15 minutes, -rolls eyes-) they go weird, like all multi-coloured in certain places where the light hits. It's like that for everything after that. You just need to close it for ten seconds. Maybe this is just my phone. But, anyway, the camera overall is pretty good. You just need the right angle and lighting. Also if you are deleting messages for a long period of time (again, 15 minutes, roll of the eyes) for some reason it comes up "fail" if you try to access the messages. You have to turn off the phone, then on again. No idea why. Maybe this is just my phone. The battery lasts around 2 days, which is average, but I wish it would last longer. Also it started to switch off randomly from about the 2nd month. Don't know why. The ringtones are pretty bad, but I really don't care. I don't understand what all of the fuss is about. I've never tried to download music for it. You cannot record anything, which is a big let down. But, again, I don't mind. This phone is okay if you do not care much about memory or music, and just want to chat with your mates. This phone is certainly nothing special, and really quite bad, but you can manage. It's just so annoying sometimes that you want to throw it off the wall and stamp on it until it explodes. -Angelic smile- -cough- yes, anyway...this is an okay phone, in my opinion. But I would recommend you get a different phone. PS: I have the lilac one. PPS: I'm 13. I was 12 when I got it.

kashanda williams

at firsti was really happy to get this phon b/c it looked very cute but this phone really sucks alot. you can't even download. this is a very lame phone. i hate i spent my money. how are you going to invent a new flip camera phone that can't get ring tones and the 9button always get stuck

Sophie n Hazel

After owning the VK530 for several hours, I have so far not found any problems. It has a good colour screen, slender, sleek build, fun and interesting ringtones, attractive colours and so cute! I know what your thinking, it wont go wrong in a day but nothing has gone wrong and I love it! It has animations for texts, great camera and good video (although with out sound.) There are many great features about it, and my advice is you won't know for certain about ANY phone until you try it! I was suprised at the lack of good reveiws about this phone and all I can say is DON'T ALWAYS FOLLOW REVEIW RESULTS! It is so great I am dead chuffed with it!!! This phone stands out, and you will definately be centre of attention when clutching it in your palm. FOLLOW YOUR HEART!!!

lucy

yada this phone does suck. i got it for my bday last year in april and after a couple of weeks the camra went green and kept freezing and going blurry, then it didnt work at all. also as i went into my recived text the phone just turns off, terrible phone. great on the out side crap on the inside.

I got the VK530 for my birthday. Although it wasnt my 1st choice phone at the start I liked it. It is a very stylish and simple phone. But during the months i found out that 1) you cannot get ringtones unlessa pc cable or somthing 2) very small memory on pictures mine can hold 3 videos and 24 pictures 3)no sound on videos 4)no speakerphone, caller id . This phone is perfect for a girl aged 9-11 whos just starting out on mobiles

Julia

Have VK530 - keypad has locked and will not unlock with 0000 - any ideas?

aww i love my phone, yes it may not be the best of phones but hey it sends texts, you can ring people and its cute what more could you want. though i did only buy it because its pink!!

Kat

I hate this dang phone. Besides who wrote the manual? Hello!!! I am a blonde here. Dummy terms please. Why can't I download any ringtones either? No wonder the phone was free.

sarah

We just got our new VK530 phones a few months ago. This is the worst phone I've ever had. Every time I go to use it, it says emergency only. everyone else that I know with this same phone says theirs says the same thing. does anyone else on here have the same problem?

is there no other way to get ringtones for this phone besides the cable thing

I think this phone is brill

me

I wouldnt really reccomend this phone.It hasnt got many features and a very poor battery life. However I would recomend it to girls aged around 10 or 11,it is a brilliant idea for a first phone. It can store about 35 photos and 2 or 3 motion shots (very short video clips with no sound) i wouldnt say this is very good because when i take a photo it says memory full even when i delete some.The motion shot quality is quite bad too and has no sound.I wouldnt reccomend it because you could get a much better phone at a cheaper price.

Dont Buy It. I've had this phone 5 months and had nothing but problems from day 1. I took it back to the shop 3times in the 1st 2weeks because it kept turning itself off. This problem still happens, it needs to be charged every day even though I never use the camera and only use it for a few text's a week (use e-mail). My friends are always saying they cant get in touch with me and I never reply to the voice messages they leave but this is because I Never Get Them! And every few weeks at 3.33AM I get a text saying I have a voice message but when i go to the answer service no message? Dont Buy This Phone it interfers with your sleep!

Anonymous

I do think that it sucks not to have those features but I checked out a few things I am not sure if it works or not but in the manual it says that we need a pc sync which is a cable cord that connects from your phone to any computer and it transfers ringtones and pictures. I looked it up and I found one website which is about 25.00 for the data cables and data suite its called foneshop.com or just type in vk530 pc sync.

Miss walker

I think you all should give everybody with Vk 530 phones a new phone. Like they say the customer is always right. I overlooked the vk mobile phones and they are nice but make sure they are up to quality.

Miss Walker

I was so eager to get this phone but when i got it later i found out that there were no ringtones, no car charges, no earpieces, no speakerphone (which is really dangerous when driving), can't set pictures as wallpaper or caller id for individuals. I was quite pissed off about this phone. I hope in the future you all get it together because customers expect the best quality of this phones.

This phone sucks! Why would you send out a phone that is new and you have not yet programmed it to take downloads, send pic tex, and download ringtones? They could have kept it until it was completely finish. This phone gets on my nerve. Now Im stuck with a phone that it worthless. Pluse I have to finish up to 21 months to upgrade my phone. The company should do something to assure their customers. This is not good business!

I have just purchased the VK530, but does anyone know what the little microphone next to the antennae is used for? Is it for Mp3? Has there got voice recorder? Or any accesories?

Amy

We live in the states and both my husband and I purchased a VK530 at the end of October when it was first released over here. At first we had no problems. Then my husbands started turning off by itself, it was almost impossible for him to make or receive a call - the phone would just power down. We took it to our service provider and they replaced it with a new one. Now he has no problems but then mine went wacky. I couldn't connect to a incoming phone call, my reception went to nil and couldn't make a phone call half the time. The provider said it was service problems but it was checked out by the company and they said it was a phone problem. So they replaced mine and with the new phone, I couldn't get into my voicemail for a week. Phone would not work on any automated voice menu. Seriously ticked at this point and ready to run it over with my car, I called back our provider and we cannot get out of this phone. We even offered to pay the difference between this phone and a new one. We can't, under contract. Really wishing we hadn't picked this phone.

I can send pics, the battery lasts about 3 hours and i tried buying a pcsync cable to connect to my laptop but that doesn't work.

Useless phone, dont waste your money just for the look. I have never been able to send pictures, my screen has gone wrong twice in 6 mths. I bought it because it was a pretty looking phone, but boy what a waste of money!!! ps. the lead to the pc is 25pds!!! i havent bothered getting one. Gill

moon

So many problems with this stupid phone! I'm ready to throw it against the wall! Whenever I try to delete a message it says "Fail", and doesn't delete. Same when I try to delete a photo or video. Whenever I try to send a txt, it says "Fail." and doesn't send! People txt me, but I NEVER receive any txts! What a rubbish phone. Don't buy it. I made the mistake of buying it for the colour, but it's absolutely terrible and faulty!!

heya!!!!! got vk530 for x-mass after hearing they were great but boy was i wrong!!! the volume for the text messages are really low even at 100% anyone know how to turn it up? and my sim keeps falling out!!! how do i use one of my own rigtones the phone ones are gammy! please write back !!!!!!! thamks............

angry black guy

i know the terms for the opinion were no foul language but the way the vk 530's performace is there is a need for foul language. this phone sucks and needs to be recalled or sent back to where it came from. those huge phones that they had in the eighties are probably better than these.

Mr .Glenn

this phone is indeed crappy i cant even download ringtones or get a signal anywhere the camera also sucks too. you people need to stop selling these peices of crap

Mark

Hi, Can someone please confirm if the dimensions posted about this phone includes the antenna? On the website it says 76 x 44 x 23, does the 76 include the antenna? Many Thanks

How can you send a text from this crappy phone without having to go to the phone book, remember the number n go back again? wen u want to send, it says input number, how are you supposed to remember everyone's numbers? can you not select one from the address book? ta.

emma

this phone is pants! was really good at first and within a month it starts going wrong. ive had it 6months sadly as i hadn't been able to get a new phone (getting new one this week) but i have suffered! cam doesn't work at all, turns itself off, sound has gone, buttons don't work and vibrate goes off randomly. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE! my mate has just got the upgraded one 750 or something and within 2 weeks hers is neary as bad as mine! rubbish, can't wait to get rid of it

Lauren

Ok I have had my phone for..3 months maybe. And I can't find any way to get ringtones on it. Because this phone isn't ever shown as a mobile device. What do I do. Someone help me.

abz

Hiy...I got the phone for xmas 2005. I was really happy with it and i loved it. But when i sent texts i could only write in capital letters. When i rung people they couldnt hear me and i could hear them! It didnt say in the instruction booklet how to check your credit. And i couldnt send picture messages. Also i couldnt get a picture on my external display!!! If you want a cute pink phone get this one but if you want one that works get something else!!!

Amy

I only had the VK530 for a few days as I couldn't cope with it for long. It kept saying Fail when i sent messages even when there is full reception, the recipitents would always get my messages about 8 times when I only sent it once (i've never had this happen before), some people didn't even receive my messages when they were confirmed as sent (I never got the reports, when i know i should have done, so i had to keep sending them until i did which was taking my money!). The phone would go really slow whilst writing a text & when on the phone it keeps cutting out now & again because it doesn't hold a good signal. Very disappointed as I thought this was a really cute phone!

toni

beth has this an the keypad dont work and it crashes and the camera is rubbish and the video is alright and you can only hold 5 videos or around 16 pics so there! Mine is propa better

paige

ive had the fone for 3 weeks now in the 1st week it put a code in its self so i had to hav it fixed and now it wont let me txt or recieve txts or do nothing with it. it wont let people ring me but lets me ring them 2wice and then i hav to take out mi battery so i can ring more people. it is apsolute rubbish. do not get it. it is the worst phone ever.

claire o'sullivan

Im a vk530 owner for about 3 months and i think that there a good phone and has good reception. If I had the chance to change one thing on the phone it would be the camara because even thow it does the jod the pictures are sort of blurr. I was told by a friend that the pink and siver phone is supossed to suport cancer . So if you could email me on [email protected] and just let me no if its true or not.

Does anyone know how to clear a jammed inbox, when I go to read a new message the whole phone switches off. I have read a few reviews that suggest typing in the code *#27# holding down the last # until it says wait but my phone never says wait and I still have a jammed inbox. I live in Zimbabwe so am unable to take my phone into a Vodafone shop for help.

i got my phone xmas eve...i love it...but i thought everything was okay but then my friends told me today they were texting me over christams and ringing me and some of the texts i am not getting and sometimes they ring me and it goes straight to message minder....same problem as everyone else about downloading ringtones . i had the same brand of phone for the past 6 years and i never had problems with it..im starting to worry about this phone...and yes my battery is going after about a day....

Anonymous

I have had several different phones and I must say that this one has got to be the worst phone I have ever had.I am on my third phone like this and thats only because my insurance doesn't cover a different type phone. It keeps freezing and when I go to review my call list it shuts off and restarts. I don't even want to talk about not being able to have access to the different ringtones, that's just ridiculous. If I'd known that this was such a poor phone I would have never chose it.

tiffany

i got one the other day but i cant get delivery reports , i havr set them up on phone but nothing anyone know how?

i dunt know wats rong with my fone. when i recieve mi messeges i cant open them becos when i try to open them the fone just turns off itself and turns itself back on. plz help i duno wats rong wif it.

Claire

Can anyone email me the mms configuration settings i cant send picture messages grrrrr. Thanks!!

Paul Johnson

charge your phone for atleast 8 hours for first three charges regardless of whether it says the battery is full or not, the battery is made up of a number different cells and to make sure these are all active needs a long charge. If only half the cells are active you will only get half the life span

Amber

okay well where can i find a cover for my phone?

Amber

Okay I got a VK530 but the thing is I can't find any ringtones for it... So can somebody please help me find some ringtones please... thanks

Orla

I got the VK530 in pink for Xmas.When i first charged it,instead of taking a day,it took bout 2hrs an' now d battery goes really quick!I can't have the alarm set unless the fone is on,or else it jst never goes off!!I've been l8 so many mornings!Can't send picture msgs.Just the other day i've been txtin an' it suddenly just starts typing random words on it's own an' even deletes the whole msg!V annoying!!I wold like to know do they have a website for the settings to set up WAP and MMS?I wouldn't have bought htis phone,only it's pink.I'll try bring it back cos it's shite

christie

i think the vk530 is good good quality but as long as it looks good and you can send messages and call ppl its fine

Claire

Ok so ive just purchased one from vodafone website thats been reconditioned so hopefully the faults other people have had should have been rectified but im worried after reading some of these comments :-/

Kitty

I got mine for xmas. It's alright, it works and everything and I love the colour and size but the picture quality is pretty rubbish and the video clips have no sound. I can't seem to download any ringtones and the signal is really bad. I'd give it a 5/10.

Hana

Right, well, I'm thinking of getting the Pink VK530, but now that I've read all these comments I don't know WHAT to think! It seems VERY stylish and cute, but, of course, I don't want it to be faulty! Can I please have an exetremely clear, fair comment on this phone? Some of you, plus a friend have said this phone is fine, whereas some of you disagree strongly. Therefore, I'm wondering if it may just be bad luck or ignorance of a certain instruction that has caused so many of you to hate this phone! A lot of you are angry about the same thing, so it must be just a problem with a hidden solution that can be discovered if you ALL were to go to the shop you bought it from. But, anyway, I'm here to SEEK advice, not to hand it out! So, PLEASE, e-mail me DIRECTLY giving out handy specifications: [email protected]

vicki

ok so mine was bril 4 a while then the piccy mesages wudnt go that was like sept it nw wrks i found out the other day. i had it in july so round about a month ago me camera stopped wrkin all it seys iz standby neva goes 2 nefin else, then me screen starts goin all funny colours, then me screen flips upside dwn n bck 2 front then me buttons dnt wrk so after banging it on the wall for a while n turning it off n on it nw wrks but has 2 stay open or it brakes so am nt very pleased wiv it xxx

Camilla

Oh My gosh.... Just yesterday did i recieve this phone and... i no what you are expecting....your expecting that its rubbish or the battery is rubbish...but no way This phone is so good...i mean yeah the battery isnt absolute brilliant but thats cos its new...they need bout 3 charges then its gr8....i think all u people are just overacting....or maybe its just where you bouught it...! Its pink, small, smart, coulorful and just overall a gr8 mobile....yes the recorder doesnt have sound...but most phones dont evn have recorder! I think your expcting too much! Get it ... its gr8 for any gal on the go!

ive had this phone a while now and absoloutely nothing has gone rong with it my camera is fine and the video recording is perfect. i can do everything on it - sending texts picture messagin...phone calls everything..but so far nothing has gone rong n im pleased with it.

Chloe

ive had this phone for a year now and it has been pretty good but ive had problems with it ever since ive had it, i cant recieve or send pictures as ive had to go on the internet and view them, ive never been able to connect to the internet and the camera has got wierd markings on it. i did have a problem with viewing my messages as my phone would turn off so i went to a vodafone store and they sorted it out so if that happens just go to the place you brought it from and hopefully they will sort it out for you. the battery does start to run out quicker by time, my battery lasts for about 2 days but when i first it lasted for about 2 weeks! lol. so beware the battery!! xxx

Anonymous

o and it dont have a video it has a motion shot which is rubbish as it lasts for ten secs but then when you replay it it speeds up i cant really explain it but yer!lol!just dont get this phone thats all i can say as its rubbish and its not a very good make and everyone i know whos got the phone has had faults wiv it!its rubbbish basically!

its a god phone for about a year but then it starts to go faulty or just start to get bored of it the battery life is ok for me and it seams quite long the camera quality is ok i think its not the best quality but its ok and you can tell what the piccy is i think its a good phone for a little girls first mobile phone as its cute in pink(which i have)and the price now (80quid)is the right amount for the phone but when i brought it it was 130 and i wish i hadnt got it now as their are alot more better phones for that price

Jennifer

I am really disappointed in this phone. I just got it not even 2 months ago, and already I regret purchasing it. The sound clarity is awful; Even at its loudest, voices are muffled. It also vibrates uncontrollably when messages are sent. Even if you check and delete voice messages, they are still found until you delete them individually on the phone itself. But I do like the convenient size and style.

Loz xxx

i have just bought this phone for christmas and i have looked at it already and everyhting u people are saying is rubbish!!! It DOES recieve and send picture msgs coz d 1st tyme i lookd at it i tried!! So thts Crap!!! Every1 hu wnts dis fone buy it!!! Its well gd!!

Linda Mckinnon

Bought the phone just over a month ago and have had endless problems with it and things seem to be getting worse!! It was costing me a fortune in vodafone top ups so got it unblocked to go back to using 02, So I thought maybe that was what was causing all the problems, however after reading that everyone else has been having the same problems I realise its just a faulty phone! I cannot send pics and have received a few from friends but its saying connecting and then fail and I cannot delete them so its constantly showing I have messages!! Do I have to put this in for repair or can anyone tell me how to open them? My friends also keep receiving txts from me saying incomplete txt so I cannot send messages more than a page long! My messages also go straight into drafts and doesn't go into outbox making you think they haven't been sent, the screen colors faded, it cuts off saying no network coverage even altho its been fine, slow typing in texts, deletes text and vibrates randomly making you think you have received texts - I would advise anyone not to buy this!

ani

i cant get a pic that i have taken on the small outside screen can ne1 tell me how to do it?

Hey! I got my vk530 in January this year on contract...i am now on my 4th handset! the first one broke just few weeks after i got it - i couldnt get into my inbox! the second one wouldnt let me call out or receive phonecalls or open my messages. the third one's camera broke just last week, so i phoned up vodafone on monday night and they said they'd replace it again, so they sent me a new on yesterday, and after telling me to keep my previous battery, they proceeded to send me a LILAC body....so i now have a lilac body with a pink battery! and to put the icing on the top, it is broken already! just hours after getting it, the camera is broken and i cannot open messages, or write them! to anyone who is even considering getting this phon DON'T!! It is a waste of time and a peice of RUBBISH!

Rubbish Battery life, mediocre camera. Apart from that the phone is just ok. I wouldn't buy another one nor would I recommend this phone to a friend.

Its that classy that ive gave it a name, its called lily!!! eveyone buy it!!! p.s- i think most of u lot r exzagurating a bit, give it a rest all ur posts r boring n identical. luv Colette

Aisling

i got the phone yesterday and i think its great. when ur writin a msg n u wana write in small(note stef), if u jus press thebutton dat has a pic of a phone n eZi on it, it changes the font!

Paul9

Stef, use the eZi button. Nicola, the Samsung USB lead from my D600 works and charges the phone from a PC, but Windows XP did not recognise the phone using Samsung software. I cannot find software for it yet, but if I can, then I am pretty sure this will work with the Samsung lead.

nicola

this is a very sexy phone still and is very small. AND ITS PINK woohoo

nicola

i love the way this phone looks, its small and has a camera. i does not have blutooth and you cannot get ringtones or send pictures but i think there is a lead you can attach to the phone and you PC. does anyone else no anything about it? i got this phone last xmas when it was the FIRST and only pink phone, now loads of companys have stolen the idea!

stef

hey!i fink da fones soo cute!but c in the messages part??ya kno the way that its capitals??well can u write the message in small letters WITHOUT having to use T9???(thats when you type in letters and the phone makes up a word 4 u!) (its SOOO ANNOYING!!!!)so plz do any of you know how 2 solve the problem???wb asap

Roisin

i have this phone a little while now and its going great so far (touch wood!). Was just wondering though if anybody knows how you set a picture message that you have received from someone else as your wallpaper? Thanks!

i got the crappy pink vk530 in january thought it was a cool phone to start but had nothing but grief from it since. I can finally get an upgrade now so good riddance to you vk

Maria K

I have a VK530 that does not ring with the clam shell shut! Phone was gift, so no paperwork, VK manufacturers will not help and neither will Vodaphone. Phone is useless. Never again. What do I do now?

tai

I just got this phone a few days ago and overall I think it is a great phone for what I paid for it. I don't mind that the videos dont have sound thats not what I bought it for. If I wanted that I would invest in a camcorder. The only thing I dont like about the phone is that I can't download ringtones. I did have a few problems at first, it would'nt keep the time or date. It kept switching back to military time after I set it for regular time. I just put it back to the factory set and started over. Its working properly now.

Anonymous

this phone is okay not amazing though. the video clips dont have sound and mine doesnt send or recieve mms pics but my main prob is that it never tells me my battery is running low til about 10mins before it runs out. but if u just want a basic phone for calls and texts then its great

rikki

i have this phone for about 6 weeks. the only thing its got going for it is the colour of it. this phone is USELESS. As soon as i have enough saved i will be purchasing a new phone

my friend has this phone in pink and it looks really good apart from the videos should have sound!!!

laina

Ive just brought this phone and it wicked except the camera wont work, im taking it back tomorrow to get that sorted but other than that its wicked a must buy!!!!!!!!!

Suz

Hi i have just recently got VK530 and still not sure about it at the moment. Think certain things are great but others are just really annoying such as battery life, they need charging up all the time,urgh!!! Overall though, i like it, it's pink and got a mirror what more can you ask for, hehe!!!

Eva

When i 1st got my phone i was initially unsure on whether it was a good idea as VK isnt well known. But im glad i took a chance on it, ive had no problems in the 6months ive had it, the mirror is a cool feature and the colour and size catches ppls attention. It is a basic phone and doesnt have all the new technology around at the mo but its a good little phone and does what its supposed to do. As for battery i find that its good 4 me, usually lasts me 3-4 days depending on how much i use it. NEways those of u sitting on the fence with this phone, hope iv cancelled some of the negative comments on this site. Its a cool little phone!

sarah

i have had a vk phone for 10 months and i have had to bring it back twice i would never advise anyone to get because it just looks pretty. at first i thought it was great but now i have relaised it is the worst.

samantha

hi i have just had a vk530 and wen i plug the charger in it dosent do anything could some1 plz tell me if a symbol is supposed 2 cum on it tell me its charging

fuzz

just got this phone after a sony ericsson, and still cannot open picture messages.keep getting told the settings are all correct and working.. so why oh why, cant i open them then>?? taking it back and would not recommend to anyone.. cute, but not hot

HOLLY

an awfull phone to have i have had the phone for 6months now and not once have i been able to send or recieve picture messages it is so frustrating after spending �100.00 on a small mobile for it not to work, i will certainly not reccomend anyone to purchase the phone "at-all" i have spoken to vodafone about the problem and they have not been able to resolve it and have sad that its a manufactors problem and i have also spoken to vk!!

Sofia

I bought it, and love it! I'll answer a few question for everyone, anymnore don't hesitate to ask! 1. I don't think it does record sound. It does record short motion videos, but without sound. It's better than nothing though. 2. If you are having trouble with MMS messages or the internet, ring up Vodafone, and they'll sort it for you. 3. The camera is a bit unclear at first, but if you just leave it for a few seconds, the quality is amazing! 4. It might look a bit cheap in photos, but it looks GORGEOUS when you actually have it! Believe me, I know. 5. It doesn't really do much, it's just meant to look sexy - but it has everything I'll need, so I don't mind. I hope this small review was helpful to you! xxx

Kelz

i really want this fone sooooo much but after reading all the bad things about it im not so sure if i want it and i REALLY wanna know if you can record sounds on it!!!

lisa

I absolutely love the phone but how does the biorythm work with your mentrual cycle? I was told it helped calculate your fertility can't can't see how? Can anyone help?

Sal

Nice lightweight phone but can't seem to get it to connect ever!!!

blank

same thing as all the others, I went to phone company , this is the current promo buy one get one free. IT DOSENT EVEN HAVE where you can send pics yet! why did they even put this phone out? and you cant download any ringtones either~!

Kerri Walton

Hi, i saw this phone in ARGOS and ever since then i have wanted one...i have found one on ebay today, but seeing all your comments i dont think i will get one after all. I just thought it looked cool cos it was pink but i dont think it is as good as i thought.

lucy

i got this fone and took it back after a week because i thought it picture messaging but it cant recive pics, the battery is rubbish,the camrea is rubbish. this is a sure bimbo fone with no brain!

Cath

I bought this phone pretty much because it was pink and so cute! However after 2 months I have now had to get a new phone due the fact that this one cannot recieve picture messages and many of my texts are not recieved by others despite the fact that my phone was telling me yes.This was due to the phone and not the network as I had the messages traced. Think twice, there are better pink phones out there.

Amy

This phone is wicked i love it! its so small and its pink! i do wish it had bluetooth but i love it anyway. i think it is really easy to work. one of the best phones i have had!

ems

BUY IT U NO U WANT 2!! GO ON!!! BUY IT..........

Ellie

I have the pink version of this phone and i LOVE it!!! All my Friends love it too and i have started a trend in my school, everyones getting one. Its so light, and its small and it is so easy to carry around. ITS THE PERFECT PHONE FOR ME!!! I have trouble connecting to the internet but i dont really want to connect as it wastes so much money. Its a perfect girlie phone! Love Ellie, age 12 x

amanda

I hate this phone!!!! I have the same problems - it switches off when it fancies, the battery life is so poor I can't take it away at weekends, it also stops receiving calls intermittently too. Got the phone from Vodafone who have been quite unhelpful, blaming my sim card for the switch off thing?? AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!!!!

Sofia

I have this phone, and I bought is despite all the bad reviews. I was a little bit nervous, but it's REALLY GOOD! I love it so much, the camera is actually pretty good, and the ringtones are amazing! The only problem I've had is that I can't send multimedia messages, but then again I had trouble with the internet too, but it works now, so I'm sure it will be okay soon. I love this phone, it's the ultimate girl accessory! It's so light, it's pink, and I love the animated backgrounds that comes with it, and I could play the games all day! Love Sofia, 13 years old xxx

Sondie

I work for a cell phone provider that just started carrying this phone. We have only had it for a couple of days and playing around with it it seems like a pretty cool little phone...but after reading all of the negative posts....im having moto v180 and v220 flashbacks. sounds like it has the same software issues as the Motorolas. eeek!!! I refuse to sell either Moto to any customer....i so hope this one isnt as bad!!!

Kezzy

chuiha

Weryl

I bought this phone for my daughter for her Birthday and she is thrilled with it. We have the cable and the disk with the info on it, and we have downloaded the phone book so it all works, we just can�t get pictures on to the computer. If Anyone knows how to do it, please email me at [email protected]

Gemma

kym

I got one and at first it wos great but after a while i had loadsa problems with it for example my screen cracked, the front screen remained blue even after i turned it off, the camera broke and I had it repaired twice and its still broken and now its completely broken because I cant even turn it on!!!!

jess

this phone is too much hassle to be dealing with i've had so many problems first my screan went blanck after 2 days, it wouldn't let me ring any one and now i have that message thing it turns itself off wen i read a message and it says my inbox is full! if anyone is interested in buying this phone i advise them not to! jessXX

K

This phone is truly useless...Ok It looks Very pretty from the outside I'll Give You That But BEWARE!! Its all an illusion, at first it turned off whenever i entered my message bank so back to vodafone it went then after TWO weeks it came back for a few days it was on its best behaviour then the screen just stopped working grrrrr.. back to vodaphone and after more waiting i got it back to see the problem still occurs .. no prizes for guessing where im going tomorrow?! I shall be purchasing a Motorola v3 instead

Kelly

I bought recieved a lilac VK mobile for my birthday, not longs ago, which as i was to discover was an unfortunate choice, as every time i'd enter my inbox my phone completely shut off! I've had it replaced 3 times as i could not manage to get a refund even after just 1 and a half weeks of owning it! My advice, they are a total waste of effort!

lucy

i got the pink version of this phone and it was a big mistake! mine keeps cutting out everytime i go onto inbox!!

Clements

My daughter had the vk530 for her birthday in may, now on her 3rd phone still can`t receive mms. Please help a frustrated dad from getting txt after txt. can you send another pic dad please.

teresa

I also have the pink VK530 and am now on my 3rd since May. The first would not hold its charge for more than 24 hours but the shop refused to just change the battery and as they had no more in stock I got my money back, the 2nd(I know, why did I buy another the same!!!) would not send or receive mms and now the 3rd(got last Sunday will send but not receive). I feel as if I have my own personal assistant at the vodaphone shop, he is completely lost and like me feels like chucking the phone. After reading all the above comments I`m taking it back asap!!!

Aimee

No its ok now because i realised that tyhe phone wasnt on afterall i just forgot to charge it!!! Sorry phone!! LOLOL!!

Kelsey

I'm a triplet, and I got the pink one. My other sisters got the blue and the purple. We think this phone rocks! It's got a camera (it's not terribly good, but we bought a PHONE not a CAMERA). My phone hasn't creaked or freezed at all! It's super! I love it. I recommend this phone to anyone! It's GREAT. I love it. I'd had a Nokia phone before, and now everyone always stops to compliment me on what a pretty phone it is.

Aimee

i has the phone without the camera and it is rubbish and i can't fix it the screen broke after 4months of havin it it just blanked out and i was always very careful with it!

amiee

ive just brought the vk530 in lush pink, ive wanted it since it came out so far no problems, but reading all the other posts and seeing all the posts about how "poop" it is im worryed if ive made a bad choice? i think im going to put it on a weeks trial! as i am uptown wed so if its crud il take it back

mhairi

bought this phone in feb this year, and have had nothing but problems with it since. the phone will not keep a charge and runs out in less than 24 hrs. took it back to vodafone and they have twice replaced the battery, with no effect on the time it keeps its charge. my phone is now away for repair, was told by vodafone it would be back in 7 days, i'm still waiting 17 days later as they have sent back a different colour. vodafone dont want to know your problems. my advice.... steer clear of this phone.

claire

Claire Hailstone

This was the first phone I'd ever chosen on a contract and caused me nothing but a headache. It switches off as it chooses, can't open messages and has left me stranded with my daughter as it wouldn't turn on.

charlie

i have the pink vk530 and i loved showing it off as it was pink and cute but all it caused me was hassle it swited on &off when it like and froze all the time i was very disapointed so i returened it for a full refund ;o{ very unhappy!!!!!!!!!

Emily

Hello Everybody, i got this fone for my b'day from my mum and i love it so much but i cannot recieve photo messages, it just says connecting then FAIL. Help me! I have had to charge it a few times aswell and i have only had it since Wednesday and i don't really no what to do. Please help. thx. Emily x

amy

i found the phone very disapointing. it looks nice from the outside but it doesnt work very well. it turns itself off all the time and if i try to read my messages it restarts itself. Also, its hard to get a good signal and only sends the first part of a message if its more than one txt long. I know of other people who have the same phone and have the same problems also. one good thing is the camera is ok and the video function works fine for me.:)

lisanne

they are fantasitic the bestest phone i have ever had and i'm of the older generation lets say you can't beat em!!!wicked!!!

My VK530 has very bad signal all the time and when you press the OK button switches its seif off. I ta slo keeps saying sos and i cant read my messages wwhen they come through as it turns itself of. I though it would of been better than that i may look cute from the outside but inside theres nothink to it i was really dissapointed. Vodafone itself have been terrible they dont want to know and if you try to take it back they dont let you. You cant download things it doesnt let you and you cant have vibrate and ring at the same time which is a bit crap. The camera is crap to its very blurred and not clear at all. Sorry to salg it off so much but i think this phone belongs i the bin

Diamond

The baby blush pink one is a really nicely presented phone, lovley and mini, small enough to pop in your handbag. The design is nice but it would have been better all pink as the silver doesnt look so good. A camera phone with a few settings, the picture quality isnt all that great as it comes out a bit fuzzy. The ease of downloading is bad as it is too much hard work to download tunes. A nice looker of a phone but not much inside, if you see what i mean....

judith

i really like my phone and nothing bad has happend yet but does anyone know how to save photos as your external display HELP me i realy want to chang the out side picture

sandra atkins

could anyone help me, can you download ringtones on the vk530

PAULYNN

to take a picture close your phone front facing you hold the volume bottom button for 5 seconds your image will come on screen take photo by pushing bottom of the volume button

Sophie

I received this phone for my birthday in may. i am pleased with the phone, it looks great and the miror is cool. But it does have many down sides. Firstly, my phone will not let you send picture messages. Secondly it only holds about 45 pics. And finally once youve taken 40 pics to be able to take any more you have to purchase the data cable, which is more expense. I recently ordered my cable for the phone, but when it came it was faulty. In total i was sent 3 faulty cables, so i am still without a cable. Not a happy peep! (i brought the faulty cable from the company mobile fun- a company i would nbever order anything from again)

carrie

i have a pink vk530 and have had no probolems, i can send messages and picture messages and recive them too, but my friend had 1 and like most of you, it kept switching off and the screen cracked, but mine is fine!!!!!!! it is up to my expected standered!!!!!! from carrie, x x x p.s i dont know how to sort any probolems out, sorry!

carrie

the vk530 can send photo messages, if you go onto camera, then photo mail then click either a saved photo or make a new one then, you can send a photo

Anonymous

Why external display is allways off? Should it be like this?

del

michelle

I have recently purchased a VK530 and i am absolutely thrilled to bits with it so far. I love anything pink so it suits me down to the ground. I also love the fact that it is tiny and fits in my handbag perfectly. The games are great too. It has lots of features that most mobiles dont have. Nice! 10 out of 10.

Egle

HELP!!! Should external display be on allways? Why is it on only together with stand by display?

Diane

the phones not 2 bad find it hard 2 use sometimes cant snd or receive picture msgs the ringtones are rubbish wishing i had bought a different mobile!

keashoes

the green bell on the screen means it's in normal mode. if you press and hold down the bottom left key it changes it to vibrate and do the same to return it to normal mode. This really annoyed me too as no where in the book does it tell you what this symbol does. I'm having problems with messages. Whenever i go to write a new message it is always in abc text and i can't get it to default to predictive. does anyone know how! please help - appart from that i love the phone.

allison hunter

Same problems as everyone else, phone switches itself off,cant send or recieve picture messages, when writing texts it often deletes words as you write them, miss having bluetooth and infra-red. If the phone worked as good as it looks i would be happy and not as disapointed as i am,on return to the shop i was told it is problems with phones specifications and nothing can be done.

Lisa

I have the VK530 since February and really like it but I am a bit disappointed that ringtones do not seem to available for them, If anyone knows that they are please can you let me know! Thanx!

Rachael

ive just got this fone and so far am impressed! Jus 1 thing..... does any1 know y the green bell is on the main screen and how to get rid of it?? Thnx!

louise

hiya im thinking about getting the vk 530 after hearing so many bad points about i dont know if i should bother now. any body got any good points if so i would be grateful if somebody emailed them to me thanks x

Harriet

I got the vk530 in January and it has been ok just had to take it back once cos it was playing up and it does do odd things now and then. My sister has the same phone and has had no end of problems with it - she has had it replaced 4 times!! problem is we are both stuck in a contract with it for a year. Be nice to have some decent ringtones too... next time i wont just be going for looks when i buy a phone!

charlie clarke

I bought the vk530 in april and now it keeps going fuzzy, turning itself off and the battery dies every day when it is fully charged - should have stuck to nokias!

bkphoneproblem

I got my VK530 in december and I have never had a single problem with it since then, but then in july the phone would not let me access my inbox when I had a new message.Also when I switch on the screen is all fussy. so I took it back to the shop and they said i have got it wet when I had never taken the phone near water. Has anyone else had the same experience and what did you do?

brunnette

hi i just got a vk530 an i cant seem to find any ringtones compatible with my phone

seema

hey, i've got the vk530 and I thought it was great till recently.. I've had to take it back to the vodafone shop like three times because of the problems I have been having with it. Everything you guys have mentioned has happened to me at the mo I cant send/receive picture messages which is a bit annoying. Vodafone customer services, told me to go to the shop the shop checked my phone n sim n told me to ring 191 isn't that ridiculous?

georgia

i have just got the vk530 and i think it is the best phone eva it works all the time and the camera is gr8 i dont see y most people r complaining lol

holly

this phone is absolute rubbish ive had it since january and it has caused nothing but trouble, it switches off when people ring me it switches off when i TRY to read messages and when it switches back on the main screen looks terrible!!i cant use the internet and i cant send or recieve pictures!! this phone is terrible

j

well...it is a waste of money. i have had the phone since december and the only advantage of it as that it is pink and has a mirror. it wont let me on the internet, whenever i am reading msgs it switches off then on, when i turn it on the screen turns up all fuzzy, the camera sometimes makes pictures purpley and blue, it doesnt let me put other sim cards in it, the ringtones are rubbish..thats all i can think of just now but there are more. x

Natasha

cud somebody plz tell me what to do if you cant get into your messages to read or delete! the fone turns itsself off whenever i try. does this sound familier to anybody where do i get it fixed plz help!!

Tracey

kitty

u shud't of brought it

Ian

Why don't you retards just read your manual? There's a download for the manual on this page and the manual I got with my fone is very well written - better than a load of other fones I've had. The predictive text is a bit of a pain, but then again I had a Nokia and its very hard to live up to their spec. I bought it for the size, to replace a lost panasonic, and it does everything I want including make calls. I've had no problems with it. Battery life isn't stunning but I get 3-4 days of standby. THAT'S WHY THEY CAN GET THE FONE SO SMALL. So use your brain. Read up before you buy. Sounds like too many of you have second hand and are complaining. If you bought new and had problems straight away then you shoud go straight back to your retailer - THAT'S WHO YOU HAVE THE PURCAHSE CONTRACT WITH. Duh.

i recently bought the pink vk and initially loved it. i had 2 send it off 2 be unlocked which was a bit of a pain but then i didnt have 2 change my num etc. so far it hasnt been 2 bad, camera is good n has pretty backgrounds etc but it has some really annoying features. when using predictive txt u cant put a full stop or comma straight after a word, u have to put a space then the full stop then go back and delete the space! so it takes a while to write a txt! also,u have 2 buy a data cable if u wana download ringtones which is a real pain and yet more money! but all in all for a girl who is more worried about the looks and compactibility this phone is good, but if u want special features then id advise u 2 give this one a miss!

ellie

yeh id just like to tell all of you that this fone is the crappiest fone ever, i ave one in pink and i will admit that the only reason i got it was because of its colour. The feautures are boring, the camera is so naff and can onli hold about 50 pictures, and the video just looks like a few pictures in a row. i made a mistake. DO NOT BUY THIS FONE!!!!

jamie

HI I was really pleased when my mum brought me a pink Vk530. But when the phone strated playing up i was not happy. The colour on the screen went black and white it wouldn't let me receive text messages and read them and the phone turned its self off. I took my phone into Vodaphone and they had to send it away. When i recevied the phone back it was fine. Since then i have had no problems with my phone and recently brought a cable which connects my phone to the computer to put ringtones and images on my phone. I wish they would of put bluetooth or infrared on this phone as the cable is very hard to get.

Megan

Iv had this fone since christmas and i hav problems since day 1. the camera is crap and i hav had it sent away 2 b fixd twice and its still faulty. the camera is showin up all green and purple and it never wrks. 2 b awnest i cant wait 2 get a new fone

miranda

Suzanne Walker

meganbrumpton

the phone is reallly nice looking BUT i got mine at christmas and by june it was broken. my mum went into the shop and asked about it and they said they've had so many problems with this phone, they havent been very well made. when you go to take a video, you cant record the sound and its only a motion shot. i would say not to get the phone.

sadie smith

i have had my pink vk mobile for a few months and to start with i thought this phone was really great but the problems soon started to appear. firstly i noticed that the battery would only last well not even last a whole day! the second problem is that when i send text msg's the writing suddenly starts going backwards! it freezes and turns itself off! basically this phone is not worth the money that i have paid and as i brought this from mail order they wont replace this handset with another one so it looks like i have to put up with this. any suggestions??

The VK 530, is a nice sized phone that fits nicly into your handbag, however there are many personal dislikes to this phone. I have found that my phone has adoppted gremlins, they wont let me ring out on occasions and sometimes when it dose my end will not ring to let me know that the person I am trying to call phone is ringing, the other problem is that I uesd to get full signal at work, at home, in the pub and even down the country lane when driving, now I am finding that I cant get signal and when I do the signal is so bad that I dont even get half the conversation, and end having to ring people off of a land line.

plz help i cant hear it when im on the phone

Laura F

At first I thought this phone was wicked but after a few hours I realised that it's actually rubbish. The photo quality is awful and video records no sound. The ringtones all sound the same and the battery only lasts a day. The backgrounds for it are DREADFUL and you can't download new ones. Overall a complete waste of money. The only concilation I have is that my sister gave it to me for free. If you are looking for a phone with an AMAZING camera, ringtones and oodles of style I recommend the Sony Ericsson K700/750i or the S700i.

Charley

The little green bell thing shows that your phone isnt on silent. Put it on vibrate and the vibrate logo will come up. I got my pink vk530 the other day and love it so far! Im wanting to download chart ringtons though..it cant be done can it?:S

Aimie

When I firts got my vk530 for christmas, i had problems with it on boking day. They swapped it and now its fine. But how do you get pictures on the external display? some one please help me!

Also, people say that u can't download ringtones but can it be sent through infared or does it have bluetooth to be sent by. Does it have composer instead? i had a quick look @ my friends VK530 and i love the mirror! Or, do i ask my parents for a VK520 instaed please give me your opinions Laura

Gemma

I was pleased when I got my new vk530 as it is the ultimate girly fone and looks great. But I soon found out that thats how good it gets.Within the first couple of weeks the screen colour faded and it never had any network coverage.The fone needs charging every day and it has not got infrared or bluetooth. Internet did not work, when texting dictionary does not save words and typing is very slow.

rach xx

i really need to know how to get poly ringtones have u gotta set up ur phone to get them

sharon

Hi, just got a lilac VK530 but when i try to send a photo to another mobile it keeps coming up 'failed', am i doing something wrong? would appreciate any help anyone could give me on this, thanks x

Joanne

I would recommend this phone to anyone (well maybe only girls cos of the girly colours!!). I got the lilac version and it is sooo cute and small. The pictures are great quality (compared to my sharp gx10i)and it can make videos! The videos dont have sound in them but it is still good to have video facility on your phone! Joanne

kerry

i have this phone for 6 months now and i really love it Advantges: Easy to use menu Phone book Build in mirror Speed dial Range of (girly) images for backdrop Ringtone (b-i-n-g-o) :) Shortcut keys on menu Little button on the side of the phone for taking pictures without opening phone Disadvantages: Backlight does not stay on for long enough Having to charge the phone every two days Recommend it to anyone!!

Laura

hi i haven't bought a vk530 yet but i really like the look of them. all of my friends say not to get it because it isn't very good. is this true can someone give me their views please. i am only 12 so be nice lol. should i get it and can i try it out in the shops before i buy it because i really would like to and where is the cheapest place to get it from Love Laura xxx

michelle

i have a vk530 on virgin network.i cannot receive or send picture messages and its driving me mad. i got the settings from virgin and still no joy. can anyone please please help ta vey much

claire

I bought this phone for myself at xmas. I am now on my forth! If you save too many messages the phone freezes and turns it self off. And with my third phone i was unable to read any messages at all - was told it had been water damaged but i know it couldnt have been and the only thing that wouldnt work was the inbox folder(which i had had problems with from the start anyway). The glass front cracks if you put a tiny amount of pressure on it. On the plus side its 'pink' and small enough to go in little bags on a night out ;p

rach

ive just bought the vk530 and everythin is fine wid it!!! when people say its the worst thing theyeve ever bought then ther house must b full of cardboard boxes!!! the camera is a gr8 quality camera and although u cannot do videos u can still video fror a short amount of time jsut without sound. its a rele gr8 phone especially for real girls!! if u r thinking about buying my advice would be GO AND GET IT!! love rachxxx

Lindsay

I bought a VK520 in December and I am now unable to use it at all. I purchased the phone (2nd hand) with a broken camera, but I figured I could live with out that when I reaslised it did not work. However since the microphone has gone, so I cannot be heard, it turns it self off at the drop of a hat and often I cannot receive messages as the inbox freezes. I love the look of the look of the phone and would like it fixed, but I do not know where to go for this. Any advice please contact me. And DO NOT purchase phones from Lucky Technology in Brighton (Pass this message on)

blondie

i am getting this phone at the end of june, i need 2 no how 2 download ringtones

Biz

exelent teenadger fone.good sharp camra.please can you email me if you own this phone and tell me if this phone has sound on the vido cheers biz

jb

this phone is perfect great for women.......really small and compact

jenny

I bought this phone about two weeks ago, what an absolute waste of money i can't personlise this phone at all i can't download anything and the ringtones that are on it are rubbish, im currently saving up to buy myself a REAL phone. The only good thing i have to say about this phone is that it's pink and fits into your handbag nicely other than that i wouldn't recommend it. However my mum loves it so when i get a new phone she can have it with no hesitation. Don't buy this phone!!!

Jo Whyte

The one thing i love about this fone is the crystal clear sound..can hear in a noisy place and im deaf too!! so this is fantastic...so many fones are too quiet BUT not too keen on ring tones..not deep enough for me..too shrill sounding.. Also text is too small, unlike my nokia...soo easy to use they are.. however i agree that the little pink fone is very cute and stylish..

zouabi

please can i know the numbrr

sian

I think this choosing this phone is one of the worst mistakes i have ever made, for example, the ringtones arent very good you cant download any ringtones you cant download any games you cantdownload any wallpapers the games take up most of your battery I only got this phone because it looks cool. Mines on contract and i cant swap it for another 11 months!!! I used to have a samsung e700 which is much much better than this phone! There are not many good things I can pick out from this phone, only that its got good colour, the camers all right and it looks good. If i gave this phone a rating it would be 1 out of 5!!!!

Ellie again

Oh yeah how do you make the camera so that you can take fotos of yourself without turning it around PLEASE HELP

Ellie

I love this phone bought one last week went wrong then they replaced it. The only problem I have is that if you want to download things I don't know what make it is besides a VK, They always ask for make , model ie: nokia etc WHAT THE ELL IS IT?

jo

good phone great colour but cannot read my messages any 1 got any ideas

mel

ive just ordered my vk 530 in lush pink n i think its a great fone!! c'mon its pink!!1 wot more can a girl ask 4! i really hope mine isnt faulty like sum off the reports ive heard!!

does anyone know what to do when u forget your password for your lock on the camera??? i would be soooooooo grateful x

you get vibrate off by holding down the star button

shopaholic

Ive had my lilac vk530 for 4 days and its run out of battery twice even though my 1 year old phone still lasts a week without charging! A bit annoying that you cant see the time on the front screen after a few seconds. Other than that I love the style/colour which is the main reason I wanted it. Iam still glad I brought it despite its down sides!

vicky

i bought that new nokia phone with all the flashing lights on it and had nothing but problems with it i took it back and was going to exchange it for a new phone . I saw the pink one and fell in love with it but wasnt going to buy it because of the download space, but i thought i would give it a try and now i wouldnt swap it for the world i think it is great . At first i had a problem eith the picks going funny shapes but all you have to do is go to photo shot then normal shot and then press the funny button with the two dods on it and then it gived the options pick the third option and then it will be sorted i love this mobile and would recomend that anyone looking should buy it

Olivia Stone

Well all i can say about this fone is..... ABSOLOUTLY FANTATIC! The VK 530 from VK mobile, is the best fone i have ever had, the camera is amazing, the messaging is amazing, and when you register your fone, you get some FREE credit! How cool is that! This fone is so stunning (I have one in pink) the colour is a georgeous colour, its a shimmery baby pink pearly colour. Theres a camera in the fone when you flip it up. Any of you asking how to unlock the fone, the code is 0000. Simple really! I got my fone for �94.95 on Amazon, and i have absoloutly NO problems with it. It recharges fully in half an hour and my battery lasts forever without cutting out. The camera quality is terrific. The fone boook is really easy to use. This fone is for any girly-girl who wants to be a princess! At first when i read the bad things about this fone, i wasnt sure about it, but i had some faith and bought it! Now i wouldnt swap it for the world! So if you are thinking of buying it, you definately should! If you have any questions about the fone, you can email me!!! Love, Olivia Stone xxx [email protected]

I got one of these phones the other day and i love it, but i can't make the snooze function work on the alarm which i really need. i thought that maybe it was just me being thick and not doing it right but after reading all these comments im starting to think maybe theres something wrong with it. does anyone know the correct way of making snooze work or have any ideas?

Helen

My VK530 mobile is riddled with problems. I have had it for only one month and it will not take any charge. I have also heard there is a problem with the phone book. The company that sold it are only offering to repair it - which could take up to four months :(

Have been using my phone and all going well until today and then the keylock has gone on. Does anyone know how i can take the keylock off all iget is a message saying invalid password. Please help.

Leather pouch cases are available for this phone at �14.99 + �2.99 P&P from www.digitel.uk.com - just e-mail from the contacts page as the case is not on the web site but they stock them.

Kathleen

I really love the vk530 make and i was proud to own one but now i have lost it!!! I have looked everywhere for it but i just cannot find it, so the only down side is that when you do lose it, because it is so tiny, it is a real struggle to find. I really miss my phone! :(

i love my vk530 and nothing has gone wrong the only trouble im having is finding a case for it does anyone no a decent place where i can get a case if do please email in thankyou!

recently i brought the vk530 the colour is really good and the games are to and the photos are great i love my little vk530 and i dont see anything wrong with it so stop dissing it!

Emma

well i have this phone for just a month now. and i have had nop problems so far. it is a lovely phone and it workd perfectly. the only down side is that i do think the pictures are not all that great. they go in a weird shape after saving the pictures but im not the greatest fan of pictures so it isnt a big problem to me. also i can not access the net but then again my old phone didnt and i have the sim card from that so it may be just the sim card. but again i wouldnt use it so its not that big a problem for me. it is quite worrying reading what everyone else saids about the phone. i know two people with the same phone and both have had some little problems. but so far i havnt had any problems so im keeping my fingers crossed. but i love it the look is great! a real girly phone!

hannah

i am really troubled about the vk530 it has just gone my birthday and i would like to buy a vk530 out of my money but looking at a lot of these coments i am not sure weather to buy but i really love it and now i am very upset because if i buy it and something happens i dont want to have wasted my money plz help!!!!!

Laura

I spent �100 pounds onthis phone, within the day i noticed problems, i took it back to vodafone n they said that they were aware that it was a problem within the phone n that they could offer me a replacement but it would have the same problems. i have since gone back again and another woman told me the same. Last week my screen froze and wouldnt d anything so i removed the bettery and replaced it and it wouldnt turn on. i toook it in and spoke to the manager who said there were no known problems with the phone. he took it and has sent it for a system upgrade or replacement of the same phone. he said he thinks i have water damaged it, but how within two hours of owning the phone and that if it was i was to pay for sending it off, for any repairs and or replacements. i advise anyone who is looking at buying one to strongly reconsider i have never wasted my money on anything so awfull and disfunctional, i would be better of without one, which i am at the moment as to have a replacement fone for a week id have to pay �50 which i dont have as i spent �100 pounds on a fone that doesnt work.

I've just found out that you can get a universal charger from Tesco for �10 which is probably the easiest solution to a lost charger.

The phone is fine but I lost the charger and can't find another anywhere! I was told you can only get one direct from VK Mobile but there's nothing on the website and the phone is the usual faceless automated service. Can anyone help?

Hello people! It is my b'day on the 25th May and i am finding it really hard to decide if the vk 530 is for me. I am scared that when i get it, it will be a faulty one. Please email me with your opinion!!!! Thanks!

This phone really sux big time DO NOT BUY IT, i bought 2 for my gf (on non cam other caM)the both suffer from inherent problems. DONT BUY THIS SHEET PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

electrodigital

a liitle bit better from the other VK Mobile phones.

hannah

i got this phone for my bday in february. i loved it for a few weeks until one day it wouldnt let me access my inbox. I rang vodaphone and they sent me a new one but then a few weeks later the same thing happened again. I am now on my third vk530 but vodaphone have told me that they fixed the problem and at the moment it is still working. It is a great phone as long as it is working. It is very small and light and very pretty! the camera is quite good quality. A few things that annoy me are that the battery life is not very good, when you are texting in ABC mode and you need two letters that are on the same button you have 2 wait a few seconds before the cursor moves across. Another downside is that it does have bluetooth or infrared or a voice recorder. Other than that it is a good phone and if you are thinking about getting this phone you should because vodaphone say they have fixed all the problems

shimmy

hi people out der im worried of buying vk 530 cos people say it aint gud so i dont want 2 spent alot money on a phone which aint gud so any 1 out der wanna sel der phone

I purchased the VK530 about a month ago but have only been using it the last 2/3 weeks as I got it unlocked. At first it would occasionally switch itself off which I could cope with but got annoying, THEN when I tried to delete msgs cos my inbox was full it kept switching off after deleting about 2. NOW it wont even let me open my inbox even tho I hav msgs 2 read and jst switches itself off!! Unfortunately I bought this phone off someone on Ebay so I dont have a receipt etc. Does anyone know if there is still anywhere I could send it to get replaced/fixed and how much that would cost, or could I just go and complain to vodafone! A MSG TO YOU ALL: DONT BE SUCKED IN BY THE PRETTY PINKNESS------DONT BUY THIS FONE!!!!!!!

chaz

hiya i am really considering about gettin the vk 530 in pink or red but i quite worried bout all these complaints that people have made but all i really want 2 know is if the camera is good quality if you can send & recieve picture msgs and how many msgs you can store or yeh and also what other features the phone has? if any one could get back 2 me and answer my questions that would be gr8 thanx xx

I own a VK530,a cute pink one,i bought it because i thought it was cool,i havent had any of the problems some of you are having but i would really love to be able to download ringtones like Crazy Frog and Sweety except i can't unless i buy a cable,not fair really,so what i am tring to say is you should'nt go for looks you should go for practicality as well,has a VK530 user actually downloaded any ringtones yet? Let me know pleaze x

Hi, I really want this phone for my birthday but now as i have read all the reviews I am not really sure, because most of you are saying it's gone faulty then very little of you say buy it. I am so confused! Please help! xxx

Sarah

If you are thinking about buying this phone just read the following and then decide what you want to do..... In February i had my phone stolen and decided i had to get another one ASAP,so i saw this cute little pink one and decided to buy it (i actually ended up going for the purple coz personally i think it is a prettier colour). Bought it from the vodafone shop and was as happy as larry walking around with this pretty girly phone.A couple of days after, the screen froze and the colour distorted so i turned it off and on again and it was fine, however after this i had numerous problems such as being unable to access my messages,the camera freezing on the outside LCD and turning itself on and off wenever it liked.I put up with it for a couple of months,but decided enough woz enough and took it back to vodafone to get my money back.However they gave me some crap about how they couldnt give me a refund or an exchange because VK wasnt part of their company (even though vodafone sold it to me and therefore should be responsible).Instead they sent it off to be repaired.The guy in the shop said it would take a week to be repaired however two weeks later they still hadnt let me know so i went to vodafone and asked if they had got it back yet and they had.So they gave it back to me and the phone was fine,none of the problems i had with it before...until the next day!When once again the screens colours completely distorted.So i took it back to vodafone and demanded for my money back or an exchange but once again they gave me the rubbish about not being able to and instead gave me a brand new VK530 phone.That was last week and so far i have had no problems with it, but im not holding my breath! Anyway sorry that was so long but i think people should know the extent of how aggrivating, time consuming and frustrating these Vk530's are. Yes they do look cute and pretty, but the novelty wears off after about a week especially when your tearing your hair out over the fact you cant access your messages etc!Trust me,this phone is completly unreliable, but then again you need to decide whether you buy a phone for the way it looks or its practicality.After my numerous problems with this phone i think i know whcih one i would go for....

I'm considering getting this phone, but I'm really confused. So many people saying it's great and so many people having problems with it. :| Just wanted to know a couple of things: -Can you send pictures to e-mail addresses? -Is the picture quality reasonable? -How much message storage is there? Sorry if these questions have been answered already but I'm confused!! Thanks. xxx

Hi I am from Australia and was in London over Christmas and New years and bought a pink VK530 because it looked cute...mine must of been from one of the faulty batches because it is the worst phone ever! Every second time I write a message it starts deleting letters instead of writing them and it always turns off and somethimes the screen pixelates (I think that is the word??). So to anyone who is thinking of buying one DON'T!!!

carly

if u want a manual then u can just download it off this page that you are lookin at right now!!!!! if u still cant find it then look at the pic of the fone then luk underneath and there is a bit saying manual and when u click on it, it gives you details about downloading it!! thats what id did coz i lost mine too!!!! so try that out and if you dont like that then thats just too bad!!!!!!

Mark Young

There is a 3rd party charger for the VK530 on Ebay.co.uk It takes a bit of finding - but the shop I bought from is called "designerfacias". Go to ebay then search on... Vodafone VK 207i/VK 530 charger When you get designerfacias shop, search on VK (he has about a million items for sale). They cost �6.50 (around �3 of which is postage). Don't know about the quality yet - but, let's face it, they aren't competing against much are they!! Buy two in the certain knowledge that one will break within a week.

Hello again! Didn't think I would be posting a msg again on here so soon...but Im now having more problems with this phone! For the first time it wont let me open my inbox, even though its showing I have a message! The phone keeps swithcing on and off so very cheesed off now! Im on my 4th one and cant see vodaphone giving me my money back - been told software needs upgrading again but not buying their stories now! Any advice anyone? xxx

Gemma

I have recently purchased a VK 530 mobile and was pleased with what they had to offer. I bought it for a reasonable price and have had no problems so far. I bought it three months ago and have not yet experienced any problems. The camera has come in very handy and although it is quite annoying to get used to the texting, is a good make I think. It takes a while to get used to the phone book but is quite easy to handle once you know how to do it. I would reccommend to anyone who is unsure about buying this phone to buy it because I think they will be suprised at it's features and will find them handy. The only bad thing about it is that the battery doesn't last very long, four days maximum, just to warn you! Thanks, I hope you make the right decision. :)

kirsty

i duno wot 2 say bout that! except that ive got the vk pink and its perfect! i know a couple of people who have it and theirs are fine too! duno how so many people are complaining about it!

choclitmousse

Wonderin y so many ppl say this fone is ttal crap, switchin off n that and y othr ppl tellin me its good n only a faulty batch thats been sent out. HELP want this fone sooooooo much!!!!!

kirsty

hey just thought id write in again to put a good review out here! i love my vk pink mobile! its really cool and i get nothing but compliments about it! i would recommend this phone to anyone! (girls obviously, i dont think any lads would want it!) if you are one of those people who want to buy this phone then id say GO AND GET IT! dont listen to those people who have nothing better to do than moan and complain about a phone!!! coz to be honest that is just sad when plenty of people have this phone and love it!!!

sava

brillliant phone, nice looking, good for the price....no doubt...my girl friend is really happy on this....fantastic.....

kirsty

i think that the vk530 is a really good phone! ive had it for about a month now and have had no problems whatsoever! if you do have problems with this phone then its probably because its faulty and then you need to change it! give it a chance because it is a good phone and it really stylish!!!!!

berni

hay i had the vk 530 pink for a while from december til march and i absolutely LOVED it, except for the battery life! omg i thought some of the little ringtones alredy on it wer cute n groovy n also the message tone iz wel cute! i den got it stolen on the same month as my birthday in march on holiday in cyprus!:( but luckily insurance money came and i was allowed to get another fone, so i chose the motorola v550, and i realy regret that...coz i realy realy miss my pink fone now!!!!!!!!!:( :( :(

katie

Has anyone else had problems with the vk530 phone charger? I know i have already posted about the treatment I received from vodafone staff but i really need to know whether anyone else has had a faulty charger so i can complain and get some money out of them! any responses greatly appriciated! x

katie

Well ive just got my pink piece of rubbish back from repair and although its behavin itself, I also asked specifically for the charger to be sent away becuz that was broken 2.went to get it back yday n the stupid gurl in vodafone said they didnt send it away, but it was unsafe to use n evertyime i need to charge ma phone (which is about every 20mins lol) i have to go 2 tha store - n im on a 18month contract with the horrible little phone! the camera is useless, before it was fixed it switched itself on n off, deleted my unread messages and the batery dies in about a day. VODAFONE REALLY UNHELPFUL - i had a samsung e600 before this phone, i wish i kept it that was a great phone! xx

jessica

how do i change my bakground ?

vk530's are the best

i am really worried i have 1 and it is chargin now. will it work 4 me? i hope it will :(

kirsty

hi,can someone please tell me if you can put photos on your pc from your phone? please reply!

Jillian

I agree vodafone has handled this badly, but the phone is really cute but has a mammoth amount of probs. From switchin off to the colours goin funny. But the lilac one is so cute.

Gill

I posted a message on this bored when I first got my phone about the major problems I was having and how I had to send it off for repairs and I was praying when I got it back it would be fixed. Little did I know this was only the start of my problems!!!!!! I went to pick up my fone after a ten day service repair. I tried to ring the shop to make sure the fone was in b4 i went over however after ringing almost 6 times nobody picked up so I went to the shop, only to be told by the assisstant "ooopps thers been a mix up your fone is not back yet!". Obviously I was angry and she told me it would be in in one wk. At no stage was I offered a replacement phone despite the fact it was their fault my fone had not returned! One week later I tried again to see if my fone had come into the shop. Yet again I tried to ring but to no great supprise there was no reply. AGAIN I had to travel over to be told yet again my fone had not arrived!!This went on for over three and a half weeks until finally somebody decided to tell me my fone had been lost and it was only fair to give me a new fone! This new fone had the "new updated software" meaning it would no longer switch off and let me into my inbox. I complained to the manager about the treatment I had but I found him to be rude and didnt wan to know. After 3days my fone started to play up again, switching itself off etc. Horrified, I foned the vodafone help line who advised me I was legally entitled to a full refund because despite the fact I had bought the fone 5wks ago, I had only had it for 11days in my actual posession. On returning to the vodafone shop wanting a refund, I was told by a member of staff I would have to speak to the manager and in order to do that I would have to cum back the next day! I went back the next day and the manager stated the people from the vodafone helpline should never have told me I was entitled to a full refund and I would not be getting one. I could either have a new phone(which lets face it was probably also faulty)or yet again sent of my one for repair. At this stage I felt completely fed up and left the phone with them to repair. I eventually got my fone back and two weeks later its going well, however the treatment that vodafone expect their customers to put up with is definately unacceptible. The have very low standards and a low opinion of their customers.Vodafone do not seem to be bothered by the fact that they provide a terrible service. I was increadably let down by vodafone and although the phone itself is nice and finally working, the service and amount of excuses from different people that I had to put up with was shocking!!! VODAFONE-GET UR ACT TOGETHER!

rachel

there are 2 vk530's that have been released the first one released had many faults this is what you users are experiencing. then they took it off the shelves and released another with no software faults but the battery does tend to only last a day or 2 when fully charged so don't buy a second hand one beacuse its probable naffed

Stacey

I got a pink vk530 for my 18th birthday as my boyfriend accidently broke my old phone. I got the phone unlocked and when i put my orange sim card into it, everytime i tried to get into my messages it said "service intializing." I then put the original sim card in and it worked perfectly. So i wouldn't recommend getting the phone unlocked. Apart from that the phone is fantastic. It has a lot of interesting features: an intergrated mirror on the inside when you wait until the screen light goes off. Bio-rythym, d-day calender, cool ringtones, great screensavers and of course the amazing girly colours the vk530 comes in: baby blue, lilac and pink like mine. I totally recommend this phone to any cool, classy ladies out there who fancies something a bit different than the norm.

melody

well i have 2 say it may look pretty but u can get no ring tones or bugger all!!! where does downloaded stuff go ??? i think it eats it

I got da VK530 it is actuali and alryt fone. But myn keeps freezing as wel so i fink im goin 2 tayk it bak 2 da shop and get a different one coz i got 1 year warranty with it. My WAP kept sayin fail as wel but then i rang up a helpline that vodafone gave me and she activated it for me. There is a website where you can download pictures and ringtones for the phone so it is not all that bad. But myn keeps freezin as wel so i will get it reset or sumin. But apart from dat da fone is heavy!

Lizzie, I have just replaced my vk530 with a 3220 it's a Nokia and it is brilliant compared to the vk530. They are great and even though they aren't as feminine or as pretty as the vk530's, they have excellent features and for half the price of the vk530, wish I had gone for that in the first place!

lizzy

I bought this phone recently for my daughter and she says it keeps turning off.So anyway the one night she went out with her m8s and i saw her phone liying on the floor so i picked it up and i looked at it.It was fully charged,i phoned one of her friends on it and sudenly it crashed it just went off,now i know why she want's another mobile phone.Late at night she come home and said to me "mom i want the 3220 mobile phone because it's kool and my m8 has also got one it even has camera"I thought what make is it anyway hmmmmmmmmm.MOM!!!!!!!!!! Oh sorry,i'll think about it....DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT MAKE THE 3220 IS? THANKS LIZZY X

i no that that the vk530 is gd but the vk207i is better it hasent got a camra but its a lot better than the vk250

Chantelle

When you buy the VK 530 you have to make a choice between practicality and image! Yes, the phone is gorgeous and I love all the admiring comments I get about it (I have one in pink!) but there is no denying that I have SO many problems with it! When I first bought it, it froze after one day and stayed like that for about two days, and so I had to take it back and ask for a replacement. My new phone is almost as bad - several times a day it crashes and does not let me open my inbox, outbox or drafts. The colour frequently corrupts and goes into negative. To solve either of these problems you have to turn the phone off and back on again. The phone also freezes then switches itself on and off about once a day, as well as freezing for about 5 minutes when you try to turn it off (still playing the 'goodbye' music!) It also vibrates randomly sometimes, tricking you into thinking that you have a message! However, even after all I've said, I really do love my phone! It is fantastic when it is working - and it is probably the most gorgeous phone you can buy!

Anonymous

I have experienced a lot - in fact most of - the problems listed on this page and finally had enough when, everytime i went to go into my inbox the phone switched itself off. I took it back to the shop and got it replaced with a newer updated one with apparently new software on it to stop all this stuff happening. Also the new phone has a bigger battery so lasts longer. And ive gotta say, so far it has been working great. Anyone having trouble with multimedia msg, try to get gprs settings from your appropriate network. Also, if ur camera stretches the pics try changing the 'image size' in the options menu! that worked for me! hope this has helped some people!

Mark

A worlds first !!! We now have VK530 USB Data cables and software to let you transfer polyphonic ringtones to your phone. This is the only way to transfer tones to the phone, as you cannot get them delivered by calling one of the adds in the paper !! see the cable at After searching for cables, i have finnaly found one that works !!! These guys have got a GREAT cable for transfering ringtones to VK 530 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got mine today and its fantastic, they even have a members area wirth all the latest tones to play with :-)

Shell

I havent had any of these problems with this phone, had it about 3 months now, but one thing, does anyone know how you get it to send and recieve picture msgs? When I try it says gprs error, does it need enabling or something? please email me if you know [email protected] TIA x

hannah

when i turned 13 i desperatly wanted the vk530 mobile phone in lilac as it is my fave colour! when i got it i had no problems with it, but i was a little dissapointed when i found out you cannot download any ring tones or pictures. i got over that. after a while i found the camera went funny and stretched the pics. when i looked at my pics more than 5 times a day the colours would go all funny an i would have to turn off my phone then turn it back on again. again i got over that. then when i went to look at my messages it said fail, so i trned it off then back on again. i didnt think much more of it. after that i found that i didnt like the fact that it broke after a little while of having it. so we went to take it back and they gave me a new one(lilac again) and saw it had gone down by �30!!! already!!! thats after 4 months!!! i havent had any problems so far apart from straight after i bought it the colours went funny. it has been fine so far. it is a gr8 phone for me, jus what i need, i dont need blue tooth or any of that other flashy stuff, im happy just as long as i can text and ring ppl:P so if ya want a phone that does everything for you, this isnt the rite phone:D

Carole

Got my phone at Xmas. Kept going off when I tried to retrieve message. Took it back to Vodaphone shop I purchased it from but the Manager was very rude and said they hadn't had any complaints about the phone!!! even though my friend had one that broke after a week and hers was replaced (at the same shop). It was reset, it lost all content but has been working OK since.

lyndsey

i got my fone 4 christmas an it turns of itself and now every time a go 2 go into ma inbox it turns itself off its really anoyin i am goin 2 change it 2moroXXX

Hey Miche, you've got some good points going there. I'm sure many of us will join you in your opinion. How about writing to Watchdog or the Consumers' Association (www.which.net)?

Miche

Well people all I can say is that when i first held this fone in my hands i wanted it BADLY!! it was so popular that every time i went to get it, it wasnt in stock and for gods sake i dnt know why i didnt settled for another phone!!!! at first it was a little dream but from the following 2weeks ive had problems. i was recieving pictures but now it has decided to stop and comes up with a sign WAIT and does not load at all!! then the messages started going. like i would go through each message to delete it and then it would say ERROR!! i want to know personally if this website is for people with questions and need answers with this phone then were the hell is the help and the answers?? I would love to speak to the company and ask Why did they let and make a product and bring it into the public market sell it, but knowing it would have many foughts???? they need to sort this out soon and fast to correct it as they soon and have repretation at stake and money as i can tell you now not one of my mates, family or others will ever buy or purchase this phone or any made like it. if someone could contact me and bloody tell me why and explain how they could resolve the problem they could make alot of people happy!!!! i think this phone should be taken off the market and some hardearn sweat and money should be invested to improve it and test it!!!! i cant believe a top company would not do this!!! this is why big top brand names like vodaphone or orange or carphone warehouse have good reps because they sell reliable mobile phones!!!! so if this company invests then it might click in their hands there is a BIG PROBLEM!!! WAKE UP and TAKE A REALITY CHECK!! because this mobile it well and truly pasts its sell by date!!!! EVER HEARD OF UPDATING?????????

Gem

Hey, I bought my VK530 the other day and havent had any major probs - as yet! Fingers are firmly crossed!!! For those of you wanting to sell - they are selling well on ebay at the moment (about �80-115) and there are accessories on there as well (In-car chargers and unlocking cables). But does anyone know where i can buy a data cable for the PC-Sync function?? Thanks

carla

hey people i bought the little purple one u got alot to moan about really but there r sum good bits as well! ok bad first: it turns itself off all the time mostly when i go into my messages, sometimes i cannot recieve calls (nothin to do with signal because i put my sim into my frends fone and it works fine), i cannot reciev picture messages wotsoever, very short battery time. good points: its very cute, camera is of ok quality apart from outstretched picture... the mirror at the front is quite good... lol. my advice to any one who is looking to buy the fone is dont. i payed 130 pund 2months ago and it has alredy gone dwn to 100pound. dont let the cuteness and price of the fone persuade you. its not tha good mark out of ten: 4

Sam

Does anyone know where you can get another battery or any other accessories? Battery life is rubbish

well i have the crappy pink vk 530, and the only cool thing about it is its pink. i have the same problem of wen sometimes writing messages it deletes what ive just wrote, so i turn it off then it seems 2 work again. also i cant send or receive pic messages which is also crap so am gonna c the guy i bought it from about the problems.word of advice, DONT buy it. i give it 3/10 xoxo

lilly

Liked the style, colour and size. Unfortunately, found that the battery life was less than 24 hours and no warnings of a re-charge required. Very difficult to see screen in sun light. Returned after a week!

smiley

bought the pink phone on wed, so far so good, had to get my gprs activated but apart from that mine seems fine. able to send and receive piccies to both my computer and my boyf's phone. Lovin it!

Louise

Katie S

well where do i start. i wish i coul dtake this mob back, yeah it's stylish and pink which is great but it has a crap menu, the picture is crap and the video was advitised wrongly as it stated that it recorded with sound but does not and you can onoly store 5 15 sec videos. does anyone know where i can take this back and whther i could get a full refund. it has rubbish feature too with no music player and shit ringtones. i thought i was purcheseing a good phone but how wrong was i. DO NOT INVESTE.

HEY

My fone is alright but it keeps goin a funny colour so i hav 2 keep switching it off...And the battery life is really short. Anyway i love the fone

Katie

I started having problems with this phone the day I brought it. It wouldn't let me access my messages, instead I got an "error" message. Messages were fine once I'd re-booted the phone, but the same "error" message happened again and again! It also turned itself off, on its own accord. I took the phone back to the vodafone shop after putting up with this for a month as it was still under guarantee. They sent the phone away to be repaired. I've now had the phone back and it's been working fine! Apparently there is a batch of VK530's with the old software on it, so my advice to those with the same problem is to take it back to the shop to be repaired. I'm pretty happy with the phone now. So far so good! The only annoying thing is it has a very short battery life, and the fact the front screen light does not stay on very long- it's not very useful when you need to know the time. Theres not much choice of message alerts either.

fran

the fone jst doesn�t work. It deletes all my messages some of them dnt even get through the vibrate only sumtimes works n if it doesn�t it dnt stop so u have to take the battery out. It cuts itself off in the middle of fone calls n txtn so DNT BUY THIS FONE ITS NOT WORTH IT!!

Laurz

i gt my phone bout 2 days ago from the vodaphone shop..ive had absolutely no problems wiv it n i love it..i agree must of bin a faulty batch..my friends 1 camera is broke but shes dropped itloads lol...well i recommend it 2 all pple..cept pple who want really high tech ones

kirsty

Im having problems with my vk530 too and im just wondering where i can send it to get it fixed?

kirsty

Hiya i got this phone about a month ago, the pink VK530 and its been playing up. It turns off and re starts on its own and right now i have 2 new messages in my in box but when i click on it, it re starts itself and wont let me read them? its a shame coz i luv the look of the of the phone and its easy to use but its bit crappy when it dont work propperly :o( gutted.

Dicky

Phone very cute and love the colour display however the short battery is a real pain and the quality of the sound is pants - have left messages on voicemail and apparently they are totally non-understandable - would take it back if I could.......Any ideas where I can get a car charger ?

Jiminy

kimberley

hi have the lilac camera vk530.does anyone no how to keep he external screen always lite up???also i had mine unlock but now have a o2 uk logo any ideas to get rid of that cheers kimberley

Kelli xx

I luff pink 2 pieces. But this phone has been so close to puttin me off the colour for life ( not really but still). First off, it doesn't let em send pictures, recieves pictures or anything like that, rang up vodafone to get my gprs activated more than once, waste of credit. I gave up with the sending/recieveing pics. First day I got it it'd randomly say 'Error' when I went to look in my messages! GRR! then after about a month, ma keypad lights were on but ma screen was off + wouldnt switch on, so i took it 2 get fixed was supposed to take a few days (took 10!) had it back for a week and now every time i go to read a message my phone switches off. I kno evry1s buyin it cause it looks cute and i agree its one of the prettiest fones ive seen, but if u want a phone thats goin 2 work, dont get it :o) if u do, I hope ur luckyer than me and most of the people who have commented. xx

Sally

is that a yes, or a no 2 buy or not 2 buy, that is the question!!?? lol im jkin dont worry

Gemma

I got the vk530 lilac fone and luved it soooo much. So much in fact that it broke my heart when only after 4days I had to send it in for a 10day repair service!!!!!I'm getting it back tomoro and hopefully it will no longer randomly switch off and it will finally let me into my inbox all the time instead of when the phone feels like it!!! To anybody that didnt have any problems with ur fone im so jealous. I was really peeved when it had to be repaired and I have 5 friends who have since bought it and had the same problem :( So to any1 who is going to buy this phone-I hope u get a good one!There great when they work but increadably frustrating when they dont!!!

vicky chessell

I love my pink phone........... it is soooo pretty, no really it is. Anyway on a more serious note I am looking forward to a long and fruitful life with my new phone. I think that it is a really good buy and have not had any problems with it (only bought it today)yet. I would like to know how you extract a ring tone from a message to use as a ring tone. If anyone can help that would be great. Cheers

Does anyone know how to get rid of the operator logo (e.g. voda u.k.), on the vk 530?

Me

Hi i just want to say that a new battery is only supposed to last for 16 hours i mean its not surprising its so slim

ice_lolly

Hi must admit the phine is slightly annoying at first as mine switched itself off randomly when I was on messages however i sent it away to get it fixed and I am awaiting it to return I have been told that it will be sorted when it comes back so fingers crossed people. Hey and who cares if it is a wee bit annoying its cute and fun to flash around

carli

ha could someone tell me how many photos this camera is spose 2 take cos i can only take 30 and am not sure if thats just my phone or everywns. please could someone answer my question by posting their opinion

NADDERS

DO NOT TOUCH THIS PHONE AT ANY COST I've had a mobile from the old brick size day and got one of these without being aware of this forum, sold in by Vodafone, primarily for my daughter. It has to be the worst phone ever on Vodafone, and it is a complete disgrace that they push this pile of crap. At least in the brick days, the phones hardly ever went wrong; it was mainly a signal problem. Thsi phones software simply does not work work correctly, and just stops it working. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Jackie

Me again - have just read everyone's reviews - yes I agree it also doesn't last a day on 1 charge either and having a little rubber bung to remove to charge it is a bit annoying. Wish I hadn't got it really.

jackie

I have had the phone for 4 months - it is a little annoying in that it turns itself off at random and will not come back on until battery back removed and replaced. It also scrambles my photos, and will n ot receive pic messages from my husbands phone. It is v complicated to type texts too... should have stuck to my old fashioned Nokia 8210..! but the phone is pink and cute and good when its working!

stacey

Hey pep's, well i got me pink vk530 bout 2 wks ago the colour keeps messin and i cannot open picture messages or ringtones i also cannot accses the internet and the charge dosent even last for 1 day. I got it chipped so it can take any sim card and i dont wanna take it back becoze i lose the money for that aswell. send me an email if u got any advise. thanx xxx

Vikki

If you can reply to my message below, my e-mail address is - [email protected] For some reason when you click on send e-mail my address comes up wrong sometimes. Cheers

Vikki

I brought the phone today, before i seen all these messages. I hope that i'm not going to get these problems :-( I have one question though that i can't seem to find anywhere, does anyone know how to keep the outer screen display on constantly as its so annoying that it goes blank after a few seconds.

Betty

Shirl, vodafone informed me that no ringtones are available for download and if you got charged by vodafone live for the download to phone customer service for a refund, also the lead to doenload from pc is unavailable, they are made by samsung(vk is their new trade name)

Shirl

Had this phone for a week now, and although am having to charge it every day have had no other problems with it (touch wood!) Only thing is does anyone know why it wouldnt download a ringtone that i ordered from the Vodafone website? i got the texts through fine and clicked to connect when prompted but alas no new tone :( any help or advise appreciated

em

hi got the phone bout a month ago have had to change it four times as it turns itself off and when i try to write a txt it comes up with an error message.

Hannah

i just got this phone 2day, in pink, and i love it... ive always had a nokia and i think, although different, its a really ace phone.

em

im really glad i read these messages coz i woz gonna by the vk 530 but now im not coz it sounds rubbish. can anyone giv me any suggestions 4 a new fone coz i really need 1?

Liz

I wish I had read these messages before I got this phone.I admit it is cute looking but just doesn't preform properly, the camera is not brilliant but does the job,no new ringtones available to download(has anyone be able to get hold of the lead to be able to download from PC?)I had the problem of it switching of on its own and the battery not lasting more than a day so took it back and now on my second phone, and am having all the above faults. I am very disapointed, low grade product 4/10

Anonymous

I just got the pink one on Saturday, and I must say that i'm happy, it takes a bit of getting used to, but change isn't always a bad thing. The camera is fine for a non pro, such as myself and the ringtones area big improvement. The games are the only complex thing , unclear instructions and tacky sound.90/100

deb

hi got the phone on weds and am having problem writing texts. only happened 3 or 4 times but very annoying. as im writing all of a sudden the more i type it deletes what ive already wrote. and then on 2 occasions the screen freezes and you cant do anything. turning the phone off for a few mins then it seems to be ok again. it also only seems to do this when the battery is running low so that might be why. the battery is very short apparantly you get 4hours talk time and 8 hours standby which is pants other than that i love the phone

KrIsTiNa

ight .. iv orded da vk530 pink im spose ta b getin it sum tym dis week bt nw uz lot av pt me of! iz it reli dat bad or av uz lot jus gt da falty lot ???

laura j

Ju

just to let you know, I got this phone over a week ago and have had to charge it 5 times already! Just in the process of sending it back. I've always had Nokia phones and thought i would try this one as it looks so sweet. It really needs updating!!!

fi

could anyone tell me how to keep outer screen displayed as when close fone it goes black........ thanks

Sue

I hae a Vk530 and had trouble with the inbox - if your phone turns itself off when you try and read a text message you have received, it is apparantely a known fault. Call 19086 from your phone and they will talk you through the steps to fix this. alternatively you can press *#27# (hold down the hash key until is says WAIT - then release the hash key. this will clear the fault. YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR TEXT MESSAGES AND PICTURE MESSAGES ETC. So only do this if cannot get to txt messages - a real pain. love the phone tho!

deborah

hi, i just got this phone today and i have had no problems at all i think the phone is excellent for the money and it looks wicked, i have also found it very easy to use it is very different to my last phone which was a nokia 8310 if i can answer any of your questions i will try thanks deb

HEATHER

absolute rubbish and they wont give me my money back even tho its an internal software fault!

Naugfhty Nats

I have had the the vk530 since christmas and I have had no problems at all with the phone, it is so cute would have been devastated if I had. If you are wanna buy it go for it as it is one of coolest phones around (well I think so an

Claire

Well i saw so many bad reviews about this phone that i thought i ought to post a good one! i honestly havnt had any problems but then i wasnt expecting high standards from it! yes the battery life is low but at the end of the day you are paying for a pink, specialised girly phone, not a top of the range technical wizard! if like me you are after a bit of fun and a cute girly phone that can make calls and text then go for it! if you are wanting a phone thats a lot more high tech try a different one!

Ruth

Thought this phone looked really cool but am now having to send back - the usual problems - losing txts, switching itself off when I try to retrieve them, battery running out really quickly. Hoping new one will have all these sorted!

k8

I really want to buy this phone but now all of you lot ahve been moaning about it saying the camera is a bit crap im now having second thoguths seen and im only 13 but whe i get it IF i do ill be 14 but pleqase can you allll HELP me please ashould i get it or not and if no are there any other niice phones likes this one avalibly that WORK :D

nic

i duno wots goin on wiv these fones, but i just cant read my msgs! it turns itself off everytime i wana go into my inbox. thats the only time it does it. im so annoyed cuz now iv got loadsa msgs and i cant read them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hayley

hi i think the phone is good but my only problem with it is that i dont no were to download ring tone from i have been on every site i no and still can not get them sent to my phone do you know were i can get them from? from hayley

Donna

I bought the VK 530 yesterday, and have problems all ready, the handset wont even switch on and it keeps making a weird fizzing noise like it was short cuirciting or sumit. I phoned the vodafone help line and they told me it was MY SIM Card that was the problem (even tho i tried to explain to them that the phone will not switch on whether the sim is in it or not) then when i asked them for the number of the store that i bought it from (even spelt it out to them), she insisted that where I lived didnt exsist, coz she couldnt find it on her computer .... after getting very annoyed and hanging up I then phoned bck and spoke to someone who was very helpful managed to put my town bck on the map ! Gave me the number and assured me that they will exchange it in the shop due to it being faulty !! So fingers crossed the next one is better, but reading about everyone elses problems I am having second thoughts and just thinking of canceling all together before I am tied in for the 18 months .... any advice ???

ema

hey, ive had mine for about 2 months, and i love it! when i 1st got my 'Spy 21' pic i realised that when its flipped shut... if u hold down the bottom of the volume button on the side, it puts that camera on the front so u can see what the pic looks like before you take it! its amazing!bit crap pic, and stretches a bit wen u open the fone, but its good enough! battery life is shockingly short tho... v good fone tho, and i recommend it!

debbie

i think its a great phone except the battery life isnt very long. ive only had it a week and its needed charging everyday, even hen i dont use it alot during the day.

siobhan

hiya.. ive been readin everybodys messeges.ive had the pink one just under 2 weeks now and i love it!it doesnt do any of the stuff that you've been talkn about so im guessing you jus got the faulty batch =( even tho my camera dus have what one of ya's said "the cob-web effect" thing.. which isnt good! and having to take the grey rubber thing out to charge it is annoyin and i did notice one of my photos had saved by itself as Spy42 which was weird. but otherwise i love it n everyone says my phone is cute!! id recommend people to buy it!!

Mazza

This fone is the coolest ive eva seen. Me and 2 of my mates have it, and none of us have had any problems. All I can say is, if you've a prob with ur fone, moaning on here won't do any good - take it back A.S.A.P!!!! Good luck 2 every1 else who wants 2 buy it - its the best fone ive ever seen, It's cute, stylish and best of all, girlie!

kaye

yes this fone looks really nice and all , has a camera which i always wanted , but its not worth the money really , i have had it for abt 3 weeks and the piccs are rubbish unless u stand so so still and also setting pics as wallpapers , the scren goes weird , so u have to switch the fone on and off,, i jst hope i will not have trouble with txts like u others have had, will jst say good luck if u buy this fone

kay-cobra

i like all u people bought the phone cos it was cute an pink. i've had it about 3 weeks and i keep noticing problems. like sometimes i can't get into my messages, it turns itself off and i'm having problems recieving picture messages from my mates. i find the camera rubbish and can only save about 37 photos at a time. is this just that the phone is rubbish or do you think i ought to take it in and get it replaced. if anyone has any suggestions than please e-mail me, thankssssssss. i hope you all have better luck with yous than i do with mine!!!

nicky

my pink vk530 keeps takin pictures wen it is flipped down so it shouldnt even work, and saves them in my photo box as "spy51" etc. i dont no why its doin it and if i should get it seen to, duz any1 no if summits wrong wiv it or if its just a settin and i can change it. also battery is rubbish and msgs dont work sumtimes.

sam

I rang vodafone about my faulty vk530 ( had it two weeks) They told me that The VK530 is longer available and I have to choose another phone. So those of you who are having no problems with theirs I wish them the best of luck, Its a shame because I really liked the phone.

marie

hi. i got this phone yeterday and i only got it because it was pink the same as most of you. i am starting to think that it was a bad idea because what everyone is saying. i have got insurance so i can take it back if it breaks but i shouldnt have to. does it happen straight away or does it take time to go wrong. pls reply

Katy

I don't see why everyone is so mean about the phone. I find mine great! I was sooo happy when I got it and it has been great! I love it!

Bob Long

obviously you are not going to say what is right with your phone!

sam

I have had my VK530 for two weeks (in pink) I was really pleased with it until yesterday when for no apparant reason it wouldnt let me open my messages it just turned the phone off and then back on again ( very annoying) I see a few of you have experienced this, did they fix it or shall i just give up and ask for a different phone.

barbie blues

is it really all that bad? I really want this fones coz it looks so cute in pink! d ya tink it was a faulty batch or just a poor fone??? i want this one as all the others out at the mo are big ugly or just weird!?? x x x

karen

wot a disaster! The phone is rubbish, my camera has a cob-web type glaze over all my pictures, i cant receive or send photo's. waste of time!

Kara

I love my pink fone Ive had no probs and Id advise anyone to get it. One question though does anyone know how to keep the outer screen display on constantly as its so annoying that it goes blank after a few seconds. pls email me on [email protected] and let me know. Thanks

sallywally

well i have just ordered this phone and im really excited but i hate u al coz u have made me have doubts the evening that i ordered . But still they told me over the phone that teher was a faulty batch so im sure hopefull touchwood mine will be okay!neway i think that it is so cute i used to hate fliptops but for some reason i love this. I know my male friends will rip me for getting i thow.....but who cares!

jo

I cant beleive how many problems there are with this phone!! I loggged on today to buy this phone from amazon and thought I would do some last minute research, and Im glad I did now! Thanks to you guys Ive saved myself some money and a lot of hassle.

babez

i got the vk530 last week and so far i havent had any problims infact i think it is the best phone i have ever had its small and light and v nice i would recomend it to all mt friends and family.

Karen

I got this phone as an upgrade from Vodafone, I was dead chuffed with it at first and then I started getting the problems many others have mentioned, can't retrieve texts, switches itself off. Whether it is a faulty batch or not I have sent it back and got a different one. The camera on it is rubbish as well, compared to the Motorola I have at the moment.

ruth

by the sound of it alot of u have had a faulty batch, very unlucky. but if u get a full working one they r ace!

ruth

i love my little pink vk530. yeah its not brilliant for anything otha than taking pics, ringing sum1 or texting but isnt that wat a phone is for. if u want a stylish girly simple phone go 4 it! but if u want internet n ringtones n pics n all the 3g stuff dont get it, but i have had no problems and i love it!!!!!

louise

i have got da vk530 in pink and i love it 2 pieces. but the only fault i got with it is that i have canot read my text messages, everytime i go to open them my phone will automatically go off on its own.i have smashed the front screen on it already and i have only had it for about 2 months, but otherwise its a nice little phone

jay

im on my second vk530 now and i've got my fingers crossed its gonna b ok. there has been a faulty batch which has gone out to ppl as they didnt know which one were faulty and which ones werent. my last vk used to switch itself off constantly and i couldnt get into my inbox as the error message kept coming up. well, i got my new one, its not done ne of those things so far and i hope it doesnt as it really is the cutest fone! however so far, wots buggin me with this fone is that the external screen, the colours are very and faded and the pics i take are sometimes stretched even though ive adjusted the size. other than that, its fine, if it doesnt switch off and allows me to get the inbox im gonna stick with it

Katy

I dont see wat all these complaints are for!! I really want this fone in pink, and Im hoping I get one in my birthday in july, but is it really all that bad????

Luce

Hi,what a nitemare this mobile has been! I started with the VK207 model which kept scrollin through the menus by itself. Vodafone gave me another one and I had the same problems, so that got sent off for the so-called 'software upgrade' that someone else mentioned! After further probs I was given the VK530 model, which I have finally activated for media messaging! I am abl to receive them but for some reason am sendin blank media messages! Can anyone let me know which options to go into to make sure the pics are attached?! Thanks!xxx

Louise B

Okay girlies... i bought this mobile in the lilac... although i absolutely loved the pink. Anyway this mobile is not worth it at all!! I tell you what, i've had the phone literally 2 & a half weeks, and its already broke.. The screen went absolutely dark, and messages were fuzzy, so u couldn't even see what profile u were going into. When i went to pick up my phone yesterday... it was still in repairs.. and coincidently another customer was picking up the same mobile from repairs too (only hers was pink, and it was her 3rd replacement in a period of 4 months). It is a very unreliable mobile, and i would not recommend it to anyone. Not only does it brake on you, but the battery don't even last a day. I've also had problems with my friends being able 2 get through to me on it. So my advise to anyone who is thinking of buying this phone is, "Although it looks good, it does not at all fulfil the purposes that a mobile phone is supposed to. Don't bother wasting your money!!"

I can't believe the amount of complaints there is about the VK530!!! I bought mine at Christmas and it has never really worked properly! I just accepted that it needed switched off and on numerous times a day. But the last straw was when I couldn't open and read my text messages. When I go to open my inbox the phone switches itself off! Very frustrating! Can't believe I am looking to buy a new phone after only 2 months. Major waste of money! DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!

I really really want a lilac one but reading all of these reviews has really put me off. I'm not sure what phone I want now. Is this phone really that bad? I might get a samsung E600. Does anyone know much about that?

hayley

i was goin to get the lilac one today on contract, but as i hav been hearing so many complaints etc i hav told my dad not to get it from the shop today and wait till we properlly discuss it tonite, ive been waiting since christmas for a new phone and i cant find the right one and the ones i like are discontinued so i thort great this one is perfect but now i obviouslly not so sure, but ive been waiting for so long so all i really want is a phone, but i mean since ive been waiting a while i would like a good quality one

i havent had any problems so far with this phone (touch wood) but what i can say is that it a nice pretty phone but very SIMPLE, doesnt have many features but its not bad. my brother bought a phone for �109.00 and he has been ripping into me cos i paid�129.00 for mine and he gets a lot more for his money, like video rec and dowloads anything. SO ok he gets more for his money but what i say is that thE VK530 is nice and feminine and worth the money. I ONLY NEED A PHONE FOR A TEXTING AND A QUICK CALL, NOT A PLAY GAME SO ITS IDEAL FOR ME, BUT IF U WANT A GADGET TO SHOW OFF TO YOUR MATES WITH THIS WOULDNT BE THE PHONE FOR YOU

I got a lilac VK530 a few weeks ago, and I too have been having these problems. The battery runs down VERY fast, especially if you are texting and using the camera. The handset does turn itself off for no apparently reason, and no, you cant see who a text is from until you go out into the inbox and have a look. Sometimes the colours all go funny, and the only way to sort this out is to turn the fone off and on again. At other times the text inbox/sentmessages/drafts cant be accessed, "ERROR" is displayed. This, too, requires you to turn the fone off and on again to fix. Overall I am not impressed. Very cute fone, small and light too, and a few nice little features, but they seem to have quite a few problems with them. I wish I hadn't bought this fone.

Hi I got my vk30 for last christmas and it had been great but at the moment im getting trouble with the address book wen i write a message and i wont to send it i have to go through all off mu contacts which is about 400 i dont no if its my phone or is it the phone it self other than that i love it sssoooo much

Rhian

Hi i got a pink vk530 on valentines day and so far it had been nothing but great! i love everything about it...there was a batch of faulty phones so you probably got those...i have no complaints with my phone whatsoever i LOVE it!!!

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS FONE! I bought this fone, cos it was pink and cute, but seriousley, it is not worth it for all the trouble its worth! Screen switchs off, screensaver turns into a fuzz if you dare to switch the fone off, battery lasts 10-12 hours, if that, and when I try to get into the inbox the whole fone switchs off again!!!!!! You cannot go onto next letter when texting, you do not know who your text is from unless you go back and check, and pictures that I took on the camera part and saved, disapeer and then come back again days later! I stuck with this all for a while as the fone was so cute and pink!!! But it just got silly. Taking it through VK helpline was a joke, the operators do not speak english, as it is an Asian company and do not even seem to know how to spell "Mobile", let alone fix one. The company does not even have a website!!! Vodafone shop was stupidly unhelpful too, saying they cannot replace it or give refund, but only send it off for repair which takes a month, even though it was faulty when I got it!!!!!!!! They have given me a terrible tempory fone and they are rude when I call and ask for an update on the repair. This is apparently due to a "Backlog" -(Not my problem though!) The point is though that a "BRAND NEW" fone should not be in repair! It should work perfectly from the day you buy it. GRRRR! PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS FONE PEOPLE!!!! xxxx

i got the lilac one a few weeks ago but sometimes it turns itself off, and when i read my messages sometimes it comes up with 'error'! so i have to turn it off and back on again!

Natalie

The phone is pretty but i have problems with the msg it deletes them as i write um and have to turn it off and back on again! I had to return it as i can not read my msg without it turning off it is rubbish!

kate

im not really impressed...i like the colour but thats it. When you recieve a text it doesnt say who its off, until you come out of text and look in inbox list. also to charge you have to remove a very small piece of rubber to plug in charger....what are you supposed to do with such a small component, besides lose it....dont buy one!

Sar

i love my phone, had it about 3 weeks, it does delete the txt every now and then but who has ever bought a phone that didnt have problems, it doesnt stop me using it and all i have to do is turn it off then back on.

Heather Wicks

The camera looks great but you cannot download ringtones and the battery runs out too quick - 12 hours. Are other people having this problem?

livi xxx

hi my friend has this . she got it 4 x mas and hers isnt having problems so far......i should warn her :D

Clare

I got a lilac vk 530 for christmas and ive been having troubles with it for ages the other day the screen went totally blank and nothing comes up on it. plus half way through texts it starts getting rid of what your writing also the phone turns itself off when i have full battery. DON'T BUY ONE

I got one of these for Christmas - straight away I found that it wouldn't hold numbers in the phone. Took it back to the shop - they said they'd had about 200 with this fault, but as they didn't know which ones they had sent them out anyhow!They put it right while I waited. A week later I realised that it was going flat every other day, even though it was hardly being used. It was away for 2 weeks for a "software upgrade". At the time of writing it is still as bad, and Vodaphone are letting me replace it with a different phone. It's a lovely looking phone, cute and easy to use - but no good if it keeps having problems
