Problem 2: While buying Big C ( Himayat nagar center ) told that battery backup upto 2 days. but it gave 3 hours for me. battery backup is not good. i felt it is not user friendly.

I haven't used the phone since, I can't remember the phone number or even the service plan I was on (I think it was prepaid service but I can't remember for sure). Thanks for any answers out there!

  • HELP How do you turn off the Bluetooth please

  • Very slow phone.. also not very waterproof..

  • very slow phone............., poorest battery backup.........,

  • It is cheapest phone in market in Serbia at this time, and company VIP gives it as present. Nobody want it especially but it is nice phone for FM, MP3 and camera for make pictures * sound and video recording is not fully made. Sound recorder is for 30 seconds last, and camera make only pictures, not movies. But, for present, it is good phone. There are only chargers and batteries for it, USB cable can not be found easily. And in Serbian> dobar telefon s obzirom da je dzabe (kao poklon)!

  • a great phone and it give me a lot which other cannot

  • I have just got this phone and people have said things like "it does not support memory cards" which is rubbish as i am using a 2gb mini sd card for my music and it is working fine. Secondly the colours scheme is better than what is stated my phones colour is purple and this colour is not mentioned on any of the reviews. The only gripe that I do agree with is the battery life is poor and I will have to charger the phone every other day which is a bit of a pain. Otherwiise it is a great phone in general if you do not want anything really fancy.

  • Battery life poorest. 2 hr chargetime half an hour talktime

  • hh...it's VGA...realy suck camera this phone have...

  • I have a Vodafone 527, it is a relatively good phone, it does however have a few foibles, for example, if you accidently press the "hang up" button when texting, you cannot cancel so you will lose the text that have have written in that text. Also, the camera is pretty poor even in good lighting. But all-in-all a good, compact phone, appropriate for every day use.

  • how do i get songs into the phone

  • how much megapixel is this phone

  • plz make the mode clear with the profit its difficult to use & battery not stand good .

  • i want a data cable or usb key for vf527.. is it available

  • what are the acceseries with this cell??

  • how you turn the volume up

  • i want game in this mobile which types game format support in this phone

  • I would buy a bluetooth adapter (USB) to connect with PC.

  • i think this phone is a good and quality phone it has a lot of memory and is very fast i would reccomend it to anyone.

  • Dreadful phone- bought it recently and have gone back to my old Ericsson- no excuse for such poor design

  • it is weak in battery.sound clarity is good,slow in speed.but it is stylish also..

  • This phone is quite rubbish i only wanted it for the colour the camera is not good i dropped it once and it went really weird i would never buy this phone again i want the genio ........ the back of my one always comes off its really annoying i don't know if anyone else phone does but mine does i would recommend not buying this phone and there isn't much to do with it ether thats all :) good bye

  • Buy a micro SD card and put songs and tones on it. or buy a bluetooth stick to send files to your mobile

  • to install java simply copy jar files to micro sd. Use my files to find the jar files. Then press options install. Screen is bad but camera is good enough if you see them in computer.

  • this phone is rubbish.....the battery life was very week........... no use with this phone...i waste my full money to buy this..

  • I think this is the best phone I have used in years!!! the email is great and the video streaming is second to none! I didnt think it was possible to get HD quality movies on a phone but the 527 has proved me wrong!!!

  • I think this is the best phone I have used in years!!! the email is great and the video streaming is second to none! I didnt think it was possible to get HD quality movies on a phone but the 527 has proved me wrong!!!

  • this phone is crap,rubbish,a waste of time,slow,boring,terrible font,rubbish camera,..............dont buy this phone,take your money and go to a phone box instead

  • This phone is one of the worse phones ive had the memory is pathetic and i find mine really hard to get the back off also my bluetooth doesnt work its a cheap phone

  • im having quite a problem with this phone and the screen. i was just wondering how do you turn the screen off during a phone call? because when im on the phone the screen just stays on until the call switches off? solution pls

  • It states that you can only get this phone in black but you can also get the phone in silver, pink and purple...I should know I work for Vodafone...

  • i have no display can u say settings how to ring tone applay

  • I think its an ok phone, but what do you expect from a phone that cheap? its not as if its going to be as good as an iphone. if you want something better just spend a bit more. its good for the price it is and its easy to use. if should say something though the screen is quite poor quality and so is the camera

  • This phone is not the best phone in the world, but yo can get used to it and actually like it. On the negative side it is slow and the camera is not that good, but this is as much to do with the display, if you send the pics to another phone to use a cable to print, the pictures are actually better than you think but since you are not provided with a cable this is a tedious way to do things. On the positive side, the sound is good and the phone feels good to use, slim and nice feel. A major fault is the predictive texting has a deep red background and you cant see very well what you are typing using predictive text.

  • slide phones are ugly...

  • No, it can't. But why do you need it to?

  • yes you are rigth this phone is a dumber one my suggetuion is plzzzzz throw this phone in garbage

  • yes , you are right, i also have been facing same problem with this handset, and Vodafore Customer care is soooooo poor that they make us run after them, they dont even provide better off sale service. Its says 2 years replacement warranty, but when u go their store, they make you cry for it. PLS PLS DO NOT BUY THIS. VODAFONE SELLING JUNK IN THE MARKET.

  • this phone is very slow .the mobile havecoverage problem.after re-inserting of memory card number of massege get deleted

  • its one of the worst phone i have seen in life.it is very slow.

  • greetings,which part of tanzania? pay a visit to SAPNA-dsm,they can help.

  • wow! the phone is good and representable,besides i have been enjoying since i bought it.

  • This Phone really Sucks. Seems Voda is always out in market looking for junks and dump it on customers. My simple suggestion: If you have less money, stay without mobile, or get a basic mobile, but dont buy this stupid phone. If you have enough money to spend, dont spend it on this phone, rather, donate that money to charities. This phone is just a dumb brick. slow on memory response, slow on Bluetooth, low ringers, poor dissplay contrast. Typical SAGEM (Always born with defects).

  • i bought this fone and its the nest i consider it to any one only proplem is the memory its a wee bit slow and it neva updates ty for reading y comment if u have to say anything reply back to me ty xxxxxx

  • never buy this phone.it has common manufacturer error.it switches off from the network at uneven time but the phone is on. so you dont know when it is switches off from the network.only when somebody inform you directly you came to know it switched off from the network.then you have to restart the phone then it will be ok but again the problem starts which you cannot find.to my knowledge it is model design mistake which cannot be rectified.it has 2 year replacement warranty.but if u get the replace mobile, it will also have the same problem.anyone have doubt can email me at [email protected]

  • I wonder how to install java games ... i tried with different games but it says "unknown format".

  • Oh and one more thing.....to take off the back easier, don't do it from the bottom. Above the camera on the corner, just lift it up :)

  • My opinion on this phone is that it is good for its price. Slow performance, but other then that, its very simple to use. I have encountered no problems with this phone, except two things. When someone sends me anything by blue-tooth, it doesn't ask me to save. And the SIM card is very hard to take out. I haven't managed to take it out yet. The battery lasts a good 4 days for me (2 days when i play music about 4hrs a day) Max 4gb Memory card makes up for the 8.26mb phone memory. For some people's problems. - For an Micro-SD card (To transfer Files) you will have to by a Micro-SD Kit. You use the usb from the kit, to put files onto the SD card. Then insert the SD card into the phone - Some people ring tones are incredibly low, I managed to fix this. Go to your menu, then entertainment (or press the right button), and go to music player. Press up to put the sound up or down to put the sound down. This also increases the ring-tone volume. - I bought my 527 from Argos, it came with a charger and Earphones. I just use my Micro-SD card kit to get files :) Hope I helped Oh And You Cant Record Videos on This Phone. I Am Going to buy a new one in about 1 month and a half :D

  • I would like to know if this phone can ring and vibrate at the same time?

  • The phone is light and can fit in your pocket.It comes in a variaty of colours.I have had mine for a year and have used it quite alot.The bad points are that the camara is not very good an the lighting is not good,also the back of the phone is hard to get off and it takes ages to turn on. Over all i would give this phone a 6/10!

  • Just bought today and noticed didn't include a lead to connect to computer. How do I connect to my computer to download music onto the MP3. Thx

  • My charger is not working , i m not able to charge. When i contacted the vodafone store , they says that they dont have the stock. What shall I do? From where I will get the charger? Its not available in any shop... The only option I have to throw the mobile with the charger ..... ;-(

  • Wery good phone,but it is not onlu in black colour,and can use micro sd card maximum 4gb,and not only 10recived,10missed and other it can much more to save!

  • Yes take the back off and its the silver metal pice right above the sim card you slide it in from the side, it microSD.

  • Take off the Back, the ring to put a charm on is near the right hand cornner.

  • VERY bad organization inside the phone, can't use themes, though interesting design.

  • Had this phone about 4 weeks,cheap is about the ONLY good thing about it, screen is difficult to see without using your hands to shade it from light. The battery life is UTTER rubbish,doesn't last the day, and now when charging it tells you it's charged but the battery indicator shows it's dead.???

  • You can buy usb leads for these phones just find one for a Sagem as they are the phones manufacturers! So I would bet real money on Sagem doing a lead that would fit!

  • is there anywhere you can put a phone dangle on? you know like the little phone charm thing girls always put on their phones? lol its like my top priority because i have the cutest phone charm ever!!

  • can sumone tell me..?? how one can adjust the volume for ringtones???

  • I've got this phone. It would be nicer if the screen was larger and if you could have the vibrate function without it being on "Vibrate only" but I didn't find it difficult to use at all when I first got it. If anything, it's an extremely good looking phone for the money you pay and is incredibly simple. It's a good phone if you're using it as a phone, for calling and being called. The internal memory of the phone only has the capacity for a couple of songs and some pictures, but that's easily fixed with a 1GB (the phone won't recognise anything higher) Micro SD, which will hold probably upto 250 mp3s. And as for the volume, do you realise that it gradually gets louder, the longer it rings. All in all, I think it's a good phone. It does the job, and I've had no problems yet, which can't be said for my previous phone, Sony Ericsson W910i, which cost me about 5 times as much as the Vodafone 527

  • My wife Bought one these because it looked nice! It is awful,low volume on ring tones,not the easiest of phones to navigate around,the general quality is cheap and my wife will be returning it next week.

  • Hey guys is it better to buy a Nokia 6300 or this phone. Plz, answer.

  • i want to ask and someone if he knows to answer me - i bought a memory card but i want to know how i will put my songs in the card from my computer when i dont have a accesorie to put my songs from my computer to my phone like sony ericsson thank you

  • I bought this phone on a holiday in Englad in August last year. I loved it at first but now i am kind of hoping that it will break or that someone for some really odd reason would buy it. As many before me commented you can hardly hear it ringing when your outside. I've lost count on how many calls I have missed because of this. And the phone is soooo slow... and you have to charge it all the time. And I don't even use that much! The only plus I can think of right now is that it is really cute. I feal bad saying mean stuff about with it lying on the table next to me, I don't want to uppset it. Just remembered; I would have loved for the screen to be a bit bigger.

  • i got it can some1 tell me how do u mak da volum higher nd it confusing when u first get it

  • its good and cheap but they need to fix the screen it goes a negative colour when your not holding it in the right place so even just glancing on your phone while on a table you will not be able to see the time or anything like that.other wise a good replacment for a phone

  • i have the vodafone 527 and i think it is great

  • yes! you are really really big and, yes you can do it in your pocket if you want... XD XD XD XD start studying english

  • when ever go on vodafone live it always crashes on me and i just wanted to know if there is thing wrong with my phone

  • when ever go on vodafone live it always crashes on me and i just wanted to know if there is thing wrong with my phone

  • it is a good mobia

  • Just press the middle round button it';; save the incoming file

  • I is it big? Can i do in in my pocket?

  • all you do is save it in drafts and then it says send then do it

  • thanks

  • A Good phone if you are looking for a very low priced phone with all bare minimum essentials. Looks are also good. Only thing which is bad or very very bad - It's slow. Still if u r looking a phone with all features( Cam, FM, MP3, 1 GB) and low price- 527 can be considered.

  • its a good design of phone its got a good mp3 player but a bad camera it dosent have voice recorder or video player player or recoerder but its a ok phone at other thing not a big memory but just buy a memory card its a good phone decent and a trendy design. worth buying. maybe as a first or second phone pretty basic.

  • what is the meory like can it hold much

  • take it back to the store & give my money back or replacement.

  • processing is so slow that you want it to through out, camera is also too bad, speaker is good but i want more.

  • mint phone i love it!!!

  • the Fm radio is not stereo and the camera is very bad but the Mp3 player is very good

  • Fm radio is not stereo. You cannot save fm radio. Camera is good. But screen is bad. Then people say that camera is bad. No video recording or videoplaying. I "download" java games using the microsd card I have bought. When I take a phote sometimes says "failed" but then I off the phone and on and then works.

  • built in games are fine dont ned to download if take back to shop u make mistake

  • the phone is awesome

  • youre doing it wrong

  • wrong

  • I got this phone as a last resort after finally giving up on my Motorola U9 (worst phone ever). I bought it as it is cheap and thought it'd do until I get a better one. Overall it's ok, nothing special (ringtones aren't great, no video, bad camera quality) but it works, which is more than can be said for the U9. My main problem is that when I'm texting and accidently hit the 'off' key above the '3' key, it asks if I want to save text to drafts with no choice of going back into the text. This isn't the end of the world, but it's time consuming and really annoying after a while. It also means it takes forever to text in the dark, at night, in clubs, etc. Also, there's hardly any memory. Other than that, it's not a bad little phone.

  • I bought this phone, and it is the worst one i've ever owned and i've had oads. You can not download games on it even though it says in the manual that you can. I know this is false as I took mine to the store and they told me that the handset did not support that feature. I will be taking mine back asap

  • I bought this phone, and this is the worst handset ever owned and i've had loads. You can not download games on this phone even though it says in the manual that you can. I know this as when i found i couldn't do so, i took to the vodaphone store and they told me that the handset would not support this feature. So will be taking back

  • its nice mobile.........any mobile company........ nokia, sony erricson........etc

  • Fabulous phone despite thefact that.. I CANT SEND MESSEGES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ''messege failed '' , ''messege failed'' thats ALL i get..... worst phone ive ever had, im going back to my Sagem i got in 1999!!!!! - its about 100% better!

  • i had this problem press the middle button- this phone is terrible i repeat TERRIBLE..id give up now on it and buy something else..

  • very slow process & major problem of hanging...!

  • Every time someone sends me a Mp3 song it plays and when you stop it, it doesn't save. Can anyone of you kind people help me if you know how to save songs? cheers

  • How do you remove the sim card to replace your old one. Each time I try to it dosen't budge.

  • Every time my sister tries to send me a photo it always says failed when reading why is that i don't get it!?! and it cant be that my phone has to many things in it cuz in the same vodafone shop i bought a memory card that you can put hundreds and hundresd of songs photos wathever please i would like to have a specific answer thank you very much

  • Take it back to the store and get a refund or replacement.

  • It looks like Sagem

  • I bought one of these for my son for Christmas and every time we try to take a photo the message 'Failed' appears. I have look at the manual but this message is not explained. Can anyone help?

  • this phone is very gud and slim, i like it very much

  • i think this phone is very nice but for its low price many people are not bying it. Well i bought it and i am having no problem with it yet

  • I still can't get a short text message ringtone. I've even made my own ones but they just get repeated - I need something short - getting fed up hearing it go on and on and on.... I suppose for the price it's not a bad phone but agrre with comments about the battery - I'm forever charging it up.

  • Just got this phone for my wife. Excellent design and look. Very nice colors. Fair features for its low price. But not very user friendly: Poor sounds and volume, poor light, ugly fonts, low battery life, low memory. It's a pitty... I was planning to get a couple more as gifts to friends, but eventually I had to change my plans.

  • I charged this phone for 4 hrs & after an a hr the battery was empty, & this phone had also sent 35 blank sms & 94 calls to all my friends my recharge of rs 250 was over & had -7.So I exchaged this phone at mobile store & brought nokia 3230 for 1100

  • this is the first phone which my dad gifted me on my birthday 1 month after I got this the problems started on night when all where sleeping the mp3 player statred,calls went morning a got plenty of calls from my friends.worst phone I don't know what to do please help

  • THis phone is very bad calls go automatically to everyone.I purchase this and after 15 days 150 calls had gone to my friends,gprs got activated a got a bill of Rs 1200 for which I didn.t use.

  • there's no bluetooth...

  • Battey is not good,

  • I bought this phone when my E250 conked out, and I do not like the phone one bit. It has a terrible camera, cant do video, I can never hear the phone at all, so I miss every call, and to top it all off, the battery life is pathetic. I would much rather be without a phone than have to use this everyday.

  • how do you turn the phone on?

  • hey there r no themes ?

  • You have to set in profiles "outdoor" - or something like this...i haven�t english version of phone. The phone can sound and vibrate together.

  • how i can put the phone on sound an d also vibration?

  • Very UGLY phone,my friend has it,it sucks,compared to my 6500 slide

  • Hey, If you are facing such a problem, it could be either that the network coverage in your area is poor or that there's a defect in the phone. We recommend that you visit the nearest Vodafone store. Incase of any defect, the set will be replaced without any additional cost.

  • I have just found out the answer, when saving you press the centre button and follow the prompts, the guy in Argos told me, even the staff in the Vodafone shop I went to didn't even know how this worked, so what does that tell you eh !!! Anyway, got fed up with phone and am now selling it on e-bay.

  • I have the same problem. Do you know the solution, please? Thanks.

  • I have just got this phone. When I am trying to save a new contact on to the sim card it lets me do it so far as typing the name in, and then I confirm it on the OK button, and doesn't go to the next stage of letting me entering the number etc., has anyone else had this problem ? I have also followed the instructions from the booklet and it just doesn't seem to do this.

  • my vodafone 526 looses network most of the time, people say that it might be sim card specification but how do i know? i leave in Tanzania East Africa

  • i just brought this phone from the vodafone shop for �30 with a &10 top-up included on the reciept and a further nice little surprise was the �1 credit on the SIM which was already installed.im already in voda so i just topped my old number up &kept the spare SIM incase i get stuck without any credit anywhere(im a lorry driver).I brought the phone for work so for �19 where the heck can you go wrong.plus its got a 2yr garantee.so what is everyone complaining about!!its a fantastic work phone for �19.I love it!Go buy one today

  • I just bought this phone and i am delighted with it, it is very cheap and simpil

  • it has no vibra&ring option... but it has the "outdoor" option, which if selected has the same effect, so it rings and vibrates at the same time. i've just brought this fone, i'm so disappointed, though it has mp3 player fm radio and vga camera, i almost can hear it, even in my silent room.. shame on sagem, making a phone almost unhearable when rings.oh, and vibra totally unusable, when i put in my pocket i can't even feel it.

  • This phone is great! I put him 2GB MicroSD Card with a lot of music. It work very good. You should take it!

  • How do I select a SMS alert that doesn't ring like a voice call? This is probably something really obvious but I can't find just a short 'beep' or one-off alert. Likewise, I searched ages for ring and vibrate, but it seems it is just not there!

  • Though it is fully loaded magic box, there are many features missing in it such as themes, vibrate and ring, specially video and all such are offered by your competitor at the same value in the market. I request you to upgrade your handset with all features as well as CD Companion mentioned in your usual manual is not supplied by you pls do so.

  • It IS made by Sagem. Phone's ok for that price, looks nice and slim, but the ringtones are soooo quiet!! Even when you change it to 4 (which is the loudest) it's impossible to hear it ringing when outside.

  • I just bought this phone for �30 Sterling. its a good first phone I think, but the features are not very advanced and there are many good features missing. I would prefer this to a Samsung E250 (around the same cost) anyday!

  • I have heard that this phone is originally made by Sagem.

  • this phone cost �59.90 in Portugal and acessories on the box are charger obvious, stereo headset, and a bluetooth headset all this for �59.90 is cheap. The phone is not so special but for the price is cool the menu is similar to other phones, the ringtones are ridiculous but wherever

  • Let's share my oppinion: 1. The display - it's very bright and is hardly visible on sunlight. 2. There is not "Vibrate & ring" option, on you can only get the phone vibrating by choosing the "Vibrate" profile from the settings menu. 3. Can not modify LEFT and RIGHT buttons' shortcuts, they're always set to "MENU" and "Vodafone Live!". You're not even able to select shortcuts you want for the navigation key - you may choose between 15 pre-defined shortcuts. 4. Phone ringing is always incremental, doesn't matter if you selected loud ring (Level 4) from the settings menu. 5. Some java games and applications are not running. 6. There is no possibility to record video! 7. If you want to record a sound you should go deeply in the menu which is very user unfriendly. 8. Battery capacity is very small so it needs to be charged very often. 9. Everything seems to be OK for that kind of really cheap phone. :)

  • Hm...that is a very cheap phone...it's price in Croatia is 25�
