I just purchased this phone and it said that it was "my faves compatible but when I downloaded my icons I couldn't open the file and when I went to the t-mobile site it says that even though the phone can receive dowloads and images and ringtones it's not supported. That sucks!
i had the same problem. lets all just stop being cheap and buy the iphone. because this phone really sucks. the camera is bad. the texting is too little. the sim card doesnt work. its way to light. its just a bad phone. so everyone get iPhones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i sell thats phone all the p168 have that problem thats says emergency thats means that dont have signal the p168 the signal its to crappy i sell my p168 and i buy a apple iphone
im guessing u have a 3g sim card..most of these phones only work with a 2g sim card..so all u have to do is buy a 2 sim card and u should be good to go
For everyone who keeps asking me how to fix this I really dont know, after all I made this video to get help. I sent this back and got a refund. I dont recomend buying this unless you have a different network.
THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING EVER!!! BUT I LOVE MY MOM AND DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANY CHANCES! If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours
Err,on a normal phone, it normally says "emergency only" when your sim card is expired. It expires after like 12 months of not using it, so when was the last time you topped up the sim?
Okay, I'll take the advice of some ACTUAL users. So can anyone tell me, does this phone have ACTUAL internet like the iphone? And can anyone or has anyone attempted to view youtube and or myspace video on it or video from any other websites? If so, does this phone allow it? And does this phone give too many problems? I know it's a good deal compared to the iphone but do I have to worry about freezing and malfunctioning? And last, is it more PC based or MAC based?
I just got my phone but need help with it bad. can anyone tell me how to download music, videos ringtones and wallpapers onto this phone from my PC is their a pc suite that would work with it also any have the drivers for it THANKS
curious if you figured this problem out? i could use help myself w/this. i have been trying to figure it out on my own but can't. it has only allowed me to add 4 of my own ringtones also.
yeah my at&t dosent work on it eaither but my t-mobile works just fie with it uh you may try putting your sim cardb on an off brand one but yeah im ot sure though
I got my phone last night and it worked great last night and this morning. Now it all of a sudden went to that emergency thing. My sim card is in the right plae and I have the right phone. I have Cell One/AT&T and they couldn't help me. Anyone else help me?
mine did that at 1st . are you sure you have the sim in the right slot. try to switch the sim to the other slot and see what happens . i'm works just fine
AT&T may use only 850MHz GSM band in a few rural areas of U.S.A., so please call AT & T to make sure that they can support 1900MHz band before bidding. THis Phone can only work with 1900MHz in USA.
dude if u live in the US u probally accadently got one that isnt for the Us the only ones ive seen for the us are the quad bands bcuz if ur in the us n u have att they use 850/1900 band u probally got one of the 900/1800 witch means u cant use it.
Please help...we are still having the same problem. It only shows emergency at the top...has any one figured out how to fix this...even AT&T doesn't know how??
this happened to me when i first got my phone..i put my sim in slot 2 and it didnt read it. i turned the phone off removed the sim and put it in slot 1 and it worked fine.
how do you get that main screen with the red bar you have to slide to get the phone unlocked i just have the regular fish in the back without the slider bar
That is the link to the new forum i have made dedicated to the ifone clones. It is an all english forum and still growing please register there and start posting in the sections. It will soon have wallpaper,ringtones,screensavers,software and other cool stuff all for the desay and other clones.
i would put money on you getting a stray signal from the 1900 band sometimes. tkae it on the riad and the service will change in different directions. You most likely need the 850 band.
you are probably on the esge of the 850 area. Did you check to see what you need there? is the 850/1800/1900 sticker int he back? if not, the 850 band does not work anyway.
yes only for a little while I went to settings then to network setup preffered networks then option then add from list then alphabetize the list find at&t then select sort by default for at&t then sometimes it pops up as at&t and I called my home phone and it worked for a little while. I cant expalin it but it worked.
hi could you tell me the code to enter the engenerring mode i cant seem to get a code that works with my cect s689 can you help me in any way?
