    I have an older Nokia 5100 which I am taking to the US as it is tri-band. Last time I was there the UK mains charger did not work in a 110-volt US socket - even with a 2-pin adaptor. Are mains chargers voltage specific? i.e. should I try to source a 110 volt charger before I return to the states?

    I have a new Samsung E250 and what a dream to use! It’s streets ahead of my old Nokia 3310. I hadn’t realised mobile phones had improved so much. The oly thing is, I cannot find anywhere, how I can assign a specific ringtone to a specific caller. Anyone help?
    Thanks.

    My partner and I want a phone each that allows us to synchronise our calenders. If we have to we could do it though our PC at home. She would prefer email access. I’d like a decent camera. Neither are as important as linking our schedules. We’re sick of writing things in 3 diaries and a wall calender.

    I am looking for a phone which has the capacity for at least 6 daily alarm calls. The present one, which rings and vibrates, and switches on if it is off when the time comes to alert us, is great, but only has 4 daily alarm calls possible. No sites seem to give this information on their phones.

    hello,

    i’ve just bought a pink 7373 . i have just a few questions about the memory… the phone came with a micro 1GB card that i have in it now but i think thats for images etc. this morning it came up memory almost full etc.. now i don’t have much on it at all.. maybe 30 text messages and some images… so what exactly is the memory for it and is there anyway to boost it? i used to have a 6300 and i used to be able to save 100 texts etc.. thankyou

    just wanted to add that it also came with a SD transflash adapter… what is that?

    My new CECT phone won’t accept any of the sims I’ve tried from various networks. I’ve read that i may need a 56k sim. Is that true and would my operator (T-mobile) be able to give me one?

    I have a Nokia 6230i phone on a monthly contract with carphone warehouse on O2. I do not use it much and feel I would be much better off with a pay-as-you-go phone, even if I have to buy a new phone.

    I would like to know if there is any way I can do this but retain the existing sim card and/or phone number.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Regards

    I’ve Nokia 6300. 2 days back I dropped it in water by accident. I was anxious, so I tried to dry the back part, I removed battery,but after few minutes, I put battery back & tries to turn it on. It didnt work. I was only able to get the correct scredriver to unscrew the front cover the next day and the i dissembled & left it to dry few hours. I put it back together, but now its not working. The blue light on side flashes,then it says “contact service”, nothing more, then goes off.

    Can you please help me to clarify what exactly this message means? Will my mobile never work? Or can some repairs be done please to make my mobile work again?

    Thank you. I would be greatful for your help.
