    Good Points: Reliable, fully featured (for its day) and virtually indestructible (I bought mine years ago, second hand on eBay - and although I've dropped it on concrete several times it is still working perfectly well and not cracked in any way). Also very small. Many useful functions like speed dialling and voice dialling, voice memo.


    Bad Points: Well it's getting a bit long in the tooth so no camera, MP3 player, coloured screen, Bluetooth or fancy opening mechanism.


    General comments: The Alcatel One Touch 525 directory gives you three numbers per name (home, business and mobile). There is a wake up alarm as well as several general alarms. There is a voice recorder. Front cover can be replaced. Ringtones sound dated now but at least you get many to choose from and you can compose your own (I like this feature a lot!). You can record something into the voice recorder and use it to wake you up in the morning or to do anything (for example "Bid on eBay because auction closes in five minutes time!"). And while it's yelling at you it can also be sending a text to your daughter to remind her not to get on the bus today after school as you're picking her up. All from one alarm! If you like that kind of complexity and you want a phone that will go on and on forever, this is the phone for you.

    I used this site to help me make a choice of fones so will contribute my 2 cent's worth.
    I bought this fone from vodafone in NZ last week and am very happy with it so far. It does take a bit to get used to after my previous brick phone (Motorola d628) I hate predictive text and would prefer to be able to switch this off permanently but it seems to come on every time when I start to text and so have to switch off manually by holding down the # key.
    It's not as easy to navigate as I would prefer ...

    I've had this Alcatel One Touch 525 for a week. It is a terrific phone in pretty much every respect except it's version of "T9" predictive typing in writing text messages. I counted that it takes 13 keystrokes to write "it's" as it's not good with apostrophes. It's annoying if you like to get your grammer correct! "Doesn't" and "isn't" aren't any better. I'd borrowed my girlfriend's old nokia 3310, which she hates, previously and now we've swapped. The 525 is a lovely looking phone - it's small, ...

    I bought an Alcatel 525 yesterday and start using it today....everything is fine and easy to use.....much better than my previous phone - Nokia which is heavy and gives me headache (strong radiation). Some newer Nokia phones are improving in its weight, but beware of their radiation (RF emission)....it could damage your brain cells and then cause tumours and cancer, according to numerous studies. With Alcatel 525's price it is indeed an excellent product and I recommend it to all people around t ...

    I have used quite a few of the Alcatel phones, from the now very outdated Alcatel Max db to the 525, and am pleased to say that they have improved quite a lot over this time.

    Battery life has been a good feature on all the ones I used, even from those NiMH batteries that are obviousely made from AAA batteries in a case. The battery in this model though is a more profesional looking Li-Polymer model, which works very well.

    Another useful feature I have found on most of the recent Alcatel mo ...

    Available at a "bargain basement" price of £79.95 in the UK on Virgin PAYG. This handset is a real bargain BUT is anything but basement when it comes to features. It has a huge list which includes a built-in speakerphone for those "hands free" moments, a choice of 30 ringtones, some of which "sound" polyphonic, WAP with GPRS, predictive texting with picture messaging, 3 built-in games and a voice recorder for those all important "must remember" things to do!
    The phone weighs just 77g and ...
