Ericsson A2618s

Not much more to add really - as a mobile and an early model at that, not too bad really. Obviously by modern standards its big, heavy and not particularly pretty, but then its not over complicated and the buttons are easy to use. It would be nice if it held its battery charge for longer.

This was the first phone I had, and I was over the moon with it. But after a month things started to go wrong, the aerial kept breaking and falling out randomly, and the final straw was when it had to be sent back twice, and the second time they wanted to charge me, it wasnt worth it...

Although the phone is cheap but the quality is superb!!!

This is horrible mobile phone. How can something like that be sold? Too big antenna (you can go fishing with it), plastic keypad can't be worse (that CLEAR button is joke), battery goes crazy (you never know what's going to happen next) and software is a nightmare (you need a half an hour to write an sms with 5 words)! After I throw it into wall, I borrowed old, legendary Siemens S10. Big monster but works in every aspect. With it, after Eric A2618 I feel like I'am on vacation...

Beware of it! Really!

I don't know wether my problem is with the phone or my Orange pay as you go service.

Problem:- My phone intermitantly (Getting more frequent) looses it's network connection and displays "No Access"

Orange seem to be unable to tell meexactly what the problem is. Orange's latest answer is " that there may be a problem with my local tranmiter, I fail to see why this should affect my phone while in other parts of the country.

Any enlightenment on this problem would be most appreciated.

I have been very disappointed with my Ericsson A2618 mobile phone - glad to be rid of it.

I had to have my Ericsson A2618 mobile phone replaced under warranty, because the battery kept running flat, and the screen would say it was charging when it wasn't even plugged into the charger. Now the REPLACEMENT phone has just died, after less than 4 months - same thing, battery runs flat fast, and it won't charge up AT ALL when plugged into the charger - it's completely dead. Unfortunately this has put me off ever getting another Ericsson.

The Ericsson A2618 mobile phone is not worth the money as, with mine, it broke almost straight away.

This Ericsson A2618 is a very good phone, exept a minor problem that the screen light did not work on my phone but I took it back and they gave me a new one. Otherwise I am happy with the phone so far. Good strong keys and not one button operations. The big aerial contributes to better reception.

The problem with my Ericsson A2618 phone STARTED when I plugged it in to charge it. Keyboard started becoming erratic. The phone would lock up on a few keys. Now none of the keys work except the ON/OFF. Still get sms messages but can't read it or send a reply as the keyboard doesn't work. Think something shorted out?
