Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the Nokia 2220 Slide

  1. i have a nokia 2220 & how do i transfer the pictures and videos to the computer..
    john asked on
    1. I wish I knew!
      This is the only problem I have but as I only use it as a phone it does not affect me too much.

      Sorry I can't help.
      Chris replied on
       
  2. Why does it have an E on the screen?
    Lesley asked on
    1. Mine does not have an E on the screen, so sorry I can't help you.
      Chris replied on
       
  3. My phone keeps on downloading pornography on it and its its getting realy annoying
    Chris asked on
    1. Destroy the Sim card.
      Derek replied on
       
  4. I am a basic phone user - just texting and phoning using my son's sim card which is a monthly contract so I only use the phone as a babysitter for the sim card, is it easy to use? I don't care about fancy stuff, but I can't read small print so how large is the print? Also, when texting, does it keep up with you? My last phone lagged behind and when I was finding letters/numbers it was dreadful, just couldn't keep up and you had to count how many times you had to press the key to find the number/letter you wanted. very irritating.

    Many thanks
    Andrea asked on
    1. Dear Andrea, As I am 66 years old, I wanted a phone that was easy to use. This one is dead easy. When texting, don't have your fingers a blur, and it will keep up with you. This is the best value for money that you can have. Hope you like it. Kind regards.
      Charles replied on
       
    2. It is a very easy to use phone it doesn't do anything fancy but if it is just for texting and making calls it will be perfect.
      mich replied on
       
  5. can i get facebook on this phone ?
    maureen asked on
    1. Dear Maureen,I don't think so.
      Charles replied on
       
    2. To be honest I don't know but I don't think so it is a very basic phone
      mich replied on
       
  6. can you keep your existing number and sim card
    graham asked on
    1. Dear Graham, Yes. Make sure all your numbers are on your sim card and not on your phone only. Then put your old card into your new phone. Easy Peasy!
      Charles replied on
       
    2. Yes I did but I did change networks so I had to get it unlocked but it was no problem
      mich replied on
       
  7. Can you download ringtones to this phone?
    If so, any suggestions to a good 'legal' web-site to do so! Looking for 60's music....!


    Sandy asked on
    1. Sorry haven't done this, have checked through instructions & you can defo download some games & Java apps but ringtones not mentioned.
      Fiona replied on
       
    2. Very much the same, ring tones not looked at
      Les replied on
       
  8. does this phone have bluetooth?
    Pauline asked on
    1. No it doesn't it is a very basic phone and the camera does not take very good pictures.
      mich replied on
       
    2. No bluetooth, but everything else I needed. I use this only as an emergency phone when I am out and about. Well worth the cost./
      Sybil replied on

      regards
      Les replied on
       
  11. I have a vodafone simcard, can i use this in the phone or do i have to get it unlocked?
    steve asked on
    1. Unfortunately you will have to get it unlocked
      mich replied on
       
    2. I am not too sure about this but feel it will have to be
      unlocked before you can change this
      Sybil replied on
       
  12. Can I use the sim card that I have on my present T Mobile pay as you go?
    Pat asked on

      San replied on
       
  13. wanting to get one does it have a music player?? and a usb thing to connect to your computer ??also can it only be used for t-mobile??????
    Lucy asked on
    1. Yes,it does have a music player which connects to MP3 or AAC sound files.There is no USB connection on the phone,but you can connect to the internet with this phone.I have never done this as it does not interest me.As for t-mobile,check on the web page that advertises this phone.It should tell you all the providers that this phone will accept.For the money,this is a good phone.I hope that I have been of some help to you.
      Charles replied on
       
  14. do nokia 2220 automatically go back 1 hour 2 night ty
    sue asked on
    1. No. But it's quick and easy to change your time - go into settings(with the spanner symbol), scroll down to time and date and select. Scroll down to time: You should notice the highlited hour - type the correct hour and the hour will change on your screen too, then press save (big fat middle button) and exit in the usual way.

      Fiona replied on
       
  15. does the phone have an alarm
    jay asked on
    1. Yes it does. For waking me up that's worked fine but for diary allerts I can't get it to give a ringtone - only an alert on my screen - and have not got round to trouble shooting that. But it does have an alarm..
      Fiona replied on
       
  16. does the phone have an alarm feature
    jay asked on
    1. Yes,it does have an alarm. A good phone for little money. Used it in Lanzarotte last month. Excellent for ringing home E.T.
      Charles replied on
       
  17. when you slide it open does it answer the call, looking for my dad 73yrs bit deaf just wants to answer calls x
    susan asked on
    1. No it doesn't! Your dad will need to press the green phone symbol on the lower left side of the closed phone - he needn't slide it open to answer, but he can if he wants to. Likewise, when he is finished with the call he will need to press the red phone symbol on the right side or he will remain connected.
      Regards, and Happy New Year to you and yours!
      Fiona replied on
       
  18. Is it bluetooth?
    Paddy asked on
    1. No. Its a pretty basic phone. Ive had bluetooth over the yrs but never really used it.
      Id only get this phone for calls and texting really and something that fits in your pocket and looks pretty good compared to other phones in this bracket.
      Christian replied on
       
  19. Might be a daft question but how do I check the credit balance on my phone, I've been looking through the little handbook but nothing is jumping out at me with the information.
    Pamela asked on
    1. not totally sure but it does automatically tell you after sending a text & after making calls . hope this helps
      HELEN replied on
       
  20. This phone is dual-band. Will this work in the USA? It will be bought in Britain as Pay As You Go.
    Chris asked on
    1. I think it may not work although I am not 100% sure. This phone works in networks of GSM 900/1800 MHZ but my friend told me range in the US is 850/1900. Sorry for not been able to help on this...
      Agnes replied on
       
    2. sorry i wouldn,t know but i have got rid of my phone it was rubbish it couldn,t hold the signal which was very annoying for work i kept the sim card for my new phone and there has been no problem ,i have heard other people say they have encountered this problem so be warned

    eric asked on

      Sarah replied on
       
    2. yes it has got a loud ring tone,ive got mine set to like i care ,its loud
      DOROTHY replied on
       
  22. hi can someone tell me if there are different ring tones and how many also has it got the internet and if there is anthing else u can tell me thanku
    sharon asked on
    1. Yes there are different ring tones, and yes you can go onto the internet if you wish
      San replied on
       
  23. can someone please tell me can u acess the internet and what are the ringtones lies does the phone ring loud enough for u to hear, can anyone tell me anything else about this phone i dont want to invest in this phone if its a waste off money which i cant afford to through money away thanku
    sharon asked on
    1. Hello Sharon,In theory you can access the internet,although I did not get the mobile for that purpose and have therefore not tried to.However I will say there would a limited amount of information you could get on the mobile face at one time owing to its size.The ring tones are adequate and audible.If you know your way around the mobile menu it does offer alot,and is easy to surf.The slider design I find very useful,as you cannot accidentally phone anyone when in my trouser pocket.As it is on the small side anyone with lack of hand dexterity problems might find the mobile awkward to handle.What it comes down to is what do you want the mobile to do for you?This moblie is good at basic tasks.If you want good internet access you may have to look elsewhere but I am not an expert.I hope I may have been of some help.Good luck, Derek.
