Hi I have recently purchased this phone ... Anybody knows what is the default security code on this phone ... I have tried 0000, 1111, 6666, 666666, 9999, 12345 etc, but nothing works.

Exactly............ Thats the reason I said; If you wanna buy the dual (CDMA+GSM) china phone: - check all settings before you buy. put both sims and try calling, sending sms from CDMA to GSM(lengthy), bluetooth, etc.... - check the IMEI (*#06#) - Use handfree or bluetooth headphones (it works) --- though mobile phones emit safe level of radiation, if its an unbranded phone and coming cheap who knows whether radiation has been taken care of. Cheers Bobby

Hi... If you wanna check mobiles for IMEI real numbers just remove the battery and check for a 15 digit number starting with 35... in the battery compartment. (It has to always start with 35) You can also type *#06# in standby mode to see the IMEI number on the display. High end China phones (touch screen) do have proper IMEI numbers, but then again you never know if duplicate IMEI number has been issued (i.e. an already used IMEI number) I am using a china touchscreen cdma+gsm phone CG6680 since last 7 months, have dropped it accidentally a couple of times and its still working all okay. It looks classy, high quality body with fantastic touchscreen experience and stereo speakers and can put Nokia to shame. China dual (gsm+cdma) phones are excellent multimedia phones but have some drawbacks only for CDMA as below. 1) Simple functions like bluetooth or setting a picture as wallpaper are only available on the menu list if a GSM sim is present in the handset. (I keep an old voadone sim in the GSM sim slot) 2) MMS, Internet, Call waiting, Call Diverts, record feature while on call, etc are only allocated to GSM sim card. These features are not available for CDMA sim. (probably they were not able to design a phone that can cater these features to both types of networks on a single handset - Not sure if its the same case with SPICE phones) I tested each and every functionality of the phone at the store for more than 30 minutes before buying it. Still it came up with one issue and I am living with it and it is; - If I send a standard length text message (less than 160 chars) say of 40 to 60 chars., the message goes out as a broken message and incomplete. - If anybody sends me a text lengthier than 40 chars or so, I receive it as a blank or a 3 to 4 chars message. (However, I can send and receive any length messages using my GSM number from the same phone. This can be an issue with only my phone or maybe with any CDMA+GSM dual phones) I'll be getting it reflashed to see if that solves the SMS issue. I am basically a Reliance user so if have to send text messages I have to stick to an 8 to 10 words messages. The problem is I might receive long messages and hence blank or a few chars. For eg. the message that Reliance sends each month for my bill that is generated comes as "Dear Cu" and thats it :-) If you wanna buy the dual (CDMA+GSM) china phone: - check all settings before you buy. put both sims and try calling, sending sms from CDMA to GSM(lengthy), bluetooth, etc.... - check the IMEI (*#06#) - Though mobile phones emit safe level of radiation, if its an unbranded phone and coming cheap you never know if radiation has been taken care of. Hence with china phones it is better to use handfree kit or bluetooth headphones (it works with bluetooth headphones - atleast my model does) Cheers Bobby

Hey Guys, The echo problem has nothing to do with the network... It is the handset.... rather the way you hold the handset... If the small opening from where your voice reaches the mike, touches your cheek (is covered), the person on the other side of the call will experience echo (will hear his own voice coming back to him)....... So if the other person on the call complains about echo..... just keep the lower end of your phone a lil away from your cheek (don't touch it to your cheek)........ That's it ! Try it... It works........ Bobs
