    Do any of you know anything about a phone called 'Bea-Fon c240' as I'm not big into phones [just call + txt] my wife got me one of these to replace my very old Nokia, although I only have it a day I'd say it's the worst phone in the world, it took 3 of us an hour to get the back off it to put the battery + sim card in--now when you attempt to txt you press the letter you want then the letter shows up at the bottom of the screen so now you have to press 'ok' to get it into your txt line[am I making any sense?] it also only holds 8 photo's. to make it worse all the instructions are in German. WTF???. DON'T EVEN THINK OF GETTING ONE OF THESE, Think I'll be going back to my old Nokia.:mad:

    You should probably consider replacing your wife too if she got you that.

    Get her to send it back and get a refund then buy a used Nokia from eBay to replace your old one. There are plenty to chose from for less money than your wife paid for that phone (€40)

    Return it, she replaced your old reliable phone from a very good brand with a just as old cheap phone from an unknown/dodgy brand. She could have easily just gone into a phone shop and bought a basic Samsung or Nokia for under 50 euro if she wanted to save money.

    Reminds me in the mid 90s when my then girlfriend got het first phone....

    " How do I insert a space when I'm sending a message" she asked me.

    Press the button 1 for a space I told her.

    Cue 5 mins later, and I get the following message on my phone.....
    I1am1so1wet1hahaha

    While she's sitting on the sofa less than a meter away from me.

    It does sound a bit crap. Get an Apple iPhone or a Samsung or else suffer the consequences

    Ignore that :pac:

    You can get a phone just as good for a fraction of those prices.

    Sell your wife and buy your own phone. You should get a few hundred dollars for her in the Tripoli market.

    The more I read the OP it sounds like she bought him one of those calculators for the elderly

    How much would you spend on a phone for peace of mind?

    If it doesn't have a vibrate setting then send it back as quick as you can for a refund

    Have you considered swapping it on Adverts? The new wife might be able to figure out how to use the phone.

    Eurogiant are doing micro sim unlocked phones for a tenner.

    Can't remember the full specs. But it has large buttons (OAP friendly) a torch and a UV lamp for counterfeit money detection etc.

    There was a thread on it in bargain alerts last week or so.
