I had renewed my contract with iTalk Cellular in September 2008, a Nokia95 8GB on a procall 120 contract. The contract was supposed to consist of the Nokia N95 8GB and a blue tooth headset. At the time of renewing my contract, which was done by Fatima, she didn't inform me that this offer was "while stocks last" offer. When I received my phone in October 2008, I saw that the headset was not there and I immediately called her. She then informed me of the "while stocks last" offer. I told her since she failed to let me know this when I was renewing my contract, I want the headset. It was the only reason for me choosing this phone and package. I have been e-mailing and calling Fatima since then, but she sometimes doesn't take my calls or returns them. She's always giving me the runaround. I am really unhappy about the service I have received from iTalk and I have told Fatima that I am tired of waiting for something which I should have received last year. Thank you.

I purchased Nokia 2760 in October 2008. It stopped working in November 2008. I submitted it to Nokia Care Center at Patiala. They said that they have to send the handset to Noida for repair. I got it back after a month in working condition. It stopped working again on 12th Jul. 2009. I went to Nokia Care again. They said the handset has no repair seal or sticker inside. So you have to pay for repair charges. My handset is still in warranty. I called at customer care. No, they said they are helpless; they can't do anything regarding this. So tell me, should I throw this phone out? I'm capable of paying repair charges but why should I when the warranty is still on? If the handset has no seal or sticker inside it, that's not my fault. That's their fault. They have not done that. I think I should move to Consumer Court for justice now.

When my AT&T cell phone was damaged (not a warranty issue, dog chewed it), I bought another one via I-net at GSMonster.com. The phone died within the warranty period so I followed Nokia's instructions and sent it in for repairs. I received a note saying the receipt was not accepted (the one issued by the company selling their phones) because it did not have the serial number. Nokia kept my phone (and no doubt repaired and sold it as re-manufactured). I believe this to be a scam as a consumer can in no way influence a seller to provide impractical information on their receipts, that's Nokia's job, and they know fully well that the phone is covered, but use this sharp business practice to avoid warranty repairs. In addition, they steal your phone (I know, it doesn't work; it is the principle).

The screen of my cellphone got damaged, and I called Nokia for service. They said to send it to them, and they will charge me $100. I shipped it to them, and they said it takes 7 to 10 business days. I called them after 2 weeks, and they said they don't have the part yet; but the maximum that it could take is one month. If they don't have it then, they will send me a new phone.
Now it's been over six weeks, and they saying that there is nothing they can do. So what I'm asking for now is: either they send me a new phone or refund me the money because i bought the phone from them.

I ordered a very basic Nokia phone through Trac Fone last Fall for my job. I used it for about three months or so when I noticed that my head would literally hurt, right where I held my phone by my right ear, whenever I used my phone. I switched to a Motorola razor phone which I try to mostly use on speakerphone now, but if I ever have to put it near my ear, my inner ear starts hurting right away. Even when I put it near my left ear, my right ear noticeably starts to hurt! I'm very scared and fear that I have some type of brain tumor or something.

About 18 months ago my husband began cell phone service with Cingular and was given 2 Nokia 6010 phones. Since the use of this phone I have had burning, ringing, pain and bumps in both ears. I switch the phone to the other ear when it becomes too painful and will end the call much sooner. The pain will gradually go away after I stop use but it will take about an hour. I have had acute sinus and ear infections since the use of the phone and believe that it is the phone because other cell phones and land-line phones do not effect me.
Nokia is willing to test the phone providing we are willing to ship it to them for approximately 6 weeks. I do not want to send them the phone in case there is a manufacturing problem and they try to cover it up or keep the proof. I highly doubt they will admit their fault or that there is a problem. I wish to do independent testing on the phones but do not know where to go or what to do at this point.

I purchased a nokia phone while on holidays in italy in september. The phone has since stopped working. I took the phone into the above store to be assessed. After a week i was advised the phone could not be fixed, despite the fact i had a receipt as proof of purchase they would not exchange the phone, and will not cover anything under the warranty.
Do i forfeit my warranty just because i purchase the product in another country when it is supplied by NOKIA anyway?? I was advised to look up the address of a branch in italy and send the phone to them, i have tried to find the address through using their site, however it automatically reverts to italian when i select italy as the country, as i do not speak italian this does not help me! I have tried numerous places to help me find at least a contact, but no one can help! What can i do about this? I paid a substantial amount for the phone being 380euros so equivalent of apporx $600 australian. For a phone that i was only able to use for a few months this is not acceptable. Can you please give me some direction as to my rights as a very unsatisfied customer of nokia!

I've been using cell phones since 1997. I used to talk on the cell phone a lot, holding it against my ear. 2000, I started have headaches (lasted 1-2hrs after I get of the phone) when I talk on the cell phone for more than 30 minute, so I limited my time on the phone to less than 30mins. This worked for about 6 months. Then I started getting headaches regardless of how long I stayed on the cell phone (the longer I stayed on the cell phone the longer the headaches lasted, some times as long as a whole day).
I'm a business owner and I've gotten accustomed to having and using cell phones, so I was trying to find a way to make it work without killing myself. So 2003, I bought a Nokia with speaker phone option. I was happy now I no longer have to hold the phone against my ear, I thought. For 2 years I got no more cell phone headaches as long as I didn't hold a cell phone against my ear. 2005, I started feeling light headed during and after talking on the cell phone on speaker mode with the phone held about one foot from my head. So I bought a newer Nokia that promise a louder speaker. Now 2007, even with the cell phone held at arms length (3-4 feet) from my head, I still get light headed and headaches. Now a days, I've afraid of the cell phone; I text message mostly, or if I have to absolutely talking on the cell phone, I pick it up, put it on speaker, set it down on something stable and back away to a perceived safe distance of 3-6 feet.
My new plan is to get a cell phone that is bluetoothe enabled and have it integrated with my car stereo so when I'm mobile I can talk through my car stereo. This is because when I was on vacation 2 months ago I was talking on the cell phone using a car with bluetoothe wire into the stereo speakers and it didn't border me( it was just like listening to talk radio). But of course I'm not totally confident that this will work.

I purchased the Nokia 3155/3155i cell phone through my cellular company. It was not included in a plan, I paid full price which was $150.00 for the phone because I liked the style. I do not carry insurance on my phones, because I take care of them. Within 2 months of having it, it began to fall apart at the hinges. With out having insurance my cell company could not replace it. Nokia offers a 1 year warranty on their phones as long as damage is not physical. When I reported to them that the phone was falling apart I was told I had to pay to have the phone fixed. I was told that I had to have dropped the phone for it to come apart at the hinges.
Not only have I never dropped or mistreated my phone, but I was extemely offended by the accusation. I have researched user reviews over the internet and there are a million other people having the same problem with their phone and also have been told the same thing as I by Nokia. If there are this many people with the same problem I feel that particular phone model should be recalled. I am now sitting with a phone that has completely fallen apart and basically threw $150.00 in the garbage can. I would appreciate having this matter looked into. You will find there are many complaints by other users. Only when I confronted Nokis with it, they said they had not had any. Thank you for your time.

I purchased two Nokia phones under a promotional program offering a rebate of $50 per phone. I sent in all of the required information to the promotion and it was subsequently returned to me, with some of the material that I had previously enclosed, asking for exactly what I had already sent in. I called and verified that the information that I had sent was correct, and then re-sent the information.
Again, the letter was opened and then mailed back to me, requesting that I send in all of the information that I have already sent in. I have called the Nokia AT&T wireless Summer 2003 Mail-in Rebate offer at 888-600-4480 and have been told that I should re-submit the information a third time, although because at this point the offer has expired, I am not likely to receive my rebate. This is clearly a company abusing the concept of a rebate in order to withhold money promised to customers lured by a illusory promotion.

The Nokia 8290 cell phone is consistently breaking. They should have had a major recall. The digital display (LCD screen) is out. My husband has the same exact phone and he has already replaced his phone (through the manufacturer - Nokia) once, and the display is not displaying on this phone as well. In order to view numbers, calls, or any alpha or numeric characters or information you must press real hard on the LCD screen (digital display) and hold it while viewing.
Sometimes it doesn't view correctly even then. When you receive any calls in order to see who is calling you have to hold down and squeeze on the display screen as well. It obviously a manufacturer malfunction because they didn't charge us for the new phone they sent us (which is having the same problems). We have had these phones for about 6 months. The complaint is to inform other consumers of the problem so that they will avoid buying this product so that they will not have to deal with losing business or communication.

Last August I purchased a Nokia Cellphone from AT&T for my mother. At the time they were running a promotion; you would receive a $50 rebate from Nokia and a $25 gift card from Old Navy (it was called the Back to School Special). To this date I have not received the rebate or the gift card.
I've made numerous calls to the rebate center starting Nov. 26th. The first response was that the rebate was mailed and should be received in a few weeks/days depending.
By Dec.27 I still had not received anything so I placed another call and was asked to verify my mailing address and at that point I discovered that the address they had was wrong. After the address was changed I was told it would be another 6-8 weeks. Understandable. The date is now May 3 and I still have no rebate/gift card.
I have been making regular monthly phone calls and receive no result. The people are sympathetic but not helpful. The story varies from "There was a replacement rebate mailed you should receive it in 5 days-2 weeks" to "We're still waiting to verify that the original rebate check wasn't cashed since it was not returned to us." How long does that take? Is it necessary? Would I keep calling if I had already cashed it?

I bought my phone on 11-26-00. I mostly have used the phone for about 2 minutes. However the first three weekends where I have extended time to use the Nokia I developed bad headaches and become stomach sick while using the phone after about seven minutes. I used it for 30 minutes the second time and became headache sick and stomach sick for 12 hours. I tried the phone in two days after use for seven minutes and stared to become ill again while using the phone. My wife is a physician assistant and has been witness to these events.

I purchased a Nokia AT&T Wirless Cell Phone on 9/4/00 and a big part of the reason was because of the $50.00 rebate offer and a $25.00 Old Navy Gift Certificate. It stated on the form that it would take approximately 8 weeks. It has now been almost 4 months and I have yet to receive my rebate and gift certificate. I have called several times and each time was told that at first my claim was denied but they couldn't tell me why. I told them I sent all the information they requested which I kept copies of and they told me they would have it re-evaluated. I called back again and was told the same thing time a couple of weeks later.
Tim, the supervisor, told me that he was going to put the spreadsheet through and that I should be receiving a check in a couple of weeks. We are now talking the middle of January 2001. It has been frustrating to say the least. I don't know if this is a scam but I feel I have been treated unfairly. Why should I have to go through this when it's obvious to me they are making errors. It's ashame I'm being treated this way because I will never purchase a phone/service through them again. All I want is what was offered. That's all I am asking for.
