  • Pros
    great basic phone
  • Cons
    Can not get to email folders when connected to pc

I have found this phone to be a very good basic phone, I really do love it, the only problem I have come across so far, is that when you received a picture via a message, you cannot transfer it to your computer via software, you can save it in email message folders, or you can forward it on but as yet not found those folders showing up when connected to pc, a bit disappointing.

I have had many look at the phone and they cannot find a way to do this, my next step is to search on line to see if I can find a solution, considering the price when it was brought late last year was $288.00 and you cannot transfer pictures across to your pc, (you can transfer ones taken via the camera in this phone) I have had cheap 40.00 phones have a feature where you can transfer pictures sent to me via messages.

It may just be something I am missing, but others I have had a look at the phone from my tech department, have not found a way to do it either.

Apart from that one thing, I could not be happier; I don’t use it for the net, so I can not comment on its capabilities in that department.

It’s a solid phone; it pairs automatically to my ear piece after the first pairing, it does have all the usual features, very good range so far even in places where its known to have bad reception it does quite well.

    Chinese Touch phone

I recently purchase a .. Chinese brand Touch phone, not from Teltsra store..OMG, what a--Lemon, after 4 frustrating days with it we took it back, to which the customer service was excellent..So then we purchased thsi lovely easytouch phone from a wonderful ,consultant from Testra..I would reccomend this phone time & again, as its easy to use & has a good booklet & dvd on how to set it up etc, not like the Chinese Brand..Silch on info..

  • Pros
    Solid performer
  • Cons
    poor coverage for blue tick

Great phone, but fails with coverage, the T2 provides better coverage in rural areas. Have tested the T2 alongside the T3 and the T2 wins every time. Can't workout why.
