CECT P168 - iPhone Clone

CECT P168 - iPhone Clone

You probably have heard of the Meizu MiniOne, which is an Apple iPhone clone (though the specification is better). Here is another iPhone clone from China, the CECT P168.

The CECT P168 looks really like the iPhone, even the wallpaper has been copied. The CECT P168 has a 3.5-inch QVGA LCD touchscreen, a 2 Megapixel camera (actual resolution: 1.3 Megapixel). It has integrated music player, video player, dictionary.

The CECT P168 has two SIM card slot, unfortunately you can’t use the two SIMs at the same time but have to switch between them.

    I have a CECT P168. I live in Southern California. This is the best phone I have ever had. It works on the 3 carriers I tried it with: AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. Iv’e had this phone for 5 weeks now with NO problems. The photos are as good as any other phone out there. The videos are, well from a cel phone! What do you want Hollywood quality? They are fine for whatever video you would take with a cel phone. I am waiting for 5 more to be delivered. Better get these before Apple does!

  35. Ammon Lee on August 28th, 2007

    This question is for Ken. How do you get the p168 to work with verizon were they don’t use sim cards?

  36. Ken Mackowiak on August 29th, 2007

    The Verizon World Phones use a sim card.

  53. Solo on September 11th, 2007

    Hey Carlo, has your problem with this phone resolved ? I have the same problem, I can call but cannot receive call, the phone will restart.
    I return it to the seller and they said it work fine with their network, they claim is my network’s problem. But I use Rogers, i am sure most ppl use this phone in Canada, uses Rogers or fido. so I cannot see that its my network’s problem.

  54. carlos on September 11th, 2007

    ya solo i use rogers too i sent it back and iam waiting so stoopid

  55. solo on September 12th, 2007

    Bob and javier,

    It’s NOT the phone. I have T-Mobile and AT&T (Cingular) and have had no problems what so ever. The phone is better than I expected. Just because you have problems, don’t knock the phone. Have either of you tried another carrier?

    My supplier is sending another phone back to me. But I suspect if the firmware is not wompatable with rogers, I will have the same shutdown when receive call issue.
    I wonder if anyone here can direct me to change the firmware on this unit to an older version, that supports Chinese ?

  64. Marsha on September 14th, 2007

    No one can tell me how to connect to the internet with this phone. I have a smart phone internet account package through AT&T or cingular. They weren’t able to help. The phone manufacture does not have a contact number or internet site that I can find. The phone doesn’t want to shut off using the key pad. The center key pad does not seem to be functioning. The manual that shipped with this phone is for a different model. Ebay sellar has not replied.

  65. Ken Mackowiak on September 14th, 2007

    @ kyubisharingan

    I just got mine from ChinaGrabber and it is BETTER than the p168… it is the Digitalrise D718i iPhone, has several more features and comes with silicone case, travel pouch, lanyard strap, and most importantly an ENGLISH manual (did some research and the cect clone has not english).. Anyways, here’s the link for it:

  77. robertc on September 18th, 2007

    is there any more site that i can get this item from or any other cell phones

  78. Ross on September 18th, 2007

    @robertc

    there are probably many more places but the thing is that most of them don’t have a manual, and are not very good quality - it pays in the long-run to go with a reliable source over a cheap source… i would definitely go with an American company that provides adequate accessories like manual, and extra accessories. DigitalRise D718i looks like it has the most functions of all of the iphone clones so I’d probably have to recommend:

    http://www.chinagrabber.com …..

    my friend got his yesterday and was happy :)

  79. Tony on September 18th, 2007

    I haven’t bought a phone from them but have bought other stuff from the deal extreme site (link above).

    The site says it comes with an instruction manual and I have had good experiences with other products I have bought from them.

  80. eMediaShop.gr on September 19th, 2007

    What OS use the P168??

    i ask because i want to know what applications i can install to this phone….

    and some traders tell that support java…and other that dont support java applications….finally…support or not??

    anybody knows any site for more information about this phone??


    and something else….i have read in a Chinese newspaper that CECT says that they don’t make P168, someone else they make it and provide this to the market as CECT…. anyone now if this is true???:S

  84. tony cogliandro on September 19th, 2007

    can anyone tell me if the phone uses microsoft outlook for the calendar and contacts and tasks, etc? that is my main concern. while i do take my computer with me to court there are times when it would be easire to pull out the phone and not wait for the computer bootup, and add in a few new court dates. the iphone is to darn expensive and the software is not compatable.
    and does it have wi-fi abilities? that is not a deal breaker but it would be nice.
    if anyone knows about the ms outlook please e-mail and advise.
    tony_cogliandro@hotmail.com

    i thank you in advance for any help you might give.

  93. joe on September 23rd, 2007

    carlo and solo i had the same problem. i took an older roger sim card from a friend and tried it. next thing i know the phone works fine. the problem is rogers upgraded their sim cards (version 4000)and they dont work well with the cect. you need to find an older sim card(version 3040). have rogers transfer your info from the card you have now to the older version 3040 sim card. you will find these numbers on your card.i had also tried a fido sim card and the phone worked perfect. good luck..

  94. […] After the break is a hands-in video on the CECT P168, an iPhone clone. CECT P168 features a 3.5-inch QVGA LCD touchscreen, a 2 Megapixel camera (actual resolution: 1.3 Megapixel). It has integrated music player, video player, dictionary. The P168 comes with 2 SIM card slots. […]

    Hey Dave…

    I still haven’t seen it cheaper than here,
    http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5179~r.23845165 ($159 with postage)

    So, don’t think you can get it for under $159… If you do see a cheaper price post back and let me know as I am waiting/saving to buy one.

  97. Ken Mackowiak on September 24th, 2007

    IMPORTANT…READ!!! DO NOT FORMAT YOUR SD CARD WHILE IT’S IN YOUR PHONE

    Take the card OUT OF YOUR PHONE then format it with the adapter IN YOUR COMPUTER. If you format it in your camera, you will lose half the capacity. 2 gigs will be 985.XX gigs and so on.

    what is the reason,
    please help,
    thanks in advance ,

  104. bigtimekicks on September 25th, 2007

    To Qamar

    You must use the touch screen.

    During a call, there is green image showing in the middle position near the bottom of the lcd display, which resembles a telephone. Use your finger or the stylus to click on it and you will get the dialing pad.

    For more information pls contact us by IM: bigtimekicks_service@yahoo.com

  105. Qamar on September 26th, 2007

    Hi i was just wondering if anyone knows how to get better reception on fido.Or if anyone else has a cect p168 on fido and if they are having the same problem

  111. Tonja on September 26th, 2007

    I don’t know about the HK/ China sites… I mean you have a Chinese Ms. Cumberland, and A fake Jordans supplier (Kicks are fake Jordans) up on this thread. DealExtreme,,, they deal in .99 cent merchandise :) ChinaGrabber (despite the name) is a US-Based company so they cover the payment / quality issues… from what i can see, they offer the most complete package and 2-3 day domestic (US)shipping:

    http://www.chinagrabber.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=174

    let stop having these chinese links, and turn this thread more into a support thread. Thanks

  112. dave on September 27th, 2007

  115. jimmi on September 27th, 2007

    when i plug my p168 into the computer it asks me to install driver mt6227 does anyone know why

  116. karen on September 27th, 2007

    I just recently bought a cect p168 GSM Dual Band 900/1800, Unlocked to ALL networks. so does this mean i wouldn’t have any problem w/ this phone here in the u.s.?

  117. Nadean McIntosh on September 27th, 2007

    No, you cannot use it in US if your phone only supports 900/1800MHz. It must support 1900MHz for At&T and T-Mobile. I bought a P168 from http://www.bluelans.com and it is a real tri-band cell phone.

  118. bigtimekicks on September 27th, 2007

    Nadean McIntosh, you are right and you can also recommend our bigtimkicks.com. real deal, best whole-process customer service.

  119. bigtimekicks on September 27th, 2007

    bigtimekicks.com, real deal there.
    Tri-frequency (GSM900/1800/1900) & english version has been set and tightened inspection is conducted before the shipment to our customers.

  121. Janny on September 29th, 2007

    I wish to know for those who has their P168 working and for those who doesn,t>? My question is for those who does? Do they have the right country and time setting and GSM provider list in their phone already? I live in Toronto, Canada however my phone doesn’t seems to have “Toronto” list in the country region setting, it has only Vancouver and Montreal but not Toronto…I wonder if it is why my phone is not progam to work in toronto>? Now my phone is not seeing my sim and showing no service?

  122. kirk ,NY on September 29th, 2007

    to MAy, If your phone asks for a NSP code that means your phone is locked. I recently bought one and had the same problem. I contacted china and they said phone was locked. So i returned it and they sent me a new phone. The new phone works great. this is a Tri-band phone, it should work automatically once u put your sim card in with any network code.

  123. May on September 29th, 2007

    thanks but no it didn’t ask me for the NSP code,. they said my phone is already unloced, but just it didn;t work at all.
    beside are you from the state or canada….??
    thanks

  124. Addison on September 29th, 2007

    Hi I just bought a CECT P168 but it says emergency. It reads my sim card but I can not call or received one. Can somebody help please?

    if you have order pls let me known.
    wait for you good news

  127. may on October 1st, 2007

    CECT P168 is a peace of crap. this phone is rubbish and noone could even come up with an answer of how to fix the problem. Even tho the phone is selling for just $1 is a waste of time and money to try. Once again this phone is crap worst phone I ever see.

  128. Alex- Greece on October 1st, 2007

    i am afraid…that i must aggree with you… :(

    i am not satisfied with mine…the only way to happy our phone…its to unlock it and to can put applications on it… :(

  129. Ken Mackowiak on October 1st, 2007

    THIS PHONE IS GREAT! Those that have problems need to read the instruction book, have a WORKING sim card, and take a little time to get to know the phone. Most of the problems that are being posted here seem NOT TO BE PROBLEMS, but people trying to use a phone that they have no idea how to use. You MUST have paid for your sim card, either Pay as You Go or contract. Make sure you have PAID for DATA service before trying to set up your WAP internet. Know how to use the stylus. Set up your cameras specifications, be in an area OR country that lets you use this phone, etc, etc. Just because a few of you can’t get your phone to work, don’t assume others can’t. Saying this phone is garbage is like saying a car is garbage because you don’t like the way it handles. Give this phone a try, make sure it’s compatable with your cell company and/or country and learn all about it’s features. If you do that you will say this is the best phone (pda) you have ever had! ***I DO NOT SELL THESE PHONES OR HAVE ANY CONNECTION WITH THEM OTHER THAN BEING A HAPPY OWNER.** I DO OWN A REAL iPhone, but THE P168 BEATS IT IN ALMOST EVERY WAY. (it DOES need wifi though).

  130. Jason Glass on October 1st, 2007

    i just got the CECT P168 it is a cool phone. a lot better price than the iphone. i was hoping someone could answer a question. i put in my cingular sim card and it works great. it shows at&t cingular ans the carrier, and sends and recieves call fine. however the roaming icon is displayed at the top of the phone. does someone know if this means the phone is roaming?

  131. ray on October 1st, 2007

    Another question for ‘joe’ who posted on Sept. 23. My SIM card has the numbers 8930, 2720, 3030, 0297, 1456 (top to bottom). Which number is the version that I have? If I assume it is 3030, then it should be older than the 4000 and even the 3040, but still I cannot receive any calls. If anyone else can help, that would be great.

Then i noticed the reception was not all that i had expected… i stumbled acrossed this site i found and bought a cect-clone… the D99i by Digitalrise is not only a 2nd generation iphone clone, it has “motion-sensor” function, where you just “shake” the d99i to shuffle through the mp3 song playlists. i show it to my friends and they almost ***t their panties :)

    CECT Elected One of the Top Three ‘Most Trustworthy GSM Mobile Phone Brands’

    Qiao Xing Universal Telephone, Inc. (NASDAQ:XING) announced today that “CECT,” the brand name of its subsidiary CEC Telecom Co., Ltd’s mobile phone products, has been elected one of the most trustworthy mobile phone brands in a public opinion poll initiated by China Electronics News (CEN), a newspaper sponsored by Ministry of Information Technology (MIT), and SOHU.com.

    On June 17, 2004, CEN and SOHU.com initiated a public opinion poll named “The Most Trustworthy Brands of Consumer Electronics” by posting questionnaires in newspapers and on websites. The poll lasted for 50 days, during which thousands of e-mails and letters of vote were received from all over the country. Among the local mobile phone brands, “CECT” was elected as one of the top three brands in the “Most Trustworthy GSM Mobile Phones Brands” category.

    Mr. Wu Zhi Yang, CEO of CECT, said, “I am pleased that CECT was granted such an honor. I believe the main reasons for our success are as follows:

    “First, CECT positions itself at the edge in terms of technology relying on its strong R&D capabilities and partnerships with global leaders such as QUALCOMM and BenQ. CECT was the first one in China to develop SmartPhones and Mini PDA SmartPhones.

    “Second, CECT has launched more than 50 different models of mobile phones and each has been designed specifically to satisfy the needs of particular consumer groups.

    “And third, CECT’s mobile phone products have reliable qualities, multiple functions and competitive prices.

    “The trust from consumers is a intangible asset for us. It creates favorable market conditions and helps us market our products more effectively. We shall take most advantage of such conditions and strive to be a bigger player,” concluded Mr. Wu.

    About Qiao Xing Universal Telephone, Inc.

    In August 1995, Qiao Xing Universal Telephone, Inc. became one of the largest and first telephone manufacturers in China to receive the ISO 9001 Quality System Accreditation award. The Company currently distributes over 200 models of corded and cordless telephones through an extensive network of more than 5,000 retail stores throughout China. In May 2002, Qiao Xing’s 80 percent owned subsidiary Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. acquired a 65 percent interest in CEC Telecom Ltd (CECT), which was formally approved by all the necessary government authorities on 8 Feb 2003.

  182. Miguel Cabrera on October 14th, 2007

    This phone looks really cool and for the fragment of the price of a “real” Apple iPhone! Go to YouTube to check out the various videos of this gadget’s many functions. If you just need a good mobile videoplayer I’d recommend the fab Archos 605 WiFi which I’ve got. It has a maximum storage of 160 GB’s and a 800×480 pixels, 4.3″ TFT LCD 16 mill. colors touchscreen. http://www.archos.com

  183. BWA on October 14th, 2007

    I also bought the cect p168 but how do I listen to the voice mail? Normally you need to dial your own number but when you do it says unable to connect. Why? Something wrong?

    Thanks in advance

  184. Ash on October 15th, 2007

    after doing about an hour of researching this phone on the net and getting know where i did the smart thing called my damn provider and i found out the fallowing:

    You can not change the sim just by putting a new one in. you must call the provider you want and have the phone activated with that company.

    the reason the phone frezes on you is because the new soft wear installed on the phone is steal prof. if you do not have it activated with your sim card from the company you want it with it will frez.

    There is not a problem with the phone itself. They got smart and installed a anti theft program.

    I hope that answers everyone’s issues.

    $199 for the amazing iphone.
    Triband GSM 900/1800/1900MHz

    Worldwide shipment.

    http://www.bigtimekicks.com/product_info.php?products_id=5623

    Check this link, you will know our products are of unquestionable quality.

    English version set before the shipment, inclosing with the English instruction.

    You can use any major carrier’s SIM card. That means this phone comes unlocked to any network. But the user must purchase SIM card from one of the major carriers like Cingular or AT&T. pre-paid phone sim card will also work.

    Just plug a SIM card into it and it will find the network and start working like a charm.

  194. Christopher on October 21st, 2007

    I have had this phone for about 2 weeks now, and I feel it is a great product. I can pretty much answer any and all the questions I have read above. I know a few extra tricks that aren’t mentioned above as well — i.e. how you can convert you mp3 to ring tones easily. I do have one question for anyone out there - How do i get the phone to work with t-mobile’s internet? I can not send picture mail nor connect to the open web. Other then question, I love the product. The alarm in this phone can wake the dead. lol Also the best way to appreciate this phone is to set your shortcut keys to your preference. If anyone needs any additional info please feel free to e-mail me at plaboyz@yahoo.com. Also the camera is amazing try playing with the functions.

    Just ordered the phone and cant wait to get it. Just interested in knowing if anyone has used this phone on the Suncom network. I’ve noticed most people have Cingular, AT&T and Sprint but no one has mentioned Suncom. Let me know if u have Suncom and if you are satisfied. THANKS
