It is a steal!
The price was phenomenal…construction is great for me (rugged)…it functions wonderfully, so far.
Amazon Customer –
Not unlocked as described!
I tried two of these they did not work as described with T-Mobile! I spent at least 45 minutes on the phone with T-Mobile trying to make it work? T-Mobile said the seller needs to unlock it! Sent both back.

Not Unlocked
While it is locked to T-Mobile it works great with tello. That is fine for us but someone expecting it to be unlocked will be disappointed and frustrated because if their cell service uses any other towers than t mobile the phone will not work and they will have to take time out of their day to return this. Soo I have to take a star off for saying it’s unlocked when it’s only half true. This phone only operates on T-Mobile towers and that should be clearly stated.As for the phone is very cool. The touch screen is great. I had to change the keyboard settings so it does not use the swipe feature otherwise it over responds to every touch. But once I disabled the swipe feature it worked perfect. Easy to navigate screen. Very solid rugged feel too this flip phone. I purchased it for my 15 year old son. He’s pleased. Great phone.

Excellent basic phone
Excellent “basic” phone, long lasting battery. Hooked up to a basic Mint service. Have made a couple of trips to South, SE and Midwest. Have not encountered any dead spots.

Durable and functional
It’s tough and works. However, it scrambled all the names and phone numbers from ppl I send and receive text messages from. Still works otherwise.

it is a pretty solid dumbphone – smartphone hybrid
I got this phone as a way to step back from my iPhone 12 and break free from the global smartphone addiction. I wanted to switch to either the Light Phone 2 or the Minimal Phone, but they were both on pre-order, so I found this awesome deal for under $70.Iâm not really a fan of the built-in T-Mobile apps since I use Mint, and I wasnât too keen on the Google apps either, at first.Coming from an iPhone, everything else feels pretty foreign to me. The number of messenger apps on the Play Store is just nutsâthere are so many that look alike! I donât get how people find that better unless youâre really into tech; it just feels like a drain on your time and energy to figure it all out.Once I got into the phone, I turned off all the non-essential apps like maps and Chrome. I downloaded Google Messenger and Google Contacts, which was cool because I can tweak my contacts and organize them from either my phone or computer.Now Iâm rocking this old-school rugged flip phone from around 2001. I can go all weekend without charging it, and folks over 40 always seem super curious about it. Their top question? âDo you have to use T-9 or re-learn it? I couldnât handle that!â But nah, it’s still a touchscreen with Android, and the text-to-speech feature is pretty handy. If you want to use it like a smartphone, Google Assistantâs there too, but it doesnât make it so easy that you end up mindlessly scrolling at dinner or while watching TV.Iâm still planning on getting a Minimal Phone for that Blackberry vibe with an e-ink screen, but this phone is perfect for anyone wanting a tough device to use while stepping away from the madness of Silicon Valley.

I am updating it to 5 stars. On a whim today, I decided to put my Visible sim into the phone to see if it would work. It does. It still says that the device is Network locked and not eligible to be unlocked. However, I have texted, made calls and am currently using the hotspot. (shrug)Original Review (3Jun24)This phone is locked to T-mobile network. I did try to unlock the phone; however, it says the phone is not eligible to be unlocked. Thankfully, it works with Tello (T-mobile MVNO). Still annoying, when it was supposed to be unlocked.The phone itself is nice and I knew what I was getting when I ordered it.

The phone I want has ZERO support from carriers or MFG.
This would be the perfect generic flip phone with just the features you need.The phone I received does not have VoLTE enabled. It is an easy check in the settings.You could go to some random websites and upload this and download that, but, I’m not going there with a brand new device.It appears that my T mobile carrier “could” push the VolTE through the sim, but they refused. Carrier claimed it was obsolete.I like this phone and wanted it to work but the carrier and Mfg. both must enable it and allow it together.They don’t.

We wanted a simple cell phone to be left in the car for emergencies. This fit the bill. My husband isn’t a fan of smartphones and doesn’t need or want any of those features. He just wants to be able to make a call if he has to. He likes the big tactile buttons and that you just have to flip it open to answer. While it is bulky and heavy, it’s perfect for him because he can feel the weight of it in his hand and not have to worry about dropping it. He found it pretty easy to learn to use once I had it set up. I was able to use photos to label the numbers in his phone so he can more easily select who to call (as opposed to squinting at the small text). We store it in the glovebox 24/7 and it’s turned off except when needed. So far, it’s lasted 4 months and is still working on the initial charge. The heat hasn’t seemed to bother it; I’m hoping the cold won’t either.Although when it boots up it says T Mobile, my Lucky Mobile SIM worked perfectly in it. It’s clearly unlocked but is somehow stuck with the T Mobile branding on startup which is not an issue at all.

Didn’t work with any sims. I tried Optus and Telstra, both failed to be detected. Don’t buy if in Australia.

Update: got new battery, still less than a day battery life. Given up on this phone now and moving on. Would not recommend.The phone is everything it is suppose to be. Everything is amazing, T9 word has a glitch where it won’t put a space in between the current word and the predicted next word when you select it. Kind of annoying but I live with it. This phone is HARDY and WILL take the abuse of life. It is ALMOST everything they advertise. The battery is bad, real bad. If you talk or text regularly you will not make it through the day with a charge. 3 hours into the day with no talking or texting I will lose 10% battery life. It won’t last 24 hours on a charge, maybe 12-14. I might have gotten a bad battery but this a major down fall for the phone I got. Otherwise its good, will be buying a new battery for it soon and hopefully that fixes the issue for me.

Bigger than a classic flip phone. Its footprint is almost as big as iPhone 14 pro, but it’s almost twice the thickness of an iPhone!I bought it for construction work. Feels like a toy phone because it’s so big, so its a little embarrassing to open in public, but it’s sturdy and it’s going to be a great dumb phone. It’s heavy, but I won’t be carrying it around in my pocket, I’ll be keeping it on my desk or in the truck. If you want this in your pocket often you’re going to want a smaller phone.I have a feeling I could drive over this and it would be fine. The system is a bit gimmicky to me, but once I deleted all the unnecessary apps, it will work fine as a phone for calls. The screen is a touchscreen but isn’t big enough to be useful for smartphone things. It came with a lot of the newer apps that I wouldn’t expect to be on a phone with a small screen – like Youtube.Overall, if you are ok with the massive size of the phone, I think it’s a good purchase. Works fine on 4G with Koodo sim card, even though it says it’s a T-Mobile phone.

I love this phone. It’s been a great time-saver and has allowed me to make better use of my time. It’s great for transit apps and listening to music, but you won’t find yourself doom-scrolling on it. It’s also built very soundly; I’ve dropped it quite a few times, and it remains entirely functional and is aesthetically the same as the day I purchased it. I’m hoping they don’t discontinue these anytime soon because I intend to use this phone for a very long time.
