Perfect
This phone is outrageously good for 20$. Works with Mint mobile, which uses the T-mobile network; be careful here as I believe because some providers like AT&T dropped 2G phones, of which this is one. The phone is indeed unlocked, though I’ve heard that it helps to use whatever SIM card you have in a normal 4G/5G phone first for a bit then putting it in this. This usually bypasses phone networks’ restrictions on 2G phones. Also to avoid the mistake I made, I believe this phone uses a micro or something sized SIM; if you use a nano SIM which is what’s available on most modern phone it wiggles a little in the slot. It still works, but consider getting an adapter for the SIM.I just wrote way too much about this being a 2G phone, but really, this phone is awesome. It calls, texts, plays music fantastically (with a SD card), with easy-to-use and thoughtful UI (of course no fancy apps or app store). The screen is not large, but it is enough for everything you would do here. The phone is basically unbreakable; if anything the back case and battery might pop out but it wouldn’t stop working.

Unsatisfied
It doesn’t work. Had phone on charger 24 hours as instructed and it still didn’t fully charge. Case flimsy and cheap. Inserted SIM card kept receiving message saying install SIM card. Instructions were useless, all it tells you is charge phone and install SIM card

Perfect for what I needed it for!
Perfect for what I needed it for! For some reason (that makes no sense to my brother haha), I wanted to keep my old South FL home phone number. It originally went from a Landline, to Vonage, then to Ooma for 20 years. I switched to the free plan for Ooma (only playing taxes which came out to like $5+ a month). I then decided to take the journey to port it from Ooma to Google Voice. After about 16 days it finally ported over to Ting! Which led me to this phone.I cam looking on Amazon for a cheap unlocked GSM phone to use with Ting. This fit the bill. Decided to take a shot and it did what I needed. Took a little while with some searching on Amazon to figure out the thing cause the directions are pretty worthless. Used a nail clipper (I have no fingernails haha) to pry it open. To do that on the bottom right (as in my 2nd pic) just pry in the groove there and it’ll come apart eventually. You’ll prob have to work around it to get it all off. Then after figuring the right position for the sim card (last pic) got that going. I first tried the top part thinking that’s where it goes, but it has to go all the way down. It works with Ting just fine! They got great customer service by the way. This was the cheapest way for me to port the number. I took a picture of the way the battery goes. It only goes in one way. I saw another question about using the flashlight, to do that you can access it from the menu or long pressing the 0 button that has the icon. To turn it on you long press the Phone icon on the right with the slash through it (and very little power icon I just noticed).Volume sounds really loud. Can’t comment on battery since I’ve only taken one call so far to verify my number with Google Voice. This phone screams perfect for kids to stay in touch with their parents. I think I’ll keep it as a backup phone and one to travel with (if that ever starts happening again) abroad. Overall outside of the lackluster instructions, it seems like a great phone for what it is.

Incompatible with just about every carrier out there
After receiving the phone, attempted to set it up with Tello, as that was a suggested “frequently bought together” pay-as-you-go phone service. Unfortunately, Tello said the phone was not compatible with their service. I saw that many reviews said it worked with T-Mobile, so I checked on their site, they also said it was not compatible. I then checked AT&T, Verizon, StraightTalk, and just about every other carrier I could find that had a way to verify coverage via IMEI, and every single one of them said it was not compatible. Returned the phone, but I’m still out $12 from setting up a Tello account before verifying the IMEI.

A little review of a little phone.
My experience with this phone has been frustrating. The phone, for what it is, and the low purchase cost is fantastic. It feeels a little cheap however I believe as long as it is not used to play kickball it wil be durable enough for a backup phone. I bought it for my daughter who called it cute. My frustration has been with getting a sim card that works. First I tried Mint Mobile, their products only work in smart phones. I am now working with red pocket mobile, the first sim they sent went ti a wrong address, my fault. The second sim was fubar. Today I am waiting on a third sim to be mailed out… So I have had this phone for a month and have yet to make a call. Also it has to charge 24 hours out of the box before it will work, so not a phone for anyone in a hurry or who dislikes spending hours on the phone with customer service.

Looks and feels like a nice device for the money. But unfortunately didn’t get reception in Calgary. So had to return it right away.

I cannot comment on the product itself however it’s a cute phone, convenient size as well. Found out after receiving the item that it was the Network capabilities on the device were not suitable for my region. The seller was quick to respond to my query and worked with me to resolve the issue. Excellent customer service!
