Pros and Cons

Pros3

Tracfone piggybacks off all three major carriers--t-mobile, verizon and at&t. Sprint merged with t-mobile in 2020). Love this phone.

Bought 2 so far for the grandkids. Got the most bang for the buck. Good volume from speaker.

Replaceable battery--increasingly unusual these days. Rapping the back, slightly--or opening it, and pushing in the battery better--solves.

Cons2

Tracfone is a successful capitalist and more importantly saboteur. Helpline keeps disconnecting.

Took the batteries out & tried the process over 12 times. Found out that there is no sim card as mentioned in product details. Sim card appears to be damaged and very little battery life.

Pros3

Engineering internally is superb with 3 flex antennae and very simple construction. Reception seems very good. The games pre-installed are fun.

Dual sim dual standby. Can handle mms. Glte/volte compatible on the first sim slot.

Used for 2 months in an attempt to do some dopamine detox. Wifi drains the battery quickly, so if used as a hotspot, get extra power.

Cons5

The keypad has a lazy construction, one step above rubber sheet style. This makes it extremely difficult to even enter your mailbox password. Un-removable bloat ware and no configuration of the home screen.

It seems nokia has no interest in this phone or the people who buy it, which is disappointing. The kaios store is almost useless and you can't side-load 3rd part apps. Other apps updates fail so it seems nokia gave up software support for this device ...  Read More

Have zero interest in playing those, but they can not be unloaded. The overall hardware quality is not great. It feels very cheaply made. And it feels very cheap and * compared to how perfect the nokia 3310 was.

Looks like an old landline phone haha. It completely defeats the purpose of having a dumb phone.

The phone as sold does not have the api settings for using the wifi hotspot function. Until nokia fixes this problem, the phone is unusable on at&t. Another annoyance is that you can't set the phone to use predictive text automatically.
