Nokia 2780 Flip | Unlocked | Universally Compatible with All Mobile Carriers | Black

No WhatsApp support ...

Not working in UAE 4g bands. The app store is limited. Size is too big for a feature phone.

This flip phone is exactly what an a teenager who is addicted to social media needs. It allows my child to make and receive phone calls, as well as to do basic texts. A simple call to T-Mobile customer service on her prepaid Sim card plan allowed me to shut the data off. It does have Wi-Fi so if your goal is to eliminate social media, you’re going to have to block this device on your router. I have Comcast and it allows me to Restrict Wi-Fi access based upon each device attached to the network. Don’t underestimate your child’s ability to find other Wi-Fi sources, but the operating system on this phone render it relatively useless. The phone can still access the Internet through an installed browser in the operating system, but it’s fairly rudimentary and , I suspect that it in effect eliminates the desire for social media since it’s so difficult to type out a sentence on a numeric keypad. So my recommendation is 1) buy this flip phone 2) get a T-Mobile, prepaid Sim card and pair it to your child’s cell phone number after you’ve ported the number to T-Mobile 3) select the $10 a month prepaid plan 4) call T-Mobile customer service and ask them to shut off the data on that phone number. They will give you our time and tell you that that isn’t an option, but it is an option and you just need to continue to insist on it and speak to a supervisor if they aren’t willing or able to do what you’re asking. 5) finally, block, access to Wi-Fi on your router for this device. If you do those five things, you may have a chance to have your child back and hopefully pull them away from the devastating draw of social media.

Ad says its universal to all carriers but we have not found it to be so. Will try to get advice from local telstra shop after the festive season when they are more likly to be helpful. Has been un useable . very disappointed.

Bought this for my mom but had to return because there’s no Whatsapp and Facebook app which we wanted to use to chat and data call her. Overall a very good phone for senior people but only for calls and texts.

This does NOT come with a Uk plug only an american plug!!?

Mi papá tiene 69 años, y desde hace años, solo sabe usar los celulares de "tapita". Con el pasar de los años ha sido muy difícil conseguir, siempre son celulares de marca zuum o algo por el estilo. Pero no duran ni 2 años. Como son equipos muy baratos, siempre se le compra uno nuevo que encontremos en el mercado. Cuando vimos este equipo y vimos que ya tenía tecnología 4G y llamadas VOLTE, o sea, un equipo con tecnología de un smartphone, no le pensamos. Teclado fácil de usar, buen sonido y una claridad de llamadas como nunca. Estamos muy felices, tanto que compramos 1 equipo adicional para reserva en algunos años. Lo usamos con TELCEL y sin problemas. No funciona para redes ALTAN.
