It Likes T-Mobile And Is A Good Dumb Phone
I wanted a dumb phone. I want a no frills dumb phone that calls and texts with no Google, no annoying baloney apps that comes with smart phones I don't need that. I also love the Nokia brand, so for me, this was a winner. Everybody is right, despite being an "unlocked phone", this phone loves T-Mobile sims/network. Activating the phone, setting it up, it took to T-mobile with no issues. Having used old skool Nokia's, I felt right at home using this. The Predictive Text feature came switched off, and is a little more expanded from the earlier Nokias. Battery life is legendary Nokia, will last more than smart phones. Gone is that solid, thick plastic, brick feel of the early Nokias that were indestructible. The battery cover is very thin, and feels like you could shatter it just trying to open the cover. If you drop the phone, I'm sure it would be toast. The edges don't have that sturdy feel either. The drop-proof, kick proof reputation that Nokia had is gone. To counter that, i did buy an after market silicone cover specific to this phone.
There's not much else I can add, this is a basic dumb phone that fits the bill.
I hope Nokia keeps on with the basic dumb phone that lacks smart phone features. There is purpose and need for these type of phones.

Very basic. No "bells/whistles" phone.
Hint. Go to an at&t store to add sim and activate. Don't waste your time trying to contact AT&T for service. I wasted hours on AT&T chat and phone and got nowhere. Also note this is a VERY basic phone and be ready to spend time setting it up. Speaker set a highest level not very loud for hearing impaired. This phone was very cheap but works fine to emergency use as a phone. I have an AT&T prepaid account with talk only for $25.00/quarter ($0.25/minute plan) which is all I need. Negative is SMALL display and print also their automatic lock is a pain when you sign on. But it's all I needed to replace my gophone (flip phone).

Has no Arabic language
I bought this to use it with my other Sim card since I need it for the “one time code” so this phone has no Arabic language, the text message will come as squares and dots, it’s unreadable but in general it’s good when it comes to the battery life and the size of the phone

Swedish pointy-haired boss and Swedish Dilbert
You all know Dilbert, the electrical engineer who is oppressed by the silly orders from his nameless boss.
This is like that.
My carrier is switching networks and I had to get a new phone. The phone I really wanted on Amazon says that delivery could take till March. So...
Here are the essential features missing from this:
* Predictive dictionary for texting. If you have a small phone which can't have a QWERTY keyboard it is still practical to text if you can press MNO - ABC - MNO and the phone guesses you mean "Man".
*An adequate speaker. This is amazingly weak at its top volume so can't be used hands free. Well, unless it's Bluetooth tethered to a speaker.
Loads of worthless features were loaded on:
* It doubles as a 1960s transistor radio.
* It has 2 cameras. They could have left that off and used the space for an adequate speaker.
* It has a browser for the internet. Without a QWERTY keyboard no one can make that work.
* It has Facebook.
* It has games. The thought that went into that should have been spent on a predictive dictionary.
So my impression is the boss ordering the engineer to add a list of junk features and ignoring his objections that practical features are needed. Y'now the stuff that Scott Adams cartoons about.
And despite the ad above, NO, 4G does not give you clearer calls. It's been 30 years since digital sound removed static from calls.
Now it's time to tether it to the Bluetooth in my van. I'm going to add a laptop to the van when I need to get on the internet and when I'm not in a wifi hotspot such as the parking lot of a big store I will use Bluetooth tethering to a phone. This phone can at least do that.

Not made by Nokia
The warranty that came with this phone indicates a Chinese company is the maker, and probably has a license to use Nokia's name. I didn't want to pay hundreds of $ to buy a smartphone when I don't use 90% of the functions/apps loaded on an Android device. This phone came with a handful of pre-installed crappy apps (like facebook and several games) that can't be removed. There is also a weird browser that couldn't connect to the internet, and there is no Wi-Fi so I can't check my Gmail. The "check for software update" function did not work. Texting requires several clicks to enter each letter of a word, and there are no word suggestions offered. Creating a text message is therefore a ponderous task. Buying this phone was a mistake and I will be returning it.

Great "dumb" phone, unfortunately will not work with AT&T
The phone works as advertised. Not many bells and whistles, but perfectly fine for calls, texts, and fitting in my pocket.
I "upgraded" to this phone in January 2021 from the old Nokia 3310 3G phone to address AT&T's coming discontinuation of the 3G network in Febrauary 2022.
***While this phone is 4G compatible with most wireless networks, both AT&T and Nokia confirmed to me that this phone does not support "HD Voice," which is a requirement to run on AT&T's 4G network.*** I caught on to this when I noticed my network coverage icon on the phone switched from LTE to 3G every time I made an outgoing call.
If I had a carrier like T-Mobile, it would be everything I need. If you buy this phone, confirm that you will not be operating on any of AT&T's towers, or you will not be able to make an outgoing call. I have not confirmed whether or not incoming calls or SMS is affected.

How to Fix the Text Message Timestamp Issue
09/2022: This fix will no longer work, since the 3G bands were retired the phone can only make calls with VoLTE turned on.
—
The text message issue is caused by the device getting time and date info from the network. I was able to resolve this by turning off VOLTE (Voice over LTE) and then resetting the connection to the 4g network.
1) Open settings.
2) Connectivity > Network Settings > Network Type -> 3G/2G
3) Back to settings.
4) Scroll to the bottom - VoLTE - switch off for SIM 1
5) Back to settings.
2) Connectivity > Network Settings > 4G/3G/2G
You will know you have done this correctly when the signal icon next to the battery shows LTE, but not VOLTE.
So far, this has resolved it for me even after restarting the device. Best of luck.
Update: it’s been a year and it’s still fixed and working great.

Low Cost backup phone
I needed a low cost backup phone to have on me when I work on construction projects. I don't want to carry my smart phone on me when it might get dropped or broken (again), but I needed a phone where I can be reached if I leave my expensive phone in the truck, This works great as a backup, using a pay as you go plan, its very low cost with low usage. But if I run over it with heavy equipment, or loose it in a ditch, I haven't lost much. It has been years since I used this type of phone, but I don't text or surf the web with it so it works for my emergency needs. Keeps my daughter from looking for me if I don't answer the main phone.

Nokia is using an ad-supported web browser
UPDATE: Something on this phone is using data in the background. I am not signed into anything, and none of the user-visible apps can remain active in the background. It is using small amounts multiple times every day, for a total of about 150kb daily. Nokia can't tell me why their phone does it (one of those non-removable apps? The ad network I describe below? User tracking?) and suggests I go into the network settings and disable data every time I am not using it! This is unethical in general, and really bad for a phone you might get to use on a prepaid plan with little or no included data.
Original review:
I don't need the web browser for too much on a phone like this. Google stuff, check news headlines, and occasionally open a confirmation link. But I do need it to be there which is why I got this model. Most other basic phones no longer have one.
Nokia decided to use Opera Mini's proxy/compression browser (the ONLY one on the phone, there is no straight text browser). This is really cool, except for one thing. Opera mini now hijacks links on websites and redirects you to full page ads. I don't know how often this will happen, but I've had 3 of them so far. I checked the page info when the ad was displayed, and as you can see from the URL in the picture these are OPERA'S ads. Not the website I am on. Not a common ad network. I go to a website, click a link on that website which should link to a normal page on that website, and the browser instead sends me to its own ad system. When the ad is displayed, there is a button under it to "continue browsing". Clicking that (rather than the ad itself) sends me to a feedback page where Opera wants me to say why I didn't like the ad. Seriously, Nokia, I thought I owned this phone?
Also, it's EXTREMELY slow at loading pages sometimes. It will just hang for a minute.
Most of the phone's other features are fine, but this browser setup is just too yucky and creepy. It's almost like having a late 1990s browser infected with a virus.

Just got it today
Works good so far. My old backup flip phone bit the dust and this was a good, cheap replacement. Just popped to the Sim card out of the old one and put it in the new one and it did the rest. Hopefully lasts me a while. Separate line for my business number and calls but usually forward it to my smart phone and that feature works fine. Very good buy for the money and Nokia is a reputable brand. I've used their phones before and never had any issues with them.

TURN OFF VoLTE!
By default VoLTE was turned on for this phone, and that messed up text messaging AND broke the predictive typing for text. Under the Settings menu you can flip VoLTE right off. I had to turn the phone off and on again after doing that, then predictive typing worked again.
It is unfortunate that VoLTE must be disabled in order for text to work, but if you just need a basically functional dumb phone, this one works fine after that.
And also it worked fine for me on T-Mobile, no issues at all.

Not set up for use in U.S. Had to change all settings
Don’t buy this. When activated it didn’t always work. In coming calls went to voicemail without even connecting to answer it. Out going calls drop or are unable to hear. Will suffer through until we can afford a better phone. Then this goes into the trash!

Addiction-resistant (if you get rid of Snake…)
I prefer not spending a quarter of my day glued to a screen.
Enter the cell phone of my parents’ generation, with just enough similarity to make it user friendly for me and nostalgia-invoking, but in an updated version to allow for a lot of the modernity that had made its way into being since the 1990s.
It’s great- it’s a super functional cell phone, and easy to use (it’s not a cumbersome “dumb” phone that serves as a glorified walkie talkie), and it’s non addictive, and simply doesn’t function to allow one to walk around like a robot checking one’s feed every thirty seconds.
I must admit, though; that I did find myself playing snake for a long time. When I realized I had clocked more than an hour, I deleted the games. No point in replacing a zombie state of being with another…

Does not connect sometime...
This phone is nice looking, pretty, has a good camera but You will miss calls, it does not connect, or it takes a long time to get a dial tone.
ex. If I ask for a code to confirm myself thru a bank, sometimes I will not get the code until an hour later or not at all.

Great Phone with only a couple drawbacks
The phone worked well, and did exactly what was expected of it other than a couple problems. For one, GROUP MESSAGING IS NOT SUPPORTED! The only way to make a group sms is through GroupMe. If you try to start a standard sms group chat it will just send the message to each person individually. And if anyone texts you from a group chat, it will look like the message is coming directly from them. My other problem was that sms messages were being received at a few hours behind the actual time. I think this was a carrier problem. My first solution was to turn off Voice over LTE, and that solved my problem for a few weeks, but then one day during my vacation in Hawaii it started displaying incorrect time stamps again, even though Voice over LTE was off. My carrier was US Mobile on the GSM network which is basically T-Mobile. Hopefully you have a better chance with it if your using it with AT&T or with T-Mobile directly.

Basic Phone that is Basically Good
Call, text; and that's all I wanted in a phone. T9 works, but not well. Typing numbers is possible while in T9 either by cycling through your choices, or holding down the key, but holding down a key takes more than 3 seconds to get a number, and trying to type 0 (which you'd be surprised how often it's used) takes time; and for some reason enters all numbers prior to 0 if your next key press is a space (also the 0 key).
T9 dictionary works sporadically. Sometimes it remembers words/names you've taught it, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it does for a few minutes, a few hours, a day or two, and then has no memory of the word it was taught.
The phone randomly freezes when unlocking. The only remedy is to pull the back off, take the battery out, and put it back in. It's not terrible, but it is really inconvenient.
It can receive photos, but there is a size limit - you will get messages about the size being too big. You can also only receive so many MMS until you have to delete them. The answer doesn't appear to be giving it an SD card for memory, you can save your received MMS to the SD card, but if received photos are just taking up too much space on the phone, it won't download them. So, if you send/receive a lot of picture messages, know that you will have to move them to an SD card if you want to keep them, and delete them from the phone's storage.

Seems set up for use in EU rather than NW USA. Arrived quickly
As delivered, the instructions were in several languages, but not English. The battery charger supplied has a plug for EU power outlets. But any older micro-USB charger works fine.
It does not seem able to work with any GSM provider in Portland Oregon, unlike my older Nokia 105.
The FM radio works well. I like the large screen and battery life.

major issue with texting and with mp3 files.
like others have said, the texts on this phone are sent and recieved out of order, making it extremely difficult to follow back-and-forth texts. it makes calls just fine. the mp3 player is really bad. all files coming into the phone are compressed so even on headphones the songs sound bad. it also for some reason simply does not play any song after the 100th song. as in, if you have 150 songs transferred onto your phone, only 100 of them will be playable. the other 50 will still be seen but you can not play them.
but its $30. you get what you pay for. im gonna keep using it til it breaks.
