      mg5077 which carrier can I use on it?

      You buy the phone for the carrier that you want. What carrier are you looking for?

      mg5077 can TAG or other filtering services block this phone?

      You'll have to ask them, although you can remove the browser yourself.

      mg5077 is this a basic phone or a ..... ?

      Its consider a basic phone, but you can put on apps thru ADB.

              mg5077 All of the apps listed on Apps4Flip.
              As far as unmodified apps its a hit or miss on whether the app will work, but many unmodified apps will work.

                  anonymousflipphone Correct, but there may be loopholes. (I haven't found any yet.) Also you must remove the Wi-Fi calling package even if you block browser, otherwise the device will have internet access.

                      Apps4Flip-Admin Thank you! I'll try to update the post tomorrow with screenshots and ADB instructions to remove text, FM radio etc.

                        mg5077 If you trust yourself to only put on apps that are kosher its not that big of a deal, technically if you know how to modify apps you can put most apps on the other phones also. I'm not going to get in the the hashkafic discussion of why its different than a filtered smartphone. Some good news for you is that you need to put the apps on through adb, it wont work to just click on the apk on the phone like most others [once its modified] so you cant just install an app like apk pure and have a full fledged store right on the phone. There are also many device restrictions you can block with a password in addtion to any apps, such as security, wifi, and usb restriction.

                            Techgen All apps from apksure need ADB but I've found one (Zello) that can be Bluetoothed onto the device (or just put onto a SD card) but every app that I've tried from apkpure required ADB.

                                Techgen Are you sure? Was the software fully updated? (The software must be FULLY updated for Wi-Fi calling to work)

                                    chaimontherun Yes, I've researched it as well, it is not available for ATT. There are many small differences between the two versions

                                        chaimontherun Interesting, I can't say I tried every app, but anything I tried from apk pure or elsewhere only worked with adb

                                            Techgen I just wanted to add that you can also restrict factory resetting the phone with the built in restrictions app.
