Just heard about a new kosher phone that came out with pre installed kosher apps anybody tried it already out? https://figkosher.com/

I have used the non kosher version. The physical keyboard integration is not that good. Found it similar to the CAT flip phone.

darth where can i buy the non kosher one?

Xiaomi Qin F21 Pro. Now there is already an Pro+ model! Btw i heard from people that are very happy with the phone.

Does the phone work with Verizon?

chaimzalman somewhat. Not officially approved but seems to work if Verizon doesn't kick it off... MVNOs work okay..

Techgen $84 for the non-kosher. The Kosher one is $229

have the older version sold in Israeli phone stores (without touch screen or camera) pretty easy phone to use though i don't think there's T9 which makes texting a drop difficult, could be the newer version from FIG has it....

Flippy you tried it? Because i heard from a store that it doesnt work on ATT...

Flippy

chaimzalman I tried ATT direct and it worked. ATT MVNO's are a different story Cricket definitely wont work, but h20 should work with enough effort. Try all the APN's posted online, or call them.
smart You have to set the correct APN setting (sorry dont have it on me to post)

Techgen

Flippy How did they get this one approved, but not the first version?

Flippy

Techgen Its not officially approved by ATT

Techgen

Flippy So how did they avoid being shut down?

Flippy

Techgen Mystery to me

csp Any MVNO that checks IMEI's (tracfone, MetroPcs, Cricket, etc) wont work on the fig

Reifam It is android all over with just the addition of a basic phone grid menu. Google contacts, google messages...

Techgen It all depends on the bands. AT&T US 4G (primary) bands are 2, 4, 12, and 17. The F21 doesn't have any of these bands. The Fig Flip has all of them.

I just got the fig flip and it doesn't work with my Total Wireless(which is a Verizon MVNO) sim card, I also tried it with a Selectel sim and it didn't work, it only worked with a US Mobile sim

chaimzalman

csp Where did you purchase it?

Reifam

csp does it have a good OS?

Flippy US Mobile is working but incoming Text is not working...
I'm able to make and receive calls, Sent text msg but not receive

chaimzalman

csp So which carrier does the phone work properly with?

Biden2020prez

csp T-Mobile or Verizon Based? I'm curious because T-Mobile based doesn't check IMEI, but Verizon based does?

csp

chaimzalman I tried with Ultra and Tello both T-Mobile MVNO's and they worked fine

Biden2020prez

csp Yeah T-Mobile doesn't check IMEI, which is why I'm curious whether you tried US Mobile Verizon or T-Mobile based.

Verizon based = black sim kit
T-Mobile based= white sim kit

When you use the T-Mobile based one, they don't ask for IMEI (Just like T-Mobile), but the Verizon one does (Does anyone know whether or not Verizon checks IMEI? I know my friend is able to just move his sim between phones with no repercussions). Metro, which is T-Mobile, does check SIM, and only recently stopped charging $15 to move your SIM card.

Maybe it has nothing to do with the tower it's based on, just what the carrier decides?

RGA

Someone I know tried it on a verizon MVNO and his SIM card got frozen.
These guys have to get their act together.

Flippy

azf I tried with a AT&T sim and a h2o sim and it doesn’t work.
