  • New FIG Kosher Phone

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?

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

      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.

          Cexpert I don't know if the mods would allow me to post the link but it is called "Xiaomi Qin F21 Pro", if you want to search it up.

              Reifam i thought he was talking about the fig flip that's what i want a link for

                  Is the fig f21 worthwhile? I saw someone has it with waze, uber, WhatsApp which I'd like. He said that a company on Israel filtered it for him.. Any way of replicating this here in the US?

                    looking4aphone You can buy the f21 here from Alibaba, and then filter it yourself or at TAG, see above discussion, in regard to the Band/carrier limitations of these phones.

                        Reifam I wanted the link for the new fig flip not kosher version that he said he found

                            Flippy Are you sure that TAG, Tags it?

                                  Reifam See [Login to see the link] post where someone says they can. See discussion above that for info on doing it yourself.

                                    Cexpert I don't think he ever found it. No moderator ever prevented him from posting a link to it, nor would there be any reason to, I think he was just bluffing or mistaken.

                                        chaimzalman Why don't you think it's proper? Why is it different than a link to the qin f21 pro?

                                            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)
