  • New FIG Kosher Phone

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)

                  Flippy tried multiple ATT mvno sims. Only once did it work. Should not be advertised that "its compatible with all major USA networks".

                      I firmly agree, I am just stating my experience with it.

                      What is the meaning of:

                      chaimzalman Only once did it work

                      smart Also need to play around with the APN's

                        Let be me very clear about the Fig Flip; Any of the 3 networks may take some effort to get it working right, even T-Mobile sometimes has some issues with it. Its just the consequence of using remodeled chinese parts (and we all know what I mean by chinese... even if Apple makes their phones in China too....)


                        Most people just pop a SIM in and have no issue, while other's face many problems. If you want to try this phone, be prepared to work a bit to set it up. Or better yet buy from somebody that know the phone and the services and can help you set it up., Not from the website or a random ad. And know the software is also a bit half-baked and needs a bunch more updates. (Also note that as of today's update, there is no more video player/recorder)

                        Flippy lol help for what? The phone is not approved to work with carriers in the USA. Just because there are workarounds doesn't mean they wont kick you off the network in a month or two.

                            chaimzalman True, but AT&T just did most of their kicking a few months ago, and made a huge mess, I doubt they are going to do it again anytime soon...
                            Don't you want it to work at least "for now"?
