    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"?

            If your having problems with verizon on the F21 Pro it might help to go to verizon and ask them for a new 5G sim card, It should work than. (It worked for me) It also works great with the Verizon MVNO usmobile.

            Does anyone have The kyocera XT9 apk pulled? Would like to try to play around with installing it on the fig, also anyone had any success installing flip phone message+ on it? not working by me...

            Flippy listen as far as i know, even if the phone supports at&ts bands and has volte capability it still wont work unless its explicitly on the white list. well that was the status quo a few months ago.

                  Helix_X_Dome Somewhat true. But sometimes even ones that ARE on the list dont work unless you have the correct APN settings. And sometimes ones that are NOT on the list will work with the correct APN settings. Thats just how it is in my experience.

                      Helix_X_Dome Yes, same story with all 3 of the major networks with this phone, most of the time, it's okay, but oftentimes you run into an issue, and you have to deal with it, which is never fun.

                        I bought a prefiltered f21 in Israel and im not sure which version it is (I've seen others bought in America that were a bit different) does anyone know whether the version they sell in Israel works in America with usmobile?

                          Jit’s bought it planned to get ATT. I just saw this chat and I’m starting to get sceptical about it. Will ATT work or not?

                                I got this phone and it is working fine.
                                With the us mobile gsm (white sim card)

                                Does anyone know of a filter that i can install in this phone? Adb or any other of this type of fillters?
