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....

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?

McMonster Is there a way to get the israeli pre filtered version sent to the us?

McMonster

Idk. I got it in a random cell phone store

yossig

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?

Flippy

yossig Seems like they have a good return policy. Why dont you try it and let us know?

See earlier in this post for a discussion on that subject.

Anyway to install a filter that allows WhatsApp?

McMonster

looking4aphone The one i bought in Israel has a kosher app store and it has WhatsApp

looking4aphone

I can't @ you but McMonster I'd love to figure out how to get one here in the states. Anyone ship?
Not interested in buying one and rooting it etc.. unless that's the only way?

KosherPhoneFan

I have the fig phone (not the flip) for about 6 months. Yesterday the camera app disappeared.
I tried restarting the phone, nothing helped, anyone has any expiriance with this?

looking4aphone

KosherPhoneFan I saw they stopped marketing the f1 overall and just have the flip phone. I want the f1

Techgen

looking4aphone I may know someone who wants to sell one (used)

KosherPhoneFan

Wouldn't recommend for anyone this phone.

Very poor service, in some indoor locations service drops, sometimes I get messages hours after it is sent.
And now my camera disappeared.

Another issue that I have, when I want to export the contacts a error pops up, & it doesn't allow to export.

Flippy

KosherPhoneFan You have to contact Fig support to get a software update to fix those issues

[Login to see the link] I see on reddit r/dumbphones that there's a new f21 being tested made for US bands..

Flippy

looking4aphone .... they seem to be talking about the fig....

looking4aphone

Flippy Exactly what jbriones said -- Also jbriones i'm trying to get a hold of you!! I saw your post on the subreddit...can we DM somehow??

jbriones95

Yes. It is a modified version of the FIG as far as I've been told. But the seller has told me it's not under FIG's brand, but instead a QIN F30 branding, and then they will do the filtering for those that want/need it. I will do some testing once they send me an unit and will provide my thoughts as always.

Flippy

jbriones95 Got it. Nice to meet you here Jose! What I want to know is will the product in question have BETTER network compatibility than the FIG? Because the Fig is also being marketed as "US Bands" but in actuality runs into a lot of issues. In short: Hardware or software? And will it be approved by any US carriers?

looking4aphone

[Login to see the link] FIG is the kashrus "brand" they took a bunch of F21s and put software on it. So we're all talking about the same thing.

jbriones95

looking4aphone Yes. You can DM me on reddit or email me. I don't know if there is a message function on this forum, but you can also use that. You can find my email on my YouTube page 🙂
