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....

New FIG Kosher Phone

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....

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?

[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 🙂

jbriones95 will it be very expincive like the fig?

jbriones95

sdmde No idea yet. They will be sharing more details with me once they send it. Sorry for the scant details, I'll share more when I have more to share 🙂

jbriones95

Flippy As far as I've been told, these are hardware modifications that have improved over the FIG. I'll have to test myself as companies just say stuff nowadays without truly proving their methods. I'll keep everyone posted for sure 🙂

jbriones95

Flippy [Login to see the link] [Login to see the link] I am hoping to get a tracking number within the next week from the company selling the Xiaomi Qin F30 (rebranded F21 Pro for the US market). We'll see how this goes! Just wanted to keep you updated 🙂

BTW the original device of the fig phone, "Xiaomi qin f21 pro" has a product update. The Xiaomi qin f22 pro which is supposedly much better.

jbriones95

Reifam Correct. I am getting the F22 pro at the end of October hopefully 😃

sdmde

jbriones95 thanks for the up date

jbriones95

lgexalter1 how did you get text to work

jbriones95 Would love to get pictures of the phone itself, as well as know whether it includes the play store? Also what is the estimated cost as well as carrier compatibility?

jbriones95

Apps4Flip-Admin Here are some pictures: [Login to see the link]. Verizon and T-mobile work without issues VoWiFi included. AT&T does as well, but at some point in time, it gets blocked sadly. Still trying to figure a workaround 🙂

Edit: No Playstore on the OG device, but there will be an option for play store and apk installation I've been told.

Flippy

jbriones95 Great. Did you try locations with weak service? On the original f21 pro, service was significantly worse than other handsets in poor service areas..

jbriones95

lgexalter1 Yes. I could edit the IMEI, but I am trying to not resort to that so I can recommend it to AT&T users who may be less technical 🙂
