    Ace How is the Network compatibility of the original (non-kosher) one? The FIG only seems to work decently on AT&T but is somewhat compatible with verizon on pre-activated sim, and T-Mobile but with poor reception. Is yours the same?

      I just got the Qin f21 Pro+ from AliExpress. I am currently on Verizon Prepaid and it's not working when I switch my sim. Does anyone know which service would work with this?
      Also, how would I download apps?

      Thank you.

      had anyone compared the call and speaker sound quality between
      Kosher Full Keyboard 4G QIN FIG
      and
      F1 Orchid by sunbeam
      or and
      uni punkt kosher ?

              a-one Yes, tracfone only allows specific IMEIs... but why stick with tracfone anyway?

              Can you explain what they mean by "cracked version of the kosher software"? Is it kosher? how is it different than buying the stock android one?

                  Flippy i don't know how kosher it is. Before i baught it they told me that there is a kosher software that could be downloaded on it for free but I didn't found it how to download it so I'm going to ask them

                        star Qin fig definitely the worst/lowest
                        Sunbeam F1 is usually loud and clear, and rated better than the Punkt in this
                        [Login to see the link] review

                          rated better than the Punkt ? in what wording do you see that ?

                          does volume say everything
                          or its also the quality of sound and
                          call quality

                          a-one Just curious, what did they respond? Or did they?

                              as well durability and resistance to get break by falls by humidify ;
                              punkt is done by a swiss company known for doing quality
                              can any one come in with experienced both the punkt and the sunbeam ??
                              or may have a relative or friend who did ?

                                  star I have plenty of experience with both but I am not sure what exactly you are asking...

                                      I know someone who has the fig kosher phone, he was using it with Pure Talk (an AT&T mvno), it suddenly stopped working last week, it just says "no service". [Login to see the link] mentioned that AT&T stopped supporting these phones, would that affect the mvnos also, or would anyone know what else the issue might be?

                                          Techgen Yes it's because of the ATT "3g" Shutdown which is really almost a "non AT&T-branded phone" Shutdown. Even 4glte phones were were shutdown. They shut anything not on the [Login to see the link] . This DID also affect the MVNO's

                                              Flippy Oh wow, thats bad if all ATT mvnos only work on ATT phones. Would you recommend getting a verizon mvno for this phone or it will also end up being unsupported when they do their 4g switch, and its best just to get another phone?

                                                    Techgen Verizon has a bunch of issues on the fig, ranging from not accepting the imei, intermittently disconnecting from the network and poor service in some areas. verizon's 3g shutdown should NOT affect this phone as it is not a CDMA phone, but verizon can choose to shut it anyway because it is not a supported IMEI. Best bet with this phone (if you are already stuck with it...) is T-mobile, albeit with poorer than normal reception in many areas

                                                        Flippy I guess we can't expect FIG to refund all the phones...
                                                        Is T-mobile worse on these phones, or you're just saying they have bad coverage in some areas like all T-mobile phones?

                                                            Worse than other T-Mobile phones...
                                                            And why shouldn't they refund all phones?
