Purchased a Nokia 6300 and activated it a few weeks ago. Thank you for the encouragement to go back to a feature phone. I've been much more productive at work with less distractions vs my smart phone. New subscriber and love your channel.
Thank you for all your content. I love this channel. I have always been a big supporter of basic and feature phones, but have been struggling to find one I like since 2G and 3G are retiring. Could you do a video (if you have not already) doing more size comparisons? One f the best things about basic phones is how compact and efficient they are.
I got one on amazon for $50, arrived next day, works great so far with mint, and has threaded message view ! out of the box it has a dead pixel haha but It does work pretty well, I am traveling for work next week Ill give it a more long term test but so far so good for a basic phone, just wish it was a flip phone !
@@filip4164 I have it for 2 years as my "detox-phone". Its great for calls. The texting is also nice, because the buttons are very soft. The camera is fun, but the picture quality is not good. It is very minimal & it depends on what you want. Pro: it comes in blue
Hi! Really like your videos! Two things I'm wondering about for this phone (and all other feature phones); are the textmessages in single view or threaded view, and is the music player upgraded from the 2017 3310 so you can play/choose albums? Cheers!
@@JoseBriones thanks! Really like the Nokia's but they need to work on the music player and the contacts app. I'll be following your channel to see if maybe newer Nokia's or other phones get useful music players, T9 and threaded view messages.
Hi Jose, thanks for your videos! I've been using the Nokia 3310 3G for a while and purchased a 3310 4G version from China, but while there is an English language menu option, the keyboard options are only limited to Chinese languages--any advice?
Hi may I please have your help. I just want a dumb phone that will allow me to call and text and that has a GPS that I can use. I don't want touch screen none of that if possible not even a web browser please help.
@@JoseBriones i have another question. Can you play wireless fm through bluetooth headset for nokia handsets that support wireless fm? I am thinking of using bluetooth earbuds with a nokia feature phone for songs and FM radio. But sadly there is no info about the audio routing through bluetooth headsets for FM
How do you get the phone to work on volte without access to the internet settings ? Having a problem with another phone and can’t get it to work for that reason
For these dumb phones, could you dedicate a portion of the video typing the following text using T9 predictive text?: "I don't gotta know Mike." It might be super random, but it demonstrates the predictive text capabilities pretty quickly. Some phones struggle with contractions. Others don't prioritize "I" when you click 4 once, which is endlessly frustrating. Others don't automatically capitalize names, and you have to get out of predictive text to change the capitalization. Others don't predict slangish colloquialisms like "gotta".
Jose, In a reply to on your review of the Nokia 110, I asked about similar phones with Bluetooth, and you mentioned the Nokia 225 4G. I think I saw someplace that the Nokia 220 has bluetooth. If you can confirm this, I'll purchase it through your affiliate link. Thanks. --David Best
This video should be deleted, cause you misleading people into wrong informations. That phones doesn’t have 3G support, so If someone is in the country that supports 2G 3G as you are saying, it actually does not change anything as this phone do not have 3G support, and the same about not working with ATT and working with T-Mobile. This phone works in with T-Mobile ok 2G not 4G, and it never worked on ATT 3G as this phone has no 3G, seriously this video “review” should be deleted. If you want to help people who are into basic phones, providing wrong informations do really a BAD JOB.
www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/nokia-220-4g/specs?sku=16QUELW1A02 Check the specs. It has both spectrums for 2G, 4G LTE, and 3G. In the US, 3G will not work because it is shut down so it will rely on 2G if available and 4G LTE if allowed. This is not a phone for the US Market, it's for the international market. You can make this phone work on T-mobile 4G LTE if you have the compatible bands which is LTE CAT 1. This is a limited band in the United States, but it is available. Anyways, thanks for coming by and trying to add to the knowledge base.

but the 4G in the name should mean that it can run with every provider right?
Hey Jose!
Could you tell me if this little guy has threads for texts or is every message individual?
Keep doing good things! x
This one is inbox. The 2024 version is threaded

No advice for now. Sorry

@@arunavamalo Yes
Where can I get your exact model? It has the Arabic keys which I want.
Also which carrier is confirmed to work with this in the US?
I got this from Amazon. T-mobile is the only one that is confirmed to work.
How do you get the phone to work on volte without access to the internet settings ? Having a problem with another phone and can’t get it to work for that reason
US Mobile (Tmobile subsidiary) has VoLTE enabled, but no data to the device. So VoLTE works, but data doesnt
Well I guess this is the future of 4G phones because they didn't have to implement Android for it's 4g features.
pls make a video making call using VOLTE
thanks
I don't understand. This phone has VoLTE and it does work as I mentioned. You can see it on my latest livestream
@@JoseBriones okay
Light phone have any kind of warranty?
Hmm. They do help you and refund you if you are not satisfied with the product and also provide support for issues.
Can I open Java apps in nokia 220 4G (like Nokia 230) ?
Nope.
Hi! Can i send single message to multiple contacts?
Yes. But not as a group message.
