NOT compatible with AT&T, although recommended.

The phone does not work with AT&T, despite Jethro's claims. Jethro promised that the firmware that will be released 2 weeks ago will fix the problem but has not released it and will not respond now. Specifically: Answering text messages in the AT&T network does not work. APN settings required by Jethro Support to allow AT&T text messages to reply to messages that cannot be applied. It was supposed to be an unlocked phone that was fully compatible with AT&T. It's not like this. It is clear that…

Too difficult for tech-savvy 40-year-olds, let alone older people. Plus lots of questions!

This phone is a joke. And let me be clear, I LOVE dumb phones. All I want is something simple and easy to use for texting and calling. But it looks like the operating system was developed by a high school student for a computer lab. It's bulky, it's missing tons of important features, and it's so hard to navigate that I literally can't imagine an older, less tech-savvy person using it. I can hardly get it to work myself. In addition to its almost complete lack of functionality or usability, it…

  • Elegant design

Google OS on a modern VoLTE bar phone; 93 YEAR OLD MOTHER USES IT A LOT

READ MORE VoLTE will be a must in the near future! I needed a simple phone with big buttons for my mom. TING activated this with no issues and only added $10/month to my bill for unlimited voice and text messaging. This phone doesn't use data - no internet - so it doesn't charge like a smartphone. Sending Text Messages Is Difficult: Remember T9 Text Messages? It's never been easy and mom just doesn't care. She uses it for over an hour every day, making and receiving calls, talking to her…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • boring packaging

Excellent basic phone in cellphones

I bought this phone for my mother. She is 80 years old and very tech savvy (don't think she has a computer and can't set the clock type on the VCR). As she unwrapped her Christmas present, her face was filled with fear. In less than half an hour she was using the phone like a pro. It's not an iPhone, folks. But it allows her to have a second line of communication and have unlimited long-distance calls with her sisters. Ever since she got the phone, she has nothing but good things to say about…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Annoying
