Cat S22 Flip 16GB 4G SIM Free Smartphone - Black, CS22F-DAB-RON-NN

i have been looking for a dumb phone for a long time now. this phone was my choice. it's great because it still has google, and apps i need like ring and banking apps yet you wouldn't play games on this phone or use it for mindless scrolling because it is too difficult with such a tiny screen! It's so simple to use and very durable! i have been washing mine in the sink! i prefer flip phones as you won't be able to butt dial anyone lol. however sometimes if you set the programmable side button it does press while in your pocket, i use it for the torch and when the button is pressed when i'm walking the phone heats us quickly because the torch has been on. this phone is great for those who want to simplify or dumb down there tech life but still have apps that are necessary in there daily lives. hence why i called it a dumbish phone. this phone has finally and definitely given my life back! if you have a phone/ social media/ game addiction like i did, you need this phone. i would rate it 5/5

Phone works fine until one day you will not be able to get signal at all. I suspect this is due to the phone being American and originally tied to the T-Mobile network in the US. Somewhere either with the phone or with the networks in the UK there is an incompatibility or clash that is rendering the device useless. The phone is unlocked and looking at the network frequencies everything should be fine. This has happened on Vodafone UK and I cannot work out why. It may work fine on other networks, but I don't fancy getting a new contract to test this out. I put my sim card in another phone and it worked fine.Brilliant little phone otherwise if you can get it to work. Such a shame.

This phone is not a dumb phone. It is not a senior phone. It is not a smart phone. The screen is small and bright enough for me (weak sight). You can use a variety of keyboards, on screen, and physical. Slow typing but you also have the option of speech to text when appropriate. Battery is small and will drain fast if you use it for social media.This phone is a rugged phone, and mainly for phone calls which is excellent for this purpose. You have messages, Wattsapp, email, weather, instagram and all Google basic apps, etc… very configurable and you can have multiple screens with different apps (widgets) to suit your needs. Loud enough, clear speech. Signal is reliable, wifi is reliable, BT is reliable (connects to the car fine and download all contacts and make phone calls). Connects to |Android smart watches just fine. Tethering really good and fast when there is a signal. The external screen gives you the basic, signal, wifi, battery, BT. Depending on your apps, it can put notifications on your external screen such as weather.I have been using it heavily. With phone calls and occasional texts. Battery last 1.5-2 days. Social media apps drain the battery. Maps works well. I use it solely as a communication device with occasional use of location. All myonline activities, such as banking and social media I use my mini tablet which always go with me which has bigger and brighter screen. Cameras are adequate for quick snapshots and video calls. So far it never let me down. It actually cut down on my social media pings. Heavy and solidly built as advertised. I never put phones on my pocket, I use a sling bag for the tablet and phone, and other accessories such power bank, cables, water bottle, etc.Recommended if you want to cut down on social media, give yourself time to get used to it and specially to the keyboard. Hope this helps.

Bought the phone to reduce my doom scrolling, hoping that it would free time. The phone is great. First off, for phone calls it is far clearer than the last two flagship smartphones I've had. Added bonus, it is still a smartphone so I could sync my contacts and calendar easily. I have added all the apps that I need day to day (including my online banking app) and, while the smartphone aspect is slow, it does the job. The combination of slower and small screen mean I only use it when I need to, giving me back the time previously lost but without much loss of convenience. Haven't used the camera properly yet so can't comment on it, but overall, this is a great phone, with smartphone convenience when you need it.

I bought this phone to reduce screen time but eventually gave up on it.I liked:-the ruggedness-buttons-screen not too bad-WhatsappI didn't like:-losing signal every few hours-multiple issues with the SD card, install using the temporary option-no android auto-no NFC/payments facility-atrocious camera - I need a good one for workI ended up carrying two phones for the camera and payments which I eventually got sick of.If it had worked better, it was nice to have a phone to switch off with and leave work behind. I got a case and belt clip combo from the US site that worked very well.I wish it was a little bit better, it has a lot going for it.

I bought this phone for my grandma but i was already checking on him for me, the phone is really of good quality, doesnt lag. I'm thinking purchase it for me now that i have already had been able to set him up.In the past i made a review but i dont know why it been deleted.I highly recommend this phone for all type of person. He is quite bulky but i think its quite good .
