how can i have google play on the qin phone?

MXRJR

Techgen the sunbeam is still working...its a little bit of a mystery why its still going. But the idea is that all phones 3g are off att as well as 4g phones that utilize a 3g system to make calls (like lg wine un220)....this is what i was told by att representative...not exactly sure what that means

Flippy

MXRJR I was told by sunbeam that they were whitelisted by AT&T

Flippy

to the point
quality of call = clarity and volume
quality sound on its speaker = clarity and volume
falls to floor doesn't end up broken phone
punkt vs sunbeam ???

Flippy

Cant say for sure.
But I would give the volume and clarity to sunbeam.
The durability would definitely go to the Punkt.

Flippy
thanks
and ease of other features like texting and cameras use ?
and contacts

Flippy

Overall I would say sunbeam. It has dial search, various input methods, (including an excellent speech-to-text) a dedicated camera key and more.
And Punkt doesn't have a camera....

Flippy
great
you made my decision

do you know the CAT flip phone as well ?

Flippy

Flippy

star Yes, it has a regular smartphone operating system

Is there a list of phone services that this phone does work with?

  • None

(From figkosher.com . Grammmar mistakes are theirs not mine)

The phone works great with Verizon**. The phone works moderate with T-MOBILE.

**PLEASE NOTE: Since we are still in the process of becoming officially certified with Verizon, the phone will only work with an already activated 5G Verizon sim card (older Verizon sim cards are spotty). Verizon will not allow you to open a brand new plan with this phone.

DUE TO AT&T’S SHUT DOWN OF THE 3G TOWERS A LOT OF CHAOS HAS INSUED & MANY 4G VOLTE PHONES HAVE FALLEN VICTIM TO THE SHUT DOWN . UNFORTUNATELY, AT THE MOMENT THIS IS EFFECTING THE FIG PHONE. WE ARE WORKING WITH AT&T FOR A RESOLUTION BUT IN THE MEAN TIME WE DO NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASING THIS PHONE FOR USE WITH AT&T.

WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE AND ASK YOU TO CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES AS THE SITUATION DEVELOPS FURTHER.

THANK YOU,

THE FIG TEAM

Flippy wow thanks for your fast resp

Flippy Super confused you wrote before that it works with ALL Now your writing None?? Does it work with all or none?

Flippy

Infozell (thought you wrote "doesnt" work with.. sorry my bad)
It "works" with all, but as you see from their notes, its actually not so simple, so effectively, works with none.

Flippy I understand now, do you know anything about the unihertz titan pocket? Can it be filtered?

Flippy

Infozell I have it. Bigger and heavier than expected but seems like a good phone. dont know for a fact but, I heard it can be filtered by TAG. It comes with a basic "student mode" that can lock specific apps with a code. Dont know how reliable that lock is.

lgexalter1 So you have to pay the yearly fee for gentech?

tello vs ting vs us mobiule ??

star hellomobile

Flippy does it work with tracfone?

gomobile u mean the cymbal?

Flippy

boost mobile ?

hello mobile runs on t mobile ?

ting chooses both networks version and t mobile which ever is better available
while all others use only t mobile ?

I just got this phone with tello service and works very good, 1 small issue: the all backup app doesn't work because of an updated that's needed. other, very happy with the phone BH!

i bought the phone on ali express thoes anyone know witch service is working?

as good as the 4810 ?

Flippy UPDATE:
the phone has Major issues, does not work indoors, and it gets kicked off from tracfone in middle of conversations, i'm giving it back.

Flippy

greatobeajew Unfortunately many people have similar experiences...

cowculator

If one orders the F21 Global Version from AliExpress, will it work with T-Mobile?

Flippy

cowculator I think the same as the FIG version

MXRJR

Hey wanted to let the oilam know that FIG is coming out with a new flip phone....supposed to be working on all major networks as this phone was manufactured from the very ground for FIG and they have included all bands, its the same kosherOS as the fig original phone, the build quality is similar to the sunbeam in terms of size and plasticky type of feel, although its a little more advanced like a better screen than the sunbeam and obliviously the OS is better....i got a chance to see it already so just informing those who are looking to buy a new phone it might be a good option...see link below (details on the site are not fully updated yet, but just have a look)

From what i understand the phone is from China. Almost guaranteed it will not work with ATT. Furthermore I highly doubt the phone is Verizon certified. Which leaves us only with T-Mobile.... I welcome anyone to prove me wrong.

Flippy

lgexalter1 Yes the term is totally misleading. Neither the phone nor the OS (android) is "built from the ground up". Any phone worth its salt should not need deceptive marketing to sell itself. The market for flip phones is so unsaturated (thirsty?) that any decent phone will be scooped up, even bad ones . On the other hand, I totally agree with you that bashing because of how cheap someone gets a phone for, is nonsensical. We will just have to wait and see ourselves how this phone turns out, and what will be with compatibility.

MXRJR chaimzalman Flippy to clarify: I don't have anything to do with this company, i just was able to test the phone out (using Verizon btw) , and I was told that it was physically developed for fig, as opposed to the previous one which was oem based off of a model already available in the China markets.....This phone is running android similar to the previous fig android version.....and i was told that all band were included......and anyone who is worried about money should understand that there was a huge investment involved to create this phone from scratch and to allow all band (this is what i was told).
this is no advertisement like I said I have nothing to do with this company, I'm just giving inside scoop so u can make knowledgeable decisions when or if purchasing.
seems to be others here also know about this phone.....just wondering how.....if you didn't see the phone yet.....im just curios

Apps4Flip-Admin

@MXRJR How you were able to test out the phone pre release if you have nothing to do with the company?

I am not saying this applies to you, but just a friendly reminder to everyone that self promotion is 100% banned on these forums. We welcome all contributions, but we want unbiased and real product reviews and feedback, not biased self beneficiary posts that let people milk and scam our community.

MXRJR "there was a huge investment involved to create this phone from scratch and to allow all band"
That was said about the previous model too, and seems to be also untrue, as it has the same exact wireless capabilities of the chinese model. Not saying its actually untrue here, since this one actually seems to be a new model. Just clarifying the facts.

Can you download apps onto the prefiltered Fig phone?
