Nokia 6300 4G

For when even the flip phone is too high-tech: Nokia makes this classic candy-bar phone. Technically, you can access wifi with it, but the controls are so painful you'd never actually want to. Texting from a keypad is nostalgic-- Like it's 2005 all over again, and you can't afford a Blackberry. You should probably just ignore the fact that it has a camera. Your vinatage Polaroid Instant takes better photos. What this phone does very, very well, is make and receive phone calls. If you need a phone that does that, and not much else, this phone will do the job! That's what I got it for, and I am very happy with it. I actually dig being able to say "Oh, sorry, I have a dumbphone-- I can't receive attachments". Great for reinforcing the message: "I'm not at work right now so it can wait".

Slow and glitchy. Typing is laggy. Response to selections is slow. Even answering calls sometimes doesn’t work because it doesn’t respond quickly enough.Probably due to KaiOS, but it makes the phone pretty well unusable.

The reason I chose this phone is because I don’t want my 10 year old having a smart phone and it was supposed to be compatible with AT&T network unfortunately it is no longer compatible. The phone does work great with Mint mobile not to mention it is cheaper. Over all great first phone. My daughter loves it.

The phone itself at this price is great! the build quality is good for this price tag, lots of cool features. The one (or two) reason(s) I think I may return this phone is because this phone only able to access the software version of 2.5.4. The current version for the kaios software is 3.1. This phone will no longer be receiving the software updates. This means that group texts will not work with it's current (2.5.4) version. I've been able to receive group texts but I cannot create one or reply back to them. Attempting so will send each recipient and personalized message and not to the group. Lastly, It's a common flaw I've seen with other users of this phone; occasionally when pressing a button, it will execute the action of it twice. If I pressed the back button once, often times it will act as if i pressed it twice. The same goes for texting, it will sometimes skip a letter. Outside of these inconveniences, this is actually a great phone. Battery life is good for it's battery size, it'll last about 2 days (less if you use it heavily).

This was a bit of an impulse buy as I had been wanting to get what everyone my age are calling "a dumb phone" for a while now, and yet I don't regret it one bit. I purchased the Nokia for the sole reasoning to improve my habits of staring at that shattered glass screen for an unnecessary amount of time when I need that time to be productive and, well, connect with the world. But anyway, here are my pros and cons I noticed while using this phone over the weekend. (And some things to clarify after reading other reviews)Pros:-Calls sound good and you sound good on their end-SMS/MMS texts pop up on their end-All the advertised apps appeared and work decently (YouTube, Google Search/Maps, WhatsApp, QR Reader)-Snake is a classic as well as Crossy Road and Doodle Jump-FM Radio works well and sounds good too-Loaded music files via microSD storage all play seemlessly either with headphones or BluetoothCons:-No physical volume buttons, which kinda bothers me a little-Internet browser is very limited even when loading simple websites-Your group text responses send to each group member individually instead of the group (bug?)-Google Maps is text/manual navigation only for those who only rely on its voice assistant-Camera quality is fine but not the best for indoor photos-The promised apps will only show up if you insert the SIM card to the phone (makes sorta sense but not so much for WIFI only users)Transferring the SIM over from one phone to this one was simple. Since I have an iPhone, before using your SIM on the Nokia, go to the settings and uncheck your number to receive iMessages from (on Messages tab in the main Settings menu). After that, you should be able to send SMS and MMS messages from your Nokia at an ease.Well, that's about it! This phone, overall, is a 4/5 in my book. It is not entirely perfect, some flaws to be aware but a good phone to use overall. A good way to disconnect from the loud world every once in a while, or to slowly improve screen time. Probably both. I'd recommend this to anyone, like me, who wants a backup phone to use, a replacement to ditch your smartphone entirely (you brave soul), or to parents who want their kids to get their first phone. Get yourself a cheap prepaid phone plan and begin that journey with this beloved little gadget.

Encantado con mi nuevo teléfono inteligente y compacto. Nunca pensé que encontraria un celular estilo antiguo combinado con ajustes modernos. Es perfecto y me encanta. Lo volvería a comprar

what ? i threw that phone away bro because does nt support whatsapp anymore and very buggy, certainly not recommending it

I bought this phone because the KaiOS store supported WhatsApp. But upon arrival KaiOS did not support WhatsApp anymore. For me this was a disappointment because I wanted a dumb phone, with WhatsApp support. So it’s useless now. The quality is ok, a bit plastic. And quite expensive for what it offers.

Very good

Lo compre para un adulto mayor, y sigue funcionando lo uso con Telcel, agarro el chip sin ningún problema

This is doesn't work for me

I have bought this phone to my mother-in-law. She liked it especially the clarity of sound and the size. It serves the purpose.

Not 4G! This is 2G phone and need to be returned.
