Review: Nice and good phone - This phone was perfect for alerts and power outages. I think. You can even run on the WEB to the homepage. You can also browse on the Google homepage. This phone was meant to be the winner of the dumb phone I watched on YouTube. That are KaiOS. But it kinda looks like a KaiOS phone!
Review: Don’t get this unless you like to waste money - I bought this too long ago to return (just over 30 days) and I’ve spent that entire time just trying to get the thing to work. I’ve bought multiple SIM cards and started plans with multiple service providers (CDMA and GSM) to find that none of them work with this phone and that this phone only supports a few bands of 2G GSM. I eventually found that Red Pocket mobile uses the 1900MHz band that this phone uses, so I launched service with them. That ALSO failed!!! This phone never says anything besides “Emergency Call” which I assume means “Emergency calls only” and it has never worked with any of the SIM cards I’ve tried with it… even sims that should be compatible. Don’t get this phone unless you enjoy wasting time and money.

A: Yes, Tello might work. But you have to activate the Tello SIM in a 4g LTE phone, leave it in there, make and receive some calls, and then (and only then) migrate it into the Blu Quad band. That worked for me, hopefully it works for you!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice
*by R***U on December 23, 2024*

The phone works perfectly with my Nigerian SIM card. The battery gets flat within 24 hours without anyone operating it. It has been almost a year since I have been using the phone. I would like to update that the battery is failing; it needs to be plugged in for it to be on, else it will just be on low no matter how long it plugged in and off.
