REVIVE THE FLIP PHONE

[etech0]

But it still shouldn't feel like its cracking (or ACTUALLY crack like in my case)  just from trying to get it off (and not too nice to fingernails...)

We figured that's why it came with 3 covers
But it definitely made me think twice before recommending putting a microsd card in. Never going to want to take it out...

anyone know if the schok flip phone is a decent phone or talk and text ?
and is it compatible for tello ?

There seems to be mixed reviews over this phone. Some people say that it holds up well, and some people say that it's trash. The way it was described to me is that it's not an Alcatel, and it's not a NUU. However, it's not either an LG or a Kyocera. Meaning, the quality is kind of in between. As for Tello, I called them up and they told me that it will work.

thanx, so any unlocked schok should work according to what you were advised ?

Every schock comes unlocked. They don't have a contract with any company. I tested a friend's IMEI with Tello, and was told that it will work. Do you  have a schock yet?

Another piece of garbage?

Alcatel is a קרי כתיב. its כתיב as Alcatel, but the קרי is garbage.

Lol.

If you buy a schock, get it on eBay. I helped a friend get one a month ago for under 40$. I've seen Jewish stores that have it for 180$. Don't overpay for a phone like that.

$80 at B&H

$80 at B&H

And $46 on eBay open box
here don't overpay. I know that it officially retailed at $100, however, it's really not worth that much.

which phone is recommended the school or the Alcatel flip to use on tello

[shabbosabba]

Like this, it's not going to be like the LG Exalt.  However it is a decent quality. Alcatel will be slow dysfunctional trash.Alcatel is for people who got stuck with the phone not knowing what it was and don't want to switch. Don't make that mistake.

I know countless people who got stuck with alcatel's, they hate it. The phone is slow, hard to be heard on the phone, and a myriad of other problems.

Some great info here on this forum with different how to's on running the abd command and installing apps.

So is the LG Classic for that matter

I don't think @shabbosabba was complaining, more like warning potential buyers what the phone will be like so they don't waste their money.

If you use a true oem LG Classic the software is different then the tracfone.

Tried putting my sim in a Moto X4 which worked fine, but after replacing my Sim back to its other device my service stopped working on my original device?
I wanted to stream some music, so I had taken my sim out of my Kyocera Cadence Device( it's a flip phone which I had unlocked which works with 3g on cricket.)

After putting the sim in my moto X4 to use to stream music, and put back into my Flip phone(Kyocera Cadence) the phone worked to make a test phone call, but after that when trying to do anything it goes straight to cricket wireless CS.

Is there anything one can do to reactivate the service back on a specific device? Or can one go on the website to active a specific device with the sim?

I remember with select carriers you can dial a sequence of numbers and that would activate the device, meaning it would register it on the network.

Any luck on my end what I can do? Thanks

   Did they discontinue new service with 3g? Any chance I'll be able to get them to activate it in the 3g phone?

After calling support and telling them I need for the time being they managed to get it to work again.

Has anyone tried using the Schok Flip phone on Cricket network? CS reps giving me a hard time when trying to activate it. They're telling me it's not compatible? If it's an unlocked device why would it be problematic and being that it works on at&t?
