Nokia - 6300 4G 4GB (Unlocked) - Powder White

Simple, with quality and good price. Great for calls and basic apps. Nokia is an icon of cell phones.

This phone worked fine as it is described but I decided I wanted a smartphone so exchanged it.

does the job. i wanted a "dumb" phone as an emergency back-up. i like that it has a micro sd slot (though it only supports up to 32 gb if i recall correctly). the headphones make for poor call quality, but the phone has better reception than my main phone in spots (admittedly, not sure if it's a carrier issue). i like that it has a second sim card slot, as i am hoping to be able to visit family overseas (i wouldn't have to remove my current sim card, just pop in the temporary one in the second slot). decent phone if you don't need access to apps that are only available on, say, google's app store, or many other frills.

This phone was perfect for our needs. Our daughter was starting middle school. We didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a smart phone. So we initially tried a smart watch. Couldn't get the Apple Watch to work with our ATT plan. We tried Angel Watch for a few months, but that was a disaster. Unusable, bulky, and stopped charging after a few months. So we tried this phone and it's been perfect for us. Unlike the watch, this is actually good for phone calls, as you'd expect. So it's much easier for us to call and text her and vice versa. While it has internet connectivity like a smartphone, the beauty of this phone is that the user interface (specifically, the lack of a physical or virtual keyboard) makes it so that she's not going to spend hours glued to her phone. In an emergency, she can use the Web, but it's not something that she'd do just for fun. We took Facebook off, but kept Whatsapp on the phone. Camera is not great, but that's not what we bought it for. Highly recommend for other parents who want to get their kids a phone, but don't want to get them an expensive smartphone that they'll lose, destroy, or get addicted to.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the Nokia 6300 4G. I was looking for a phone with some of the features of a smart phone, without the expense. I tend to be less than gentle and didn't want to invest in a phone I would need to baby. My only complaint, and it's a minor one, is that the keys are a bit small for my large hands and fingers. That said, it's a vast improvement over my old LG flip phone.

You can activate this phone with many different carriers. We needed AT&T. None of the new flip phones for the person we had to replace old 3g were user friendly at all. This Nokia 6300 4g was suggested by an at&t tech. Still a learning curve, but you can turn off access to facebook and what'sapp which helps a lot. It may look like an older phone, but it is new. No matter what phone you get for an elder, I be patient with them & yourself.

This is a basic phone that is simple to use. I purchased it for my senior mother who does not know how to operate a smart phone. This phone has WhatsApp installed so my mother can call her granddaughter who is going to school in London without having to pay $3 a minute. Another good feature is this phone can block numbers unlike the Alcatel phone she had previously. So many scam calls on T-Mobile so the block numbers feature is great to have. Not a very sturdy phone, but affordable and has useful features.

The phone is a good value at the price offered HOWEVER programming the unit for 1 particular feature was its downfall. Nowhere in the quick start users guide that was supplied in the box nor the 38 page comprehensive manual available on the Nokia website was there any information on setting up SPEED DIALING. This particular feature was very important in this case as it is going to be used by an assisted living facility patient. Only 2 phone numbers are used. It took several calls to customer service and their e-mail to solve the problem but they did !
