I know this is a good phone as I have another one just like it. It is very easy for us seniors to use with the only problem being that we find it a bit difficult to open it when a call is coming in. Otherwise we are very happy with this phone.

For a simple phone that makes calls, does SMS/MMS and group messages. This phone works perfectly. It's not a smart phone, so don't expect smart phone features. That being said, using Mint Mobile works great. Has VoLTE and VoWifi with Mint Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO). Purchased to use as a reliable long lasting business phone.
It has a camera, but don't expect great pictures.
It has email, maps, weather, and makes crystal clear calls. It checks all my boxes.

Nokia keeps taking steps backwards with their phones while falsely advertising.
-Can't group text with iPhones I'm texting. Their messages are multimedia downloads I have to approve every time and they're just TEXT.
-Built in Maps doesn't allow predictive texting.
-You can't add words to the predictive texting dictionary while typing.
-Clock and alarms can't be inputted by number keys
-There's no way to make the main menu of bloatware apps shorter to quickly loop back, in quick scenarios like emergencies.
-No button sounds for menus, meaning no audio confirmation of inputs other than phone dialing.
Amazing big mashy buttons. Decent look and form factor. Bad outer screen functionality and giant bezel.

The best flip flop phone there is. It has everything a smart phone could have without being one. I am super happy with it I replaced with my I phone and I honestly love all the features it brings an it’s so practical to use. Nokia hasn’t changed they still provide 5 star phones all around. I thank the staff and Best Buy for always helping me pick my best options there always know exactly what I’m looking for. I recommend this phone for everybody from young people to older adkutls it’s magnificent!!!!

My Nokia 2780 flip phone from Best Buy has taken me on a nostalgia trip!
Texting on this retro gem is a thumb symphony - definitely worth the revival. Plus, there's nothing like slamming the phone shut to dramatically end a call - no screen cracks here!
Battery life is epic - it lasts for days! "What's a charger?" your smartphone pals will wonder as they hunt for outlets.
Embrace the nostalgia and ditch the fancy apps with the Nokia 2780. Welcome back to simpler times!
P.S. I tried ordering pizza online with it - didn't work, but the pizza guy was impressed!

Don't mess up a flip phone with KaiOS. If I want a smartphone, I'll buy a smartphone. If I want a flip phone, I don't want "smart-ish" features like access to the internet. Especially on a tiny low-res screen with a low-res camera. Pick a frickin' lane. I wanted a simple flip phone as a first phone for a child. I may have to return this.

The Nokia 2720 Flip Phone, though a basic phone in the era of smartphones, brings back the simplicity and nostalgia of flip phones with a modern twist. Unlocked for versatility, it allows users to choose their preferred carrier.
The phone's compact design makes it pocket-friendly, and the flip mechanism adds a touch of classic style. The physical keypad offers tactile feedback for easy typing and dialing. The external display provides quick access to notifications and caller ID without opening the phone.
With essential features like a decent camera, 4G LTE connectivity, and a durable build, the Nokia 2720 is reliable for basic communication needs. The battery life is commendable, ensuring that users won't have to worry about frequent recharging.
Ideal for those who prefer simplicity or as a secondary device, the Nokia 2720 Flip Phone Unlocked is a reliable and stylish choice that harks back to the era when phones were primarily for calls and texts.

Phone does what I was hoping it would do! It gets 3 stars because pretty frequently the screen will look like an old fuzzy tv screen where I can't do anything. I press a bunch of buttons until it finally goes back to normal. Also I still haven't figured out how to get my email set up. I think this is a google issue, but it still is very difficult and you have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get it which I havent been able to figure out. Overall though it clears up my head space because it's not a smart phone and I probably would do it again.

Bought for 87 year old. She is figuring it out. It is different from her old one, has more options for things, and good size text for reading. Pretty user friendly for someone who isn't tech savy.

AT&T ended 3G service and my dad needed a basic clam shell phone with 4G. The Nokia 2780 is what I and he was looking for. He doesn't need all the apps of typical smart phones because he only needs a cell phone to make basic phone calls.
Took the AT&T sim card, popped it into the Nokia, and it works perfect. Charging is by USB-C port like so many other phones are using these days. Gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because its plastic construction but better than other prepaid clam shell phones I've looked at. My dad loves it because it's so basic and easy for him to use.

Great low tech phone! It functions great and will do what you neesd it to do. The two issues I had with it were getting group text messages and the email app always signing me out. Would recommend for the price.

Bought this bad boy 2 weeks ago, best decision I ever made leaving my iPhone behind. Best Buy was very helpful when buying the phone. The phone itself is a tank very durable and the battery last for days.

Phones covers all the basics. The buttons are on the mushier side and sometimes repeated alarms will ring anyway if turned off (I have hit the actual back button instead of the hang up button since others have complained about alarms and claimed which button pressed matters). Otherwise, it's a good daily driver. It keeps me connected to my friends and family through texts and calls. With minimal usage, it lasts about 2-3 days before charging.

My husband got very frustrated with his smart flip phone. It was constantly sending him notifications, was difficult to navigate, and sometimes things didn't work properly. He said he wanted a simple flip phone like he used to have. I was surprised to see this Nokia still available. We bought it, transferred the SIM card, transferred contacts, and he lives it! So much easier to use. No touch screen - everything by menu and select. The notifications for texts and phone calls are easy to see and get to - plus easy to clear. This phone is simple but has everything he needs - talk, text, email and pictures. This is a great inexpensive "old tech" phone that works perfectly for him.

I really like my new Nokia Flip Phone. It fits in my pocket and I do not have to carry it in my hand or wonder where It is most of the time. It works very well and it has all of the features that I need. It is also less expensive.
