I got 2 x Redmi 2 with MIU set to easy mode. big buttons and easy to use for old folks.

So far no complains from them.

Removable batteries so the phone can last another 2 years for their usage.

I was looking for a dumb 3g phone for my eldery mum too. My nexus4 n galaxy s2 is quite stressful for her to use. So decided to get a Samsung Keystone3 3g for her. I think is selling 40plus at telcos, but u can get from carousell or qoo10 at 20~30ish.

There's this F286 candybar phone from ZTE... Looks like a Dopod from years back...

Saw it at M1 sold with prepaid bundle... Spotted people selling it online from between $45 to $80... Recently even more of it since Lazada having sales till 12th Dec...

So far read good comments about it on its battery life...

$80 for this ZTE handset? That's quite expensive, may as well get from M1. Use the extra $20-25 for voice/text.

Nope, not that ZTE model, the model I mentioned isn't a touchscreen phone...

Hi,

I found this website where I can download "classic" games for dumbphone.

http://gallery.mobile9.com/c/alcatel-one-touch-2045x-softwares_22771/1/

Anybody here still remember how to install those kind of apps? Last time Nokia had Nokia Suite, but this is Alcatel ..LOL.

I've connected the device into PC via USB and transfer the JAR file into the phone memory, but I have no idea how to install/unpack it. The only visible folders are just My Music, Photo and Video.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Anyone knows whether this Alcatel is still avaiable from telcos? Not those export sets from Qoo10.
Thanks.

M1 seems to have discontinued sales of the Alcatel. Now replaced with ZTE.

I've said a few times before.

I'm studying in the Aerospace sector, not telecommunications sector. I'm not an employee of any carriers/ISPs. I'm just researching for fun.
