Review: Amazing phone, just what I needed for my daily use as primary phone. This dumb phone is not so dumb after all. - Just briefly want to mention first before entering into the detailed review of this wonderful phone. I am an IT security personnel for an organization and take security and very in tune with the latest gadgets. My previous phone was Oneplus 3T. I was looking for a total cut down on Internet, distractions during my commutes and spending exclusive quality time with family and friends. I looked at Lightphone, Punkt and found that they are very expensive for testing or just trying it out. Hence I started looking for basic phones and after several days of research found the BLU series of phones - Tank, to be cheap, exactly what I wanted - No Internet, Basic Phone and extended battery life. So bought it and have been using it for over a week. My setup: Using ProjectFi and yes it works on this Phone. ProjectFi uses T-Mobile. Just a quick useful tip: If you plan to use this with services such as MintSim, ProjectFi etc, this phone will work because they use T-Mobiles 2G network. For more setup tips on this phone, please search for www. codepear . com / blu (no spaces) and you should see a detailed review as well as my use case - Using a Life-Smart Phone Aka the Dumb Phone as your Primary Communication. Here I discuss more on how you can still be connected to the most important things that matter via Text Messaging Service. Screen: The screen has the right settings for brightness. I have set it to a level which works for both day and night mode. Audio: It has Bluetooth for connecting to old and new cars. This works better than my smartphone with 4G. It has to do with 2G signal which is very good for audio. This also has hands free mode if you want to use it like a speakerphone. Media: You can take pictures, video at a very low quality but in order to even start with it, you will need an SD card. I recommend a 32 GB. Radio: Yes! it has it, that is a great feature for me. No headphones required but there is an audio jack for privacy. Many of the folks are using this phone as a backup but for me, this one is the primary phone for now or until I find something better. Regarding how it looks, feels and operates. It feels like an $80 phone.
Review: Great little phone - Great little phone. Got this for teenage son for first phone. Does the job. Is unlocked, used with T-Mobile prepaid. No issues at set up. Does have dual SIM (at least the blue one did). Can use business number on one SIM and personal number on other SIM. Doesn't fit my needs but thought I'd mention it. Battery is nice and long. No decent instructions come with it so just takes time to figure everything out. Can lock the keypad by pressing the top left corner control button and the "*" key. However this doesn't prevent the phone from shutting off if the power button is held down. I don't like that fact but it's the only real complaint j have. The radio works well and my son has managed to get music on a mini SD card loaded into the phone so it acts as an MP3. Has a camera, but he and I do not believe you can send or receive photos (at least we haven't been able to). Durable little phone, my son is clumsy and drops things a lot so this one has held up for a month so far with no issue. No internet access on this phone (this was the whole reason we purchased it). Did not feel 13 yr old should have access to the entire world in the palm of hand. Lot of responsibility there and with this generations focus to validate self through social media, waned to keep his focus on his real life accomplishments and face to face interactions with friends. He will go through those motions on his own as all teens push for that freedoms and experience. Be for now, while he is still on the younger side of teenage years, this phone works wonderfully for us. P.S. My son has taken our encouragement to be fun with his "outdated" type phone in school and often makes remark as it is his Stone Age phone, enticing humor amongst his peers. He says he doesn't mind it being outdated and even likes that it's a little sturdier than his friends. (Of course he does dream for an iPhone but just thought I'd mention it in case any other parents out there were in the same place I was and worried your child might hate you for an outdated phone. They won't, they know you love them and are thinking in their best interest. It shows.) Hope this review details enough for any type I future buyer.

### ⭐ re
*by P***L on February 3, 2017*

Opening the box, I found a perfect telephone for my problematic partial blindness and elderly fumble-fingers. Large keys and bright, easy-to-read keypad - even a radio! BUT, there was no getting the phone to either send or receive calls. Immediately after receiving the phone, I had a techy friend insert the SIM card, but there was no result. The useless trinket went back into its box --- until last Saturday, January 28, 2017, when I called Consumer Cellular, my service provider, to ask if they would try to make my new cell phone operational if I sent it to them. Instead, they referred me to their service technicians at Target, and made a 3PM appointment for me. For two solid, uninterrupted hours (3-5PM) two incredibly patient and conscientious technicians tried every fix they could come up with to get the phone working. Of course I had been paying monthly service fees long before the new, unusable phone ever came, and have continued to pay for unusable service ever since its arrival. Reluctantly, the two gentlemen pronounced the new-and-never-used BLU Tank II T 193 not usable and suggested I ask Amazon to replace it with a workable unit. On checking the Amazon returns information, I learn that opportunity to return the faulty phone expired in November, so I'm without a cell phone as I prepare for an out-of-town trip and need one badly, for emergency contacts. Amazon, and ole BLU, both of you done me wrong - and for no reason. Am I blue? You'd be, too. Ain't these tears in these (one of them blind) eyes tellin' you?
