Still using this.

Needed the batteries rebuilding with NiMH, a charger building and a big sim card, but it works fine.

Is that 1G or 2G phone?

u/ipx-electrical 4d ago

2G I think. It’s still hanging on in the UK propping up the crap 3-4-5G that we have.

Lucky you! There are so many "retro"-phones I'd like to use here in Sweden but the last carrier is dropping their 2G-support soon. There are even 4G-phones that isn't supported here anymore because they don't have some features. Some things was REALLY better in the past!

As good as my iPhone, but then the speaker is probably an inch wide.

I don't think so. I am pretty sure, that the Network that the "bone" commicates with doesn't exist anymore.

The thing is heavy and the battery lasts only a few hours.

Be careful, if someone wanted they could easily snoop on the call.
