Bluetooth, a torch, FM radio, alarm and calculator are listed alongside basic calling and messaging.
The listing states compatibility with GSM 2G and names exceptions among UK networks.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are contradictory or inconsistent: charging is described as Type-C in one claim and Micro USB in the specifications and contents, while a charging dock is promoted but omitted from the explicit contents list. Battery claims differ between 800mAh and 1000mAh, and talk-time/standby figures also conflict. SIM details range from single SIM to dual SIM. Network wording varies between unlocked for all carriers and exclusions for Three and iD Mobile, and another claim says compatible with GSM networks except 3G/4G. Confirm the selected handset’s charging, battery, SIM configuration and network compatibility before buying.

Customer feedback highlights the large buttons, ease of use and audible sound as useful for keeping in touch. Reports on functionality and battery life are mixed, and screen feedback includes concern that wording can be too small. For a call-focused phone with a listed 1.77-inch display and 800mAh battery, those differences matter: consider the user’s eyesight and charging needs rather than assuming every unit or experience will match the positive comments.

Mixed feedback
