will it blend ?

Cant see why anyone would bother with one of these when for £799 you can get an iPhone 6 plus and an Otterbox defendeder for £70. As long as you don't get it wet.

Dear Trolls. Its £30 and WATCH THE VIDEO..No Nokia £9.99 job would stand the first test let alone the water and being run over by a car! Its for builders primarily. Great little thing.

i cant use my router to get on to the web only use on pay and go

Got one to take canoeing, excellent buy! Heat added.

Ideal holiday / drunken night out phone.

will it blend ?

Maybe it was designed just for calling so it only supports 2G?

A throw away phone that's likely to bounce back! Heat given.

those all sound like valid points - thanks for the information.

When time is money, and you are earning shagadelic* amounts of the stuff...the seamless integration of Apple gear pays for itself.

However, for the vast majority of people, the ease of use/app availability of an iPhone is vastly outweighed by the prohibitive cost.

Thanks for the post, sent on to someone who'll find it useful :smiley:

if this is true then I have already tried a JCB branded one and paid a lot more only for it to be returned. too many issues with the phone...

wouldnt work, no network, kept on freezing, couldnt make calls or receive calls, couldnt answer calls.
i'm gonne be giving this a miss and stick to the old Nokia handset.

shame it doesnt accept a 3 sim and its 2g only which is really strange!

The point is better chance to make a call in areas where reception is poor. It's important since most of the 900MHz networks has been converted to 3G use and 2G on many areas is limited to 1800MHz only.
1800MHz gives better network capacity but at a price - shorter usable distance between base station and phone.

Last but not least, maximum transmitter power in handheld phone is limited by GSM standards to 2 watt on 900MHz band and only 1 watt on 1800 MHz.

All this means in UK 3G phone can have fairly good reception in the same place where 2G phone will have no reception at all. And, obviously, your network choice is limited.

And they replacing 2g in some parts to make way for 4g/freeview? (might of dreamt that)

it looks good but i wonder why only 1 year warranty as even a cheap screenwash tester @ £1.49 had 3 years warranty...

There is in the manual that the website links to though - definitely says "Dual SIM" and SIM1/2 etc.
Though as you say 2G only, so no use to anyone with a 3/Three network SIM.
Emphasis on "The phone is shockproof, waterproof and dustproof." and "WORKZONE".

"Designed to work in the most challenging environment".

I thought mobile phones were banned from prisons!

Look at the video

These get marketed under various brand names - jcb, landrover, fonerange etc.

eg the fonerange version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euPRrTx5OYg

I'm not sure what the point of 3g would be as it's a dumb phone - it is dual sim as per the video on aldi.

It's a basic phone that you have to try really hard to break. Don't think you can buy one from the uk for less than this.

1. there is no mention about dual SIM
2. it's 2G only
3. poor camera, poor everything

I would suggest to buy 3 cheapest Nokias, all 3 likely withstand way much more than phone above.

they had these in Lewes store 3 weeks ago reduced to £20, left over from the previous batch. the only reason didn't buy was the rubbish camera.

A very sturdy phone. My son had a Samsung one and no matter how many times he dropped it, it was unbreakable. This phone is a lot better because of the dual sim. :wink:
