Dumb Phones UK
United Kingdom
Приєднався 8 чер 2023
Hi, I'm Joseph, a stand up comic from the UK. Welcome to 'Dumb Phones UK'. This channel is a place to share some dumb, or dumber phones, that I've managed to grab in the UK as I found that the world of dumb phones is very US specific.
I am a little bit bored of modern phones, they are all the same, and I found myself being drawn towards dumb (or feature) phones as they offered something different but also could help in reducing screen time. One thing I do promise is that we wont have any iPhones or Samsung sad slab phones on here, we might have some quirky Android/KaiOS phones but we will not be having boring old 'smartphones'.
So, expect different phones, some technical(ish) discussions and some poor jokes from me, it's not as if I do it for a living!
Have a lovely one, and catch you soon!

well dun mate 🍻
Good review, thanks! I've just ordered this to try to replace my iPhone 14 pro. After using it for two years, I think it's way too big and heavy for my needs. That said, for me the main shortcoming of iOS is the fact that there is no way to play two audio source at the same time. I want to listen podcasts/audiobooks/tts web pages while listening some background music from Spotify. While it's not super straightforward, that's possible on Android. So, even if it cannot become my daily driver, at least it will be my "walkman".
Cat phone ki battery 2000 mein nice🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Should of had the sky in shot on the iphone x like on the Jelly.
Hi does google meet work?
how does the phone handle things like Facebook, Facebook marketplace, Messenger and Discord? all apps I frequently have to utilize and a bit of a concern for someone looking to get this rugged phone
I want to down grade to this phone- BUT I need to know if the app LIFE 360 will work on it . Does anybody know if LIFE 360 app works on this phone?
I've just got this phone and when I receive an incoming call, the external screen doesn't show the contact name, just the phone number. Do you know how to fix this? On your other videos, I've seen this isn't the case for you!
Heya, I didn't do anything special to get it showing I just made sure that the person was added to the contacts on the phones memory. Assuming you've done that?
@@DumbphonesUK Yes I have, no joy! Turns out my handset has a number of issues including a dodgy mic, so I'll be returning! Thanks so much for your reply, and keep up the good work :)
Hi Joseph, I am considering buying this device and I am worried about something rather silly, but reinforced by European reviews of the S22 Flip on Amazon - the phone does not work for calls in Europe. Was that the case for you? Do you reckon this is connected to the fact it was originally sold by t-mobile and only those sim cards work? I'd much appreciate an answer as the phone looks lovely
Heya, I can only talk for the UK, as I've not tested abroad, I can take it to Germany with me in a few weeks and check, but I've found that the calls/signal etc all work as expected. I've not experienced any call drop outs etc.
@@DumbphonesUK thank you so much!
I used one last year from October til December. General performance is alright, but the camera never really focused and that annoyed me.
Hmm, my camera takes a little while to focus but does in the end. What did you pick up instead?
*I thought the physical navigation buttons has lights? Mine doesn't light up. How can I turn it on?*
Heyyaaa, apologies, I've not been able to get these to work either (if they do have lights) which I don't think they do. Where did you read that?
Hey man, does this phone have a headphone jack?
Sadly not, it does come with a USB-C to aux, but no jack.
Test never knew about the hash tag feature!
Does the cat s22 flip show contact name when someone calls you on the front notification screen? mine just shoes the number and when i open the phone the call picks up. NEED HELP!
Mine shows the name
Heya, I didn't do anything special to get it showing I just made sure that the person was added to the contacts on the phones memory. Assuming you've done that?
@@DumbphonesUK actually i figured out that the contacts saved with country code dont show on the front screen! the ones saved without the country code do show!
Would you need to keep swapping your sim can between the dumb phone and the smartphone to access whatsapp and phone calls on both of them? Say I went out with the dumbphone and just used the smart phone at home. Thanks for the informative video mate.
Does Viber work on this phone?
Ohh I've never tried it, I'll add it to my list. My assumption would be yes, but let me test and get back to you.
I saw someone commenting on one of your previous video that the external storage doesn’t work and she used 128g SD. Can you please confirm?
What about youtube premium? Does that work even after closing
Yes. UA-cam music premium works too, with lid closed
Yes
How do you start a new paragraph typing using the TO keyboard?
Thank you 😊 informative and useful. Keep the videos coming!👍
Thank you! Will do! 🤩
But what about if you are on a call and you have it on speaker and close it? I tried it cut the call off, don’t know if there is a settings switch or not
Subbed 😊
Thanks for subbing!
Great video! Could you please do a screen size comparison with the CAT S22? As you've only shown the outside. Thanks so much!
Ohhh great shout, I knew there be something I’d miss! Sure, I’ll add it to my list!
Hi Joseph, thanks for your great reviews! Has you tried using it as Navigator with Google Maps ? What about with barcodes, qr-code as for electronic tickets ? Is it still manageable and usable even if the small screen ? Thanks!
Heya, I’ve just released a long old video on the Jelly Star which you might like. To answer your questions: * Google Maps works really well, covered off in the video and not too small on screen. * QR codes all work fine, not had a problem.
Great video. Do you know if it has root or can be installed? Because I need to turn off the screen while mirroring without damaging the mirrored image.
Great question, I’ve not looked in to it, let me have a look and come back to you.
@@DumbphonesUK ok.
Does this phone support RCS messaging ?
I was trying to get pokemon go running on my cat s22 flip. Mine doesn't run anywhere near as smoothly as yours does. Are there some settings I need to change to get it working? Heck mine won't even load
Hi Joseph, really enjoying your videos. Just wondering if you had any intention of reviewing the Qin f21 pro? It seems to be a close competitor to the S22 in terms of smart yet dumb. Apologies if other people have asked this already !
Annoyingly I had one a year or so ago and didn't make any videos for it and then had to send it back and moved on. I will look to get another one and start making some vids. What are you looking for on it? Anything specific?
Do you know if this phone will work with a three UK sim?
I've got a 3 sim and it worked as expected, so yep!
I'm not sure how much I trust this app. It collects key strokes and a lot of personal data.
What device are you using? If it's a Samsung it's included with a T9 keyboard (3x4)
Is there 5g
Ahhh tooting. I don't miss it. Though I prefer the antelope. Great channel you have a new sub 👍
Thanks and welcome! I'll be honest, me too but it's a good walk away to the other one! A great pub quiz there!
I bought one for 30 pound but i think my hinge is broken 😕 can you show how hinge really work on orginal intact phone
Thank you for doing exactly every question I had about this phone. I'm binging your videos so I know what I'm getting into
You are welcome!
Hi there my friend, love the channel. Do you know if the CAT S22 has voice recorder ? And what kind of quality it is ? Apologies if you've answered this before
It does have a voice recorded but it can't record calls just to be clear! Thanks.
Facebook and opera looks like a java version
Can you review any phone that has an e-ink screen?
Ordered a Bigme Hibreak with e-ink which is due in a few weeks so will be doing that one ASAP!
is there a way to turn off word suggesting? it wont let me text normally. like im trying to get to the letter y and all it gives me is w, wwf, xxx.
If you press #, it switches between different modes. When you see "ab" written at the top instead of "En", the keyboard will let you type normally.
I used to have a microphone on my keyboard that I used for speech to text. Does anyone know how to get it back? All I see is the microphone to send audio messages
Hi Jospeh. Love all these videos and are really helpful for someone looking for a 'dumbER' phone. Just wondering if you know whether it will work with a Tesco mobile sim rather than having to buy a whole new sim?
I've tested with EE, Smarty, Three and Vodafone and all worked as expected so I'd say Tesco will work fine!
There's a "wake on open" setting under settings also in call settings you can set it to not answer when you open clam shell i have it to not answer by default on open just in case i want to screen the call.
great video thanks i am waiting for 1 of those to be delivered in a few days , i look forward to using my iphone as a frizby of the nearest motorway bridge 😊👍
Hahaha, hows it been with the cat?
Can we have a telephone conversation with Bluetooth headphones?
Can we pay in a store with the cat s22 ?
Nope, that's not possible sadly.
Can we pay in a store with the cat s22 ?
Nope, that's not possible sadly.
what a waste of a video, just get to the point
Haaaa! 🤣 Hopefully the chapters help you get to the bit you want, but feedback taken on board.
I found it useful
