I bought junk phones & found SUSPICIOUS messages...

- I bought a lot of ~75 untested phones from Goodwill... and surprisingly, a lot of the phones turn on! In this video, I go through a bunch of these phones and see what interesting stuff I can find...
I'm planning to do a WhatNot auction where I auction off a bunch of the phones from this lot. If you sign up using my link, you'll get a $15 credit to use on anything! www.whatnot.co...
To find and bookmark my upcoming stream, search for my profile "jacobr" and click on my stream called "Tons of PHONES" and bookmark it. You will be able to bid on items during the auction, and I will likely have some stuff in the Buy Now section as well soon.

Who else here used to have a phone with a slide out keyboard?
Me
Surprisingly i had the same lg that you used that was dirty
14:36 the wallpaper anime is called "kuroko no basket"
Me
My parents tossed it when we moved
It's crazy and hilarious that so many people don't even reset their phone when they get rid of it.
My dad used to have one. That was a Samsung Galaxy phone that the keyboard slides out.
Turns into a phone that has a keyboard that you can play games on.
6:21 FBI Surveillance Van? What the Hell is in your search history? LOL
Those are wifi names lol
WHY IS IT CALLED THAT@@SmokinSilicon
@@n0ahstechthingsI have those ssids here too. It’s just people playing jokes and naming them serious organizations,
@@PJ-sv4iw lol
I had the Canadian version of that for a while as my wifi's name "RCMP surveillance van 1 & 2" for my 2.4 and 5ghz names 😎
I could hear some people actually looking for said van at times as they walked by 🙈😂
When accesssibility is on, you have to double tap on thescreen to select items. and that applies to turning off accessibility
ZTE is sold in Australia under various prepaid carriers. I believe it’s a Chinese OEM
ZTE actually made American models for American consumers. Or at least I think. I’m a tech wiz, and work with phones and computers
@@McPikeVHS Yes you're right. I had a ZTE Axon 7 that I gave up, and now I don't think I gave it enough of a chance to be a good phone.
The trouble with the phone, imo, was ZTE itself. It always held it's cards close to the vest. Forum moderators and tech-help people were only allowed to say certain things re. their products, especially if there were problems and questions that needed addressing. It's hard when a phone maker from a communist country gets to dictate the conversation.
It's why I left, but that was no reason to leave the phone. For its time (2016) it had a lot to offer.
It actually makes sense a lot of these phones are recent. People have been switching back to basic, or "dumb" phones.
11:22 the bezels 😂
Bruh, after all these consoles and phones I gotta know has ANYONE reached out and been like “yo that was my shit you had in video titled whatever it was in?”
From the phones on this channel - no not yet. For consoles on Jacob R - I have had a handful of people comment or send a message saying something along the lines of "that's my console!" But I've never tried to get any kind of verification that they're telling the truth. Because frankly anyone could comment and say "that's my console!" and we'd never know if it's legit or not lol
Petition to pass a law making it so all your messages must be publicly read if you don't reset your phone/PC before getting rid of it. If you don't value your privacy, we'll value your embarrassing messages.
That might be a bit over the top 😂😂 but yeah videos like these are definitely good reminders that you should reset your devices when getting rid of them
@SmokinSilicon bro, please sanitize and clean the phones before using
After all these years of using that one flip phone, I had no idea if you held down the D pad arrow it would bring up the tip calculator
You can put a AT&T SIM card in that Cingular phone Cingular is at&t
Oh good point 🧐 I’ll try that
@@SmokinSiliconbro I’m gonna post you a flip phone
16:23 I remember there being a minigame like that in one of the Brain Training games for the DSi, but instead you had to handwrite words letter-by-letter with the touchscreen, if I recall correctly. I completely forgot about this, but that sparked the memory of that minigame
Phones in this video, and carriers:
0:18 - Pantech Pursuit II (at&t social net, 2011)
1:32 - ZTE Blade Vantage (verizon, most likely 2017 from earilest unboxings of the phone.)
1:52 - HUAWEI Honor 5X (UNLOCKED (TravelTab?, international release was most likely 2016, since there are videos of the phone from 2015.)
2:45 - alcatel Raven LTE (TRACFONE Wireless, inc., 2018) [Finishes boot at 4:34]
2:54 - LG VX8100 (Verzion Wireless' V CAST, 2005)
4:27 - Samsung GALAXY GRAND Prime {SM-S820L} (TRACFONE Wireless, inc. variant, 2015) [Also at 6:14]
6:32 - LG Ally {VS740} (Verizon Wireless, 2010)
8:22 - LG Phoenix 3 (at&t, 10th March 2017) [Finishes boot at 14:24]
8:37 - AT&T/ZTE F160 (AT&T World Phone, 2010)
9:34 - LG Revere 3 (Verizon, most likely 2015 from earliest unboxing of the phone)
10:53 - verizon Jetpack MiFi {Model 7730L} (2017)
11:38 - LG K20 V (verizon, 2017)
13:41 - motorola moto E5 (Unsure of carrier as it wasn't shown, 2018)
14:13 - LG CG255 (cingular, 2006)
15:13 - LG (dear god help me because it could be any of the following: AX-145/AX-140/Aloha/UX140/200c) (alltel, 2007)
BONUS - More original slogans and advertisment campaigns for one phone!
Pantech Pursuit II - Pantech says that it's the last messaging phone you will ever need, even saying that it's the perfect 3G for "NE1" (anyone)
Samsung GALAXY GRAND Prime - It's the "Premium Device without the Premium Price."
LG Ally - Allie's friends tell her to use the phone's "with Google" features to go to local shops and use social media features in the middle of an Iron Man 2 war. (I've no idea of who the main villain is in Iron Man 2.) with the tagline "Is it a smartphone? Or something better?"
Iirc the villain in Iron Man 2 was the Russian guy with the electric whips. Could be wrong tho.
So where in the video are these suspicious messages...?
Average clickbait 🤷♂️
Obviously, im pretty sure that emoji didn't exist yet and an old LG phone doesn't have that android text format
You have both models of my first tinker phones lol. ZTE had a bad charging port and the slider android had a bad ribbon cable lol 7:35 me too lol. I remember watching the whitest kids you know, og smosh and so many more things you could do lol. Subway surfer, cut the rope, flappy bird, office jerk. Was amazing early days of the new internet
these are super fun to watch
That's basically something which I still do! Have around 110 phones in my collection, including some phones my family used.
You seem to be on the right track, here in Germany you can buy like a Pack that includes a rental car, hotels etc. and then you can do like a road trip throughout different parts of the USA and since it also has a translator built in on the bottom of the screen it probably is some sort of GPS for tourists.
for the samsung phone you can turn off the accessibility by holding down the volume buttons i think
Why the hell is there A FBI SURVILLENCE VAN WIFI
They’re always watching…
@@SmokinSilicon well if i say something illegal they will probably find me in INDIA
My dad put my wifi as "SpaceXsurveillence" lmao
@@Circlesmartvlogs that's op💀
1:35 ZTE was a quite common Chinese phone brand a few years ago. They made decent equipment. I remember using a flip dumbphone made by them as a secondary device about a decade ago
Maaan i love and missed those slide phones. The Sidekick looking ones. Is my all time favorite phone design sadly we don't get those anymore
The phone at 6:48 is the LG Ally. I own this phone and is one of my personal favorites in my collection.
12:55 why is there an app called zoo craft lmao
Accessibility: From my experience the Accessibility settings allow you to do actions in the setup to bypass theft protection. (Yes i was so dumb to factory reset a phone before connecting it to wifi and having issues with that)
15:27 ofc orange startup
I am German, so i can translate for that TravelTab phone:
Fahren nach=Drive to
Verlauf=History
Karte=Map
Sicherer Hotspot=Safe Hotspot
Sprachübersetzer=Language translator
Nur Notrufe=Only emergency calls (that was rough)
10:03 vorm.=10:03 am
All of it was translated very literally
Thank you for doing that.
@@keithbrown7685 no problem
I forgot this channel existed
Some Sing sweet home Alabama in all of this guys Video Please😅
The lg phone has face filters like snapchat lol. If you throw in a sd card and go to camera settings, shot mode and face effect. It's real funny and would be worth exploring in a new video
Had me a Samsung Entro over 10 years ago that had a slider keyboard 🤓 first ever "smart phone" i had. It taught me a valuable lesson about never buying a cheap phone 😬 what a piece of junk that was
ZTE and Huawei were my shiz back in the day LOL they still make good phones for cheap!
The travel tab thing is an tablet, and not a phone. İ can only say we grew (tech)
Yo I just realized you’re Jacob R! Didn’t know you had 2 channels lol
Yea so with the one where every app keeps crashing, that's because you no longer have enough memory to run google play services. I have a gingerbread phone running kitkat which does that
Seeing old flip phones and crud like that makes me smile for no reason.
6:56 looks like android gingerbread
15:17 That's the same phone I'm using right now. It's a 2017 Alcatel 5044S 🤦
1:40 my first phone was a ZTE and it was so crappy and slow and the camera was bullcrap 😂
I hope it wasn't an Axon 7. I had a good time with the phone. But a lousy time with ZTE. Being a company out of the PRC, they were terrible at being forthcoming about problems people were having. I was on the USA forum, and the conversation was stifled somehow, because the support people weren't allowed to comment on what was happening with the phones, problems etc.
Hey man I love your videos keep it going
CALL BOB
Wait. I think that acetel phone was on the first 48 show. I swear i saw that white Ford pick up truck picture on on the show.
ZTE is a chinese company like Huawei, they did good phones back in the day.
Mikä se yks puhelinvalmistaja oli, jota en nyt muista?
12:35 it doesn’t work if you have the microphone access for the app turned off
the Samsung startup sound feels nostalgic even though i never used it
15:26
my s6 edge had that boot noise in 2016 was a great phone
My parents used to have that lg 1.3mp flip phone when I was young
Writing this before i watch, if that piece of shit, garbage, hellacious phone known as the LG Xenon is in this video, im going to have Nam flashbacks
Wish i had my lg slide phone i loved it probly more than my google pixel 6
3:12 wow VCast damn that's like 2009 Verizon
The LG Verizon phone is the exact same phone my mom had
I had that lg slide phone but it had a red keyboard
I definitely would use some of this phone for something after I wipe them of course
How do you get on whatnot?
iswg too many fonez is my fav series bc its on my level of tech
The phone in the thumbnail is the LG ally and I have it in my collection and I like it.
hey, anyway i can buy that locked lg phone?
FBI Surveillance Van.. what have you been watching
He lost his phone a lot Bob is short for Bobby
These videos are great keep going
Makes sense those came from Alabama and most being flip phones that were used recently. Alabama is a really poor state
how can i buy that
I bought a phone from a garage sale when I was in middle school. A pink razr. I founda photo of a dong on a bread board.
well i have just a pop up samsung keyboard that keeps on bugging out
Awesome 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤😂
0:54 what's that app says 'YP'
You should do more of these ngl
Why the new channel?
I hoped there was nokia phone ( symbia
Version ) phones among them
i wish i had this box of phones........
anime lockscreen lmao
8:33 either lg k8 or lg k9
Who saw the FBI fi-fy💀
Give me the sliding phone
Hey you remind me of someone aren’t you Jacob R
My phone Verizon have
I got my dad a dsi because why not?
15:26
I actually have the same phone shown in the thumbnail
It was ahead of f generation
2048 box number or matche the number boxes
To the guy doing this vid, you need to do some things for future installments.
1) If the phone's screen is dirty, clean it off. It only takes a micro fiber cloth.
2) Stop acting so juvenile and superior about the phones. Always you break out into these little gusts of laughter when there's nothing funny about whatever device you're looking at.
Just grow up a bit and use some common sense.
I noticed FBI wifi name
@@unknownwolf8555 I know what such names are meant for. They're to keep people from trying to take a free ride on your network.
