BLU Joy - 2.4", Factory Unlocked Phone - Red

This must be the second most hilarious phone I've ever bought. But seriously for a moment it's not bad at all for the price. Know this is a under average phone, and is by no means advanced. Camera quality is old, but functional and usable. Flashlight is bright. One thing that's funny is that the battery is literally heavier than the phone. Battery life is great. I bought this for my dad because he's unable to learn how to use a smartphone. I'll try to make a clip of it if I get around to it maybe during my Christmas vacation (2023). It's mostly a cheap plastic, but durable enough to bend and withstand a little careless use which is why i bought it.

Worthless piece of junk. Did not recognize any sim card I installed, in either position. Very poor quick-start guide, no actual user manual. This would be difficult to set up or use for a senior who is not used using technology. The quick start guide doesn't even show where to power button is, or the function of any of the buttons! Bought it to replace the Snapfon (that worked well but, seems to be now unavailable) for my 90yo father. The old one was stolen from his unlocked car. The descriptions were similar enough to purchase, but glaring differences. The Snapfon SOS button could be programmed to make calls AND send texts. I had programmed his to call 911 and then send texts to myself and my sister that he had hit the SOS button. (I don't think the value added for the Snapfon Life-alert like services were worth the price.) This phone only calls one number.

I bought this phone a couple of years ago because I needed a non-smart phone to use. I received in on-time and in good condition. I loved the big buttons & larger screen which I really needed. The phone is worth the cost.

I like the phone. Easy to use and love the flash light, you need a memory card to store pictures. Camera sucks but that is normal. Great size. One hand operation. Battery lasts a long time. Only thing that is frustrating is I bought simple mobile and they don't accept this phone since they are upgrading there service. Not many carrier options anymore. Takes standard size Sim card. Straight talk doesn't work either. This phone isn't compatible with any network!!!! Returning

Nice phone

I was advised to purchase this specific phone by a T Mobile supervisor in Washington who was trying to get me NOT to leave T MObile. I had been searching for a very simple flip or brick style phone for my 85 year old parents. This BLU phone arrived with a lot of good press but NO INTRUCTION MANUAL. There was NOTHING online and I searched extensively, even going to the company website. No user manual existed anywhere for this phone. My poor elderly parents got so frustrated with the phone and the speaker, which was advertised as "hearing aid compatible" and oversized for seniors did not perform as promised. They could not hear well on it and between the 3 of us, we never located the speaker function, which would have at least allowed them to hear better. The phone indeed linked perfectly to T Mobile and it LOOKED good. However, it's ridiculous to sell any kind of electronic device without a user's manual. Even though the customer service folks at T MObile almost laugh at you if you ask about a flip phone, I'd like to say, for the record, that the elderly population in this country is huge and my parents are not unique. A smart phone is not what many folks want. And for manufacturers, as well as cell phone companies, to offer little or no decent products for these folks is simply bad business.

When I first looked at this phone the description said it was T-Mobile compatible. When I took to the T-Mobile store and had the SIM card switch over, the phone didn't work. When I went back and looked at the description for the phone, it had completely changed and there was no mention of it being T-Mobile compatible.
