AMAZING PHONE. Handy, functional, fast, discreet, & cute. No sacrifices! Why donât more people know?
***Updated after more than TWO years of owning this phone: Still going strong and I still love this phone just as much as ever. It has remained amazing and I still get compliments all the time on it. The functionality and usefulness of the phone hasn’t changed, and I’m still completely pleased. I want for nothing. Still so glad to have a small, fully-app’d, fully packed phone that can fit in the tiny pocket in my purse or just my pants pocket! I won’t replace this phone until it conks out or something, and it hasn’t yet! And even after that happens, the only phone I would ever own going forward is another one of these little Jellys (whatever is the newest model at the time) – I’d never, never go back to a big phone. The Jelly phone ruins you for big phones because you pretty immediately appreciate (get attached to) your much less conspicuous lifestyle with the Jelly. Thank you!! Please keep making these high quality small phones.***Updated at 9 months: My opinion hasnât changed at all; in fact, I only feel more strongly that this phone is AMAZING and WONDERFUL and a RELIEF from the heavy, big phones. It hasnât let me down once. No regrets. I would buy this phone again in a heart-beat if something ever happened to this one. I cannot see myself ever going back to larger phones. There would be no reason to.SUMMARY: AMAZING. LITTLE. PHONE. So handy, functional, fast, high-quality, discreet, and attractive. Truly, no sacrifices have to be made. Why donât more people know about this?PROS:-Great size: Easy to throw in purse or pocket or fanny pack-Nice resolution: Pictures look sharp and quality; easy to read screen for typing-Works with Verizon (YES IT DOES! Just follow the tips below; donât believe Verizon)-Lanyard: Makes carrying the phone so carefree-Customizable in every way-Fast, functional, intuitive: You donât have to sacrifice any of the things youâre used to having on a larger smartphone-Battery life: I use it heavily every day and it has a wonderful battery life. I do not stream videos or music, except for sometimes, but I do tons of texting, calling, reminder app-ing, and some internet searching. ***I get at least two whole days – sometimes almost three days – of battery life before needing to charge. That is holding true to this day â I have had this phone for 9 months now.-Customer service: Very responsive-Typing: Multiple ways to type; keyboard can rotate; I make fewer mistakes on this phone than my previous big smartphone-Dictation! Works perfectly! If you donât like typing, then problem solved. I do this a lot!-Hotspot: Works great â I use it for my laptop at home and the speed is perfectly quick and reliable-Camera: Works great; pictures are crisp, sharp, and high-quality looking; camera is easy to use-Google Maps: Unbelievably convenient to have this great, popular GPS app on such a small deviceCONS:-Phone case: I really like the concept of the skin case (and itâs lightweight and lets you see the pretty green phone) but the only issue is that the case is not protective of screen side of the phone; the case stops below the edge of the screen side of the phone and so if you drop the phone on its screen side, the glass will be slap against the ground with no buffer.-Speakerphone might be a little quirky sometimes: Before I figured this out, the person I was speaking to (if I have them on speakerphone) would hear an echo of their own voice â I soon figured out that if you turn down the speaker volume to maybe just above the halfway, and not too high, then the echo for them goes away.-Vibration when calls connect: Itâs not a big deal and I got used to it, but it seems unnecessary.-Messages app that came on the phone didnât send/receive clear pictures; they were grainy pictures. I fixed this by changing to a different messaging app (Textra). Not sure why that helped!-Ejector tray for SIM card may be difficult to open. Obviously, you have to use the ejection tool but still I struggled to get the tray open. I almost couldnât and I worried I was breaking something in the process.-Limited ringtones/sounds, but of course you can always download others.GENERAL:Iâve had such an incredibly positive experience with this phone. Iâve had it for 9 months so far and havenât changed my mind yet. Iâm almost 30 years old and so Iâm in the group of people who have had small cell phones in the past and really miss them for their less-intrusive size/presence.I always preferred the qwerty keyboard from the slider phones I used to have, but alas you canât find that anymore (I typed so much faster on those). But, this Jelly 2 phone does have essentially a qwerty keyboard (on the screen) that feels much closer to the size and ease of use as those old sliders; this is because the Jelly 2 screen is smaller so it makes the keyboard (when you rotate the phone longways left-right) feel just the right size for your thumbs. The Jelly 2 phone does the swipe texting/typing, which I really like. It saves a lot of time. I no longer rotate the phone and type with my thumbs because Iâve gotten used to the smaller keyboard when the phone is standing upright, but the option is always there. Also, thereâs always the option of dictation! Itâs so easy!The Jelly 2 phone can do everything a “normal,” larger smartphone can do. You can add any apps, you can remove many apps that came already on the phone. You can customize everything just like on a regular-sized smartphone. It was very easy to get used to the smaller screen size â after all, that was the size of screen we all had for a long time. Trust me, it isnât hard to get used to the screen size or see/read the writing. Most/all webpages Iâve used have been friendly to this screen size and Iâve had no problems accessing web content or scrolling around pages; also, the zoom abilities are very convenient (with pinching the fingers, etc.). The phone is super-fast and functional (absolutely as good as the best larger smartphones out there); I have never felt that anything was sacrificed for the size/system.It has made me so incredibly pleased and happy to be able to throw this phone in my purse, my pocket, my fanny pack. It’s so lightweight and small. I can whip this little phone out and can do anything I need to; then just throw it back in my purse/pocket/fanny pack/whatever, and youâd never know it was there. That means so much to me.The Jelly 2 phone came with all the Google apps including Google Photos. I personally prefer to use standard gallery apps, rather than Google Photos, so I simply downloaded one. I also chose a new reminder app (SimplestReminderPro) and it has been absolutely wonderful.There is a feature on this phone called App Blocker and it is I think the main place you can go for customizing the app running restrictions. You should experiment with restricting/limiting app running time so that you can conserve battery. I also disabled or uninstalled any apps that I wouldnât use.It was important to me that Google Maps was on this phone – it works great! It shows you plenty enough (all you need to see), gives you heads up, and works beautifully. It works just like what youâre used to. How extremely convenient and useful to be able to have Google Maps on such a small device.I like the programmable button on the side (the red one). You can program a short press, two short presses, and a long press to do something automatically (like turn on the flash light, turn on the camera, take a screen shot, and the plenty of other things).My Jelly 2 phone kit came with a phone case, a lanyard, and two screen protectors. I LOVE the lanyard. It is the perfect companion to this phone. I just loop the lanyard around my wrist while Iâm using the phone, and it is like a safety net in case I drop the phone. Also, it looks super cute to carry it on the wrist.***Here are the tips for making this phone work seamlessly with Verizon:Iâm on a big family plan with Verizon. My SIM card was underneath my battery in my old phone, so I couldn’t leave the phone on while I took out the SIM card (as some other reviews have stated that you need to). So, I turned off my old phone, took the battery out, took the SIM card out; then put the SIM card into the little tray in the Jelly 2 phone (which was also turned off). Once you get your SIM card into the Jelly 2 phone, turn the Jelly 2 phone on and go through all the setup questions/settings. You will need a wireless internet source in order to complete the setup; I used my husbandâs phoneâs hotspot. Once you get everything up and running, go in the Setting menu, choose the Network and Internet folder, click Mobile Network, and make sure that your 4G Calling is turned on. Right below the 4G Calling is the âPreferred Network Typeâ â make sure you set that to LTE. Also, it was easiest to retrieve all my old contacts from Google where they had always been backed-up while I was using my old phone.SUMMARY:I am blown away by this phone and am really grateful/relieved to have it – even still after 9 months I feel the same. Itâs incredibly convenient and quick/easy to use. I get so many compliments on it; people, especially young people (which is a little surprising), really seem to want something small and handy like this and want to make the switch. Who wouldn’t?? This phone makes me feel like Iâm back in the âoldâ days when the phones were pocket-sized and they didnât visually dominate your purse or your life. Itâs nice to have something that does what you need it to do and more (i.e. doesnât sacrifice any modern speed, quality, or capabilities) and yet doesnât seem like such a heavy symbol of importance â both physically and metaphorically speaking. Sorry, but phones are not truly important in life, even though they are very useful. Phones do not equal happiness, self-esteem, or the only answer to boredom. Itâs unfortunate that cell phones have evolved to be the large, dominating objects that they are. Thatâs where this Jelly 2 phone comes in. Itâs discreet, handy, functional, and attractive. It can do everything you want and more. It has turned out to be a high-quality product. I wanted a phone that would match my minimalist lifestyle. The Jelly 2 phone is it, and Iâm still so happy with it.

Do not mistake this for a kids’ phone or a toy or a joke. This is a happy little phone.
I love the feel of this in my hand. I love the color. I love the memory stats. The battery hangs in there for phone setup and turning off and on and changing all the settings. Lowest it’s been has been 49% after a day of playing with it and setting it up. It doesn’t run hot. The cover they sent with it is just as cute as this phone. The screen resolution is so good you will do a double take and say Wow. You are thanking whomever created this for doing so. The keyboard is small but perfectly doable. You just type and with few errors. It comes with different sounds than the usual. What a nice surprise that was. I have been using i.Atype keyboard for years so that was the first install. It is a keyboard that allows you to adjust the height of the keyboard. So that works really well to make the keys a little larger without having to turn the phone a landscape view.This phone is a real phone. You just use it like your regular phone only you are not lugging around a big bulky, or too tall and skinny phone. This fits the hand like a glove. One-handed stuffs works well. Icons look gorgeous on the screen.It’s a cool little happy phone and I’m very happy with it. I’m older so the SOS button is good. There is a red button on the side for setting that up, but right now the red button turns on this really bright LED light. It updated to from 10 to 11 without hiccup. I am using a 256 gb SD card.Only things I wish were different. I have to try to figure out how not to share my sd card with the phone, and I wish that the screen saver that is on the phone was a better quality. I’m still exploring but just wanted to come on and say don’t worry with it. It works. Oh, it has reminder feature. You tell it to remind you to get up and take a walk, etc. I use Tello as my phone service. Calls are clear and crisp. No dropped calls so if you using Tello not to worry. Great service provider for a great phone. They use T-Mobile towers.If you turn on the sound enhancement feature, the volume of this phone, and the clarity of the sound will leave you sockless. Makes a great little music player. And the equalizer works. I’m not a geek so can’t get into all the endless little mechanical details. All I know is I am getting rid of great phone, and I bought this phone and have no regrets.

High-end Phone in Itty-bitty Package for Value Price
As the title says, this is a surprisingly nice phone for it’s size and price. Minimal/no bloatware, plenty of memory and storage, fast speed, and it fits in the palm of my hand. It’s actually smaller than the old Nokia 3310!This phone is for the minimalist in more ways than one. It’s for the person that wants a smart phone in the smallest feasible form factor, while also willing to give up some of the functionality that comes with a larger screen. This is for someone who doesn’t spend much time on their smart phone – especially typing on it. However, It is sufficient for reading, viewing, and watching . It also has a great face-id, which makes unlocking the phone very fast. Phone calls are clear, loud, and audible for both me and the other person. The speaker works great also.My phone works on the T-Mobile/Metro prepaid network just fine. I did have to call the carrier to get it transferred over, but that took only 5 minutes.Ok, the negative – that which keeps me from giving it 5 stars in the finger print reader. In a word, it’s atrocious. The programming of your fingerprints is a tedious and time consuming activity. Even if you program the same (*&^$% finger print into all 5 memory slots, it STILL won’t read my finger print! Thank goodness it’s got a good Face ID.If you want an extremely small size and are willing to sacrifice some functionality that comes from a small screen – get this phone!

compré este celular en junio 2022 y para febrero 2023 ya no sirve el botón fÃsico rojo que usaba para tomar capturas de pantalla. algún centro unihertz en México, D.F. o area metropolitana? para que arreglen el botón.

Je suis vraiment satisfaite de cet smartphone.

Ik was al lang op zoek naar iets wat kleiner was, en toch hetzelfde doet als de grotere toestellen. Iemand dacht dat het een mp3 speler was, hij was verbaast dit toestel te zien. Oke beeld en letters zijn erg klein, maar googelen doe ik toch liever op mijn PC

J’ai pu tester ce téléphone pendant 24h, et je n’ai qu’une chose à dire, fuyez et ne l’achetez pas. J’ai du a 3 reprises redémarrer le téléphone. Il plante en pleine activité d’une application, le Wi-Fi se coupe intempestivement, le réseau téléphone est médiocre, l’antenne WiFi ne capte plus votre routeur a à peine 5 mètres de distances….Sur le papier c’est bien .. mais en vrai, fuyez ce téléphone. La batterie se décharge a une vitesse grand V, et surchauffe du téléphone… les applications installées tel que TOMTOM-GO (GPS) doivent être redémarrer au moins 6 fois avant de fonctionner pendant 10 minutes et puis le téléphone freeze… enfin bref. A éviter
