LBER KR999 Classic Retro Thick Brick Unlocked Cell Phone - Black/White ( Black )

My dad has needed a phone for some time now and he quite honestly cannot handle anything complicated. He just needs something he can use if he needs to make a phone call with and with him being older he needs something a bit larger. This is a true retro style phone which reminds me of the phone I had in the mid 90’s! The phone is unlocked and can work on almost any network (I have tried it on T Mobile but no others). Simply insert a prepaid sim card and you are off and running. The phone has a 4 gig memory and can be expanded up to 8 gig and has the basic features you would want in a phone. It has the ability to play MPS and Audio files with a earphone jack to listen to music or use for phone calls on. The large capacity phone book can hold up to 1000 phone numbers and will track the last 20 of your received, missed and dialed calls in the memory. Even though it is a retro style the phone is outfitted with Bluetooth technology so you can easily pair a set of earbuds or a speaker to the phone. It comes charger, battery, earbud and everything you need to get started you just need to provide your own SIM card. Call clarity is great which is a plus because my father is hard of hearing so I no longer have to yell at him on the phone to get him to hear me which makes me a very happy person.

Enough is enough. I have crushed 4 smartphones in less than a year. I love smart phones but the iPhone are a joke that break if your pockets get to hot. The androids are much more durable and capable but a clumsy idiot like me still broke them. Last year I broke two more smartphones. I never take selfies and I have no Facebook account. I am going back to basics. Let's see if this one will break if it falls. I have doubts it will. I will review again when I have had it a bit longer. I hate myself too much to deserve another smartphone and I am clumsy. Addendum after 24 hours of owning: I love it! I do miss the smart functions of a smartphone, but this one I will not be breaking nor losing. The FM radio does not seem to work. It says on this page to attach the headphone to it. There is not headphone and there is no place to connect the radio. I guess the radio function is just a white noise generator. Other than that, the cellular phone is great! It is super loud, very durable, has real buttons, and a removable antenna which I up graded. 48 hour I left the mini usb cable usb plugged into the cellular phone and tried the FM radio again. This time I received the FM broadcast signal. The usb cable as an antenna is rather touchy, but it works. Range, range, range! This brick has mega range with an aftermarket cellular antenna I put on it! Add that to the amazing battery life, we may have a low disaster bugout phone where cellular still works! Of course, in a high end disaster, cellular is the first to go. This is why the FM radio receiver is important. With the upgraded antenna I have service in places no smartphone could ever have! I keep the smaller antenna for city use. The telephone looks great with both antennas but has that satellite phone look with the extended antenna that is as long as long the cellular phone body itself. I love this phone! Entered the APN settings for T-Mobile and got 2G internet easily for this phone. I love it I will more than likely never get a fragile smartphone again.

This thing is awesome. It's big and clunky just like it should be. I bought the Sim4Globe sim card and it works great. One setup tip - when you put the sim card in and fire up the phone, set it somewhere where you normally have good cell reception. When I first turned mine on it went into 'searching' mode for a long time (looking for a carrier) and then I realized the metal roof on my house was causing a low cell signal - took the phone outside and it hooked up fine. There is a HUGE list of carriers the phone has to cycle through when looking for the local network, so be patient the first time you turn it on.

No 850MHz band, so I can't use it in my area. I saw that when looking over the product, didn't realize it would be totally unable to find a signal as a result. If you are on AT&T, avoid, otherwise a fun novelty phone. A little loud when starting up, and I have not found a way to alter that.

First Item was misplaced in transit but I received it a few days later. Item was packaged properly, love the added sim attachments, clear and easy to set up. Its a little loud when turning on/off but my uncle love it as it is. Ordered another one today because everyone love the classic look. Thank you amazon.

This phone brings back memories of seeing my father carry this in pocket wherever he went when I was a child. It was funny and he knew how to work that phone. This phone is an updated version of that. He still carries it around and he can't lose this one since its too big to lose. Its great if you liked the old brick phone.

Phone does not come unlocked , & Bluetooth does not work!!! Thefore I sent it back!!!! Be warned they charge to send them back the item!!! I am very unsatisfied I paid 60$ & only got back 49$$ total bs!!!!
