AGM M9 Rugged Feature Cell Phone, 4G Basic Mobile Phone, Waterproof & Drop-Proof, Large Buttons, Large Font, Speed Dial, 3 Card Slots, FM Radio, Flashlight, 2PCS 1000mAh Batteries, for T-Mobile ONLY

REVISED: Works as advertised. Be sure to check the battery upon arrival as it has tape over the connectors to avoid discharge while in transport. The spare does not. I thought I received a defunct product, alas, I was wrong.

I’m so excited to be moving away from using a smart phone. I simply don’t want any of that noise in my life anymore, as a hardwired home PC can deliver all the internet I need or want. No more apps, no more online connectivity, no digital ID, no transactions, and oh yeah, no more GPS. My car isn’t smart either, so it’s back to printing maps off of mapquest for me. Nice! The primary functions this phone does have are talking, texting, flashlight (interesting, since that’s more of a modern phone feature), FM and radio. Texting is oldschool, so there’s no keyboard, meaning you have to often press different numbers multiple times to cycle thru the available letter. Very brief texts – check!The phone itself is larger than the phones of yesteryear that it mimics, so all of the buttons are easily visible. It’s really not much smaller than a modern smartphone, but it’s quite a bit thicker. Still, it’s not overly heavy. Each button provides a satisfying feedback click. At the bottom, it’s got one of those rubber flaps that you have to pop out with a fingernail to access what’s underneath (a replacement flap is included), but it’s so thick and stiff that I can’t manage to pop it out with my very weak fingernails; they simply bend backward or break right off. I have to use a tool, which is unfortunate, since it provides access to the charge port and headphone jack, areas that require frequent access. Besides the extra cover flap, other items included are some fair instructions, a neither short nor long charge cable whose USB-C end plugs into the phone and whose USB-A end plugs into a power source, a wall outlet adapter for the USB-A end of the charge cable, and an extra battery besides the one pre-installed.

If you're looking for a basic, easy-to-use phone without all the distractions of modern apps, this is an excellent choice. It's designed primarily for making phone calls and sending texts, making it perfect for those who want a break from smartphones or need a reliable backup device.Texting is done the old-fashioned way—using the number keypad, where you press each number multiple times to get to the desired letter. It may feel nostalgic for some and a bit of a learning curve for others, but it keeps things simple and straightforward.This phone is compatible with T-Mobile SIM cards and works reliably on their network. It’s slightly larger than older models, mainly due to its thickness, which actually gives it a durable and sturdy feel. It brings back memories of classic Nokia phones—rugged, dependable, and built to last.The screen is small but surprisingly clear and easy to read. One of the standout features is the built-in flashlight, which is bright and very handy—something the original basic phones never included.Overall, this is a great choice for anyone wanting a simple, durable phone that focuses on the essentials. Whether you're not tech-savvy or just want a break from constant notifications, this phone delivers everything you need with no unnecessary extras. I'm very satisfied with its performance and reliability.

This is a small cell phone with physical buttons; no touch screen, and a removable battery. It actually includes a second battery so it can always stay charged up. There is also a physical headphone jack, which has been missing from the latest cell phones for years.The phone is designed similarly to the old Nokia phones of the past, which are known for their durability and simplicity. This will make calls and texts, take a few pictures, and do a few other basic features, but it does not access the internet or have other media like that.The phone is easy to use, compatible with certain regular SIM cards, and includes a USB-C charger, both the cord and the plug are included. The battery is detachable, and there is a second battery as well as a plastic shield that snaps in between the battery and the back of the case to make it more waterproof.The phone makes a great backup or a wonderful alternative to a smartphone for people who are looking for a simpler experience. If you are looking to scale down and stop staring at a iPhone or Android screen all day, this phone is all utility, and it is very good at that. It is much sturdier than your smartphone and has a battery that lasts many days at a time.Overall this phone is definitely a change of pace from the phones that we have been used to over the past 20 years or so, but it is very useful, well made, and will prevent unnecessary distractions such as games and videos from the phone. Well made and so far it's very reliable!
