CAT S22 Flip Dumbphone || Rugged and SMART. The CAT S22 Flip is an excellent device for what it has. It is not the best dumbphone out there, but the CAT includes a touchscreen that makes it easier to use. Also, the CAT S22 operates well in north america and can be unlocked. The CAT S22 Flip is the best of both worlds!

@@MrRetroswag this comment has the same energy as “don’t be depressed, just be happy”. Today’s hyper-addictive technology is quite literally designed to override your brain’s natural cues and willpower and keep you scrolling. That’s hard enough for regular people, but now we’re in the first generation of people who have grown up with technology, whose brains have literally developed in conjunction with this addictive technology and who truly do not know anything else. Now take a person who has been raised to be extremely susceptible to addictive tech, and give them a portable, durable device that is literally on their person 24/7. It’s like giving a person who has been drinking alcohol since baby bottles an infinite bottle of vodka that fits in their pocket. It is hardwired into many of us to be addicted to our screens, which is why the entire world essentially revolves around technology, and in large part specifically smart phones. So, here is a person who has acknowledged that they are spending too much time on their screen. They want to change and are looking for a solution that works for them. In this case, getting rid of the smart phone that enables the addiction. And what do you do? Make fun of them, and tell them not even to try their solution, because just not having an addiction is “so easy”, according to you. Honestly, just say you’re retarded and keep scrolling, man.

I’m not impressed with its predictive text, the fact that you have to select each word before hitting the space button (it doesn’t automatically select the first word given), or capitalize at the beginning of a new sentence. I’m not a fan of the onscreen touch keyboard as the buttons are crazy small and when in use it blocks most of the screen. Plus I like a physical keyboard, and feel if done well t9 can be almost as efficient as a full qwerty keyboard, at least for texting.

Hey Jose, do you know if this device might work on Mint Mobile, since it's a T-Mobile MVNO? Or would I need to have it on a T-Mobile plan for 40 days then request an unlock?

It works on the MVNO's of TMobile without issues :)

This is very impressive. I've been looking to disconnect recently. Having a smartphone has just been exhausting. I want something I could just have for talk and text. However, I do use my phone a lot for listening to podcats and music at work. If I can use KZfaq Premium and Bluetooth on this, it will be perfect.

I'm hoping by the time my contract is up, Verizon will have an equivalent. 1.5 years baby. This is the phone I need.

HI, thank you for the review, I want to get this phone in canada, if i purchase it, will it be a complicated process to unlock it ? Can this be purchased from Cat website that you know of? Thank you so much, Cheers.

As of right now, the only way is to get the phone from TMobile, pay them $100 in prepaid refills and then get it unlocked.

Respect Jose. You do what you do very professionally. I really like this phone, but here in Serbia (Europe-Balkans) it is still not on the market. Do you have any information on whether it will appear on the European market in the near future and what are the other ways to get it?

@JoseBriones 2 жыл бұрын

For now it’s just a matter of waiting. I believe that CAT will release an international version, but they have an exclusivity agreement with T-Mobile as of right now. Maybe by 2022 :)

The texting on this phone is terrible and mine has some kind of flaw where if I have the auto lighting on and open it in the dark the screen doesn’t even turn on.
