Thank you! I got this device from my job to work at home. It’s driving me nuts. I have used an iPhone for over 10 years and this device is like a foreign language to me.

A demonstration of the T9 texting would have been helpful to see exactly how it works. I'm finding out that T9/Predictive varies a lot across phones and some are way more tedious and dumb than others.

Fun fact: if you double press the app tray button, it takes you to a recent apps screen, ie a crude form of multitasking. You can fully close apps from this screen by highlighting an app using the d-pad and pressing the clear button.

Thanks this has been very helpful for my job

Hi. Thanks for your video. I've been trying to hook up a bluetooth headset and having trouble unmuting. I can see where it says unmute and I've tried was would logically be the right buttons but to no avail. Any suggestions?

[dorothymullens]

If you receive a message that can be locked so you want inadvertently delete it when deleting multiple messages?
Thanks Dottie

Is this phone capable of group texting?

Can you take videos with it? Not just single shot photos?

While it may be military grade for dropping, the electronics are a bit iffy. Reboots and dropped calls common, even with out drops.
.. According to our provider it seems to be a common problem. They just replaced phones at first, now Sonim wants them back to warrenty

Hi! Does this flip phone have the capacity to download Spotify? I’m looking for a flip phone with no capability of social media but I still want Spotify. Or at least one that might be able to download social media but not with a touch screen. Basically I don’t want a smart phone in flip form. I want a dumb phone that can still play spotify

Thank you sir for your online assistance. Your service here helped me quite a bit. What I don't like is that it is too cumbersome to send messsges. I do need to know how to put an active call on hold when a second call comes in and to put the first caller on hold. This phone is not very user- friendly!

This phone is so hard to use compared to the samsung Rugby. I haven't figured out how to get it to answer/hang up by simply flipping. The notification led is constantly flashing and I can't find any reason why. I'm not enjoying this phone.

Planning to get this phone so any Video on how to operate all of it's functions.  Looking forward to more video's

Hello, apologies if you already answered this, but does this phone support group text messaging with responses all on the same thread? It seems like others, you can send a group text to multiple people, but the responses come back as individual texts directly back to you and not to the entire group. Thank you for such an informative video.

I can't figure out how to get MMS working on Telus, I can't edit apn settings unless I root. I can't find a Telus firmware file, as they do sell this phone.

I've got a new-to-me XP3. I figured out how to set the alarm, but can't shut it off without going through all the settings and manually disabling the alarm. Is there a better way to shut the alarm off?

[lindanelson]

Just got the phone for my 90 yr old mother. I'm not clear on how
to charge it. LSN

Most non-smart phones I have tried the last several years impose an artificial storage limit for text messages of 500 messages (which is about half a megabyte), and then requires you to delete messages, or turn on auto delete. Does this one have such a limitation?

Does the Sonim XP3 Flip Phone have an alarm?
