## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this phone use regular or mini sim?**
A: It uses regular sim.  It also has an extra slot for micro SD.

**Q: Does this phone have a "hotspot" feature, also can you turn off your caller ID, when you want?**
A: Yes, this phone supports both of those features.

**Q: Phone comes w-"Consumer Cellular' splash screen. Works as phone w-TMobile pre-paid, but no settings for WLAN/WiFi. Possible? Firmware is current.**
A: A fully unlocked Nokia C3-00 with the SIM card removed will give you the choice of using the phone features without connecting to a phone provider. If this does not happen, then the phone software from Consumer Cellular is blocking the settings for the WLAN/WiFi. I have four of these phones and they all give me this choice at start-up. Note: This phone works on the 2G network and AT&T is eliminating in some area the 2G for more room for the 4G network. Something to think about in your future investment.

**Q: I only want a phone that can utilize android apps such as gmail/calendar, yahoo, youtube, and netflix... how does this do for that?**
A: I can vouch for Gmail and Yahoo!, but you will have to contact the manufacturer about Netflix or YouTube. It is not a smartphone after all.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great non-smartphone
*by S***D on December 17, 2012*

I love this phone. I have always been a Nokia fan, but for my last upgrade, I was looking to switch to a QWERTY phone for easy text-messaging, and I discovered that all the technology is going into smartphones, meaning there are very few decent-quality dumbphones available. For my current upgrade, I did some extensive research and decided to go back to Nokia. First of all, I was very happy to have the return of what I think would be expected features on any phone, like a decent calendar and calculator app, and reminders. Here are the other pros/cons of this phone:PROS:1. wIfi- the internet available on this phone is not going to make smartphone users happy, but it makes me happy that I can download wallpapers and ringtones without using data2. conversational text messaging- it doesn't look like an iphone or anything, but it serves it's purpose so you don't have to scroll through your sent messages to see what you were talking about when someone replies a few hrs later3. customizable- you can make all the shortcut buttons do what you want them to do, so you won't accidentally connect to the internet all the time, and can easily access the features that you do use. you can also customize the appearance of the homescreen with preferred shortcuts, such as top contacts, etc4. can check time and missed calls/messages by just pressing the hangup button, do not need to unlock keypad5. nice display, camera is decent, easy to navigate, user-friendly, can change call volume during a call by pressing the navigation key6. Battery life is AMAZING! I used it a lot when I first got it to set it up with some wifi use, and it lasted me 8 1/2 days before my first charge. During the second week of regular use but no wifi, I am now on the 8th day and still have half the battery life remaining.7. Feels sturdy and well-madeCONS:1. Mine came in portugese. There is a utube video that demonstrates how to change the language, so it is fine. There are a few keys you won't use, but no big deal. Came with European charger and a converter.2. Keyboard is a little small for typing. I am getting used to it, but still have some typos.3. Media messaging and internet do not work when you first get it. Need to configure it. The instructions are listed in one of the Amazon reviews by user P Redman (thanks!). I am going to copy and paste below because it is tough to find the specific review. Once configured, everything works great.So after the few quick fixes when the phone arrives, the only real con is a small keyboard. Overall, a great phone and does everything I had hoped for and more. Perfect if you want a decent phone without wasting money on smartphone data plans.Nokia C3 -- MMS and Web settingsMultimedia MessagingMenu > Settings > Configuration > Personal Settings > Options > Add New > Multimedia MsgAccount Name: AT&T MMSServer address: mmsc.cingular.comUse pref.

### ⭐ Nokia+Tmobile support=Terrible choice
*by T***. on July 9, 2011*

I'm on a contract with T-Mobile, and I wanted to get a new phone while still on the contract, so I initially got the Nokia C1-01, which I bought from Amazon as well, however I didn't have access to picture messaging nor internet. I thought that for $120 on Amazon, that the Nokia C3-00 was a steal that combined a good amount of features like wi-fi and EDGE network access and custom shortcuts balanced with a reasonable and frugal price, so I got it.When the phone arrived, it was as simple as just swapping the SIM cards (as it usually is with any GSM phone, and some newer CDMA phones) from my old phone with the Nokia C3-00; I still wasn't able to use picture messaging, but I was sold on the Wi-Fi, the EDGE network support and the Mail and Contacts custom shortcuts.I started doing some occasional internet browsing with the phone; while not all websites are available or nicely viewed on the phone, Google Mobile adapted most of the webpages to be viewed with the phone. While on Wi-Fi I was able to attain speeds of 1500 kbps (kilobits). The phone was UNLOCKED !!!! I was finally going to be able to run Gmail and Google Maps without having to get a Blackberry or an iPhone, and it did so beautifully (read the instructions on how to use Google maps, otherwise you'll be a little frustrated when trying to pan in/out and zoom in/out the map).One good day TMOBILE sent me an update, and the phone did ask me if I wanted to apply the update, but I must have pressed the wrong key and it applied the update which rendered my phone unable to do all the nice things that it was able to do before: I was left with a boring gray background, only the Nokia ringtone left to choose, the custom shortcut keys no longer worked (couldn't even choose something else for them to do), and clicking on the browser did nothing.To cut a long story short, I called Tmobile asking them why they were sending updates to my phone...they were not aware. They told me that they couldn't provide me with much support since I had bought the phone from somebody else...that's perfectly understandable.I was however expecting good customer support from Nokia and they failed to deliver: I called a total of 5 times that solved nothing, and in between those calls, Nokia would advice every time to contact T-Mobile to provide me with values to access the web..I just couldn't get them to understand that it was the applications that failed to respond. I was asking to return the phone to its factory OS condition. They got me to update the phone from OS version 4 to 8, but did nothing either.I am looking now at going to some sort of Android OS phone....Symbian is just dead and you can't get as much info.The phone itself is a nice one, but since I assume that you'll be buying it to run on either AT&T or T-Mobile, I just wanted to warn you about what could happen to you, and complain about the poor Nokia support

### ⭐⭐⭐ Great Phone, bad battery
*by 5***1 on February 9, 2011*

I really like the phone, looks great, sound is great, quick learning curve, but the battery life sucks. I put it on the charger before bed and it doesn't even completely charge after 6 hours of non-use. Then the battery is almost dead after a couple of hours of non-use off the charger. Not sure if it's just a bad battery from the supplier or the design of the phone itself.Not sure why the first time I sent a review in it said 'A kids review' I'm 48 years old!** Update Feb 19,2011 **The battery that came with the phone continued to get worst, to the point that if I wanted to make a call that would last 10 mins or so, I would have to plug it in and use it as a corded phone. I picked up a battery at battery+ and the new battery works well, but added another $35 dollars to the cost of the phone.
