Review: Excellent value for the money. Has all the features! - I have to say that this phone is an excellent value in every aspect. It has any feature you could want except wifi but this phone is NOT considered a smartphone by AT&T so you DO NOT HAVE TO PAY THE $30 DATA PLAN FEE and you can use the $10 per month unlimited data!! I bought this phone for my husband because it seemed like the best alternative to an iPhone and similar touchscreen smartphones without the issue of having to pay the ridiculous "Smartphone Plan" fee. The camera works great even though it has no flash. You just set it to night mode and can get a better picture in low light settings. The internal data is plenty generous and you can also add an SD card for more memory. My husband particularly likes this because it means he can use it just like an iPod or any other MP3 player and it also has the built in radio so he can listen to it while at work (he is a residential/commercial remodeler) if he doesn't want to listen to his stored music. You can still answer calls right from the earbuds while using the radio feature. The touch screen is great, the screen size is great. It has fast response time from input or touch. We have absolutely no complaints at all. Some people might not like the idea of not having wifi, but if you think about it, if you buy any similar phone you're going to have to pay the stupid $30 extra monthly fee even if you do not use AT&T internet. With this phone you can just get the $10 unlimited data plan and be done with it. The internet works great on this phone and is fast in our experience. Very happy with the purchase and the price is amazing. Call quality is great as with all Nokias. No issues whatsoever and highly recommended! Review: Work as describe - Work well with T-mobile network. The touch response can be slow at time but overall work as expected. Due to the lack of the real keypad, some Java games will not work on this phone. Call quality is good and battery life is above average. GPS will take awhile to locks into the signal. My locations and A-GPS will required connection to the internet via your carrier data plan. ## Features - Unlocked quad-band GSM cell phone compatible with 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies and US/International 3G compatibility via 850/900/1900/2100 UMTS/HSDPA plus GPRS/EDGE capabilities - Fun, stylish, and affordable 3G-enabled touchscreen with 3.2-inch display; download apps, games and music from Nokia's Ovi Store - 2-megapixel camera/camcorder; Bluetooth stereo music; microSD memory expansion to 16 GB; access to personal/work e-mail and instant messaging services - Up to 4.5 hours of 3G talk time (7 hours on non-3G), up to 438 hours (18.25 days) of standby time - What's in the Box: handset, rechargeable battery, charger, wired stereo headset, wrist strap, car mount and holder, user manual - Unlocked cell phones are compatible with GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile as well as with GSM SIM cards (e.g. H20, Straight Talk, and select prepaid carriers).

This runs the old Nokia operating system for which there are very few apps available. **Q: This is a regular sim card phone right?** A: Yes, it is a standard size SIM. **Q: WhatsApp imo run the phone** A: No, WhatsApp just stopped working on these phones (Nokia old ones). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent value for the money.

I never owned a smartphone before, so I must say I love it. Its been a month and I am still getting my way around it. For now, here are some of the pros n cons The OVI maps are preloaded. I can find the restaurants near by or explore the area. Love the OVI store and the free apps Sound quality is good.. can't get better than this Setup Email(s)with ease Battery life is good upto 3 days, if you are not using much 2 MP Camera. Good when using during the day. Cons: No Wifi. Maps: Its a bit difficult for me to use the maps.. When I add the route and say start drive, it says correct for few mins and if you happen to drive over or under a bridge or flyover, it tries to recalculate the route. Its not helping me much. I downloaded the OVI suite for PC so that I can sync contacts or maps with my phone. It is the worst, it does not even recognize my phone. So I ended up transferring files via Bluetooth. Memory: very small. 4 GB is not enough you have to delete cache from browsing now n then. Overall, I like the look and feel of the phone. You can't expect more for such a price. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/2576132-5230-quad-band-gsm-cell-phone-unlocked](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/2576132-5230-quad-band-gsm-cell-phone-unlocked) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
