Hi Jospeh. Love all these videos and are really helpful for someone looking for a 'dumbER' phone. Just wondering if you know whether it will work with a Tesco mobile sim rather than having to buy a whole new sim?
Does the cat s22 flip show contact name when someone calls you on the front notification screen? mine just shoes the number and when i open the phone the call picks up. NEED HELP!
Heya, I didn't do anything special to get it showing I just made sure that the person was added to the contacts on the phones memory. Assuming you've done that?
@@DumbphonesUK actually i figured out that the contacts saved with country code dont show on the front screen! the ones saved without the country code do show!
Hi Joseph, really enjoying your videos. Just wondering if you had any intention of reviewing the Qin f21 pro? It seems to be a close competitor to the S22 in terms of smart yet dumb. Apologies if other people have asked this already !
Annoyingly I had one a year or so ago and didn't make any videos for it and then had to send it back and moved on. I will look to get another one and start making some vids. What are you looking for on it? Anything specific?
Hi Joseph, I am considering buying this device and I am worried about something rather silly, but reinforced by European reviews of the S22 Flip on Amazon - the phone does not work for calls in Europe. Was that the case for you? Do you reckon this is connected to the fact it was originally sold by t-mobile and only those sim cards work? I'd much appreciate an answer as the phone looks lovely
Heya, I can only talk for the UK, as I've not tested abroad, I can take it to Germany with me in a few weeks and check, but I've found that the calls/signal etc all work as expected. I've not experienced any call drop outs etc.
how does the phone handle things like Facebook, Facebook marketplace, Messenger and Discord? all apps I frequently have to utilize and a bit of a concern for someone looking to get this rugged phone
In my S22 Flip, copper cables are seen when we fold the screen of the programmable button side. Everyone will test, other people also have that problem. For that reason I have not submerged it to the water
I've just got this phone and when I receive an incoming call, the external screen doesn't show the contact name, just the phone number. Do you know how to fix this? On your other videos, I've seen this isn't the case for you!

@@DumbphonesUK Yes I have, no joy! Turns out my handset has a number of issues including a dodgy mic, so I'll be returning! Thanks so much for your reply, and keep up the good work :)
If someone calls me and i dont have them saved as a contact... with their phone number show on the cover screen? If i flip the phone open will it pick up the call or will i have to flip it open then press the green pickup button. I dont want someone i dont know calling me and the number doesnt show on the screen then i flip the phone up and it picks up the call😒
Yes, unsaved phone number would show on the outer screen. You can change the setting - 'Flip to Answer' so that flipping open would not answer the call and you would have to press the green button to answer. Alternatively, you could keep the flip to answer setting on and just press the volume buttons (while the phone is closed) to silent the unknown call.
Directions even when the phone is closed is still more than my smart flip phone is capable of, so consider me jealous. 😝 And great video!
Right?! It was a lovely welcome surprise from the phone! ☺️

I've tested with EE, Smarty, Three and Vodafone and all worked as expected so I'd say Tesco will work fine!

Ahhh tooting. I don't miss it. Though I prefer the antelope. Great channel you have a new sub 👍
Thanks and welcome! I'll be honest, me too but it's a good walk away to the other one! A great pub quiz there!
Does it work with voxi sim? Or any sims from uk like ee etc.
Heya, I've tested the phone with 3, Smarty, Vodaphone, EE and all have worked as expected.
Do you know if this phone will work with a three UK sim?
I've got a 3 sim and it worked as expected, so yep!
How do you set up voicemail on cat s22 flip phone

Does Cat S22 has very high radiation levels in comparison to other phones? As it has warning over the box...

You're making super insightful videos about this phone!! Is it possible to share your location on WhatsApp on the S22 Flip?
My phone gps not working 🥺
How can i solve it?
What's the problem with the GPS? Doesn't load at all? Incorrect location etc?
Does Viber work on this phone?
Ohh I've never tried it, I'll add it to my list. My assumption would be yes, but let me test and get back to you.
