Hello flip phone subreddit, i am looking for a flip phone to replace my smart phone. It doesent need to be anything crazy but ideally I could use 4G or 5G, use Spotify or some other music streaming, and had a camera. Any recs or pointers?
I keep buying these goddamn flipphones.
You only need one right? I already have 5 of them, not counting older 2G models. These, in the picture, are android phones, fully functional and usable in 2026, supporting 4G/LTE and what not. Can run messengers and social media if needed, with some quirks.
And guess what, now I'm eyeing Alt Mive Folder 2. Even though I know it will be a downgrade from my current daily driver Samsung W2018. But Sharp 805SH was also a supposed downgarde from Cat s22, but I still used it for like 6+ months.
The whole "it's a collection bruh" argument sounds like an excuse, I do not display them on a stand like action figures or something, they all are stored in a box, except the one I'm using currently.
Them being relatively cheap doesn't help. This entire picture costs less than whatever the latest iPhone does. Not even ultra pro max deluxe or whatever top end version.
Talk me out of buying another one, I want it, but I don't need it, it's some kind of mental health issue at this point.
Underrated art subject imho. Following are artists' pages respectively, I didn't make any of these.
I know Nokia has a bunch of feature phones that work in Australia, but I want something cool. I loved the look of the Kyocera DuraXV phones and similar but noted that they only work in North America, it seems that a bunch of phones are either locked to Telcos or incompatible with Australian LTE networks. (we also have weird requirements for phones to access our emergency 000 number.
my partner just got me this LG ice cream flip phone!
i just fully charger it but i really don’t know how to turn it on LOL, anyone know how??? it didnt come with a manuel. i tried pressing and holding all the buttons but nothing is happening,,, help!
On a trip to Rio de Janeiro, my wife surprised me with a visit to a hidden gem: the Museu das Comunicações e Humanidades (Musehum). Housed in a historic former telephone hub, this incredible space packs over 160 years of telecommunications history into a beautifully curated exhibition.
Hello this is my first post here, but im here to ask if anyone knows what type of charger my kyocera k010 flip phone uses. my original charger broke and I've been having a hard time finding the exact type of charger it uses. Help would really be appreciated :DD
im from the philippines. my folder does this thing where after a reboot, it can make and receive calls, but past a day, calling capabilities are gone. i can still use mobile data and text tho. the sim i use is smart, since that's what was recommended for the phone across multiple subreddits.
just wanted to ask if anyone knows how to restore calls for my mive style folder without needing to reboot. it's pretty inconvenient since i wanted to use that number as a functional contact number. ive tried the shizuku + pixel smth smth combo to force volte activation and changing sim details like APN in the settings but none have worked :((
Having two control options is fun!
please recommend

Okay I'm going to shoot my shot here with this question. I have a ALT Mive Style Folder 2 from Korea
It has these bands: 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 on 4G LTE. But I still can't make or receive calls with the phone. Anything else works perfectly. I am based in the Netherlands and I can check these three main providers bands. I currently have a German bought Aldi Talk Prepaid sim in it and that works like a charm!
I am so confused why it would not work then .. is it because one is missing?! I currently am using Odido as my main provider. I have tried Lyca (uses KPN network) but it doesn't work either. I have not tried Vodafone yet, I will switch to them in July. The Galaxy Folder 2 also support the same bands as the Style Folder 2 but I can use the Galaxy Folder 2 to make and receive calls </3 (Qin F22 PRO and DOOV R77 are also working fine)
so my first post got some really helpful comments kaya i just want to know san ba ako makakabili na budget meal lang na flip phone i dont really need the box, charger, and all the bells and whistles ang important lang sakin ay performance and functionality
mive style phones are good pero sa price dapat nalang bumili ako nang reg na smartphone ang gusto ko lang naman is a phone with basic functions like internet, camera, and apps alam kong medyo unrealistic ang expectations ko sa price pero kasi mga 2k-3k lang ang kaya rn eh
I’ve tried a plethora of different phones, none of which carry all that I need on a daily basis.
I am a mother, therefore I need the kindergarten’s app to log her presence, pay monthly payments,
Maps app, since I recently took my drivers license and am not very familiar with my surrounding areas besides my way to work and again kindergarten, the banking apps, social security and healthcare app important emails etc.
I communicate a lot with my family abroad (dad and sister) with WhatsApp and usually SMS people around me. I have no social media other than Reddit and YouTube (I’m not sure if YouTube even counts).
My daily routine is work, daycare and home. Some times I go out obvs.
I currently dug out my IPhone 12 mini, it’s pocket sized, good for small hands, and it does what it is supposed to do, a cell phone with some capabilities at least I view it as that.
No distractions, no scrolling, just a smarter way to live for me.
In summation, I am content with my arrangement and if you’re feeling a similar way, do reconsider your choices and perspective of what a dumbphone is.
Have an amazing day/night! ❤️
so i wanna buy a flip phone just for aesthetic and practical uses like music, videos, messaging and pictures so i don't really care abt banking apps and games.
i found this product on laz and i wanna know if buying this would be ok?
the reviews are convincing but i just dont trust em
I've been trying to look for a somewhat modern flip phone for a while now. My problem is that It's hard to find one that works in the US. I live in the Northeast, and there isn't much that works up here. Ive been looking into the Samsung Folder 2, but I hear that its very slow since it's old. I also have been looking into the Alt Mive Style Folder 1 and 2, but from what I can tell, it doesn't work in the US. I dont use social media, so connecting to social media isn't a problem for me. I just want to be able to have calls, messages, and listen to music or podcasts. I use YouTube Music, so it would be nice to be able to use that. Ive also been looking into Keitai phones, but the connectivity for the ones I've seen sucks. I want one that looks at least a little cute. If anyone has any recommendations then please tell. Thanks!
I was looking to try out a flip phone for the summer and see if I want to switch but all the modern ones are so ugly and weirdly big. I've always liked the look of the older ones, but obviously those arent supported anymore. Any recommendations?
