Beautiful phone, basic, works with Tello (read review)
There is something wonderfully nostalgic, simple, and grounding about a very basic, 2g phone.(Edit : Tello works! Tello works! Theyâre an mvno, and so far, Iâve been able to make and receive calls on Tello! Thank God! It might sound silly to be grateful for something like this, but getting this phone to work has been a journey!I had to stick the SIM in a 4g LTE phone first, let is sit there and use it in the 4g phone for a week, then migrated it to the Blu Jenny. So far, so good! Hopefully it stays active and doesnât blip out on me, but so far, Telloâs working! They have very affordable, customizable plans, too.)The phone itself is cute, and very functional. It’s fun to push the buttons, and I realized I missed t9 texting. It has this cool, telescoping antenna, a built-in FM radio that works even if you have no signal or data, and international analog TV built-in. Phones should all be like this. The camera is very, very grainy, but that’s ok. It’s meant to be a phone first, and it’s not meant to be a social media powerhouse.As big tech, big data, big government, and social media increasingly merge, it might not be a terrible idea to switch to something simpler. You can “triangulate” a person’s location based on these things, but I don’t think you can be directly tracked with pin-point accuracy; no gps. I don’t need or want social media on my phone. Plus, it’ll be easy to use this thing abroad, as many countries in Africa, Asia, and the Americas still have 2g.I’m thrilled with this weird, clunky little phone. I hope that I can get it up and running with a SIM. I’ll let you guys know if I can. If all else fails, I have a nice, $25 radio that can be used as a telephone over seas.

Staright Talk doesn’t work with this phone!
Spent 30 minutes on the phone with Straight Talk customer service to find out the Jenny Blu isn’t compatible with Straight Talk services. Apparently it has to be a 4 or 5 g service to be compatible per customer service so now I’m out the $35 straight talk minutes and the $26 dollars for the phone.

Great so far!
OK so this phone is great so far. My only gripe with this phone is that the notification tone is low and on top of that you can only choose from 3 sounds.I like the big screen even the fonts are bigger great! I like that this is a simple phone not a smartphone. If i want to hear music I can open the music player or I can listen to the radio.Overall, this is a very good phone for me. It sits my needs greatly.

Good, cheap phone for international calls
This is a cheap backup phone. It doesn’t do much well except make calls. It’s unlocked and GSM. You can pop a SIM card in it and make calls just about anywhere in the world.Pros- inexpensive- works well as an international phone- good 800 support- charge lasts a long time- powers up and down quicklyCons- worst instructions I have ever seen- cheap construction – if you drop it it will probably breakMy storyI had seen these BLU phones on Amazon for a while. I’ve got a locked Verizon phone and I wanted to have a cheap backup when I travel internationally. I got this phone and SIM card for about $35 and I’m in business. Tested it while we were in the Caribbean and it made clear calls.It’s so cheap I don’t care if I loose it.It took me a while to learn how to use it. To insert the battery and SIM card, you snap off the entire back cover, like snapping apart a cheap toy. You’ll see two SIM card slots and a slot for a microSD card.SIM cards come in different sizes (who knew?). I bought one from sim4globe.com. It came as a pull off on a credit card sized plastic card. The SIM has two plastic wrappers for different sizes. The BLU takes the largest one. So, you have to keep the SIM and the two wrappers together and carefully insert into the SIM slot. It’s tabbed for alignment. The microSD card slot has a metal flap and tab for alignment – again, difficult to insert. But, once you have both, you put the battery on top of the slots and it holds everything together (amazing).sim4globe.com SIM came with a good instruction manual. It was easy to go online, create an account, and add $$/minutes using my PayPal account.There are two SIM slots but I only used one.When you power it up, it will search and locate an available carrier.When you make a call, it calls the party, then your phone rings. You hit the answer button and it will complete the connection. Weird, but it works.

Its an excellent inexpensive phone with 2 sim-slots to use with 2 …
Its an excellent inexpensive phone with 2 sim-slots to use with 2 phone-lines. A few years ago I bought one of these, when I lost it in a crowd after a few years’ heavy use, I went ahead and ordered another one of these. It complements a Huawei Mate 2 smartphone I purchased a year ago. Of course being an inexpensive phone, the camera is a meager 1.3 megapixel camera but the $350 Mate2 I also carry has a 13 MP camera. The screen is an ample 2.8 inch one, unusually big in a non-smart 20 dollar phone. Just as the previous one I lost in a crowd after a couple of years’ heavy use, I expect this one to last me for the foreseeable future. The good thing about the dual sims in this phone is that both lines are simultaneously available and can receive calls at the same time. In short you can’t go wrong with this one. I hope they never discontinue this model. It’s that good. Really…..!!!!
