IMO DASH 4G UK BIG BUTTON SIM FREE MOBILE PHONE

Absolute rubbish. Phone arrived in a box which had been damaged and the phone has no battery. Complete joke.

Buttons difficult to get any response . Dont know if it was faulty but seller was brilliant no quible return

Good day, well it's review phone not turning on, when plugged in light up but doesn't boost it's used phone packing was taken of the wrapping.Look if made mistake and bought grade B please let know. But as far it's stated new would like to know reason why end up with this white brick?

A complete waste of time, money, silicon and copper. Can't even send texts without mega hassle, eg. it keeps defaulting to numbers after I'd selected letters.Bought it with Tesco SIM as a package. Yes, it has a camera, but it's appalling - VGA at best and only 256 colour. Auto-update clock can't cope with summer time (defaulting to Praia time zone - London not selectable so always an hour out) so kept it on manual setting. Put up with it as a backup for a year, then the battery bulged out and forced the back off. Fortunately it didn't explode - and this was while it was just sitting in a drawer. Found Tesco SIM will still work in my ancient Nokia 3330 (Virgin's stopped when they ditched 2G), so transferred SIM and physically destroyed this pile of junk incase anyone tried to extract my personal information after I'd dumped it. So I now have a spare power supply and micro USB cable - the only bits of it worth having.BTW: It's NOT smart, though I didn't expect that for the money. It can access the Internet (through 4G only - no WiFi), but no websites render properly, and most won't render at all. Even the '90s Netscape Navigator was better!

Bought recently from Tesco and I haven't tested the entirety of the phone and this might not all be accurate but here are all of my postives and negativesPositives:MP3 player/RadioBluetoothMenu shortcutsNano SIM supportVOLTE/MMS (image sending)Predictive textEasy to switch between 2g/3g/4g to save batteryEnglish, French, Spanish, Italian language supportNovel features: record radio segments, dial tone, bluetooth file transfer, always record phone calls, pin lock for individual apps, calendar notifications.Most of the phone can use a memory card for storage.Negatives:1. You can the emergency services whilst the phone is unlocked through by manually pressing 1, 9, 0 through the numpad. Thankfully for this situation, the emergency services is not on speedial, there is no way to turn off this feature or lock the numpad. I have not accidentally called the emergency yet like a lot of reviewers have but I also think this can be prevented by wrapping a piece of fabric around the phone.2. The manual that comes with the box is not complete and the full manual from the Imo Dash website, imomobile.co.uk , only seems to tell you how to press buttons to open apps. Things like the flight mode, Wi-FI, predictive text are absolutely not mentioned in there. You have to figure out a lot of things yourself through curiosity and trial and error. For example, neither the manual or the phone tells you which e-book file formats it supports, you have to upload files yourself and figure out which the phone will recognise. Same thing with how much small the file size of your photos have to be before the phone can recognise it.3. Maybe I couldn't find the settings for this, but you cannot save text messages on your memory card. You can save MMS messages on your memory card. The phone only has 36.5MB of memory according the "phone memory capacity" setting, this means that the phone can only support 200 messages before you have to delete them. You can save 1000 contacts however.4. Again, maybe I could not figure this out, but the phone cannot connect to Wi-Fi or cannot scan for Wi-FI connections automatically.5. You cannot adjust the vibration intensity despite being able to adjust the volume settings. It vibrates loudly. How you adjust the volume settings is also absent from the manual and hidden away in profiles> options> settings > adjust volume. You can also turn off vibrate here.5. Non-Latin alphabet characters come up as "▯▯▯▯▯", this is what came up when someone texted me in Chinese. I have not tested for Latin alphabet languages outside of the languages already supported.6. Radio channels can on be searched for automatically or manually typing in the precise radio frequency you want one at a time, you cannot cycle left and right through the frequencies, like I have before on a Sansa MP3 player You also cannot seek to any parts of a song on the MP3 player.7. No tethering8. No note app, despite featuring a notepad icon for one of it's apps in the menu screen.9. Facebook and internet barely works and suffers from memory issues when it does work. No suprise however.10. Nit-picking, but it's painfully obviously it's a on a altered Chinese OS as the Facebook app uses a Weibo icon on the menu screen.To me it gives me everything it wants and is a complete bargin, but there are plenty of annoyances and infuriating elements.

Avoid like the plague! After the SIM card on my previous PAYG was deactivated due to not being topped up regularly I needed a cheap phone to receive text messages. On opening up the IMO phone the connections for the SIM card and SD card seemed to be very flimsy and delicate. The phone would not recognise the SIM and eventually the metal plate came away. On returning the phone to Tesco I was refused an exchange on the grounds that I was returning damaged goods. The problem may have lain in it being a faulty SIM card as my old phone won't recognise it either. However I consider the phone to be substandard as I did not use excessive force trying to install the SIM card.

A less intuitive device I cannot imagine. If no action is taken, the phone locks automatically and while it is no big deal to unlock it, it would be nice to have a choice on this aspect. Texting is not as simple as it should be and sending text seems to take ages. Whoever designed this pile of junk needs to look for another job.Still, the phone is very robust although this may not be a good thing if you are inclined to hurl it at a wall. Now, where did I put that sledgehammer?

You get what you pay for, but with this rubbish you don't even get that. It has a supposedly 2MP camera that takes unusable ultra-lo-res images like this one. It can connect to the internet but - get this - the phone doesn't have enough memory to load even just one webpage! Oh, here's a fun one - it can send, receive and forward text messages but cannot reply to them! A colossal waste of money. An utter rip-off. Buy a basic dumbphone because the features on this 'feature phone' don't actually work so you're getting a dumbphone anyway.
