DavidE - 5-3-2014 at 03:07 PM

Having not dood this before...

It's supposedly unlocked. New AT&T. About one-fifth the price of a local cellular with a brand name something like "Harmonious Butterfly". Has a jack for headphones for old sordo me.

Is there an online FAQ page describing where I need to go down here to get the SIM chip programmed for use with Slime's System?

Model number of most honorable new phone

ZTE Z431

Hopefully you got one that takes a SIM card, they don't all use SIMs.

The Mexican phone I now have is also a ZTE.
I'd be interested in the model number.
Last week when I went to a local Telcel store, they "told" me that my sim card will fit the majority of brand name phones.

Your sim card will fit ALL sim card style phones. However, not all phones are sim card style.

ZTE z431 aka ZTE Altair does use a sim card. No, I don't know where to get it. When you put it in, it slides in so deep that you can't take it out though :)...

"Duel" sim card unlocked LG brand cellphones are available from Amazon for about 20 bucks. You can put a Mexican sim card and a US sim card in the same phone and have it both ways. I know cuz we have one with a AT&T sim and a Telcel sim. Sweet!

DuAl, yes. There quite are few on Amazon under $25.

The are phones that use a micro SIM card. I.e. Samsung Notes.

The JACK for earphones is what brought me to this phone, that and not having to stab the keys 400 times to write a 15 word message.

I guess I need to go to a "Atencion de Clientes" TelCel store to get it working. Actually I was more interested in getting info how to make it work rather that read about all the other phones I didn't buy.

Ah, you know this forum.... People are bored so they talk....
I understand the part of not flipping the keys, but I can't recall any of my phones in the last 6 or 7 years that did NOT have earphone jack. Though some have a mini-earphone jack, not a standard 3.5mm audio jack.
