can this phone access the internet
do olitech make a longer lasting batery for easyflip phonr
can you put any apps onto this mobile etc wa safe / woolworths
This is a very basic phone and you cannot download any apps. This is a big problem if you need to download a QR code for Covid19.
My neighbor has an Olitech easy flip and it is frozen just showing Olitech Easyflip on the screen. When you try to turn it off it just keeps restarting, with the name on the screen and you cant do anything with the phone.
Hi Marie, what I would try first is a Factory Reset although if you can't get past the Olitech screen that may not be possible. (Settings>System>Factory reset) so try removing the battery, leave it fo...
Read morer a few seconds then replace it and see if that resolves it. If that doesn't work then a call to Olitech support may be needed.Like Peter S suggested I would try removing the battery,waiting a few seconds and then reinserting it. If no joy then it is probably a hardware fault and you could try contacting Olitech. This phone h...
Read moreas a 12 month warranty and my wife's phone failed in a similar manner after only 11 months and had to be replaced. Choice magazine had a good article on "phones for seniors" in their April 2021 edition. They suggested an alternative option for those less tech savvy was to obtain an older android smart phone and go into settings then choose "easy mode " or "simple mode" depending on brand. There are also several free apps from the Google play store that can add a simple interface to the phone making it much more senior friendly. Naturally for the initial phone set up they would need the help of a tech savvy friend. The big plus for using a smartphone is that they can read QR codes so essential in our Covid19 times. The Olitech phone CANNOT read QR codes so is only suitable someone who is in a nursing home or housebound.
Hi does this phone have predictive text option and does the font size can be changed to larger
Yes, it has predictive text and the font can be changed. Great simple solid phone for the elderly technology-averse people. I wouldn't use it to send long texts but simple messages can be set up. Dial...
Read moreling is good through the Photo Dial function and has good emergency contact function. Overall I like it, no touch screen, no browser, very simple phone
Sending an SMS on this phone is a total pain as it uses the old multi tap system and certainly not something an older person could manage. I haven't tried altering the text size but remember that the ...
Read morescreen is very small so a larger text would limit the amount of information available at any one time. Don't bother trying to sent or receive photos as the camera is pretty awful and so far I haven't been able to receive any incoming photos.( My wife did receive "half" a photo at one point so I told the sender to resend to my smart phone which was naturally OK) .This is a very basic Flip phone similar to 1999 models and so is best limited to receiving and making phone calls providing a tech savvy friend can set up the contact list and speed dialling.
Serious about purchase of Easy Flip 4G,but as I have a Standard SIM CARD (25x15)(in my now defunct old phone )
HOW do I change over for Olitech as appears necessary??
Thanking you in anticipation your reply please.

Go to your mobile provider and buy a new sim Make sure you get them to transfer your mobile number to new sim
I have just been looking t the reviews for the Olitech Easyflip phone, and there were a number who said that the battery life of this phone is very very bad.. can you enlighten me please???
It is a lot better than many of its competitors. Only when we cease to depend on Chinese manufactured batteries will we really start to see phones with reasonable battery lives.
Does this phone have a hotspot capability (to use with my iPad)?
Will this phone handle WhatsApp please?
What if the sim is not a nano sim? Not sure what the sim is in my friend's current phone.
I am wanting to buy this phone for a shakey friend. It ticks all the boxes. One question, can you see who is calling without opening the phone? ie does the number/name appear on the closed screen?
Am I able to transfer photos stored on my Olitech EasyFlip phone (model number OLT 2908) to my computer?
Can I use my Olitech phone with a QR?
Not likely: not an actual smartphone with "APPS" using Android QR (internet linked) codes.
WHEN SMS message come threw on mobile phone give one beep or several beep IS EASY TO SEND SMS MESSAGE as not very technical person . When sms message come threw time and date clearly. Does have loud sound when call coming threw? REgarding sims does come with phone warranty on phone IS 4 G
Can the Olitech owner be tracked by another mobile smart phone in the event of them becoming lost?
How can I see photos sent to me in a text message? When I highlight the message, photos have an arrow on them but I cannot get them to open.
Is the hotspot easy to use ? My dad has a tablet which he can use for the internet if we can link it up.
HI, looking at purchasing this phone for my 82 yr old mum and just wondering how the hotspot works please. She uses hot spot sparingly but it needs to be simple to access. Is it possible to perhaps advise the steps taken so I can see if this is easy for her?
She only uses the phone for phone calls and hotspot.
Hi
I didn’t see much value in the wifi connection, my mum only uses it for calls which is perfect. There is no internet browser. I hope this helps
