This model has all what you need as a smartphone

Battery problem and key pad

Nokia, a brand you can (still) trust.

Good

Only works on Telstra HSPA+ or 3G, not 4G. Telstra turns this service off in 2024. This is the major mobile carrier in Australia.

Good phone for avoiding the big screen of todays touch screen phones. Beyond the voice and texting, the difficulty of using the other apps and features reduce the desire to get addicted to browsing the internet. Overall, it'll save you time. And yet, if it's so important that you need youtube, mapping, web surfing, and a QR reader (for menu's and other things) this phone can do it. It also makes for a good phone for middle-schoolers. One odd thing is that snakie didn't work. The other odd thing is that the battery charge % doesn't display by default in the upper corner. Need to go through the menu to find out.

I like this phone! It works perfectly with Red Pocket Mobile. My "acceptable" condition phone arrived with no cracks or scratches anywhere. Like most feature or "dumb" phones, the Nokia 6300 4G is affordable, better suited for young children due to the lack of available social media apps, also good for those who want to detox from smartphone use due to the lack of financial, social media and Android or iOS only apps. From it's KaiOS Store app, you can also download and use the 'KaiMFA' app, a perfectly functional and secure Authenticator app on the Nokia 6300 4G with your 2nd factor authentication secrets and/or authenticator QR codes for free. The Nokia 6300 4G has good email capability, easiest with Gmail accounts because Gmail accounts do not need a 3rd party app secure key like Outlook, Yahoo, ATT.net or currently.com emails accounts do for this phone. To setup email access for Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, Att.net or Currently.com accounts on it, you need to choose the "Advanced Setup" option for "IMAP" to be used instead of the default "POP" for full email access capabilities along with an app specific password active on your email account. The only cons are that the Nokia 6300 4G should have been also WPA3 Wi-Fi capable being made after the certified Wi-Fi device requirements for those made after 2020; Nokia should have added voice to text for help with texting and typing for all their feature phones including this one; has several mobile game apps which are bloatware that cannot be uninstalled.
