Very good basic cell phone. Took min...e to AT&T and they installed SIM card .... working good. Looks retro because of the monochrome display which what I like .Unlike the most current cell phones today that have tiny button, the Nokia 6310i has good size buttons. This is probably the last of the old school type of cell phones that Nokia made that are still available.
This is a telephone, beloved of reps (...and my wife) when it first came out, yonks ago. After a little while, Nokia (stupidly, I felt) discontinued it and replaced it with others, fine for little girlie-fingers, but not so good for builders' suppliers or burly businessmen. The thing eventually wore out, and having several times accepted new phones from Orange Contract, I tried one of these. It didn't go well; - I didn't want a 2 megapixel phone-camera with no optical Zoom, when I had a 14mp 5x optical Kodak - well - several, and my wife could never get he hang of even the phone when she borrowed it. Fortunately, Hong-Kong to the rescue. By pulling old ones apart, and replacing many of the components with new, they have rebuilds of my old Nokia, pretty inexpensive and often coming with a new charger and a couple of batteries. Even with my abrasive handling, the life of the rebuild is reasonable - several years. I'm happy, I don't like a sat-nav, I don't often email pictures, all I really want to do is to use the phone as a phone and to send the occasional text to my step-daughter. For this, it cuts the mustard. If you have a favourite bit of obsolete technology which is dying, can I recommend a Hong-Kong rebuild - it's been the ideal solution for me.
I already own 3 Nokia 6310i phones, and have had 5 in total. It ...is without doubt the best and most reliable mobile phone ever made. I'm talking about just a mobile phone, and not a 'smart phone.' No, it does'nt have a camera, it was produced before any mobile phone had one. It does'nt have all the gimmicks of a modern phone, but it does have the best receiver/transmitter of any phone. It never drops a signal, and the battery is good. I have even dropped one in a puddle by accident, and after removing the battery, and drying it off, it worked perfectly, and still does. I only bought this most recent one, for spares. It's a pity that Nokia did not relaunch the model with a colour screen.
I bought this for my husband as he will not use an...y other type of mobile phone. He has a few of this model but they are fading so decided he could with a reliable one. He likes the simplicity, ease of use no music no camera no complications, and this one has a good battery.It also helps that we have a built in cradle in the car which only takes this model. Ten out of ten.
Great business phone for everyday u...se, has it's own value and never stops working at extreme conditions. Easy to navigate, and a display never irritates. Has a voice recorder which allows to record the phone calls. With simplicity elegance a durability it's a great phone for a small or medium business person
