What is an unlocked phone?An unlocked phone is a device that is not bound to any carrier or plan. It allows you to choose your phone first and your carrier second. Upon selecting a plan, simply insert the carrier's SIM card into the phone and you're ready to go. If you decide you want to change carriers down the road or want to take an international trip, it's as simple as replacing your existing SIM card with a new SIM and activating your new plan. |
What are the benefits of an unlocked phone?Freedom: Choose the carrier with the best service or price. If you find a better deal later, you have the ability to change to a different carrier. Travel: Take your phone internationally and use the carrier of your choice. It's as easy as inserting an active SIM card. Selection: Choose the phone with the features you want, whether or not your carrier sells it, and get more service options without a contract. |
How do I set up my unlocked phone?The first thing you’ll need is a SIM card for your desired carrier. When activated, the SIM card will let your phone connect to your carrier’s network. If you decide to upgrade to a newer unlocked phone in the future, you can easily remove the SIM card from your old phone and put it in your new phone—just make sure you get the right size of SIM card (nano, micro, or standard) for your phone. If you want to use your phone while traveling internationally, you can easily buy a SIM card for a carrier that operates where you’re traveling. As long as it’s activated, you can just swap SIM cards when you arrive at your destination. |

Built-in Antenna for FM Radio. You can listen to the radio without headphones.
Dual Sim
Great for International use. Great phone if you are going to a country that still uses 2G, like Africa.
Cons:
2G only. It will not work on most cell phone carriers in the USA since they have been phasing out 2G.
This phone does not have KaiOS like the Zoey Smart (3G). This will allow you to use apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Google Assistant, Google Maps, and more.
My phone is dated Nov 2020 on the sticker. I was looking for this phone since the original Tank 2 T193 from 2014 is still working 6 years later. The Tank 2 model has outlasted the Tank Mega, Torch 2.4, 2.4 Xtreme, Tank 3, and Tank 1.
Changes:
Micro SD is now up to 32 GB instead of 8GB
2,200mAh Battery instead of 1,900mAh Battery
Camera placement has changed.
T194 Battery Model: C784467220L
