Many apps locked to AT&T, despite being unlocked to use with other carriers
We have Consumer Cellular which uses the AT&T network, so I thought this unlocked phone would work great for me, as I dislike smart phones and want something simple.
It was easy enough to insert my Consumer Cellular SIM and a microSD card to load up my MP3 files, and it works well for calls, text messages and playing MP3's. But! About 8 of the onscreen menu items are hard coded into the device and require a genuine AT&T pay as you go / no contract account to work. I don't have that with Consumer Cellular, so those menu items do not work. And no amount of fiddling with the limited number of server/proxy/port settings will get them to work.
So I use it for what works, calls, texts and playing Mp3s. But it's disappointing that the games, web access, et al, either fail to connect or have notices of extra cost for using excessive bandwidth to run the apps.
In the end, I would up buying a practically new Nokia E71 phone, which runs Symbian and does everything I want in a feature phone. If the Pantech Link P7040 had done email and web via wi-fi, I'd have stuck with it. But those aps are locked to AT&T.
Note that it proved very difficult to find a FACTORY unlocked feature/candy-bar phone with QWERTY keyboard that wasn't all kludged up with carrier-specific apps. The Link could have been a great phone for an old curmudgeon like me IF only it had more generic (non AT&T specific) apps.
