Sonim XP8 • Unlocked

The Sonim XP8 is a durable phone with a loud speaker and a bright screen. A definite plus... it has an excellent range. My only problem is that I bought it as a dual SIM phone, but the company says that the second slot was experimental and never activated. So I will need to search for a different phone. If you need a durable and water resistant phone at a great price- I highly recommend it. But please do not buy thinking that you can get the second chip working- I wasted too much time.

This phone is perfectly suited for me. I have a tendency of destroying my phones. I believe this phone might survive getting run over which is a good possibility with me. Lol.

Everything is good

Advertised as an unlocked phone but when we got it and tried to activate it our carrier informed us that it had to run off of a T-Mobile tower. We don't have any in our area so the phone will not work. Very disappointed. Had to send it back.

Like many others have said, these are NOT unlocked. I didn’t think it mattered, since I was not planning to use a cell plan, but locked to AT&T means it is not possible to download operating system updates, which was required for compatibility with many apps.

I was supposed to get an unlocked phone that was compatible with AT&T. The phone brand and model were correct however, when I bought it to the AT&T corporate store to have it set up and the sim card activated the two company reps could not get the phone to connect. They confirmed that it was unlocked but after 2.5 hours of trying they suggested I return it to Back Market. Thus far, I'm awaiting a response from Back Market as to what I should do next. The phone I ordered appears to be excellent condition and exactly what I need so I just have to be patient t his point.

exactly what they describe
