[Handset suggestion] Basic CDMA handset (unlocked/locked to RCDMA)

Recommended Posts

Requirements



- no frills - will be used only for calls and SMS and occasional camera


- good signal/voice clarity


- good battery important


- sturdy as will be subject to rough use


- preferably micro USB charger


- single SIM RCDMA will do, (dual SIM either with GSM/CDMA will be a bonus)


- everything else is optional


- as cheap as possible


- need within 1-2 days* so available on Flipkart is preferred (as I have Flipkart First free shipping with 1 day delivery)


- reputed brand (Samsung etc) preferred over Micromax/Haier/ZTE as it will be a gift



*existing Blackberry giving app 523 error



**I would have extended budget and bought a Moto E if it was available for CDMA, but then again it is a touchscreen and not as sturdy as a BB/normal phones



***I had looked at the ZTE D286 on Flipkart but seller rating is poor

Any reputed brand available at around 5k? Dual sim with gsm+cdma is fine. Touchscreen or smartphones not ok. The Samsung primos duo seemed good but discontinued?

Intex GC 5050 is a good phone, but as I use it, I can say it can be your worst nightmare as the contacts you save are not actually saved, the name remains but the no. does not. Sometimes the no is changed with another blank contact name. :(

Otherwise performance is good. You can't dial *225# from it.

Hi,

Can someone please share feedback on:

1. Panasonic GD25C

2. Alcatel One Touch Alcatel J636D+

Both are CDMA handsets. My main concern is?:

(a) Voice clarity

(B) handset ear-piece volume quality

© battery back-up

Please share your reviews.

Note: if someone has used Swipe Sonic or ZTE N799D, please do share experience.
