I am sorry to say this, but non camera smartphones are a completely neglected platform here in the US. Globally isn't much better. I think you may be looking for a product that quite frankly doesn't exist anymore.

Notified this week we need a compatible no camera device by the 28th of Sept. I am now considering the INO 6 and dupad story. The INO 6 I'm concerned is not 4GLTE compatible, and the dupad story I like and is more affordable, but a large portion if the reviews say the battery craps out after a year

The Ino 6 has band 2 but not band 5. Can't guarantee that you will have LTE service on Straight Talk in your area.

That's what I thought, I was looking at the band chart last night but not my strong suit at understanding it. Guess dupad story it is. Hopefully with minimal use and powering off at the end of every day will keep it alive for awhile. Thank you again for all your help
How hard/expensive is it to change out the dupad story battery? I’ve done my iPhone and it was pretty easy. Doing it yourself on the dupad may be worth it in the long run.
OP
OP
It's an internal battery, cant change it as far as I know. Also all the reviews regarding the battery mention finding replacements is near impossible
hopefully like you said your usage extends the battery to 1.5+ years and it’s cheap enough you can just buy a new one then?

Dupad Story Falcon doesn't have either Straight Talk LTE band. Straight Talk uses bans 2 and 5. The dupad story falcon has bands 1, 3, 7, and 20. I don't know if that connects to ANY American carrier

Crap. Its listed on eBay, says 4GLTE but doesnt say what for. I looked at your BlackBerry post again since I was okay with going for that price but it appears to have a camera on the back

Download Signal Spy on your phone and find out what band you connect to at work

Maybe you will get lucky and it is band 2 (850mHz)
EDIT - sorry band 2 is 1900 not 850

Sh** you got an actual straight talk phone not a "bring your own phone" thing. Contact straight talk and verify what bands you can use

Seeing this thread prompted me to pull these dinosaurs out of a box (I have no idea why I saved them). The Nokia was the shit back in the day.
I have both of those in my discards box, plus an older Nokia and an original Razor.

She said my location at work is Verizon band 4 or 2, but she said my sim card won't work in a phone that's not a straight talk phone

It won't, but a " bring your own phone" sim card will work in them both. Now that you have confirmed band 2 for your work the Ino 6 should work just fine there

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Straight...SIM-Pack-Universal-Tri-punch-Bundle/613082578 get this and use the Verizon sim card in it. You can transfer your existing service to it and use that Verizon card in both phones
OP
OP
Oh she told me that wouldn't work either. I will consider the Ino 6 again and look into more, I can always purchase a second phone plan just dont want to. I may scrap the idea completely and just get a notebook or something similar that does internet and emails. I can still talk to Ben through PCF or email, as well as any immediate family
OP
OP
Oh so I can possibly transfer my service to a different sim? The girl on the phone told me no lol

The sim you have will not work in a "bring your own phone" phone, but that sim card from the Walmart link I sent you should work in ANYTHING!

Okay, I will look into trying that. You have been very helpful, cannot thank you enough!
