S22 Smart Flip Phone (16GB) 2.8" Touchscreen Rugged Cell Phone Android 11, IP68 Water Resistant, 4G LTE GSM Single Nano Slot, Compatible with T-Mobile, AT&T (Black)

If you have a habit of leaving your phone in the goat house, wish to charm the older folk, or want another device to play your favorite 2006 gba game Mother 3 this gorgeous brick is for you. Yes, this cockin' peice of equipment truly has it all. I lost my last phone in the chaos of treating my dear nubian goat 'Sweetie' for scours, not sure wether i left it outside or it fell into a pile of the liquds that were pouring from her rear. But either way it was gone, and honestly wouldn't have lasted much longer either way, ive never had my phones stay alive on me more than a year. But this gorgeous thing is so rugged and heavy that it makes my hardened toll hands look petite. I could use the screen to stir the milk into my piping hot cup of Yorkshire tea, while video calling my good buddy many miles away in England, and the thing would find it enriching. Every old person thats seen it so far has fallen in love and wished it to be their own. and whipping it out in a crowd of pretentious people who brag about their new apple ipod225egad+ is truly satisfying. They can laugh at it if they wish, but they will never know the joy of simple joy of sitting outside in the grass for hours and thinking of things that make you happy. All they know is scrolling that certain horrid app at the tiniest trickle of boredom and using ai to write their essays, further destroying their ability to think and use their brains. I was a bit worried about the complications of getting service to it and wether it was truly unlocked because it seemed some people had troubles with it, but I was able to do it easily without hassle. The programmable button on the side is immensely handy, i set it to turn on my flashlight which speaking of is very bright. The camera and microphone quality really isn't half bad, actually better than my previous phone, ill attach a few photos taken with it. You cant do professional photography with it but it does its job. I did see a few complaning about short battery life but I haven't been bothered by that at all yet. It might drain quickly if your spending hours on it scrolling, but if thats what your doing with it, its not really the phone for you, It lasts me multiple days with light use. And it can emulate Mother 3!!! And you can use the physical buttons as the controller instead of having crap ones on the screen!?! This phone is truly a work of art. it might not be for everyone but it was exactly what I needed in a phone, I highly recommend it. Edit: after a good run of 4 months I have already very tragically lost my gorgeous beloved phone, it did not break, and I guarantee it is still functioning wherever it is. I simply accidentally dropped it in the woods somewhere while taking my previously mentioned Sweetie for a walk, but It served me incredibly well in that time, when I someday get another phone, it will be for sure one of these. After my time with it I could never use another. It was nice having people have the ability to call me but for now it might be best to go back to my phoneless ways, until we meet again cat s22 my love.

I bought this phone in April of 2026 because it is advertised as a rugged and pretty basic phone. I was extremely happy with the phone in the beginning, however on, Sept 14, five months after it was purchased, I dropped the phone on the floor and the entire phone cracked in half with the top half completely separating from the bottom half. All my information is now lost, and of course i need a new phone. I am a mom, and dropping my phone is pretty much par for the course. I would think a phone advertised as rugged would be able to handle a 3 foot drop. So. Overall, this phone is great.... if you are ok buying a new phone every 6 months...I for one, am not.

Bought this in the hopes of converting to a dumb phone that could still use Spotify, Libby, and navigating apps. To clear up why this phone is labelled CAT but sold as a Unifone, from what I understand, the phone was originally manufactured by CAT (yes, the construction equipment manufacturers), but then rights were sold to another company. This product is legitimate, despite appearing off brand at first glance. Pros: - Very sturdy. Possibly indestructible. Advertised as waterproof but I didn't get the chance or the accident to test this. - Uses Android system, meaning you can theoretically download most apps through Google Play. (I say theoretically for a reason.) - Screen is so small you will be highly discouraged from using social media apps; in fact I think most would be unusable on this phone, which was one of my goals. - Has bluetooth connectivity, meaning you can connect your headphones and listen to Spotify or an audiobook. Cons: - Because this phone utilizes an older version of Android OS, there are some minor security concerns. This won't be an issue for most people, but I wouldn't use this phone if your job or private life involves any confidential information, i.e. patient information, cybersecurity, etc. - Also because of the old OS, many apps that might have worked with this phone on release are no longer compatible, because the OS is no longer supported. I was able to use Spotify and Libby, but you will not be able to download Uber, for exmaple. - Probably the biggest con for me was that this phone pretends to be a flip phone. The reality is that it's a tiny touch screen phone. The D pad and T9 typing are not functional. You will have to download an app to use these basic features, and from what I could find, these apps are passion projects with no promise of continuing to remain functional in the future (as an example, the app I found reccomended most often online is already non functional, and I had to find an app created more recently.) Even then, the app will not be cross compatible with all other apps, i.e. Libby. I spent so much time squinting and trying to touch a tiny touch screen keyboard, that eventually I rage quit and decided to send the whole phone back. - Messaging is a hybrid that just doesn't work how you might hope. Because this phone is undecided if it's a smart phone or a dumb phone, messages will be recieved in a smart phone format, however, again, unless you have a special app, replying will be a pain in the ass because you'll have to use a tiny touchscreen keyboard. Never figured out if emojis were possible. Who would I reccomend this phone for? Probably someone with a physical job, i.e. construction, who only wants a flip phone for the phone calls and maybe Spotify, and nothing else, not even texting, for whom the sturdiness of the phone is important. Even then, I think there are other dumb phones on the market that will give you better functionality at a better price point.

If you already have T-Mobile or a SIM card with AT&T you will have no issue using this phone with either service. If you are switching your line from Verizon, you may have some issues, as this phone will only be able to be switched to AT&T using the IMEI workaround method. The IMEIs for the Cat s22 will show up as not compatible with AT&T, you can check this using "check IMEI" on their website. You will need to find an old or broken phone that you don't plan on using anymore, and take that phone with you to the AT&T store and have them link a SIM card to that old phone's IMEI, and put that SIM card in the new cat s22. Once the SIM card is in, the service works perfectly fine with the phone. The phone is extremely durable and easy to use, and it has been amazing to have much less distraction in my life. I love it!

Great phone for wanting to make your life more simple! I did get an unlocked one. Of course it is a flip phone so slower than a regular phone. Small apps you can download but bigger apps may have trouble or won’t work. If you do take back roads or major city driving. Be cautious!!! I do both and unfortunately my GPS was not reliable! It would say the left when the gps showed right. Maybe 40% of the time. Maybe it’s just my phone but I could not be looking at a tiny screen to see which way I should really turn in a city or on back back roads

This review is from someone who is a tech savvy person. I've used pretty much any consumer electronic under the sun and can build a computer with my eyes closed, so take this with however much or little salt as you want. I consider myself a tech enthusiast, but have a love/hate relationship with it. Specifically with smartphones because they have become a plague on society, turning peoples' brains and attention spans into mush - designed to draw you in and steal your time from living outside of your dang screen. I was born in 93 so I'm not old (yet), and I am so sick of seeing people of all generations who can't sit at a dinner table or in a movie theater without pulling out their smartphones that I just don't even want to own one anymore. I am not someone who is addicted to their phone to begin with - I really only use it for utility purposes - but knew I still needed to be able to do mobile banking and also use my home security apps, and maybe GPS sometimes. I've looked at a bunch of old school flip style phones but none of them really seemed to have the capabilities I needed. Then I came across this - saw that it had a touchscreen, ran android, and the ability to remove most of the bloatware that comes on devices. I bought it, charged it, and tested it for one day, and by the end of the day decided this was the perfect balance of a smartphone and dumbphone. It has live GPS positioning like your smart phone instead of the "step by step" written instructions that other flip phones have, I was able to use my Chase banking app to deposit a check and transfer funds between accounts, was able to log into the Ring app to check my house alarm status, and was able to use my Kasa security app to check the live camera feed from my home. Technically you could probably download a lot of other apps from the android store, but the old school design and small screen of this phone would definitely discourage a lot of people. The only downsides I've encountered is that because this is a flip phone, it doesn't have a powerful processor in it...meaning that apps that take your smartphone a second or two to open might take this phone up to 10 seconds to open. Installing apps from the app store can also take a bit (one of the 3 apps I mentioned took up to 5 minutes to download over a solid wifi connection). The other issue I've come across is that because the screen is small, sometimes the digital keyboard will take up half the screen and make it difficult to see what you're looking at. Thankfully you can use the # key of the keypad to cycle between the digital keyboard and the old style numerical keyboard, which will give you full view of your screen back, and then you can scroll as needed, then switch back to the digital keyboard if you want. The battery life seems about on par with the Pixel 8a smartphone I switched from so far. I charged it up yesterday morning, and was on it quite a bit while I tinkered with it, set up my settings, downloaded apps, and switched my service over to it. As of now, 24 hours later, it still has 46% charge left, which with my type of usage I'm sure will probably last today and most of tomorrow. So if you are a utilitarian person like me, I expect a full charge with minimal usage could average 3-4 days of battery life. UPDATE: Alrighty, a few days later, I think I've got the phone fully customized and tailored to me. Everything I don't need is disabled and battery saver is on. After a full charge and minimal usage (1 or 2 phone calls, several texts), it's lost about 20% in about 30 hours....so my guess of 3-4 days was accurate.

It seems pretty sturdy, but I was unable to set it up because it's not actually unlocked. I have MetroPCS, so it *should* be compatible, but it wouldn't accept or detect my (activated) SIM card. Additionally, while installing apps and syncing things from my old phone, this CAT S22 got noticeably hot in my hand!! (For context, this was in an air-conditioned room, so not a hot space.) Battery life didn't even seem that good; it started at 47% and dipped down to 38% in under an hour. It was kind of glitchy too. It detected my microSD card initially, but then on reboot (which you're supposed to do as part of recommended setup), it no longer detected it. I'm really disappointed.

I wanted to share my feedback regarding the phone. Overall, it is a great, easy-to-use device with quick processing that is definitely worth the price. It is very durable, and the battery life is solid. Although the screen was damaged when I dropped it in water, I reached out to the seller, and they promptly sent a replacement. I am very satisfied with the phone and the excellent customer service, and I am glad to continue using it.
