            Does what I need it to do. Make phone calls. Receives SMS text. Send text.

            Remove the SIM card from the iPhone, install it the 6300.

            I made a few setup changes...

            Bottom line it is an backup if my primary iPhone breaks.

              Java games and apps (.jar files) : NO
              Random Alarm clock: Yes (this is crazy experience :D)
              Turning off internet data is not working.
              Writing SMS: tragedy
              I expected much more from this phone and I god the same feeling: Nokia after Symbian end is garbage. Last good phone was Nokia 3310 3g 2017 (only TA-1036 where many of the old java games and apps worked).

                Had a C2. best phone I ever owned, ran 10 years and then 3G disappeared. Bought a Nokia 6300 without hesitation, what a terrible decision. The keypad skips characters, sometimes 2 at a time. Sometimes the phone doesn't detect key presses. It's almost unusable for texting; a pretty basic function.
                Sometimes the phone turns off. One must remove and reinstall the battery to start it up again.
                The 38 page manual is also pretty useless. In th etext the keys are sometimes referred to with the name(must look at the drawing) and sometimes with the symbol printed right on the key(should be a no brainer). Warns us not to touch the antenna area but the antenna area is not shown in the drawing.
                I suspect that Nokia framed out this development job to a third party in order to save money and they got what they paid for.
                As one who has been designing electronic products for almost 40 years I cans authoritatively say that the 6300 is a real POS.
                This phone is so bad that Nokia went from a devoted customer to a never-again customer in one step.
                To add insult to injury their website is a veritable maze designed to discourage customers and prevent them from contacting Nokia.

                    I upgraded from Nokia 3310 3G because it had a hard limit of 200 text messages.

                    Nokia 6300 4G is:

                    -Much slower
                    -Has terrible keypad, I'dont want to send text messages anymore. It's hard to input just one letter or number, usually I get two.
                    -Has a shiny plastic surface where all fingerprints and dirt show.
                    -Speaker function is unusable, the receiver can't make out what I'm saying
                    -After two years the battery is already dying

                      Hi

                      I bought this phone for my wife. My wife has 2 email addresses. One gmail & one hotmail.
                      Currently they are both combined and accessed by the Nokia email icon. Is there any way I can separate the 2 email accounts and have 1 icon for each email account?

                      Thanks!

                      Paul

                        It is slow and not working very well in general. This I could live with for the great benefit of not having a smartphone. Sound is decent when not using the speaker. But the worst thing is the keypad. Sometimes a push gives no response, sometimes one push gives double response. Writing is a nightmare. A short sms will take a long time and lots of frustration to write, since you have to correct every second character. This I can not take.

                          Can NOT do email with my provider as id does not provide a secure loging

                          The Nokia 6300 4G does not have login 0aut2 which is used by more and more email
                          providers for a more secure login

                          Provided since 2015 on an Iphone SE, it still , 7 years later is not installed in the 6300 4G

                          I contacted Nokia . No update is scheduled

                            The revival of a legendary 6300 seemed to be a great idea on paper, with a somehow powerful processor and a promising OS (for these nuggets ofc). In reality the device isn’t a bad one inside, but ugly as hell outside ngl. Ye olde 6300 had a metal frame with a removable metal backplate which felt really nice in hands, new one, on the other hand, offers you a cheap looking full plastic body. 1 step forward and 2 backwards as for me.

                              Loudspeaker is not loud enough for a elder and KaiOS needs lots of improvements like in basic apps like contacts. It doesn't make use of the keyboard at all. You have to always go to the search bar and select it and type the name. You cannot just type the name as soon as you open the app. Lack of these kinds of minor features makes it un intuitive to use. Nokia please go back to making those flagship Symbian Feature phones.

                                    Can anyone tell me if one can change the screen so that it shows a list of apps instead of the icons (or grid)?

                                      If you need a basic phone, there are much better options. I was really wanting to like this phone. But Kai OS is hard to use (convoluted) and overall hardware is poor (feels "toy" cheap). Screen is super faded, sound is terrible, navigation goofy, key icons are bad, and reception is horrible with a line-of-sight tower. But there is one major bug, you can't change default speed dial "1" (marked as voicemail) for your voicemail short-code. Defaults to 186. If you need 123, forget it. Support can't fix this. It's a software "feature". Now for good...dual sim, but you'll likely break thin rear cover and cheesy clips if you change them more than a few times. Yeah, that's it.

                                      Overall, I have owned smaller candy bar phones that were lowly 2G with better reception, easier to navigate, better sound quality and smaller with bright and clear screens, well marked keys, and better battery life. Plus, got them all for less than half the price!
