Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a dumbphone / feature phone that works well in Switzerland. What I’m looking for:

  • Physical keypad phone (not a touchscreen)
  • Preferably not a flip phone, but I’m open to it if there are good options
  • 4G connectivity
  • WhatsApp support
  • Possibly basic Android access so I can occasionally check email or banking apps
  • Budget: under 100 CHF I initially considered the Nokia 3210, but since it doesn’t run Android and WhatsApp is no longer supported there, it doesn’t really work for what I need. I’ve also seen many Chinese keypad phones (Qin, etc.), but from what I read some of them have 4G band compatibility issues in Switzerland, so I’m unsure which ones actually work reliably here. If anyone in Switzerland is using a keypad phone that supports WhatsApp and 4G, I’d really appreciate hearing what model you use and whether it works well with Swiss networks. Thanks! submitted by /u/Marethju
