My new old phone!
New because... well, it's new. Ordered it on 9/9 and it arrived earlier today.
But old because it's just a relatively low-tech (I guess) keypad phone, not a smartphone.
Also, it is a myphone. That's a local brand that I believe has stopped manufacturing phones a few years back. So basically, they are just selling the remaining stock they have.
In fact, the day before I ordered, I was planning to get a cheaper one priced at P499, but the next day that was out of stock already. They only had 4 left, I think.
So I had to choose the next model which was priced at P549. At the end of the day, that also went out of stock. Good thing I was able to order before it ran out or I will have to go for the next one which is P699.
Anyway, so far this is working fine! Hopefully, it will last a while.
Oh and also... I chose this 'old' phone because I just really needed one that can accomodate my old 'big' sim card(s) - mini (and micro). Most phones nowadays can only take the nano sims.
How was your day mylot?
Add:
Hmm... I've been trying to add a picture (of the phone) to this post but it doesn't seem to be working. Is there a limit to the size of pictures that can be uploaded?
Or is it up and I just can't see it?
--> Pic is up! Thanks to the comments about resizing.

Ah.
Sad that they closed. I liked myphones...
Apparently, though, they still have a lot of old stock...? Because I checked again today in their official shop in Shopee (where I ordered from), and they have stock for the P499 and P549 models again. Lol!
So apparently, if only I waited a while longer, I could have gotten the cheaper one. Ahahaha!
Anyway, at least I know where to look in case I need another one.

@moirai I really don't know if they stopped the production. I will ask my ex. He is still in touch with his staff as far as I know. And yes their product is good and I liked it actually. It is the only company that thee Philippines must be proud of even it is actually owned by Chinese.

Pics have to be three mb I think. As for the phone itself, as long as it works.

@moirai I can see it. You're right, it's a dumb phone, but if it works for you, that's all it needs to do.

@kaylachan Lol!
When I first heard the term "dumb phone", I was confused. 'What is that?', I thought. And then I realized... smart phone vs. dumb phone.
Haha!
Yup, it's enough for what my old sims need. My other android phones can take care of other stuff.
