Hi All,
I recently ordered a PM SIM card and am having a tough time finding a new "dumb phone" (non-smartphone) for PM. I am hoping for suggestions on "dumb phones" that are PM compatible and which can easily be bought new online (less than 100$ CAD).
So far I have found these phones and am not sure which are compatible?
- Jethro SC318v2 - 3G Bar Style --> Bands: 3G WCDMA 850/900/1900 Mhz, 2G GSM 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz

[Found "Nokia 3310" (excluded the "3G" part) in PM compatibility checker = Not Compatible (?)]
Thanks in advance for any additional compatible phone suggestions/confirmation of the above phones' compatibility.

check out this link - the sim card should work because you can punch the sim card in your phone according to the required sim card size (standard, micro , nano)
the Nokia 3310 you are referring to uses a micro sim.
SC435 and SC318v2 uses micro sim as well if I'm not mistaken.
