I am from Hungary so i was very nervous if this kind of phone would work in my country BUT IT DOES!! And iam very happy about that. The delivery was about 3 weeks whitc is expacted, but everything went fine. My carries is Telekom so for annyone whos worried about it not being comatible, dont worry it is. Ive been useing it for a week now and everything works fine, i have all the apps id wanna use even Otp (my card), and it is slow but i dont mind it. The phone it self is beautiful, it is a bit big compared to other fliphones but i got used to it fast. I can only recomend to everyone!! Thank you so much Y2k phones yall are amazing!!🫶🫶💕

The phone is awesome!

I'll be honest about my own experience so people know what to expect when buying from this site. The product aka the phone is just as described and really cool! I have to get used to the new keyboard but I genuinely enjoy it a lot and I'm so happy I ordered it. From my own experience, I can say that the delivery was very very stressing. It is not the seller's fault. Everything was alright in the international shipping but the moment it reached my country (Romania) , everything just went down. I had no code for tracking my package, no information who has it and so on. It took around 1 month to deliver ever since I ordered but it was worth it. I will give it five stars because the seller deserves it. They were here for me every time I had an issue or was just anxious, trying to reassure me and such. I'm usually a very anxious person when it comes to online deliveries but I'm so happy it got to my home, safe and sound. I might edit this later if I remember when I've used the phone for a while. Until now, everything seems awesome, from a cool look to a nice layout. The camera quality is quite good for such a phone, the touch screen works well and the sound/microphone quality are also awesome. Thank you Y2K phones^^

I'm very happy with the ALT Mive itself — the phone works perfectly and does exactly what I expected. I wanted a detox and it actually does that and I can still use it for my daily things like spotify , pinterest and whatsapp. This phone exceeded my expectations and is really fun to use . I've had a little bit of problems with it reading the SIM but I had to change some settings and calls and mobile data work just fine. But be sure to check that your internet provider is combatible with the phone (mine was and I checked before buying). It is a little bit slow but it's perfect for what I wanted, also using the T9Traditional keyboard is a life saver and really easy to use.
However, the delivery process was stressful. Tracking updates were unclear after it entered Romania, and communication from the seller was slow. The package did arrive safely, but the shipping experience could definitely be improved. I think they should mention it takes so much time and maybe respond quicker I got really stressed especially at the final part I didn't get my final AWB and didn't know what to do.
Overall, great phone, average delivery.It arrived in approximately a month.

A really good phone for person's who wants to have a old flip phone vibe

Im from Mexico, the phone arrived as expected in time , the package was kind of wet but i guess its something about the shipping and not from the website.
The flip phone works really well alongside the case, the design its really pretty in white, it already has a language changing app to help embrace the phone, as a spanish speaker i appreciate that to make more accessibility to persons who doesn't speak english nor korean as the base languages the flip phone has, a little problem would be that the keyboard doesn't have a Ñ symbol by default and can be tricky to learn how to use the T9 keyboard, the screen its touchable too so its not big of a problem if you can't use it.

The specifications are correct as the page suggests, the screen has a screen protector and it had a little scratches but its not a problem at all, WhatsApp works good on the device, my carrier network its Telcel and receives good signal and calls, im not sure if it works with AT&T or other carrier networks, i haven't figured it out how to change the weather information on the main screen cause it seems to show the one from Korea, it has 30GB of internal space so i recommend to buy a large SD card memory if you need it to install or have stuff inside the phone

I totally recommend the page and the flip phone for sure if you are willing to use a Y2k phone type

Still worth it in 2026?

An in depth review. We'll start from weight it's pretty heavy! I expected the size to be big but when open it's the same size as my Galaxy S6 lite!!! So looks a bit awkward to takes call on it. Speaking of calls in ireland there are no networks issues at least for me, could receive calls and texts well. There is this thing in settings tho called DuraSpeed and if turned on it stops some notifications from showing so u might not receive some texts or calls but u can easily turn it off or customise the apps.
In terms of apps they all work well but some are a bit too laggy such as Google maps, yeah I would never use maps on it. Revolut works but its ehhh. WhatsApp works just fine you can do calls video calls, texting on keypad is pretty hard tho I gave up in 2 days lol and the screen keypad is so tiny that I would rather use the keypad. YouTube works very good!!! Camera and Audio is no problem either. I need to charge it twice in a day if i use YouTube for a few hours. Yeah so over all a good way to detox and slow down ur social media intake. You're restricted but not too much. Wish they (y2k) would add a pin for sim. slot

Loving this beauty 🤍✨️

I wanted to give it some time before writing a review so I can give at least a bit of in-depth thoughts on using it as a daily driver.

First of all, it arrived exactly 2 weeks as stated, here in NZ. It was perfect, for a second hand phone and honestly smelled new as well, it has that freshly factory made electronic smell (if you know what I mean).

There was no problem with the sim carrier I'm using, all apps are working as they should, though sometime they took a bit of time to load which is no problem at all and should be expected as well with this kind of phone. I don't have any social media downloaded on it expect, messenger and WhatsApp for communication. I didn't download the TT9 keyboard on it since it's easier for me to type in my language without having auto correction and whatnot that's popping up(this depend on u as well, if you want to type quickly and have words to be automatically corrected for convince). I've had the phone for 6 days now and almost done with designing and personalising it too.

I've got this phone because of the buttons haha and so that I avoid using my smartphone to just doomscroll for hours long, and just kind of limiting my time with social media as well and for my experience it really helped a lot.

I've got the cursor C9 which can be found on github to use with my alt mive so I won't have to touch the screen at all. Though it does get a bit frustrating from the first few days since trying to click on some things is a bit hard and will need you to reposition the cursor as well, but honestly you'll be able to get the hang of it after some time using the cursor. It made me love the phone so much even without using the screen to navigate, makes it more nostalgic to have a flip phone. And I also turned off the Dura speed from the settings as it restricts notifications on some applications from coming through.

I would recommend this to someone who really wants to try having a flip phone but still has the feature of a modern smart phones. It's great to carry around, but its surprising from the first time you see it for how long it is when flipped open but nothing you won't get use too, really light on pockets even with the case on.

And bonus part is that it has already a screen protector installed on it.

Overall, a great experience with ordering from y2kphones as well. Loving the phone so far and hoping that it will last me longer. 🤍🤍

(Hopefully, that wasn't a confusing review 🤧)

PNW or US buyers- Give it a chance!!

I did some digging to see if i could get this phone to work!! I may even create a little review on Reddit in the r/dumbphones for all those seeking this phone!

I use US Mobile and the warp sim (which uses verizon towers) and i was able to make calls and text. Its beautiful and easy to use. Took a bit to get here, but im just impatient! Customer service was great and they provide prompt responses!

Do your research and give this phone a try!!!

Amazing flip phone experience

Fast shipping to Spain. Works great with Telefonica and any derivative phone service provider. Phone arrived in great condition. Make sure to use TT9 keyboard app and C9 cursor for better useability. I also recommend Lawnchair launcher. Very glad with the service provided and will be very interested when the Mive 2 comes out in stock :)

10/10

Been using this as my main phone on my UK network for a few months. Powerfully fun. banking apps/taxi apps/maps/text/calls work just fine. Slower, and less everything all at once than your iphone, but who says everything has to be instantaneous anyway? Quality is what you pay for, so get a case. But best decision of my life for the ability to flip my phone open to answer a call, and flip it shut dramatically when I'm done. Have downloaded T9 keyboard app just fine, and personalised the home screen following Youtube video to make it cute. Obsessed with the adventure of it all. It's an endless talking point and actually functions to get me about, and life admin on the go. For bigger life admin needs you'll want a laptop or something on the side, but as an out and about phone 10/10 do recommend.

Parfait ! u

J'ai commandé mon téléphone ALT MIVE 120 installé débloqué, le 27 septembre et il est arrivé le 17 octobre (j'étais tellement impatiente de le recevoir). Comme je le disais j'étais tellement impatiente de recevoir mon téléphone, quand je l'ai reçu il marchait super bien comme actuellement. Par contre fautes attention aux cartes SD, j'en ai mis une non compatible et ce qui avait rendu mon téléphone inutilisable pendant 2 3 jours, heureusement que je l'ai retiré et donc il fonctionne merveilleusement bien. Je ne sais pas quelle carte SD utiliser pour avoir de l'espace en plus mais en attendant il supporte super bien les applications comme : Instagram, Tiktok, Pinterest, WhatsApp... Ainsi que des jeux. Il a une bonne qualité de photow le son aussi, d'ailleurs en connectant mon casque bluetooth au téléphone je me suis rendue compte que le son au maximum était moin puissant save mon téléphone tactile, ces qui es clairement mieux ça protège mon audition.
Juste ce qui aurait été super c'est de recevoir le téléphone avec la coque de protection, car elle coûte environ 20€

Works in the DR!

If you are looking for a digital detox that still allows you to run basic apps for daily living then this is for you. it arrived to Miami in exactly 14 days. Works in the Dominican republic under Claro. The screen has a small scratch but that's to be expected for a second hand phone.

So far so good

So far I'm pretty happy with the phone itself, not a huge fan that my original review seems to have been deleted though. It took roughly around 3 or so months for my phone to arrive but I'm just happy it made it in one piece. The support team helped tremendously with the process of figuring out the hold up with my phone in route. I'm sure if I were living in the U.S. instead of overseas the shipping process wouldn't be so bad.
