The TT970 takes a nano size sim card only. The adapter can be bought from any nearby mobile store. The TT970 is 4G compatible and will work in any country on any network.
The micro Sd memory card is for added memory of the mobile phone. It is optional and it is sold separately. Please note that you can use a memory card for no larger than 32 GB whilst the phone has a storage capacity of 4GB.
Why doesn’t the TT970 have MMS?
Yes, the TTfone TT970 has a simple Android menu that can be navigated through the large keypad or the touchscreen. However, the phone will not allow downloading any other APPs other than the ones on the phone already.

What is the Emergency Assistance Button on the back?
It’s a button that can be programmed to call whichever number or number you choose so that everyone you want to be notified in case of emergency gets a phone call.

The SOS button will also send out emergency text messages and your current location to your pre-set loved ones. Please Note: If one of the emergency numbers has a voicemail system, the phone will assume that the call has been answered and will no longer call any more of the preset numbers.
