This is a great value mobile phone. I go hiking, boating and mountain climbing quite often and always carry a back-up phone. My previous Samsung (back-up) phone had died after 14 years of service and I must say the TT190 has replaced it efficiently.
For my purpose, I need a phone which can send/receive calls and messages and has a long battery life. My main iPhone lasts not more than 24 hours and when using google maps, calls, messages, watsapp, music etc., it turns out to be untrustworthy in dire situations. The TT190 provides that additional assurance on these trips.
Some of the positive points:
+The number pad is large, and clear to access and click
+The screen is plentiful and sharp without jarring edges
+There is a handy torch and a one-touch SOS button at the back
+Battery last about a week when not in use which is perfect
+Memory can be expanded by using an SD Card
+Very light weight
+There is also a 'radio' function
+Works on 2G which is accessible pretty much everywhere
Some challenging points:
-The back cover is flimsy and tough to remove. I was worried I might break it when trying to open to insert the battery
-Strangely, there are no braille dots on the keypad
You have to use the full sized sim-card, which can be bought pretty much everywhere. But if you want to swap sim from your iPhone/Android phone, then you can get a micro/mini sim adapter easily on Amazon.
Overall, very pleased with the TT190. True value for money, easy to use and great functionally.
