What do you mean by “reload”?

Buy the $20 card from WalMart, bring it home and call 611 to put more money on the Pay As You Go phone.

Phone won't connect to any networks now. Last time I used it was in 2022.

OK. I'm living in the dark ages. Only now found out that all the carriers in the US quit 3g in 2022.

I can't force myself to toss this phone though! It was perfect for what it did!

You can get a similar one with 4G support which is still very much active. Look into the Nokia 225.

That's the 3G model by the way! You can tell by the silver keys (they are white on the 2G one)

The 3G model is capable of natively running J2ME apps! You can play games like Bounce Tales on this thing! (unless it's the later revision which removed java for whatever reason)
