What are Kosher Mobile Phones?
This article suggests kosher mobile phone choices in relation to Telebroad's UNI-Mobile global cellular service.
Kosher mobile phones are limited in "smart" functionality and mobile data connectivity in order to avoid digital distractions and exposure. They purposely block or lack web browsing, social media, and other content consumption capabilities, and have restricted or no app installation options.
Kosher mobile phones tend to prioritize voice and texting communication over all-purpose use. They either have simplified hardware and software or come with a modified operating system or a filtration layer that removes distracting features and allows only approved or customized apps that abide by kosher standards.
Users should generally expect less frequent software or firmware updates since manufacturers have to verify that these don't interfere with the kosher modifications and functionality.
Types of Kosher Phones
Kosher phones can be generally classified into four types of devices based on tiers of hardware and operating systems. These classifications may overlap or be used interchangeably by vendors, manufacturers, or even users' own expectations.
Furthermore, these classifications also have to do with a phone's available features. Even more advanced phones may be modified, run filtering software, or can be bought in a talk-only or talk-and-text configurations that practically make them work like basic or feature phones.
Dumb/Basic phones: These are the simplest devices, based on the legacy cellular technology that was in use before the advent of smartphones. Their hardware only allows calling and texting since they do not have a cellular modem, meaning they are completely incapable of any mobile data connectivity and internet browsing. This makes them a no-fuss choice for more stringent kosher users, but users should still consider that these phones may have an FM radio feature.
Since more advanced cellular phones are very affordable, pure basic phones are less common, and it is easier to find modified feature phones with talk-only functionality.
Feature phones: These phones do have mobile data connectivity. However, their form factor and small screens make internet browsing impractical or inconvenient. They include only an essential set of pre-installed apps and no option to install additional apps or perform software updates. They usually have a physical keypad and a user interface that supports it, but some models do have touch screens.
Smart feature phones: This hybrid category gives users more smart features, but with a form factor and hardware that are still very similar to regular feature phones. The difference is usually a more advanced operating system (like KaiOS or a trimmed-down version of Android) and a user interface that takes advantage of a touch screen. They also offer better software upgradability, allowing manufacturers to introduce new approved apps and general improvements.
Modified smartphones: These are normal smartphones but with a modified OS/user interface or a filtering layer that allows only selective data connectivity and installation of approved apps or kosher software bundles.
Communication Configuration Choices
While the main focus of kosher phones is avoiding web browsing and undesirable content, access to other communication services may also be limited or blocked.
Many phone models can be bought with different communication configurations. For example, users can buy the same model as talk-and-text, talk-only, or other configurations that suit their kosher requirements.
With basic, feature, and smart feature phones, it is usually not possible to change the initial configuration to access additional communication features. A user would typically need to purchase a new phone with the communication services they need, rather than reconfigure their existing phone.
Smartphones are much more flexible in this regard, but it is still advisable to consider future needs and ask vendors for upgrade and reconfiguration choices.
Talk only: The phone can only make and receive voice calls.
Talk and text (no MMS!): In addition to voice calls, the phone can send and receive text messages, but multimedia messages (images, video, audio, and files) are disabled.
Talk and MMS: Voice calls and full multi-media texting are enabled. The phone can send and receive text messages, images, audio, and file attachments.
Calls and media only: The phone can make and receive voice calls and include selected media apps such as camera, music player, and voice recorder. The music player supports sideloaded files only (no streaming). Pictures or audio captured with the camera or voice recorder cannot be shared with any messaging apps, unless transferred to other devices.
Talk, SMS, and Internet: Voice calls and full multi-media texting are enabled, and the phone also has email, WhatsApp, or other messaging apps. Web browsing is blocked on these phones. WhatsApp or other messaging apps are modified versions optimized for reducing distractions by blocking social-like features such as channels, groups, status updates, or even media sharing.
Web Browsing Filtration
For smartphones and smart feature phones, additional user choices involve the level of web browsing filtering methods.
Filtering software may already be included with the phone or may require a monthly subscription.
The strictest method is to simply block all website browsing and searching (while still allowing internet connectivity for approved apps).
For users who do require web browsing, whitelist or category filtering allows access only to specific websites or to websites from specific categories. An even more flexible method is content filtering that examines and blocks inappropriate text, images, and videos in real time and can be combined with safe search filtering that hides undesirable search results.
Kosher filtering software providers are listed below.
Buying Considerations and Guidelines
- The phone must be unlocked. That means it's not tied down to a specific carrier and can accept any service provider SIM cards.
- While your phone should not be tied down to any specific carrier, in North America the Uni-Mobile service runs on the AT&T network, and your phone needs to be compatible with its cellular frequencies.
While the phones listed in this article are compatible with the cellular frequencies of the AT&T network, hardware and firmware keep changing and we cannot guarantee they will work with our UNI-Mobile service in all situations. Please consider the return/exchange policy of the manufacturer/vendor before purchasing a phone. - Even if you only intend to use your phone for voice calls and texting, it should to be 4G/LTE compatible to be able to use UNI-Mobile SIMs and service.
If you intend to use your phone in other countries, you can find a list of international carriers here, but ideally you should look for a phone with worldwide network compatibility. - For texting and email, keep in mind that phones with a physical keypad use a technology called T9 Predictive for text input that compares key presses to a built-in dictionary. This may take a bit to get used to and can be somewhat slower compared to a touch keyboard. You should, however, avoid phones that use the older and much slower multi-tap method that requires repeated key presses to cycle through letters.
- Besides looking specifically for "Kosher phones", you can also consider "digital-detox phones", "talk and text only phones", or "elderly/senior phones". These are not likely to have an official kosher certification, but can offer the sought-after limited or blocked internet experience that technically satisfies kosher requirements.
UNI-Mobile Installation and Activation Tips
Consider the following tips when installing and activating a UNI-Mobile plan on a kosher phone:
- It is preferable, especially for non smartphones, to use a physical UNI-Mobile SIM over an eSIM. This will make installation easier and likely save the need to configure settings.
- Kosher phones are unlocked devices designed to work with multiple carriers. However, if you can't get your phone to register with the carrier's network (AT&T in North America), you can try activating the SIM in a different device recognized by the carrier, and then putting it back in the kosher phone.
- If the phone settings allow it, you can manually input the network's APN settings, which you can find here.
- Additional suggestions for troubleshooting your UNI-Mobile connection can be found here.

Mudita Kompakt
| Manufacturer/vendor kosher attestment: No Find it at www.store.mudita.com/store Jewish life apps/tools included: No Dual SIM + eSIM (can use either microSD or 2nd SIM) WiFi/Bluetooth: Yes/Yes + NFC GPS: Yes Display: 4.3” E-Ink®, 800x480 resolution Battery capacity: 3300 mAh Li-Polymer Processor: MediaTek MT6761V/WBA Memory: 3GB Internal storage: 32GB MicroSD card slot: up to 2TB. 3.5mm headphone jack Camera: 8MP with dual-color flash Water Resistance: IP54 dust/splash resistance |  |
The Mudita Kompakt is a Polish-made smart feature phone that sets itself apart from the crowd thanks to an E-Ink screen. Commonly found in eBook readers, E-Ink displays are ideal for reading and are considered healthier since they reduce eye strain and radiate no blue light. They also remain clear and readable even in bright sunlight and increase battery life. The tradeoff is a low screen refresh rate, but that by itself makes them less appealing for media consumption and web browsing.
Another unique feature is a dedicated offline mode that can be toggled with a physical button and disables cellular reception, the microphone, the camera, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi to give the user complete privacy and distraction-free usability.
Out of the box, the Mudita Kompakt has no web browsing capabilities or an app store and does not support Google services. It has SMS/MMS messaging but has no other messaging apps. It includes a calculator, weather, calendar, camera, voice notes, meditation, and Chess apps. It also has an eReader app for comfortable reading of books and documents, and a map app with offline mode.
Do note that additional apps can be sideloaded to the device by connecting it to a computer. This, however, requires an intentional effort by the user and some degree of technical knowledge. Sideloaded apps may not function properly as they would not be optimized for E-Ink or require Google services.
It is also important to mention that Hebrew is not included for either the user interface or input. Mudita told us that sideloading additional fonts may be possible, but they cannot confirm how the device will function with these. If you regularly use Hebrew or Yiddish in texting, you may want to consider other devices.
The Mudita Kompakt is compatible with cellular networks worldwide on its Global version. However, US users should choose the North America Optimized version as it supports more US and Canadian frequencies and has been successfully tested in several American cities. For the North American version, you need to select "United States" as the shipping country on the Mudita store page.
TAK S7
| Find it at: www.takphones.com Manufacturer/vendor kosher attestment: Yes Jewish life apps/tools included: only Zmanin WiFi/Bluetooth: Yes/Yes Display: 2.8-inch Touchscreen Screen resolution: 480*640 Memory: 4GB Internal storage: 64GB Camera: 5MP rear camera+2MP front-facing Battery capacity: 2150mAh |  |  |
Unmistakably kosher with Hebrew letters on its keypad and a Vaad HaKehillos kosher certification on its directional pad, the Tak S7 is a good choice for travelers thanks to global 4G networks compatibility and a dual SIM card slot.
It has a full dictionary for English, Hebrew, and Yiddish, and text can be entered with both on-screen and T9 keyboards.
The phone runs a modified Android 13 operating system, with a kosher-encrypted layer to block internet access, video playback, and app installations. It receives regular software updates to improve functionality and user experience.
The phone can be ordered in three Kashrus configurations: talk & text, talk only with media apps (camera, music player, recorder), or talk only. Compared to other smart-feature phones, currently the list of apps is a bit limited and is more on par with a feature phone, but it does have the Zmanim app for daily halachic times, and the music app has a tag editor.
Wonder Phone

The Wonder phone is billed as having been built kosher from the ground up, offering simplicity and practicality without compromise. A built-in feedback option lets users request system refinements, and a wireless update app allows easy downloading of software updates.
The phone can be ordered in a talk and text, talk and media, or talk only configuration.
An on-screen keyboard and T9 predictive text of the keypad can be used for input. The touch screen has an anti-glare coating for use even in bright sunlight. The battery is removable for easy replacement or backup power, and the phone has 14W fast charging.
Users who need good media capabilities would appreciate its 21MP camera that supports HDR mode for better shots in any environment and an expansion slot that accepts SD cards up to 2TB. It also has a voice recorder, a music player app, and supports text-to-speech.

Smart Phones
KosherOS Smart Phones
Manufacturer/vendor kosher attestment: Yes
https://kosheros.com/collections/current-phones
Jewish life apps/tools included: Yes (depending on the seleced app package)
Smartphones are inherently designed for internet use, media consumption, and app installation. The availability of kosher smartphones requires a software solution that blocks internet access, features, and app installation on the operating system level.
One such solution is KosherOS from SafeTelecom for Android devices. It is an operating system that fully controls the software running on the phones they sell, excluding all the apps and features they do not approve. Their phones give you full access to Google services but block any direct or indirect web browsing access.
We have confirmed with SafeTelecom that KosherOS is not merely a user interface or a launcher layer, but an actual custom operating system that is permanent on the device. Booting into safe mode or performing a factory reset will not expose any unwanted Android features since KosherOS will remain as the only active and accessible operating system.
KosherOS phones can be ordered with different app packages and initial functionality can be further extended with apps from the proprietary SafeTelecom app store. The growing list of apps is meticulously inspected to ensure they do not allow web browsing access or bypass other restrictions.
SafeTelecom sells Google Pixel and Moto G KosherOS phones with 18 months of free software updates. Also, if you already own a Google Pixel device, you can have them install KosherOS on it for you.
Kosher Phones Vendors
The phones we have listed above can be bought directly from their companies.
For additional phone options, price comparison, or configuration choices you can visit the following vendors' websites.
Note that many of the Kosher phones offered by these vendors have been modified to block some features or outfitted with filtering software. Buying the same models in other online or physical stores that do not specialize in kosher products may result in a device that lacks kosher standards.

Additional Options for Reducing Digital Distractions
If you already own a smartphone and don't wish to modify its user interface or buy another phone, it is possible to make your phone behave like a feature phone.
While the following methods are not strictly kosher and can be turned off at will, they do provide an on-the-go temporary option for a less distracting digital usage until users can apply a better kosher solution.
Simulating a Feature Phone with Ultra Power Saving
Most smartphones support a battery-saving mode that can double or even triple the time the phone can function before it needs to be charged. In this mode, only several selected apps can be used, making for a distraction-free digital experience.
Activating the mode may vary by brand and OS. You can look for it by searching your phone's settings for "Power saving", "Battery saver", "Limit apps", or similar phrases.
Depending on the phone brand and model, notifications may still show for all apps and not just the apps you selected. You would need to disable notifications for any app you wish not be distracted by.
The following steps are for Samsung phones running the One UI interface:
- Go to your phone settings by swiping from the top and tapping the Settings (
) button. - Scroll down and tap Battery.
- Tap Power saving and toggle on Limit apps and Home Screen.
- To enable maximum power saving, you can use the Power saving toggle on the same screen. It is more convenient, however, to swipe from the top to access Quick Settings and tap the Power saving button.
- When enabled, you can select only 8 apps to use on the Home Screen.
- To switch back to normal functionality, tap the menu button and select Turn off Power Saving.
Note that in this mode, the lock screen may be disabled on some devices or will not support fingerprint or password verification. Therefore, before enabling it, you should set up PIN protection for your phone.
Minimalist Launchers and Other Feature Controls Apps
An assortment of feature control apps are available for both Android and iOS to limit and block smartphones functions. These include app blockers, firewalls to limit internet access, and parental control and screen time management tools. Users can combine several apps for better phone control, for example access to a firewall app can be prevented by locking it with an app blocker.
Minimalist launchers are user interface apps that are help reduce screen time and digital distractions on smartphones. They offer a simpler usage experience that encourages productivity and focus with cleaner home screen layout,display of just essential information, and replacing icons with a text-based interface.
Similar to filtering software and relevant to kosher needs, some launchers can also block or hide notifications and app access (before buying, please make sure the launcher supports this feature).
Advantages of launchers over filtering software:
- Ease of installation. Launchers can be downloaded from app stores and installed in minutes.
- They offer more flexible customization, especially for display and aesthetic settings.
- They are usually cheaper than filtering software with lower subscription fees and lifetime purchasing options also available.
Disadvantages of launchers compared to filtering software:
- Launchers need to be more specifically configured for kosher requirements, while filtering software is kosher-ready out of the box.
- Launchers cannot block web access per se. Instead, the user will need to block access to all unwanted apps that provide web access.
- Launchers are much easier to disable and circumvent than filtering software.
You can find minimalist launchers by searching your app store for "Minimalist phone/launcher", "Detox launcher", or "Dumbphone" on both Android and iOS.
