Why doesn’t the TT970 have MMS?
We have not enabled MMS in TT970 due to screen size and software restrictions but we are always working on improving the software with the TTfone TT970 and may look to add this feature in the future if enough customers ask for it
Is TT970 an android phone and do I need a Data plan?
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. It is advisable to get a data plan from your network provider so you can use WhatsApp, FB lite, Youtube, and even browse the internet. Also without a data plan, the SOS function cannot send your location.
Is WhatsApp pre-installed?
Yes, WhatsApp is a built-in application on the mobile phone. Simply set up the WhatsApp wizard settings and make sure you have WiFi connection or mobile data to communicate your loved ones. Whats app will ask you first to agree the terms and conditions, then will ask to verify your phone number and will send you a text message with a code. Enter this code to start using Whatsapp.
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 people on the other end of the line then can hear everything going on. It also activates a loud alarm to draw attention from bystanders so they can assist until help arrives. 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.
Does this have Facebook and twitter and send and receive emails?

Can I add a ringtone?
You can save additional music/ring tone of your choice and set it as a ringing tone to your TT970. To do this, you need to connect the TT970 to a computer using a USB cable and add the music or use the Bluetooth sharing facility to receive a music file from another device. When using Bluetooth, pair the two devices first and start sharing the file. Once done transferring/sharing the files, on your TT970 go to Multimedia > Music and select the music that you want to set as a ringtone, press the middle navigation key, and select set as ringtone
