Connectivity and Networks
Supporting GSM 2G technology, the ZTE R230 was built for basic communication, with no 3G or 4G capabilities. This means that while users could make calls and send SMS and MMS, internet usage was severely limited. The GPRS capability allowed some level of basic internet access. Its Bluetooth 2.0 support (in the R230BT variant) was a significant feature for those who needed to transfer files or use wireless headsets, given the lack of Wi-Fi.
