Trying to figure out how to install Fongo on ZTE Cymbal2 flip phone.
No app store available thru phone, so trying to login in on online using its rudimentary web browser. But it keeps asking for the 'captcha,' which will not show on this basic default browser.
Typing my email and password just produces a message saying I have not inserted the correct code (the captcha, I guess) -- which is not even visible due to the browser's limitations.
Has anyone succeeded in getting Fongo to work on such a basic device as this ZTE flip phone (with only numeric keyboard to use for typing, etc.)?
Also no way to install any other browser, that I can see.

Re: how to install on ZTE flip phone
I’d be surprised if Fongo Mobile can work on that phone.

Android 7 or higher is required.
The ZTE Cymbal 2 runs a limited version of Android (likely without Google Play or the ability to sideload apps easily), and probably doesn’t support the Fongo Mobile app. Even if you could get the APK, the phone may lack the necessary system resources or services to run it properly.
Linux 3.18.71 is the kernel version used in older versions of Android. While it is technically Android-based, it behaves more like a feature phone OS due to its extreme limitations. The web browser may also lack CAPTCHA support.

While I don’t think it’s possible to get Fongo Mobile working on that phone, I could be wrong.
