The Amazon Fire Phone came out in 2014. No: it has no VoLTE, so it can't make calls on AT&T or any other US carrier.
The quick answer
- Calls: no
- Software: Fire OS 3.6
- Still works offline for some features
- Worth keeping as a collectible
Why it can't connect
The Fire Phone was an AT&T exclusive and relied on 3G for calls. AT&T shut down 3G in 2022.
What still works
It powers on and the camera works. Amazon's Firefly and app store support is limited or gone.
What it's worth
Amazon cut the price fast and many were sold, so values are low.
If you're replacing it
A new moto g 2026 or Galaxy A17 costs little, gets years of updates, and several carriers give them away when you switch. Pair it with a low-cost plan such as Mint Mobile ($15 a month for 6GB on a 12-month term) or Visible ($25 for unlimited, taxes included).
Current offers from Metro, T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T and Xfinity.
