What phone model is the church giving out now to new missionaries?

[davemc]

My daughter started her mission last week at the Provo MTC. Each missionary is now given a church-owned phone. What model is it?

I'm buying her a bluetooth keyboard to pair with her phone since she says the on-screen keyboard is hideous. (She's raised on iPhone.) I also think all the time she'll save is worth the 20 bucks for the keyboard.

I want the keyboard to a) work with her phone, and b) be able to charge with the same wire as the phone does, so I need to know what it is.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave! FYI this post is on the wrong topic. This topic is for Member Mobile Applicstions.

Nonetheless, missionaries are currently given the Galaxy A23 5G at the Provo MTC. Any wireless Bluetooth keyboard that is charged using USB C or replaceable batteries will do fine.

Best Regards,
Elder Andrew Sabolsky

Do missionaries keep the phone, or is it cycled to other missionaries with transfers or when their mission finishes?

Right now they seem to be giving missionaries galaxy 23a phones. I started my mission before they gave us phones and I had to buy my own so I don't have that. I don't think they get to keep them. They recicle the phones I think

That may vary between Missions or Areas but i don't know, my sister that is now serving in Brazil uses an Sansung A14 and my other sister that served on the same country used an Sansung A10.
