Hi @jdoidge, welcome to the community.
You will need to install the Check in Queensland Android or Apple app…BUT…
Unfortunately the Nokia 2720 uses the KaiOS and this operating system isn’t one the Queensland government developed an app for. Unfortunately the Nokia 2720 can’t be used for the Check in Queensland QR system. Not news you will want to hear as your new phone can’t be used to check in in Queensland.
While your phone may read QR codes, the Queensland QR code system is locked meaning registered Qld QR codes used for check-in can only be read using the state government’s Check in Queensland app. In effect, the QR code can only be read through the app. If you do scan a registered QR code with another QR reading app, it will point you to install the Checkin Queensland app to scan the registered QR code.
For information on the Check in Queensland, see
I have recently had to migrate my parents from their striped down android OS flip phones to a reasonably priced android Vivo smart phone for the same reason…so they could Check in in Queensland. Their flip phones could read QR codes, but the Check in Queensland app couldn’t be installed.
It might be worth taking it back to the store you bought it from (in new condition with all packaging, documents and accessories) to see if they will exchange it for an Android smart phone (these are cheaper than Apple phones). Hopefully they have a favourable change of mind policy.
If they sold you the Nokia phones saying they can be used for Qld QR code check-ins, this is even better as they mislead you and under the Australian Consumer Law you can ask for a remedy… exchange or refund.
