Alcatel GO FLIPV

Got this phone for my 75 yr old father. He claims this is best flip phone he’s had. Ease of use and loud ring with vibration. Works great if you just need a phone.

My dad is almost deaf, but can hear in this phone. I’m ordering another one for my Mom

Not and LG but definitely a good phone. The battery life is excellent. Took some getting used to but love the phone. Definitely good for those who do not want iPhones .

This is a great phone for those who don't want a smartphone or like me need one to do the occasional break from my Iphone. It's not thick like the kyocera duraxv lte and more of a throw back phone. Battery life is really good and the os doesn't lag when going on the internet to check fb, etc. Nice to take a break now and then from constantly looking at my phone.

I rarely write reviews, but had so much uncertainty about opting for this basic phone, based on the reviews I did see, that I feel moved to weigh in. This is a perfectly fine flip phone. Initially I was a bit disappointed with how it compared to my ten-year-old LG flip phone; the buttons do feel a bit cheaper, it's quite a bit bigger, and overall it does convey a indisputable sense of the late '90s. But it's been a fairly swift adjustment. The call quality is quite good. The menu interfaces are a bit hard to understand at first, but eventually began to make sense. Messaging also seems to work fine, with the exception of the apostrophe character seeming not to exist (?!). And best of all for my purposes, the phone includes a headphone jack that will allow me to have my hands free while I use it--free to cling to my dream of living in a world without smartphones.
