Very simple phone, but it works

4 out of 5 rating

JD Flip . 5 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

We have owned two of these phones for about 2-1/2 years. They are very simplistic with rudimentary features, but they do work OK. The documentation is marginal even the online manual from Alcatel is minimal. The battery life is very good and I can leave it "on" for a few days and it is still working. The small size fits right in my front pocket and I don't even know it is there sometimes. Many of the reviewers don't seem to like this phone, but after 2-1/2 years ours are still working for us. We only paid about $100 each for these phones. If folks are looking for more sophistication maybe they should be looking at smart phones. This phone is not smart at all. But like I said ours have both worked for what we need, with no problems at all. I have dropped mine many times and it still works.

Good option for a basic flip phone. Some quirks as the all have but this one is worth buying

4 out of 5 rating

paty . 6 months ago

I have used this phone for about 8 to 10 months now. It has a SD card so you can import your contacts via a vcf file. It supports bluetooth , I have had no problems with voice clarity or call clarity. text messaging is very good, MMS is a little clunky adding or seeing multiple names on a text, but you will learn around that. I don't use the email or internet option so I cannot comment on that. Pictures are decent enough (during day light - forget low light pictures). If your looking for a basic phone, rest assured with this one. Plan to be a little adaptable with a few quirks but its far from the Nokia garbage. I wasn't a huge fan of the soft buttons at first but over time they are just fine.

No real option for Seniors

2 out of 5 rating

No good Flip phone option . 6 months ago

All the flip phones are better for Seniors as the buttons are protected from being pushed inadvertently such as with the iPhone. Unfortunately, the buttons on these phones are so small and pushed together that you cannot determine where one button ends and another begins for seniors who can’t feel their fingertips much any more or their dexterity isn’t as functional. Why isn’t there a Flip or hone with bigger single buttons which aren’t as close together and are delineated in bold bright colors? Seniors rely on these devices in case of an emergency. Families need to stay in touch with them any time. Seniors independence depends on these phones in some cases. Please someone find a better easier to use phone for Seniors and the disabled.

Need my Alcatel replaced with same

5 out of 5 rating

Mouse Mom . 8 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I really like my Alcatel Go Flip V, but Verizon does not seem to have it after telling me they do. I have one that currently no longer works, bought a new battery (not from Verizon as they did not have it) and the new battery is a dud and won't work, literally made my phone spark. I need my phone for medical emergencies as well as being able to keep in touch with friends and family. I do not want a smart phone, so if they could just get me another Alcatel Go Flip V like they say they can, then say they can't, getting upset they cannot replace a Good Phone with the same one. I highly recommend This phone, if you can find it!!

Broken Hinge twice in the same spot

This phone works fine for me, however this is the second time the hinge has broken on the same side.

For being a flip phone, it is not user friendly at all.

Annie . 10 months ago

Had to upgrade to this flip phone due to the phasing out of 3G. My 93-year-old mom was very happy with her old flip phone until she got this one. Very difficult to use even for me as an iPhone user. It’s got too many options for a flip phone, and not user friendly.

How can I turn on the battery saver feature?

Answer from TCL/Alcatel Mobile10 months

Hi Dale. There is no battery saver mode on this model. If you want to conserve battery power, simply go to Settings > Display > Brightness > and reduce the percentage; go to Display backlight > change it to less time that it stays on; or go to Key backlight > change it to less time that it stays on or select Always off. Other connections that may consume power that you don't always use is the Bluetooth or WiFi. Turning these two connections will reduce battery consumption. Hope this helps. - Kevin.

Does this phone come preloaded with a number of useless junk? Just looking for a talk and text basic phone . Thanks

Answer from TCL/Alcatel Mobile11 months

Dear George, this is a simple feature phone. You can talk and text, but if you text often, then it would be easier with a smartphone than a feature phone. There are other items preloaded and it can be useful for some. - Kevin.
