Flip 3 basic phone

Verizon Customer . 23 days ago

Flip 3 works perfect for what I need. Just voice and text. Good sound quality. No issues.

Great phone

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

This phone was purchased for a 90 year old relative. It is perfect for them! They only need a phone for making and receiving calls… the text feature is not used. It is easy to use and is just what we needed.

Voice is very "crackle-y" - ok for a basic phone. Text seems to be delayed.

TCL/Alcatel Mobile - 1 month ago

Hello, sorry to hear about that. If the person on the other end is having trouble hearing you, it’s possible the microphone is obstructed. The microphone picks up your voice through a small pinhole located at the bottom of the phone, near the USB charging port. Please check for any debris, such as dust or lint, that might be blocking it, and gently clear it if needed. Let us know if the issue continues. - Kevin.

If I purchase this phone, is there a way to get all my contacts from my old phone without having to manually enter each one? I have a lot of contacts, so having to do so would be quite tedious and take an inordinate amount of time.
