New Flip Phone

chocfc . 14 days ago

Nice to have bigger numbers/letters but miss some of the features I had on the last flip phone such as calendar and easier transition from small to large case.

Flip phone 3

Phone is ok problem is I have bad eyesight so don’t print is not large enough and green color is not good should be black on white

For when kids get in trouble

UnsolicitedParentAdvice . 3 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

My kids have a phone for my convenience, not theirs. And let’s be real, carrying a flip phone is way more humiliating for a teenager than not having one at all. So, when they pull something like staying up until 3 a.m. on a school night binge watching YouTube, we whip out this glorious little relic. A quick SIM card swap, and boom, they’re reminded that actions have consequences, one awkward text at a time.

Cost

Jimbob . 4 months ago

I purchased this phone but although the price online is $79.99, by the time I paid for taxes, and activation fees I paid $150 after negotiating from an initial $171 out the door? Why are these additional costs not mentioned in your online ad?

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We recommend that you reach out to your sales representative to explain this to you. Best regards, Kevin.

Verizon Call Filter Plus

Kathy H . 4 months ago

I switched my MIL’s broken iPhone 7 for this simpler phone due to the more advanced features of newer model of iPhones being too difficult for her. I explicitly asked the Verizon chat support if this phone would support Call Filter Plus. They said all perks that were with the previous phone would be available with this flip. It wasn’t. Now getting an SE2020

TCL Expert - 4 months ago

Thank you for your feedback. The Call Filter Plus is an app that runs on the Android OS smartphone. The Flip 3 is a simple flip phone that runs on KaiOS. It doesn't have this app. However, the Flip 3 has the blocking feature that you can manually prevent the same caller from calling. - Kevin.

Poor Quality

Robert . 5 months ago

When phone rings you open the phone and the call is disconnected. Try getting a replacement under warranty but that failed. Verizon wanted to upgrade but that cost. Why not fix the problem before trying to sell.
