The sales person told us it had voice activation and it does not. My husband is partially blind and cannot see the buttons to call someone. Now we have a phone that is useless.

Good phone

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I got really tired of using smartphones. People today are mentally sick using their smartphones for everything except common sense. Nobody needs all that junk on their phones. I like simplicity and normality. Great flip phone overall.

Just what I looking for! I do not text. I answer calls in my phone book and return calls that leave a message. I have access to the internet on other devices!

DREADFUL PHONE & AWFUL VERIZON SERVICE

DISGUSTED CUSTOMER . 1 month ago

I originally had your Orbic Journey flip phone which you gave me when Verizon stopped supporting my Nokia 3g technology flip phone. Orbic had 4g technology. Now, with this TCL I am stuck with the TOTALLY UNHEALTHY 5g technology. The phone is built with deplorable material. It picks up every fingerprint, and it is impossible to gently wipe off. Even the managers and staff at the Verizon store said that everyone has the same complaint, and they had nothing to suggest. Unlike Orbic Journey, there are no words on this screen to send you to Contacts or other screens. No one at the Verizon stores wanted to migrate my contacts from Orbic to TCL. It was a horror and A DISASTER. One staff member at the Verizon Store in Manhasset, L.I. got some contacts migrated, but YOUR ROTTEN SERVICE will cause me to have to pay some company (recommended by Verizon, no less) to migrate my contacts. YOUR SERVICE IS DESPICABLE AND UNACCEPTABLE. When you gifted me with the Orbic Journey, everything was taken care of: migration of contacts and all questions. And, that phone is easy to keep clean and was well=built. Feel free to call or email me with questions. Several of my clients tell me to dump Verizon.

Not talk and text only phone

Oooo . 1 month ago

I thought I was ordering a talk and text only phone and specifically asked the store if they had a non-camera phone. This phone has a camera so I am not happy with it. When I called customer service, they asked why I wanted a camera-less phone and this is nobody's business why I want a phone like this.

Good as basic or backup.

Barb L . 2 months ago

It is good as a very basic flip. I adjust to change well but have a bit of trouble with the alphabetical case changing and somehow holding the phone in a way or hitting something that sends texts before they are done. You cannot download or add ringtones in any way. It is not as good as my previous phone which was a dinosaur.

Great Customer Service!!!

Rob M . 2 months ago

I arrived at the Verizon store about 15 minutes before closing time. Rachael Wilson helped me switch into a new phone. Plus updated my plan. Thanks Rachael.
