I bought this phone for my mother-in-law in a nursing home. The clarity is better for her than her last one, but I wish the buttons were a little larger & better described for an elderly person, since they’re more likely to buy a flip phone of this type.

Good small flip phone to fit in pocket.

Easton . 1 month ago

It works well. My previous phone had low volume. This one can be set to loudly ring and talk. Easy to use. May complaint is that at the store they could not run my contacts over to my new phone, so I had to enter them all by hand…….

Keep Flip phone simple

D C old guy . 1 month ago

The Flip 3 Voice and Text only works Great!

MA31 . 1 month ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

This is a basic phone,it's.Easy to navigate through the menu and it has more features than I will use. It has a solid feel to it and can easily fit into your jacket pocket and not feel bulky. The sound of incoming calls is really good and clear.The keyboard numbers are easy to read,and so is the screen. This phone to me seems to charge really quick compared to my older phone. I would buy this phone again without hesitation I love it!

Great phone for anyone who doesn’t want a smartphone

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

This is a great phone for my two grandchildren to share! I didn’t want to get them a smartphone; I’d like to delay that for as long as possible!The only downside is no voicemail. Other than that this phone is just what they need to communicate with me and their friends.

This is genuinely cheap

Bobbi . 1 month ago

According to the associate, this TCL was the only flip phone available, no Kyoceras, next up was a hyper-expensive Samsung. It turned out to be trash, made weird grinding noises, my husband hated it by day two. And guess what? Kyocera are readily available, no problem, bought one (from Verizon, could have been Amazon), took it to the store for set-up, my husband is happy, and the trash phone is going back.
