Even with Macular Degeneration My 88 y/o Mother Can Use This Phone

Reikibear . 5 days ago

Great basic phone for my mom. She can't see well enough to tell when an iphone or an android needs her to slide something on the screen or tap or where to tap to get it to answer calls any longer. This phone is no easier for her to see but she can open it when it's ringing to make it answer the incoming call and close the flip phone to hang up when she's done talking or if she gets a telemarketer. The #1 key is preset to speeddial voicemail, but #s 2 - 9 were easy to preset to family and friends. So, even if she can't remember who the presets are, if she needs someone, she can simply open the phone, feel around the buttons on the keypad and press and hold one to automatically dial one of us.

Hello! Please let us know how we can assist you. The Flip 3 is a basic phone designed for calls and text messaging only. If you need internet access for apps like YouTube or Google Maps, we recommend checking out the Flip 3 Postpaid version, which offers those additional features and more. - Kevin.

NEw basic flip phone

Blanch . 1 month ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I had a Nokia which I liked. However do to an adventurous dalmatian it had to be replaced. The local corporate store no longer had the nokia basic. The agent brought out the TCL. I actually like it, seems to be a bit heavier than the Nokia & the keypad slightly larger. So all is good. The agent helped to activate at the store.

TCL/Alcatel Mobile - 1 month ago

We're glad to hear you're enjoying the TCL! Sometimes an unexpected change works out for the better. The slightly larger keypad and added weight can definitely enhance comfort and usability. To get the most out of your day, be sure to keep your phone charged overnight. This version is Voice & Text only, but when you're ready, consider the postpaid version, which includes additional apps like Google Maps, YouTube, and more from the KaiOS Store. It's great to hear the agent was helpful in getting you set up smoothly! We appreciate your feedback—let us know if you have any questions. - Kevin.

Brought this phone from a Verizon store. I was honestly embarrassed to ask about the phone but basically the customer service representative did not have much to say. I brought it home and can’t get it working after Christmas. Simple yes! No.
