Flip3TCL . 8 days

The phone will show 2 different times of day and 2 different dates... The opened screen shows the correct date and time... The flip closed small screen frezzes on a date and time and doesn't change unless you turn it on and off... Ridiculous

Easy transition

New phone with a major privacy violation

ProtectiveMom26 . 1 month

The device itself is great, but we had a frightening experience when sending a text to our child on this phone and had another person respond to the message because there is some sort of overlap with this device and another customer. It will be TWO WEEKS this Sunday and we have yet to get this resolved. It is a MAJOR privacy violation issue for our child and the other customer that has not been handled well by Verizon. We are still waiting on the text/mail response that was promised within 24-48 hours during our second correspondence with support. That was several days ago. Protected your customers, please.

Insane phones no compatible plans

Easy to use. Good voice and text capability.

Good choice for us

Deb512 . 2 months

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.

Display is great for the person using this new verizon. Speaker much clearer for senior usrrd.

Good small flip phone to fit in pocket.

Easton . 3 months

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 . 3 months

Can you disable the camera or block pictures in text
