Would often freeze up or reboot itself during long calls, if froze had to remove battery to reboot. Today with a decent charge it just died and won't restart. Was not happy overall with this choice.

Sorry to hear that your phone is freezing. While the exact cause isn't clear, we recommend checking to make sure your phone has the latest software update installed. If the issue continues, please back up your data and contacts, then perform a factory reset. This often resolves unknown problems. We hope this helps! - Kevin.Save yourself

The absolute worst, most frustrating, least helpful, least functional product I have ever had the misfortune of paying money for in my 37 years. Seriously. I disregarded all the warnings and low ratings, thinking that I didn’t need very much from a phone, never having had a smart phone. But I was wrong and I am not even going to go into detail about the myriad ways it both sucks and has been breaking/glitching constantly. (It broke and was replaced under warranty twice, warranty is only a month long) Get absolutely anything else. For the first time, I understand when people write reviews saying things like “if i can prevent one other person from making this mistake, i will have done good in the world.”

i got this phone and made sure it's the right model. (text and call only) sku-tcl4056v. the guy in the store handed me this telling me there was no internet. there is an entire web browser. there is no app to get to it. i'm guessing all they did was remove the app shortcut to get to the browser for the text and call only version of this phone, however they didn't remove the browser or it's functions from the phone at all. you just have to jump through a few extra hoops to get to it. if you receive a website link within a text message, with the conversation closed at the time of receiving it, and then open it, the link appears in bold and underlined. when you click on it, it will open up a legit web browser. sometimes the browser is view only. (not allowing you to search or refresh or look at your own history etc...) but if you click on something that opens a pop up window (like a some full sized pictures), it will open it in a new page/window/tab that DOES allow full browser tools. another way to get to it is to log onto a public wifi. it will automatically open a browser and load the wifi's login page to accept terms and conditions. from there, you can surf the entirety of the internet. they just made it look like there's no internet/ truthfully though, this phone has a fully functional web browser that you'll notice after a while of using it.
clunky to use

Unlike all my previous flip phones, using this TCL is inefficient (have to hit too many buttons to get around) and non-intuitive (not immediately clear what buttons to hit). Battery seems to get used up more quickly, too. Would switch to another brand if it weren't for the $50 Verizon restocking fee.
I hate this phone.

1. Why, when I open it, and go to contacts, does it take 4 seconds before I can begin typing in a contact name? what is it doing all that time? 2. Why, when I open it to check the time, does it show me some random time in big numbers, when it has the correct time up in the corner of the screen in letters too small for me to read? It LIES to me. I HATE liars. 3. Why, when it rings, does it blank out the screen after about the 2nd ring, before I can fish it out of my pocket, so I don't know who's calling? It's important for me to answer important calls, but not answer junk. 4. Why is there no option to silence the stupid "text send" noise? No one in my office likes to hear that dumb chirp. The only redeeming virtue of this phone is that it's built strong enough, that when it gets the best of me and i throw it against the wall, it still works afterwards. Also, all of the T9 functions are in different locations, and work different than my old phone. Why is that necessary?

It does what it needs, and nothing more, but the standard pro version is such an improvement that it leaves this in the dust. This is a basic phone that I disliked having.

constant spam calls every day
TCL Expert - 1 year
Sorry to hear that, but the spam call is related to your phone number. The U.S. Federal Trade Commision do have a website for you to register your number for "Do Not Call" at https://www.donotcall.gov/. You can also block the number by selecting "Options" on the bottom right, selecting "Call information", and then selecting "Block" at the bottom right. Hope this helps. - Kevin.TCL FLIP Pro Voice & Text Only Prepaid undefined
