I wasn't sure I'd like this phone and I didn't want to spend a lot of money this time, so I went with the TCL Signa. So far, I am very pleased and the phone works great. The only thing I might add to it is a microSD card.

times out constantly...slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....My grandmothers free phone from the government is better than this

TCL/Alcatel Mobile - 4 years

Hi. Thank you for sharing. Your device is running on Android OS, which may have updates available. To save on DATA, connect your phone to the internet via your home WiFi and check for System Updates. When done, go to Google Play Store to check for apps update periodically too. This will keep your phone performing well. Best regards, Kevin

Crashes constantly, Ok for calls and text

Bella . 4 years

Purchased this prepaid phone for kids to use while at sports, events. Phone will make calls and text ok, but when using any other apps it constantly crashes. If your just going to call and text, get a flip phone. If you want to do anything else purchase a different phone.

TCL/Alcatel Mobile - 4 years

Dear Bella, sorry about that. Your phone is running on Google Android Operating System and the apps should be functioning properly. When not, please check your device for any app update in Google Play Store. Simply open the Google Play Store app > go to your profile menu and Manage apps & device > Updates available. Tap to see the available updates. Periodically, the updates from the app developer is made available through the Google Play Store. Updating them will help keep your apps running properly. Be sure to update using your home Wi-Fi internet connection rather than your cellular data service depending on your data plan. For additional question, please feel free to contact TCL support at: 1-855-224-4228 or visit Verizon support online at: https://www.verizon.com/support/alcatel-tcl-signa/.

Wasted $80 for this junk

Disappointed Customer . 4 years

This phone does not come with a hotspot for me to be able to connect my tablet or laptop to the internet via the phone when I'm on the go, and any games I try to play on the phone always crash and kick me out of the app when it starts to load anything in game that would normally just slow another phone down for a second or two. In short it was a total waste of $80 and if I can figure out a way to return not I'm definitely going to do that. I always buy cheap phones less than $100 and this is the worst Verizon phone I have ever had.

TCL/Alcatel Mobile - 4 years

Hello. Let me help. The phone does have hotspot/tethering feature. Simply go to Settings > Network & internet > Tethering & Mobile Hotspot > and then enable Mobile Hotspot. Keep in mind that when you share your internet, you will be using data service. As for apps that crash, check for app update in Google Play Store. - Kevin

Miko . 4 years

Bought this phone new. Will not receive called and sometimes texts. Went to settings and checked everything. Still nothing. Would Not Recommend

TCL/Alcatel Mobile - 4 years

Hello Miko. Thank you for sharing. Please feel free to contact supports at TCL or Verizon for assistance. Here is a few self-check tips. If you are not seeing good signal on the phone status bar, you may not be getting cellular service. Check your surroundings for any interference and move to a different location. This device supports the Verizon 4G LTE and roaming on 3G UMTS or GSM. If 4G LTE service is weak or not available, you may need to connect via Wi-Fi with internet access. Wi-Fi Calling may be enabled or disabled on your phone. The Wi-Fi connection is normally from your home internet provider. The other option is to enable Roaming. It is enabled by default but it can be turned off. Please check your plan on Roaming charge first. This means that your device will connect to other available signal when 4G LTE is not available. Hope this helps. - Kevin

recently picked this up at Walmart for my dad cuz his old phone battery wasn't charging and i'm Happy with the phone so far. It's simple and that is good since so far he hasnt had trouble. Battery lasts a long time and it plays his games. We're happy

Phone is Slow

2 undefined

Balogna . 5 years

Overall - I tested this phone out and for what it is, the phone is slow at everything it does. Even opening up the text message app or phone call app is slow. I would recommend against it. The screen is nice, but the performance holds the phone back.
