Total Wireless Alcatel MyFlip 4G Prepaid Flip Phone (Locked) - Black - 4GB - Sim Card Included - CDMA

I ordered this phone for my husband. He is not interested in all the bells and whistles of the expensive Iphones but wanted one he could easily navigate. This phone is very reasonably priced but still has enough features to be pretty modern. He wanted a phone he could work easily and this fit the bill.

Sometimes when people write reviews of flip phones, they compare them to smart phones. Don't do that. You can connect to the internet with this phone, but it's about as slow as dial-up. This phone is for people who want a good 4G LTE connection for making phone calls and sending texts. It will take pictures, about like the old "Instamatic" film cameras. It has a good FM radio built in too! It's also pretty sturdy. I dropped one on a concrete floor. The battery cover came off and the battery fell out, but I snapped it back together and turned it on and it was fine. I did break one once when it was clipped to my belt and I slipped on the ice. I basically landed my entire body weight on the phone, and it damaged the LEDs behind the screen so the screen didn't display images properly anymore. Even then, I COULD STILL MAKE AND RECEIVE PHONE CALLS! I replaced the damaged one with a new one of the same model for just 20 bucks. Try THAT with a smartphone! If you want a smartphone, go elsewhere. If you want an inexpensive, sturdy flip phone that has a few nice extras, this is your phone.

Bought this phone for a friend because he wanted a simple inexpensive phone that he wouldn't be using all that much. This sounded good except for one problem. The phone was defective The touch screen didn't work. I tried rebooting the phone and then took the battery out and put it back in but the touch screen remained unresponsive. Didn't know what else to do so I had no choice but to return it. The phone was cute and has big keys which my friend would have liked but this is what you get when you buy a 20 dollar phone. So anyone looking for a cheap phone don't buy this one.

It is a burner phone, so I wasn't expecting much. There is no touch screen so I gave it one star for that. The hinge seems kind of weak.

Good and simple

I have a friend that finds it difficult to get a government phone because he is a disabled veteran who has a payee. This little phone gives communication to the outside world. This is important. He is very pleased.

The upper left of the package was damaged, torn, wet, and reeked of perfume. The plastic wrapper for mailing was not torn which leads me to believe it was damaged and wet before it went into the plastic for shipping.

I'm still learning how to use this phone because I haven't had time to read the instructions so I'm doing it using common sense. As soon as i can sit down and review instructions, I'm sure all will come clear. Thanks.
