Alcatel Go Flip 4GB 4044W Blue - T-Mobile (Renewed)

Purchased this small flip phone for my elderly mother. The phone was easy to setup. Just installed the Mint SIM card and phone worked without any issues. After a few lessons, my mother felt comfortable enough to use the phone on her own. The calls sound loud and clear. The refurbished phone may not have a lot of features but is inexpensive and very user friendly. The battery life is adequate, compatible with the service provider (Mint) and appears to be well made. The phone looks brand new and worth every cent. My mom and I are very happy with the phone and performance.

Wonderful basic flip phone, especially for people who do not want a smart phone. Lots of great features. Big screen and buttons. Decent camera. 4GB of storage, which is excellent for this size phone. Can access email and the internet. However, you cannot download any apps. Extremely easy to set up and use. No problems getting it hooked up through our T-Mobile account. My dad is very averse to technology, but he needs a cell phone. He has absolutely no interest in any kind of smart phone. It's getting harder and harder to find decent feature phones. Most on the market are either cheap pieces of crap or can only be used through a specific carrier. But this one is great. It has every feature he needs, but the user interface is clean and simple. Even my dad was able to learn it quickly. This phone DOES NOT come with a new SIM card. Since my dad's old phone had a different size SIM card in it, we did have to take it into T-Mobile to have his phone number placed on a new SIM card that would fit this phone. However, that only took about 10 minute and T-Mobile did not charge for the new, smaller SIM. If your old SIM card does fit in this phone, you just pop it in and go! Uses a micro-USB charger. Holds its charge quite well.

This phone is not unlocked and does not work with all carriers as advertised . Buyer beware! Rendered useless! Tried to call technical support and was caught in an endless loop! Have never had a problem putting sim card in and having it work. Needs some type of unlock NCK code .... very bad experience. Bought in October as a back up phone for elderly person. Not even worth the one star given.

Bought this for my elderly father in October, it worked fine, was in like new condition, no problem connecting to the T-Mobile network. It's April now and the hinge broke on one side then next day the whole thing came apart. Never dropped, never abused. It should last longer than 6 months.

Whatever MVNO/Carrier you go with, make sure it handles TMobile 4g LTE, this will not work with GSMA cards from Red Pocket, only the GSMT cards from Red Pocket. Phone is easy to use, I've had it powered on for the last 12 hours and the battery has only dropped 7% just sitting there. Got this phone for my elderly aunt and this should be a perfect fit for her. Speakerphone isn't as loud as i'd want it but it will do. OS is snappy enough. Haven't tested the Wifi hotspot feature. Phone arrived with the peel plastic on the device, not a scratch on it.

I bought this phone refurbished 5 months ago. The phone does have some glitches, but it does have great features. 1.) the contacts app has a glitch that if you press to select the search, it will randomly start you somewhere in the contacts list. 2.) sometimes the phone doesn't ring but sends caller to the voicemail 3.) lastly the phone will just power off... not often but random, and sometimes you don't even know it's off The Good 1.) lightweight and compact 2.) 4G LTE 3.) can create a 4G speed wifi hot-spot or tether, and they work perfectly! 4.) music player, and radio player (with headphone as antenna) 5.) Bluetooth works 6.) speed dial (just like the good old days) 7.) not Google This phone is my daily driver because of the reception, clarity, and simplicity. I definitely recommend this phone for anyone trying to get away from the distractions of smart phones, but still need to create a hot-spot for those times you need to re-connect.

Everything works great! The only issue I have is that the volume could be louder.

Great looking phone, this is a second phone for me so I don't use it that much but it looks good cosmetic wise
