Good Cheap phone on a budget . I’m using as a spare. You get 3 x the minutes . So worth it . I think I got the last one on clearance!!! Lucky me. No longer on line. Battery is adequate. No complaints. Sound is nice n clear n much improved from oldest flip phones .

Had a flip feature phone 2 decades ago. This new model brigs almost nothing new. I can appreciate basic functionality but it's essentially the same UI as was used back then. And despite it's simplicity it's still sluggish. Buttons are large and backlit with good tactile feedback. Ext speaker is fine and Vol can go quite loud. For calls and ONLY calls it'll be fine but to even read a text is requires too much navigation and clicks. Includes *Apps** (which are mostly just internet shortcuts) would be be unusable on a screen this small making them redundant, and frustrating to use without touch support. Couldn't figure out if even possible to remove the bloatware. Also advertised as having GPS which is false. Only has geolocation which is only useful for a gross approximation. Pictures are 1600x1200 (High Quality, HAHA) and video maxes out at 480p. Quality is passable though maxes out at a whopping 7 FPS. Ext mic will only register if there's yelling, and if not shooting landscape it may end up upside-down depending on how you're holding it. Doesn't even have a torch feature (flashlight). If it wasn't free I'd return it. As it is the only thing of value is the charger and might salvage the battery. Phone itself is going right in the e-waste bin.

I was one of those who had to replace their old 3G phone and picked the TracFone - Alcatel MyFlip 2 4GB - Prepaid phone. Why you ask, well, my previous phone was from TracFone and I still had approx. 1200 minutes on it. This phone is a good replacement and has the added benefit of connecting via Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi feature does use up the battery life faster. The manual, if you can call it that leaves a lot to the imagination! I do suggest one gets a TracFone account to check their remaining "minutes" and "days of service". I at first thought that this phone did not have the "speaker phone" option as there is no actual "key" on the keypad like my old LG. But, after making a call I did notice that the speaking phone symbol did show up on the screen to be selected. I like these type of phones (flip) because they do the job I need them to do (emergency use and an occasional phone call) and are very cost effective!! BestBuy had the phone when I needed it but I would have preferred the LG Classic but it was out of stock. If you are looking for a nice, small and cost effective phone, this one works.

This Review Is Directed To Tracfone: This Phone was purchased to replace the old Tracfone Flip (3G) for my 62 yo brother who does not do technology at-all and he likes the basic simple flip phone. First, there are always changes and "upgrades" to a new model--this one when turning off the phone gives you "Lock" and "Memory Cleaner" in addition to the standard Power-off and Restart. In my opinion these are un-necessary and will confuse someone like my brother who has a slight mental impairment. Second for Voicemail the old Phone gave you the option to bypass the 4-Digit Pin to access voicemail, this new phone does not so you have to enter the pin every single time for voice mail, that is a bummer! Finally, the older Tracfones that first came out several years ago the remaining balance was automatically displayed after each call, that has been removed in recent years. I myself have a AT&T Prepaid phone and it displays the balance after each call or text so I know that it can be done but Tracfone for some reason has removed that. I hope Tracfone People will read this review but for changing any of the above I know that will not happen, at least I have told them.

This phone does what I want it to do: I can make phone calls when I'm away from home, and take photos if I'm in a store and want to do some comparison shopping. I avoid texting and using the internet when I'm out and about, and I have a camera to take photos that I want to edit, possibly enlarge, and keep, so I can't evaluate this phone for those features. The really big advantages that this phone has over a smart phone are that it's small enough to fit comfortably in my hand, and it's lightweight enough that I don't resent schlepping it. Still, my old Alcatel TracFone was smaller, lighter, and simpler to use, and I miss it. But this new one works, and that one no longer does. As far as I can tell, the battery lasts a decent length of time. But I try not to press the issue.
