Alcatel - MYFLIP A405DL - Gray

This Tracfone phone was a gift for my elderly mom. She is not a techie person and just wanted to make phone calls. Once she was trained to use the phone (remember not techie) she finally had the freedom and safety to have her own phone anytime anywhere. That was a great feeling for her. She really likes it!

Only complaint is the display screen does not show minutes and days remaining on current TracFone contract like my LG 440G TracFone Cellular Phone Prepaid Flip Cell does on my other line.

Great phone for use like phone , mp3 , FM radio, etc, etc.

Purchased this phone for my youngest son as his 1st phone, and it does the trick. He's pretty rough with handheld electronics, so I did not want to buy something too expensive, and that he'd break pretty quick. Even though it is a flip phone, it still provides for some of the basic sets of functionality a communication device needs. The numbers are large and easy to see, no real need for a case to protect the screen since it is a flip, and the interface is simple but intuitive. If he can make it last at least 12 months, we got our money's worth out of the device. The TracFone service plan is where the bulk of the money went... c'mon TracFone, make your prices a little more respectable for the service you offer. This is NOT a "triple or double for life" phone... straight up basic pre-paid phone plans.

I am liking this phone more than I thought I would. I had a smart phone that suddenly decided to hang up on an OS update right before a trip. I bought this phone to have something to use. Now that I have it, I appreciate the simplicity of a phone that just acts like a phone. I bought it with the TracFone 60 minute 90 day card. I was pleased to find that it actually gave me 180 minutes and 180 Mb of data. Some of the TracFone phones do the 3x deal. I'm glad this one did. It makes it affordable enough to use as a regular phone. I almost bought a TracFone smart phone because they offer 500 minutes and 500 Mb for 30 days at a cost of $15 (versus $20 for the 60 minutes of this phone). If I keep getting 180 minutes with each refill, I will be very happy. Otherwise, it is a nice emergency phone, but not much more. I did have a little trouble navigating the initial set-up because the instructions that come with the phone lack even basic details, like how to switch case when entering a Wi-Fi password. However, the tech support was fairly helpful.

I don't use a cell phone much, so this inexpensive flip phone was just what I needed. If I had one thing to complain about, it's the button on the side that puts the phone in camera mode. It's too easy to accidentally hit the button while using the phone and suddenly have the phone screen displaying everything the camera lens sees. Fortunately pressing the 'back' button twice quickly exits the camera mode. The sound quality is quite good when using the phone. The buttons on the phone large and easy to use. The documentation that comes with the phone could be better as finding out how to add contacts in the phone is a bit tricky to figure out. All in all it's a good price for someone who needs a cell phone for emergency use only. Paired with Tracfone 60 minutes for 90 days for about $20, it's quite a good deal.

Reliable cheap phone that works as stated. Nothing fancy. Not intended for heavy web browsing and not a smart phone. A basic, simple, flip phone best for older individuals

Got this phone due to its simplicity. Great for an older person who needs a phone in case of an emergency. So far no complaints. Pay as you go is a great option.
