Customers are satisfied with the MYFLIP A405DL's ease of use, particularly praising its simplicity and suitability for seniors. The phone's price, size, and call quality also receive positive feedback. However, some users reported that the battery life could be improved, and a few experienced issues with reception and texting. Overall, the positive comments on ease of use and affordability outweigh the negative feedback on certain features.

My family has been after me to get a cell phone for when I drive long distances. I finally have given in to their demands and bought this basic and inexpensive cell phone. I only want it to use it for emergencies.

My old Tracfone didn't get service where I live. This one does! GREAT for phone if like me you just want to call and text.
It takes a while to turn on, but when you leave it on, the battery lasts pretty well.
It's pretty big (hard to fit in some pockets), but lightweight. Still smaller than an iPhone.

We contacted Tracfone to replace a 2G phone for my mother-in-law and all they would provide was a smart phone which is completely foreign to an 85 year old. Bought this phone at Best Buy and called Tracfone to change over the serice. All minutes transferred and it is much easier to use.

The phone has a lot of good points. I just have issues with the tracfone policies. I was transferring minutes from 2G phone to a 4G phone due to the 2g being phased out. I lost 7,000 minutes that i had accumulated over the years. I was told that they only saw 2,600 minutes of the 9,700 minutes i had. They said free minutes will not carry over. I had triple minutes on the 2G phone and I guess their records only show the original minutes and not the ones that are added on for free with the triple minute plan. In the past with tracfone I have lost my phone number due to changing phones. Be prepared to lose minutes and maybe lose original phone number. Luckily this time i did not lose phone number. I like tracfone but due to these issues i have had in the past i am cautious when i have to change phones. Other than that i am happy with the phone.

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

I like the size and the clear screen. The volume could be louder and it could have deeper ring tones, since I have hearing aids.

My 5yr old Lg Tracfone will no longer hold charge so it was time to replace,
had to change phone # in order to transfer minutes. Now the software on my monitor in my 2017 toy Tacoma will not recognize this phone and allow it to work properly, but it did accept the 5yr old Lg flip phone, it too inconvenient to answer the phone while driving the old fashioned way & not safe

We had to replace my husband's older TracFone. He likes this one better because the buttons are larger and he can shut it to protect the screen and prevent accidental calls.
