Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the Alcatel Ideal 4G LTE's affordability and ease of use as significant advantages. Positive feedback also highlights its battery life, performance for the price, and screen size. However, some users express concerns regarding the camera quality and limited storage capacity. The lack of a flash on the camera is another frequently cited drawback.

    We bought this phone to introduce an older neighbor to smartphones, and she loves it. It has helped her gain an understanding of basic smartphone functions and capabilities with the help of easy to use launchers from the play store.

    Broke my more expensive smart phone and didn't want another expensive phone so i purchased this and put my sim card from my old phone into this one. Does exactly what I need it to and no issues otherwise. Good for the price!

    This is decent for folks who don’t use their phone very often. The battery gets hot wicked easy. It doesn’t receive most calls or texts. Battery dies quickly and doesn’t keep a charge for more than a few hours. Good luck. These issues could be a manufacturer defect - though, I wouldn’t know.

    At $15 on sale you can't go wrong.I don't want to say "you get what you pay for" because you really are getting more than that. It's a great phone to give to a grandparent or someone who has ATT but doesn't have a smartphone. Just make sure to disable all the bloatware apps.

    The battery dies within 2 days of no usage with background usage ristrict although overall the quality of the screen itself and the pixels for movies and camera is great. The camera is not bad for a beginner and the phone is easily operatorable for other generation's.

    This phone works well, picks up signal better than my last galaxy. Storage is limited and screen has no high definition. I knew this before I bought it is great for my daughter's first phone

    I would highly recommend this phone to anyone on a budget. While this phone does not sport a huge screen it does, however have great specs built into such a small phone. The screen isn't as bright as I would have hoped, that is why I am rating it 4 out of 5 stars.

    A normal phone with mediocre performance. It serves as a backup phone or for another sim. I bought it for very less price during black Friday sale. It definitely is worth the value for the price I paid.

    Decent basic Android phone..., good for starter or something for the kid. Was quite a bang for the buck over Black Friday, definitely worth more than the $10 it was during that sale.

    For $20 can't complain much but there is microphone issue with this phone when holding at certain angle, voice gets muted and person on other end seem to get a feeling call has ended. Basic android phone which can be used as backup.

    A smart phone for $10?!?! AT&T makes it easy to unlock. Although its camera isn't the best, this phone packs a pretty conservative punch. Not a bad price for a backup phone.

    Inadequate speaker volume for calls. Very little memory and AT&T bloatware takes up too much space. Slow. In general, it's a phone that works in a pinch but it sucks long term.

    At&t Gophone is really nice phonewith 16Gb memory in it... problem is when you click on phone book it tries to pull something from AT&T address book before it displays contact.
