Phone didn't work
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought phone, took home, set up contacts (took hours) then discovered the phone wouldn't call out, Didn't work! Message I got said it was snag "at point of purchase" (Best Buy), so took back. Clerk couldn't get the problem solved, so gave refund on phone, but not on 'AT&T $35.00 phone card', sent me to AT&T. They too refused to return my money, so turned over the problem over to Credit card company.

Just OK
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had continual issues with this phone. It randomly won't dial out or the buttons suddenly don't work and now it hangs up on all outgoing calls. The volume is not very loud.

Not as easy to use as hoped for my 84 Year old Dad
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as easy to use as hoped for my 84 Year old Dad. Also, told the store employee what I was needing it to do and it doesn't seem to have that capability. Disappointed.

A piece of junk !!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this phone to replace one that I lost. I needed one in a hurry, so I ordered it on line and picked it up. The phone never worked and because I tore the packaging and the drama from the "COVID" issue, it could not be returned . I simply threw it in the trash and wasted my $39.99 plus tax...

Best option for those tired of smartphones
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In 2018, I decided to ditch using a smartphone after over a decade using an iPhone. They have become too expensive, too distracting, and too intrusive, as they are used to gather very detailed information on us all. I tried several options, but finally narrowed it down to this device and the Light Phone II, which I also purchased. The light phone is more than 11 times more expensive, has far less features, and is not as reliable. This phone excels at phone calls, both placing and receiving. Call quality is very good. Texting would be better were it to offer a qwerty keyboard or a larger grid with, say, a 5X5 keypad with keys for each letter except combining X and Z. That said, Predictive texting has worked very well for me. The main drawback on texting is the lack of group texting. If everyone in the group uses WhatsApp, that solves the issue, but not everyone uses WhatsApp. Other than that, while it allows setting ringtones for individual Contacts, it does not appear to allow muting (including turning off vibration) for calls from numbers not in Contacts, which is very useful in avoiding distracting robocalls and other spam calls. Beyond that, I wish it had a few more apps, but those may come with updates. A podcast app would be nice, though I have managed to listen to podcasts through the web browser and then pinning the episode page on the app menu screen. Having apps such as Spotify, Audible, Libby, and LibriVox, to listen to streamed music and audio books would be great. Finally, better instructions would be helpful, though the full manual is available online, findable by searching for "Alcaltel Smartflip manual". If the phone had group texting available in its native Message app, I would give it five stars.
