    Price was good, was in stock and overall not a bad phone once you get it all setup to your liking. Got this for my fiancee who it serves her needs perfectly. She facebooks, emails, texts, youtube etc. No issues again for price point can't go wrong.

    Very nice inexpensive phone and easy to set up

    The TCL A3 was a good buy. The setup was easy and it works very well. For an inexpensive phone it has a lot of nice features. There is a manual online on the tracFone web site, and also a tutorial you can use if you need to. The phone is very lightweight and the screen is very clear.

    Using as a work phone so as not to use my personal number. My main problem with it is just answering a call as the view screen on an incoming call didn’t pop forward to select the answer button.

    Needs better instructions

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I upgraded from a basic flip phone due to the 5G network requirements. It is more than I need but I was willing to make the transition even though I am very text compromised. It works all right for the little I need but if the manual was more detailed, I would be using it easier and better. Trial and error and best buy staff have helped but it is slow going. I would only recommend this phone to those who have some tech capability.

    Unfortunately a tracfone is locked to one of three networks. The phone i bought runs on the verizon network and i have almost no verizon signal at my house. Tried to switch phone to run on at&t network but phone is locked to verizon for 2 months. So this phone is worthless to me.

    When I went to transfer my phone number/minutes from Tracfone, I found out Tracfone no longer has coverage in my area. I wish I would of known this before I brought the phone.
