Great Flip Phone - Check for software updates
JSmith Posted
I bought the Schok Volt Flip from Best Buy and have been very happy with it. It does exactly what I wanted from a flip phone: clear calls, simple navigation, good signal reception, and all the essential features without the distractions of a smartphone. One thing I want to mention for future buyers is that you should install all available software updates right away. When I first started using the phone, the battery life was just okay, but after running the updates, I noticed a significant improvement. As of my experience, the latest software version is 1.5.3, and it seems to optimize battery performance much better. My advice: Put the battery in, fully charge it, connect to Wi-Fi, check for updates, and let the phone install everything before judging battery life. It made a noticeable difference for me. Overall, this is a solid, reliable flip phone that delivers exactly what it promises.

Exactly what I needed. Just to the following steps
MARIAL Posted
One month ago I purchased this device. The device was perfect, and worked great!! However, I found that battery was not lasting what I was expecting, in order to fix the issue, the device was asking me to update its software. I just clicked download, waited for 10 minutes and the device restarted itself. Now, I have amazing battery time, the calls are clear and crisp, the display is super bright, and it's exactly what I was expecting from a flip phone. I strongly recommend this device if you want to be free from social media, notifications, and have a solid communication device. Good job.

Trash
VivianaM Posted
Absolute trash and fustrating, the person who sold me this should be fired they said it’s a unlock phone so this phone could be activated also with a Mexico SIM card and he lied!!! I went and asked that my grandfather was in town visiting and his phone was damaged and I he really wanted a new phone I bought him this one brought it home to activate it and we were never able to Install it receive calls or anything The look on my grandfather face was so disappointed he left to his flight without a phone we were not able to return it on time before his flight, worst experience ever from the customer service and now it’s to late to return the phone

Poor battery life

I was expecting much better battery life, but unfortunately, the battery does not last as long as I expected. I’m disappointed with the performance and would not recommend this product.

Do NOT buy Schok. Defective + Bad customer service
WILLIAM Posted
Brand new Schok phone was defective. Would only start up intermittently. Even when it did the new battery would only last a few hours. Schok customer service was extremely unpleasant. Returned and bought Alcatel brand and it's SO much better quality for the same price.

It wouldn't work on the network as advertised
BRIANS Posted
It wouldn't work on the network as advertised. Best Buy made us pay a $45 restocking fee, about half the phone's cost. They should remove this item from their website and refund all customers' fees because of false advertising.
