Changes And Upgrades
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This Review Is Directed To Tracfone: This Phone was purchased to replace the old Tracfone Flip (3G) for my 62 yo brother who does not do technology at-all and he likes the basic simple flip phone. First, there are always changes and "upgrades" to a new model--this one when turning off the phone gives you "Lock" and "Memory Cleaner" in addition to the standard Power-off and Restart. In my opinion these are un-necessary and will confuse someone like my brother who has a slight mental impairment. Second for Voicemail the old Phone gave you the option to bypass the 4-Digit Pin to access voicemail, this new phone does not so you have to enter the pin every single time for voice mail, that is a bummer! Finally, the older Tracfones that first came out several years ago the remaining balance was automatically displayed after each call, that has been removed in recent years. I myself have a AT&T Prepaid phone and it displays the balance after each call or text so I know that it can be done but Tracfone for some reason has removed that. I hope Tracfone People will read this review but for changing any of the above I know that will not happen, at least I have told them.

Mrs. Marilyn Fay Lowe
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I personally believe that Tracfone has presented a Tracfone in a rush to change over that is incompatible with the older generation to become acquainted with and use as well as the LG Tracfone previously used. It was almost impossible to get a call thru to change over and public was not given enough notice or sufficient staff to change coverage to the new phone. I was personally transferred to another person over a dozen times and while waiting for an answer the phone went dead and no answer. I am highly disappointed in it but will lose a large amount of time already paid for if I do not continue to use the new one I have purchased.

Not As Good as a Real Flip Phone
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Verizon stopped supporting my old flip phone which worked just fine. This was the only flip phone I could find. But it is not really a flip phone. It is a crippled smart phone. Why does this matter? Because it takes FOREVER to start up when you power it up. I only use it on rare occasions. But when I need it, I need it NOW. It also means that functions are "soft" meaning you have to dig through layers of menus. Instead of just pressing a button to go where you want to go. As it would be on a real flip phone. It is also bigger than a real flip phone. I do not need a camera or web browsing. If I wanted those things I would get a smart phone. Adding those things makes it bigger and harder to use. But I am pleased to be out of the evil grip of Verizon. Tracfone offers the same service through the Verizon network. But at a fraction of the price. And their customer service is actually slightly better than with Verizon.

do not buy
||Posted .this was purchased as a gift for my mother. she has always had a simple flip phone, and needed a new one because the 3g networks are fading out. it is nearly impossible to find a flip phone w/o a monthly pre-paid card option. ebst buy didin't carry in the retail store, so i ordered online thru bestbuy, tracfone still offers a $20 prepaid card with 60 minutes valid for 90 days. great, for her needs. emergency use only. but, it is impossible to activate. it didn't give the option when i powered it on. reading the box, there was print stating it needed to be activated by a cashier. so, off to the best buy store we went. the bb customer support rep was great. he explained they don't activate phones. at one time, they were able to connect to activate the tracfones, but cannot anymore. so my question was 'so, why do y'all sell them?' he giggled a little, with visible frustration, and said he didn't know. i get it, it's not his fault. he was professional and very courteous with working out my refund. sadly, this phone would have been perfect for my mother. she is 81 years old and doesn't need a fancy phone with an expensive monthly plan.

Perfect Basic Filp Phone
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Got this as a replacement for my husband's phone that was being retired. He wanted a flip phone and for what he uses it for (phone and occasional picture) it works just fine. Easy for him to use, buttons are large and battery seems to last quite a while.

Alcatel TracFone
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This phone does what I want it to do: I can make phone calls when I'm away from home, and take photos if I'm in a store and want to do some comparison shopping. I avoid texting and using the internet when I'm out and about, and I have a camera to take photos that I want to edit, possibly enlarge, and keep, so I can't evaluate this phone for those features. The really big advantages that this phone has over a smart phone are that it's small enough to fit comfortably in my hand, and it's lightweight enough that I don't resent schlepping it. Still, my old Alcatel TracFone was smaller, lighter, and simpler to use, and I miss it. But this new one works, and that one no longer does. As far as I can tell, the battery lasts a decent length of time. But I try not to press the issue.

So far, so good
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.We needed to find a new flip phone for my mother after 3G ended and Tracfone customer service was of no help. Found this phone advertised at a good price and was able to go to Best Buy and have it activated and have minutes added. So far it seems to be working good.

It's a basic flip phone
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This phone does exactly what I need it to do. Of course it's simply use you know basic features incoming and outgoing phone calls and if you need to text messaging its there. The only thing I don't like about TracFone and it's not the phone itself it's the fact that I bought the $20 minutes when I bought the phone and I've only made like four phone calls and it's telling me I need to refill already so I don't like that the minutes don't roll over a month to month
