I appreciate the energy you bring to your videos. And the fact that you acknowledge that flip phones aren't always for seniors. (you don't spend the video dogging out "dump phones" and how little they do in comparison to smartphones). Thanks for understanding that it's a flip phone and keeping expectations at that level.
This phone would be great for seniors who just want a basic phone to keep around the house in case of an emergency arises. For most common folks, simple is good enough. Thank you so much for sharing the details of this phone.
They bring so many phones out and not expensive i remember my Samsung flip phone back in 2000's E720 cost me a fortune :) so good to see alcatel bringing qaulity cheap phones out :)
wow.....a instruction book!!!!! LOVE the battery is replaceable. will the browser ''google sync? would like to find someone to go to browser...google I guess, will it do a wireless hotspot❓
I need to replace my nokia flip because t-mobile will shut down the 3g network soon. It's great that some companies still think in consumers. The phone is a little big compared to my Nokia, but has a huge keyboard and a lot of functionalities. It's a good alternative. Thank you for the review!
I just ordered this phone. it does have a hotspot.. I use my laptop for other purposes.. I just dont want a q.r code capable phone. Im just like not into being tracked.
After a little over a year of use, my phone is going bad. The screen messes up. Sometimes, it gets pixelated, sometimes it goes white. Sometimes it goes black, and I have to restart the phone. And other times, the main display cover changes to different colors and gets blurry and the icons get enlarged. And sometimes, the phone works normally but no longer consistently. And my camera doesn't work anymore (the first sign that the phone was going bad). Any tips on how I can fix my Alcatel Go Flip 4?
Is there a way to disable the app store? I am looking for a flip phone for my son. He currently has an iPhone 13 but he keeps playing games during school hours and the teachers have been complaining about him. I have thought of a flip phone as a solution but I don't want one where he can still get access to video games at all. I like this one because of wifi calling and some other features, such as Bluetooth but I dislike the fact that it has games and an app store. Thanks.
I have antivirus installed on my current smartphone; do you need to install antivirus software on a flip phone being sold today? I wish the phone was offered in another color besides Henry Ford 1932 black. My second flip phone in 2005; a Samsung device was a nice silver and navy blue trim device. You don't see flip phones today in colors like that; nothing but flat black.
I can't view MMS messages when I receive them on my Alcatel Go Flip 4 phone, when I try to download the MMS the download fails. I checked the MMS auto retrieve settings (ON), and I'm on a T-Mobile pay-as-you-go $10 a month (1GB data plan (use very little of that)). Anyone know what could be the problem?
Thank you a million times over. With this and my 10 yr old granddaughter, we managed to walk through the phone set up easily. Three (3) this to add: 1.) How does one find the info of phone aka phone number and specs of phone? We are not finding it in the settings,thing that would be helpful is going through how to set up email, as I am getting a notices stating my password is incorrect, although it allows one to see the PW typed in and it is correct, and I further logged into email thru my computer and IPAD, both, and was accepted. I think seriously it has to do with not setting up google. I only use Brave browser. As I do not see a way access that internet browser, I guess that it’s my problem and I am out of luck? 3.) How does one make calls out without first inserting phone numbers into phone?
Can you PLEASE help me with this phone? Neither the people at T-mobile or the people at Alcatel could answer what seems to be a simple question. I'm currently using an LG flip phone but have to upgrade to 4G. With my current phone, I can be on a call, using either my bluetooth headset or having the speaker turned on, and read and send text messages while on a call. Do you know if this phone is capable of that? Thank you SO MUCH!
It makes complete sense that the employees at T-Mobile don't have the answer for you. They receive as much training on how to use that phone as you do. Now the folks at Alcatel? Wonder what is their excuse 🤔
I had a 'regulation' big screen Android - hated it [always butt dialing] and gave it to a friend. Took the SIM card out and put it back in my old flip phone. Was forced to upgrade 'flips' - T-Mobile dumping 3G service. I bought one of these in 4G. Now I have to figure out how to hook it up to my PC for file transfer - PC won't recognize it. If anyone has any tips - I'm all ears. I think it has to do with installing drivers on the PC.
Take a look at the Sonim XP3 plus, Kyocera DuraXV Extreme or Dura XE Epic and the Cat S22 Flip all extremely durable. They all run android Go 11 except the Sonim XP3 plus it runs android non google close to ASOP. They are elite durible flips. Alcatel is decent but can you please consider reviewing durable flips KaiOS 3.0 isn't ready yet though as much as I would like it to be.
Anyone know how to get balance without going to internet or painfully texting balance to 611611 and/or to display it on screen? Also to add minutes? Thanks👍

Great job sir. My cousin just got this phone and needed assistance with the operation. I sent her this video.

Nice to see it uses type C cable to charge.
I know, right? I was so happy lol.
Thank you for the great review! Can you tell me if there is a flash light? Thank you 😊
Well this one is almost a smartphone 🙂
I remember digging the Go Flip 3
Is the TCL flip 4 the same thing?
really good walkthrough, my senior dad will be using this phone and this was helpful

I like that you can see the clock and messages from the outside screen. Way better than the huge bricks...all of them...over it....
How do you change the time on the phone
You truly are great. Made it very easy . I still have a question. My son turned the SILENT mode, how do we turn it to Not Silent mode?
Where could you get this unlocked?
Can you screen mirror it
Jay I am currently on At&t can I get this unlocked?
thank you so much. i am going to buy it because of the convincing video!
That's the exact phone I want & I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE! Please, how did you get it?
Hi!, sorry for my bad English but, can you change the wallpaper of the outer screen?
I don't think so, but I'll have to verify it for you.
@@smartphoneconversations thanks!!
Yes, you can change it there are several offered inside the phone.
I just ordered this phone. it does have a hotspot.. I use my laptop for other purposes.. I just dont want a q.r code capable phone. Im just like not into being tracked.
I remember the days I had to pay $300+ for a phone like that, they where top of the line
Love it. I'm getting one. Love the video 😊

Just how do you activate it!!! Mines keep saying phone number unknown
Disappointing that this version of KaiOS does not have WhatsApp. Great video
Excellent video my friend. Really enjoyed it. This would be my back up phone I think.

How to fix incoming calls going straight to voicemail
Voice text?
Very nice job. Thanks
Does this support Spotify?
For a flip phone, I don't think so

It's in settings device I think but for easy access I added the phone info as a contact 👍
