Speaker phone turns on and off by pushing OK button when call is connecting. Hope this helps some folks out there.Just got mine,had a samsung for 10 years still was working with same battery that came in it. But the 3g thing made me upgrade. I'm just an old fart and don't need or want to carry a computer around. If i do social media ? in a chair in my room, not behind the wheel of a car ,or walking not looking where I'm headed.

How do you fix the problem of this phone showing 8/8 volume and you can not hear it ring? You can only hear it ring when it shows 15/15? But it does not always show 15/15? please help
No Kidding!! I am struggling to figure out the process for adding contacts. I know I saw the screen to add new ones at some point, but damned if I can find it again. I downloaded the users manual and it leaves a lot to be desired. Not enough detail but it's better than nothing. I've been working to understand this phone for a week. It's very frustrating.
Thanks soooooo much for your video. I recently [less than two months ago] purchased one of these phones and had no idea of the many capabilities it has. I only use the phone for emergencies / when I'm out shopping. I have learned a lot, from your video. I have so many features that I had no idea that I had. While viewing your video, my eyes and ears went: "My phone can do all of that!!!" LOL. Many thanks.

I got one of those for around $20.00 at Walmart 2 weeks ago. I enjoyed it until it went dead suddenly. I was helping a buddy launch a boat, which was hard work. The phone was in my right trouser pocket. I didn't get wet, and to my knowledge I didn't bump the phone on anything. After we had finished the launch I took the phone out to make a call. The screen was on brightly, but there were no images, and the phone wouldn't make a call. I wound up pulling the SIM and putting it in a LG phone, which works the way it should.
My dad just got this phone and it seems impossible to add more than one contact to it. It only allows you to edit an already added contact. There seems to be no way to add more than one contact. Also tried to transfer contacts from old flip phone to this one and it did not work.
I have a customer whose flip go keeps booting in safe mode I can't figure out why only does it for her I watched her do the same exact steps as me but when she tries to turn it off it asks to boot in safe mode
my mom uses the same exact phone hers had cool-pad branding TCL makes it for cool-pad . I've tried getting her to use a regular smartphone actually gave her my pixel 3xl she just can't get used to the touchpad for making calls .so she uses the Pixel 3xl to watch RUclips & play her slot machine games at home she just wants a simple flip phone for on the go..
Is there a way to permanently disable predictive text? I’m not that slow with the typing format and the predictive text really gives me an aneurysm. When putting in contacts you have to continually switch off of predictive to Abc
Yes, it's the lowest key on the right hand side has abc and 123 on it. He did the review without really reading the manual or anything I guess. (or really looking at the buttons very hard) Even though it's probably too late for you I figured I would answer as anyone else looking into this phone might be freaked out by the idea that they can't switch text modes when they can.
Looking at picking this phone up today. My Galaxy S9 is just providing too much distraction and not enough benefits. I like this phone because it has 4g for emails, huge battery, type C and it offers hotspot hosting if Verizon's website is correct....so in an emergency or planned event I could host a hotspot to my S9 for Maps or something more heavy duty. The S9 will become a dedicated recording device for my channel. I'm just not sure if I can hotswap my sim card from S9 to Dumb phone? It looks like most of them come with prepaid sim which Idk if I can mirror my number to 2 sims. I'm hoping the Verizon tech in store is familiar with the process
Refuses to set up my yahoo mail account. Keeps telling me my address or password is incorrect, BUT BOTH ARE CORRECT. Have tried numerous times with same result. Doesn't make any sense. Such a simple process, no need for so much aggravation.
I bought one off of amazon and it said unlocked but it was locked by Verizon I wanted to pay for the phone with a different service and it said it cost money
@@gabriellefulbright I just found out about that so I will show my Mom but I am having the same situation. My mother is failing cognitively and just wants me to get her old flip phone back (not possible) because she had speed dial. SO would like to know if speed dial is possible. I don't even know how it was set up in her old phone as she did it herself.
I tried to go back to a flip phone last year. After a month, I gave up. It was a Nokia. It isn't a bad phone. A huge improvement over flip phones from the old days. I couldn't upload videos to RUclips and Facebook. Also the GPS isn't great. And typing. It took awhile to get used to typing on a flip phone.
My wife just got this phone and I have to say that the user interface is the worst I've ever seen. My first flip phone from over 20 years ago had a far, far better user interface than this. I recommend that you get something other than this phone.
Thanks for the review. I no longer have a land line or want to pay for one either. I want a cheap simple phone to keep at home JUST IN CASE. This fits the bill perfectly. Example would be the day I made this post I left my primary phone at work. This happens once in a wile. My GF is at work and I now have no way to communicate via talking. I am a PC guy so I can get out electronically but would love a cheap phone to have at home.
VERY DISAPPOINTED! .. 2 days after purchasing this very TCL Flip it the screen froze up. I panicked constantly pushing the RED END BUTTON and nothing. I constantly repeated opening it to try unfreezing it and the cell then began heating hot. After close to 30 minutes time it finally shut off on it's on. I GUESS PURCHASING A FLIP PHONE WASN'T A GOOD IDEAL. I'm returning it.
it is trash, I have this phone right now. I bent my iphone6 in half in a fit of rage. the battery started to smoke and got really hot. this new phone has a fm radio that only works if u have a ear phone plugged in but will play the fm radio on the speaker if u have the ear phone jack plugged in. the camera quality sux and texting is able but it is difficult. I do not want a smart phone but this phone sux.
I just purchased mine 2 days ago and the screen froze up and it began heating up hot. I kept pushing trying to end the open screen and it stayed froze close to 30 minutes before shutting down on it's own. VERY DISAPPOINTED and hoping I can get my cash back because I now notice that my receipt says it was paid for by a credit card number when I paid cash. He kept saying he couldn't print me a receipt after I already paid saying the machine was down. I kept insisting I need a receipt so he went in back room of store, then began printing me up a receipt on the machine he said was broken. I looked to see was the sum total was right but I didn't notice it said paid with a credit card. I hope I have no problem getting my cash back.

Hello my elderly mom just got this phone. She is failing cognitively and is having trouble remembering how to do small things. Her old phone allowed for her to assign people's numbers where she could just hit the number 1, press send and it would call me. Do you know if this is possible on your phone? I have added my number to the favorites but just those few steps to get to my number is stressing her out.

the TCL's emoticons selection is pretty limited.
there are things that I can't do on the TCL that I could do on the VN170 or the E815 flip phones. you can't set up the UI like way you can with VN170 or E815 on the OK button controls.
