I agree this is a great phone. I have a smart phone also, buts its like I don't need all this - I just want to be able to make a phone call. Too much technology. I miss the 1980's 😎 ❤
I'm all about trying to help people on my channel. That's one reason I cover so many devices. This one is an important phone for many people still. And thanks. Lol. I thought people might enjoy that
I love your point regarding not to downplay the old style flip phone just because certain people don't either like them or have a need for them. My in-laws are 100% clueless when it comes to technology (sadly my father-in-law passed away just recently) so my wife and I purchased them this Alcatel Go Flip 4 and they love(d) it. the perfect phone for them and many folks just like them! Thank you for this video!
could not see the buttons you were pushing. See the top of your phone and you say what you are doing but not showing it. I would have liked to see exactly where you are pushing a button. I only need it to take a picture and send it to my email. And that was not shown . So I still don't know how to use it.
I wish someone would just release a basic phone with the same quality as a RAZR V3. Basic phones are finally starting to catch back up to their hay day though that makes me glad. When the smartphone took over completely the thought and care just fell off a cliff. This, the Nokia 2720, and the TCL FLIP Pro are the best flip phones on the market in my opinion. They have come a long way since the basic phone market bottomed out.
Looking here too, I just flat-out don't like smartphones. I delved into the Nokia 2720 today and the thing I didn't like is it has a pretty bad camera. I don't need great but part of the reason for me to even have a cellphone is to be able to send pictures easily.
@@TechOdyssey Significantly smaller yes, but if even 10% of the millions who use cellphones wants them that's still a huge lot of people. Remember when Apple's market share was that small way back when?
For travel in developing nations... I bought a flip phone. But I got the Sonim XP3 flip phone. I like it so much that I bought a second for a spare, and a military tough pouch with both velcro and buckle closure. All kinds of bands and fequencies, including 4G, military spec ruggedness. IP68 waterproof and MIL-STD-810G ruggedized. Its physical buttons mean it's fully usable when wet, even underwater. I was dropped five feet to concrete, no damage, and I can't even find a mark on it. I got them unlocked for travel, dual SIM slots and SDHC micro memory card slot for music etc. 5MP camera. For tropical developing world travel for months at a time... this is the phone for me.
Thank you very much for doing a video on a decent flip phone. My 82 year old mom, who is having memory issues, needs to go back to a much simpler phone. She cannot operate her smartphone anymore. You are right, there are still a couple niche markets for the flip phones, including our aging senior citizens. I'm thankful you did this video so I can see if our carrier has this phone which would be perfect for my mom. Thank you 👍.
I got the Flip 3 for my business as our 24-hour support line, when data is off it goes 2 to 4 days on a charge. With data on its a day and a half max. Very happy with it, and it's refreshing to have a phone that doesn't buzz every 5 seconds
I remember Adam Curry (the original Podfather and a fellow Houstonite) swore by his Go Flip 3 as his OTG (off the grid) device. It's not a smartphone but it almost is 🙂
I had the Flip 2 and was pleased with it. Never had the Flip 3. However, I have had three of the flip 4. Three phones because the key pad works well for only for about two months and under warranty first one was replaced. Second one I purchased because warranty was expired. If it worked as designed, I would be happy. The keypad is flimsy. When entering a number you may get one number or you may get four numbers. Same with texting. In the beginning worked great…two months later…the keypad has a mind of it’s own. Very frustrating. I have now read several reviews stating the same complaint. Oh and no emojis on the Flip 4. This time, ATT sent me a different replacement. It is a basic phone but is larger and looks like smart phone. So far it works well. I really just wanted to stick with a flip phone…with a solid key pad. My husband has a construction grade flip, with solid keys, but text prediction is not good.
THANK YOU for explaining predictive text. 20 y.o. here trying to switch from an iPhone to a dumbphone. naturally, i know what predictive text means for a smartphone with a full touch keyboard, but all other dumb phone reviews i've seen that mention this feature don't explain it. i thought to type 'hello' using predictive text, you would hit 4 twice, 3 twice, and maybe 5 three times until the phone could guess the word. this is less intuitive to me, but sooo much easier and more logical.
Would love to see a review of those Japanese and Korean smart flip phones. Android OS in the body of a flip phone. Used to see a lot of guys on the train with them.
I recently found your channel and your insight on tech and reviews are amazing! Keep up the good work! (Also, your review helped me go for a flip 3, which I'm in love with ATM).
What is the actual model number of the phone that has the usb-c charging. I'd like to order one that's unlocked and will will work with Tello. Any suggestions on where to buy?
I have the TCL Flip Pro version. Two things that are bugging me about it... There is no way to tell what the charging status is. An icon appears for a few seconds and then turns off. No indication of "charge complete". Also, I'd like to just power it off without having to choose between that and restart. Am I missing something on either of the issues in the settings?
Wearing that military shirt. Man I am shocked you didn't threw them all away. I missed shirts, t-shirts in different colors so much after 1 year of service.
Thank you so much for the video. My mom just bought this phone and wanted to return it. I had to learn how to use it to show her but didn't find it as simple as I expected. Your video helped. T-mobile didn't even have one in the store, had to be ordered but came in two days. She has dementia so that's why she is struggling. I returned the gen 3 apple phone because all the apple I'd stuff that had to be done was annoying and you are right a smartphone for a person who only had a flip and is now 75 was not a good fit. I did not know about the simple text typing. I saw the improvement with featuring all the letters on the LCD screen was good, she did not. Two questions..does this have a speaker phone option and since she won't be using anything but talk and text, should I turn off the wifi mode? Thanks again.
I don’t think it’s necessary to turn off wifi. I guess you can, if you’re in a strong network coverage area at home and don’t have any signal issues. It’s not “necessary”, if you’re just using it for phone calls essentially. With it not being 5G if you travel to more rural areas, being connected to wifi could help out if you end up having connectivity issues, but that’s likely not a big problem.
Similar to the Nokia 3720 Flip we have here in Germany. Kaios , 4G and WhatsApp Support...Google assistant and so on. Unfortunately we don't have the Alcatel Flip4. Kaios is nice but soooo slow
I just got a Kai OS flip phone from AT&T out of desperation when they shut off my service to my Kyocera DuraXE phone, and I can honestly say this is the WORST, MOST ANNOYING phone I've ever dealt with. And I've only ever had dumb phones. The T9 predictive text is absolute garbage (clicking 4 once results in a 'g', not an 'i'), it can't predict contractions, and you have to change out of T9 to change capitalization. I've never had a more frustrating texting experience. Meanwhile, it's trying to track and share my location for just about everything on the phone (had to shut that off in settings for each 'app' including camera). Speaking of the camera, it's got the worst camera that's been in a phone over $15 for about 7 years. It also wants to use data to download any photo sent to me, instead of allowing the photos to be sent as basic MMS. It also slightly warps voices of people on call (outgoing and incoming). Maybe you and I have different models, or perhaps you appreciate the smart-ish features that I'd prefer to remove altogether if hat was an option. 🤷♀️ This is for sure a 1/10 "would not recommend" for me.
Just exploring these types of phone after my replacement Pixel6 failed, again, after less than 6 months. I need a phone that works, and the rest of the bling I can deal with on a computer or tablet.
I have the Verizon prepaid version of that phone the TCL Flip Pro and it works great. I also have a Moto One 5G Ace UW as well and that works great as well. Great video man 👍 it's one of the best flip phones I've ever used. I think that the flip phone is superior then the touchscreen smartphones because the battery lasts along time sometimes for weeks and most of the time you get better call quality and reception then any smartphones including iphones. My universal unlocked iphone 6s plus always dropping calls while using it on Verizon prepaid. My TCL Flip Pro/Alcatel Go Flip 4 is great to use and it keeps me focused and not distracted like a zombie always starring at the screen like how I used to be before smartphones we're invinted. TCL Flip Pro/Alcatel Go Flip 4 has great excellent reception and call quality it's so great that I don't have to use Wi-Fi calling in my house like with the universal unlocked iPhone 6s plus or the Verizon prepaid Moto One 5G Ace UW. The TCL Flip Pro/Alcatel Go Flip 4 is an all around great excellent phone to use.
@@tonythatorc971 5G is not dangerous. It's using the same signals that hae been bouncing around for decades. It's just been repurposed for highspeed data.
@@tonythatorc971 I enjoy using the TCL flip pro 4G LTE flip phone the best. I cannot/do not want to use my Moto One 5G Ace anymore because do to research I found about very dangerous health issues to and experience it first hand and I don't want a 5G smartphone around me anymore. It will be either thrown away in the trash or dropped in a recycling cellphone bin. In other countries they don't need 5G or want it from what I read in my research online. I do not want more health issues they keep 5G. Birds, trees animals in general are dying left and right. You are correct 5G is very dangerous.
Sorry. I’m not sure if they gave an unlocked model you can get either. Check out the Alcatel Go Flip 3. Maybe you can get one ox those. Almost the same.
The must-have app for me with a phone is turn-by-turn navigation. None of these smarter dumb phones have this. They may have a map app, but no turn-by-turn directions.
Hello! So I’m not allowed to get a iPhone Samsung phone etc right now but I was think to get a flip phone for temporary. Do you think it’s worth getting one and would you say the go flip 4 is the best? Thanks for the video also, it’s for informative!
I just want to know how to put in phone numbers, how to bring them up and how to dial and answer the phone. I DON"T NEED ALL THE OTHER JUNK never gong to used that other stuff but that is all you spend most of your time on. How about just showing what most of us seniors need. A PHONE
If I get my hands on this beauty, how can I make sure that it'll work with Indian 4G networks? I really need help here regarding network compatibility. Edit - Whatsapp isn't on KaiOS?
PLEASE go into more DETAIL about the operation of the phone. For example, How do you add contacts in FAVORITES? What is the purpose of the SUBSCREEN, nothing shows no incoming text message notification, only thing is phone ringing phone # shows, although I need a magnifying glass to read it SO MUCH FOR LARGE LETTERS, WHY no name along with the phone # for people in my CONTACTS for phone calls. WHERE is Speaker Phone? You can Press This One for Emojis, WHAT is "This One" called ? ALARM clock, I noticed there isn't a a DISMISS button. Yes, I can select stop but in 10 minutes in goes off again. Incoming TEXT Msgs - ONE Beep Notification that's it. If I'm in another room I cannot hear it and the only way I willl know is if I OPEN THE PHONE. WHY isn't there a notification on subscreen or LID as I call it. This phone rings 9 times before going to VOICEMAIL, How to Change That. NONE OF THIS IS IN ANY MANUAL I'VE READ ONLINE. Do I need to turn on Wi-Fi for 4G LTE? Thank you! What is the SD card?
Why is the flip phone you are showing us is altogether different than the one on your link to Amazon. If you get the flip 4 from Amazon you will not get the Emojis..check it out...so what model are you showing us ?
Does it have wifi texting? I want to get a flip phone but I also need to be able to text my girlfriend. But I don’t have good cell service (or any) at my house
i just got one of these today from verizon, they said my gig 3 will not work anymore, so i guess i am stuck with a phone i do not like.... is there any way to get all the garbage off of it, i do not need games internet ect ect, just want a basic dial and talk phone like i had, please tell me a way to clean out all the crap
Great review! My only comment is that your link for the phone gets you a Go Flip 2 from Amazon. I purchased, saw what it was and have returned it! I have been looking for an unlocked Flip 4 but I am starting to believe it is a Unicorn, still great review!
@@nomorebsforme I have the same model as yours (Alcatel 4052c). I don't use mine anymore. However, I just turned it on and connected it to my wifi and my Google Assistant is working. It answered the questions I had and it dictated a text message for me (I didn't send it since I didn't put my SIM card in it). It's a great phone to have as a spare. I just wish I didn't need a smartphone to communicate with the people around me because they often send me pictures or audio/video messages or bank transfers, etc. I can't function without one anymore 😭

This phone rings 9 times before going to VOICEMAIL, How to Change That. NONE OF THIS IS IN ANY MANUAL I'VE READ ONLINE. Do I need to turn on Wi-Fi for 4G LTE? Thank you! What is the SD card?
Is it better to train on the touch screen phone why have to train them twice?
Why is the flip phone you are showing us is altogether different than the one on your link to Amazon. If you get the flip 4 from Amazon you will not get the Emojis..check it out...so what model are you showing us ?
Didn't watch all of it but does it support whatsapp, family overseas
What phone it is?
does spotify work here?
No

Does it have wifi texting? I want to get a flip phone but I also need to be able to text my girlfriend. But I don’t have good cell service (or any) at my house

Hello! How is the group texting on this? Sent and received in a single thread?
Great review! My only comment is that your link for the phone gets you a Go Flip 2 from Amazon. I purchased, saw what it was and have returned it! I have been looking for an unlocked Flip 4 but I am starting to believe it is a Unicorn, still great review!
Does it have Google Assist? My Go Flip does and it's great for dictating text messages.
This one doesn’t, but the Go Flip 3 does.
If your software updates on the "go 3" you won't have google assist anymore either.
I have Alcatel 4052 and now the assistant won't do voice to text.what is your model and is it still working ?
@@nomorebsforme I have the same model as yours (Alcatel 4052c). I don't use mine anymore. However, I just turned it on and connected it to my wifi and my Google Assistant is working. It answered the questions I had and it dictated a text message for me (I didn't send it since I didn't put my SIM card in it). It's a great phone to have as a spare. I just wish I didn't need a smartphone to communicate with the people around me because they often send me pictures or audio/video messages or bank transfers, etc. I can't function without one anymore 😭
Hi, is there a way to text where it does not provide the words for you meaning. Can I just turn it off so I can push the number 7 4 times to get the letter S ? Thanks
Yes. Turn on T9 keyboard
@@TechOdyssey Thanks, where is that at, in the settings ?
@@TechOdyssey I am trying to leave it at abc all of the time so I don't always have to keep doing it. Is there a way to turn on abc in the settings so it stays abc all of the time ? Thanks
Can banking apps work with this Google Go software version?

Would this camera be worth trying to use when I visit Mexico? or will the pics be trash once I get home and upload them to fb lol
I hate to say it but the pictures will not be very good.

Nice!
