Total Wireless Alcatel MyFlip 4G Prepaid Flip Phone (Locked) - Black - 4GB - Sim Card Included - CDMA

Sometimes when people write reviews of flip phones, they compare them to smart phones. Don't do that. You can connect to the internet with this phone, but it's about as slow as dial-up. This phone is for people who want a good 4G LTE connection for making phone calls and sending texts. It will take pictures, about like the old "Instamatic" film cameras. It has a good FM radio built in too! It's also pretty sturdy. I dropped one on a concrete floor. The battery cover came off and the battery fell out, but I snapped it back together and turned it on and it was fine. I did break one once when it was clipped to my belt and I slipped on the ice. I basically landed my entire body weight on the phone, and it damaged the LEDs behind the screen so the screen didn't display images properly anymore. Even then, I COULD STILL MAKE AND RECEIVE PHONE CALLS! I replaced the damaged one with a new one of the same model for just 20 bucks. Try THAT with a smartphone! If you want a smartphone, go elsewhere. If you want an inexpensive, sturdy flip phone that has a few nice extras, this is your phone.

I have a friend that finds it difficult to get a government phone because he is a disabled veteran who has a payee. This little phone gives communication to the outside world. This is important. He is very pleased.

Did not like the substitute wanted tracefone was given Total wireless. And not use minutes from tracefone. Not happy I open package and called before I know that can not tracefone minutes with total wireless. Will watch ordering or opening package before I learned that total wireless is not inner chargeable. Not happy with all I had to do to get my friend setup with Total wireless.

It is a burner phone, so I wasn't expecting much. There is no touch screen so I gave it one star for that. The hinge seems kind of weak.

This phone was an expensive paperweight. Fo not bother buying it. I purchased it for my dad. I activated it. It worked for a day or two then completely lost service. We had to constantly keep calling our service carrier to try to reprogram it because it was constantly losing all it's service. It was an issue with the phone and not the service carrier. This phone is so far out of date on technology that it literally can't stay connected to the towers. I reactivated his old phone and got service on it just fine in the same location. This phone is unreliable. Do not waste your money like we did.

It’s a perfect phone for an elementary school kid. I bought one for my son in August at the start of the school year, as an emergency phone, just in case he needed one. It lasted a while year with rough use. The screen cracked a few days back and I bought him a new one.

I ordered this phone for my husband. He is not interested in all the bells and whistles of the expensive Iphones but wanted one he could easily navigate. This phone is very reasonably priced but still has enough features to be pretty modern. He wanted a phone he could work easily and this fit the bill.

The upper left of the package was damaged, torn, wet, and reeked of perfume. The plastic wrapper for mailing was not torn which leads me to believe it was damaged and wet before it went into the plastic for shipping.
