TracFone Total Wireless Alcatel 4G Prepaid Flip Phone

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.

Hard to use for email.

Bought this phone for a friend because he wanted a simple inexpensive phone that he wouldn't be using all that much. This sounded good except for one problem. The phone was defective The touch screen didn't work. I tried rebooting the phone and then took the battery out and put it back in but the touch screen remained unresponsive. Didn't know what else to do so I had no choice but to return it. The phone was cute and has big keys which my friend would have liked but this is what you get when you buy a 20 dollar phone. So anyone looking for a cheap phone don't buy this one.

its ok thats all jim
