TracFone Carrier-Locked LG Classic Flip 4G LTE Prepaid Flip Phone- Black - 4GB - Sim Card Included – CDMA

No problem

Taking over Power of Attorney and helping my elder stroke disabled uncle meant finding a phone he’d feel confident using.We took a week to slowly learn this gadget together.The directions do not make this easy to learn. This explains the minus one star.I typed up the primary things uncle needed to remember. How to check the text. Answering machine messages. Use speakerphone since he’s one handed this is super helpful when he’s checking messages and wants to delete them.Overall this is an exceptional phone for the monthly price.We bought the phone here but set the phone monthly plan up on the Tracfone website.Based on reviews the website was super easy. Customer service very helpful. Auto-renewal perfect. The first month $17.71 for unlimited talk and text. We got the $20 plan. The first month had some discounts.Uncle doesn't need internet so I didn't set this up.The numbers are super big. Light up.I think the navigation confused uncle since it was different slightly from his old phone. Didn't have a symbol in the middle. So, I added a tiny piece of textured hospital tape to help him remember.The weird thing is the sound where you listen is on the back of the phone. So if you cover this can't hear people. For uncle, the speaker option works perfectly.If this phone is for an elder person who needs assistance I'd recommend helping set it up.I'd recommend the list in the photo of things to remember for your loved one. This helps my uncle remember a lot.We used a whiteboard at first he could see whenever he used the phone. Then, created a list of what’s most helpful the directions didn't outline.As far as I can tell there isn't a better phone on the market for elder folks who need a great easy to use once set up cell⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finally got my new phone set up in March of 2022. It worked fine until a month later when the bogus caller ID “Call from Heather Hilton” was put on my phone. It took months and hours of wasted time and finally they made it so the phone didn’t work at all. I called the FCC and not long after Tracfone corporate called, made the phone work and put a proper caller ID on. Recently I got an email on a Friday from Tracfone saying I’d contacted them about missing minutes (which I hadn’t). I tried the phone and all the minutes were gone. I got repeats of that email until Sunday afternoon. I tried my phone later and my minutes were back.

4g appears at top of the home screen with the vertical bars and the funnel wi-fi signal also. It is small and faint, but it is there. I was able to connect to wi-fi, I just had to enter the wi-fi password. The white/gray background with black letters/numbers make it easy to see. I am a senior with one hearing aid and not tech savvy. I use the cell phone for necessities only, which isn't much. I was able to get it on vibration mode by pressing the # key and then I clicked off the ringtones in the settings section. The SOS button can only be programed for one cell phone number not for 911. This phone feels and looks like it is quality made. I had a little trouble hearing the volume when it was at its highest of #7 in a test call to my sister who was in the next room. Then I pressed the speaker phone button and I could hear her fine. She said she doesn't speak loud over the phone, so I think that is why I could barely hear her at #7. The 4g signal goes out sometimes and 1x shows up where the 4g was. I think it is because I am in the house, but it goes back on in a short while. I live in a rural area, I don't think it is the phones fault. My old 3g phone did the same but stayed off signal most of the time and it was very frustrating. I have since understood some things about 3g and 4g and signals. I thought it was tracfone and my 3g phones fault, but now I understand it is not. I have been very stressed and disappointed with cell phones which have always been tracfones. I think this one will not be a disappointment because it is 4g and I understand more about the technology.

I WILL NEVER BUY A TRACfONE AGAIN HAD THERE PHONE 20 YRS SPENT 2 HRS TALKING TO A RECORDING NEVER TALKED TO A PERSON. wANTED KEEP THE SAME PHONE NUMBER SO FAMILY & CONTACT WOULD KNOW HOW TO CALL ME. WILL HAVE TO GO WITH SOME ONE ELSE THAT WILL GIVE ME THE SAME NUMBER I had or at least talk to me. They just keep telling me to turn my old phone on that is broke. I could tell recording that its broke even though I tried Phone may be fine Had 2 LG before I liked them or I wouldnt keep buying them. Do not buy a TracFone unless you like spend a lot time trying to activate & keep the same #. they not the same as they used to be. They had people to talk to not a recording. You have been warned about tracfone. I was a good customer 20yrs . I f I had known Sooner. Now I will Return this phone.
