TCL FLIP 3, 16GB, Prepaid Flip Phone, Stone Gray, 5MP Video Capable Camera, Easy Setup, Locked [Sim Card Included - Separate Purchase Not Necessary]

Great phone!! FOR RADIO!! Cheaper than all or most radios! Decent battery life! Lasting all day. Love the free Radio built-in!!

This is a great phone for a first time owner. I bought this for my son but was hesistant because there was no obvious parental controls. After googling the Operating Sytem, I figured out the KAIOS had parental controls. I was able to lock the browser and youtube app. The plan i purchased had unlimited talk and text but also 12 gigs of internet. The screen and buttons are big. The only draw back is the Texting is a bit wonky. For 20 bucks, what else can you ask for? The setup was easy also.

Great for anyone who prefers not to have an iPhone and great for a “home” phone.

The Flip 3 is not a smartphone, and is not capable of using LTE data. It is otherwise a capable old-school device, perfect as a backup device. However, it does need a service plan to do calls, SMS, and, this is big, it has a removable battery! Now for the stupid part - Tracfone only shows plans with data for a phone that can't use data, and Tracfone apparently expects user to pay for the unusable service. To make matters worse, they advertise a no data plan, but you can't buy when activating the phone online. Calling / Chat / Customer service is MIA at Tracfone. Returned.

I ordered this Tracfone to replace a lost one recently. It arrived quickly, and was well packaged, but judging from the appearance of the phone's factory box it had no doubt been opened at some point. The strip of tape that holds the flap on the box end was cut, and there was some damage to the box. After close inspection, however, nothing had been taken out of its cellophane factory wrapping and all the papers and booklets were there. Not a deal breaker, but still a bit concerning since the item description said "Brand New". After a call to Tracfone, the service rep was very helpful in transferring my minutes and service from the lost phone to this one. This phone is somewhat larger than my old LG flip, but that's actually a good thing for my aged eyes. It seems to work just fine, and I have an equal or better signal here with it as the old phone had. After a few moments of working with the menus and buttons I am comfortable that this phone will do just fine For the $$ I don't think I could have done better, and am quite pleased overall in this transaction. It does appear, however, that this item was returned or previously purchased and should have been discounted just a bit for that fact.

Bought this for my dad he says it cuts off on him mid call sometimes but other than that it’s really just the type of service you buy to go with your phone

I will admit some of the one star reviews had me a bit skeptical of this device. But I found myself wasting a lot of time on my old touch screen phone so I wanted something cheap and simple. Having access to the internet and a computer made setup very easy. I had no trouble setting the phone up on the track phone website. Additionally I want to be very clear your phone should come with the SIM card pre installed already. You do NOT need to purchase a SIM card it comes with one pre-installed(the amazon listing doesn't do a good job at clarifying this at all). It does have a space for a micro SD card if you want to put one in. That said don't be foolish like me and waste extra money on a SIM card you don't need. Overall the phone is okay quality for the price the screen is bright, the phone is fairly large and has big buttons so it would be good for seniors/kids, speaker volume isn't amazing so if you are hard of hearing or make calls in loud environments that may be something to consider. Overall very solid cheap phone. I will certainly buy another if this one breaks. Also 15$/month unlimited talk/text is very competitive in todays market.

I loved the idea of going back to an og flip phone but getting the minutes was a hassle. Sadly, I returned it and went with a house phone instead.
