Buying this as a backup phone. Pure nostalgia.
Yes definitely has that nostalgia factor going on
@@PaulTech-Reviews what would you rate this phone on a scale of 1-10
I just got one!! I’m in love with it
I have the KAiOS v. 1.0 but it's a little too basic for me I'll have to return it and get this instead. I so loved the flips, always great call quality and OS were so fast
I remember owning an Alcatel Quickflip. It had a headphone jack as well, but it delivered audio as mono, and it wasn't even real mono, it was whatever was supposed to play on the right headphone on both channels. Does this do the same?
I bought an AT&T unlocked Smartflip, and I wonder who will release the software updates and how long will this device be supported by KaiOS
I just got this as a Trap Phone. 10/10 highly recommend.
Hi, thanks for the review. Do you know if this phone has the "readout" accessibility option for blind people? Thanks
I’m looking for the same feature not sure if this phone has it
Oh my goodness, I need this! I miss my flip phone sooooo much!!! :)
I never owned one, but I want this!
Check eBay. They have a lot of old electronics.
when you do reviews you should show how easy or not it is to make a call or send a message its something all reviewers neglect to do and after all thats what the phone is for. For instance I bought my wife a doro phone but its really too much faffing around to send a message or a text & nearly a third of the screen is taken up with the persons name you are calling.. Most of the stuff in reviews you can find out on the manufacturers website.
Is this offered on AT&T prepaid and if so...will it work on Cricket sim on initial startup like most prepaid phones used to?
excellent thorough review!!
This phone appears to be the same phone as the Tracfone Alcatel My Flip 2. Seems to be the same specs and all. Wonder why they give it them different names? I have an LG Classic Flip right now and thinking of switching to the Alcatel just for the CZcams app and Google mail.
Does it have voice calling , using speaker for visually impaired people?
Can the font be made larger, for visually impaired (not blind but need larger fonts). Can the colors for texting be changed to black back round/white letters????? Also can internet be turned off (don't need it)?
Found your review of this phone, thinking of getting it for my dad, he doesn't like smartphones, he doesn't want to learn either, I think this might be something I might be able to get him to use
My husband isn't much for "learning" either.....he hasn't been doing well with this phone. Neither one of us can find the speakerphone function! ha ha
With a phone like this ide like to see a yearly subscription that replaces and or upgrades for like $50 a year with included encrypted backup for 100% of the data on the phone and SD card.
hi i got something like this TODAY the AT&T cingular IV question how do i add ring tones to my phone , i know it can be mp3 and i know howi connect to pc, how do i add and correctly name them so phone sees them
My bday is coming up and I NEED THIS even💖tho i got the iphone 12 mini i hate Android but i rllly want this
Is this the same or similar to the AT&T Cingular Flip IV?
Does the unlocked version work in India with prepaid service?
Is the Sim card pre- installed? I didn't get a separate card. Please advise.
Does it have speaker for hand free listening? Thanks
Best review ever. Thank you!!
I was wondering if the sim card from my old at&t Z221 flip phone will work in this phone? I tried a new smart phone but want to go back to a flip phone. Hope you can advise me, and thank you!
The one in this phone is tiny. The other one that I think you're talking about is much bigger. That's what my husband had before this new one
The tech simply trimmed off a short piece of my RAZR SIM and installed it, no problem.
are you able to use min card with this phone
Thank you for the informative review. I moved from this flip phone to a smart phone, although I prefer a flip phone.
The main reason involved texting, specifically the input method. I've turned off the predictive text and the next-word suggestions, yet they still come up. As an example, I press the key to get a "T" but when I hit the key to get an "h" the "T"changes into a "U" and then adding some extra letters. When selecting a letter from the list that comes up does the same thing.
I'd prefer the old method of selecting each letter on the Key Pad. It was easy and reliable.
A followup to my previous comments. It seems that the phone was still set for predictive text even when it was turned off in the settings since I had been set that way when was in Notes. Cycling through modes (Initial Caps, Lower Case, Upper Case and Numbers) took care of the issue for me. With Predictive turned off in the settings it didn't appear in the modes.
When you use google maps does it give voice directions as well as displaying the route?
I just wanna know
I also wondered about this!
No dont bother if u want a gps use a physical gps unit. Google maps sucks anyway
My Tracfone version of this phone does not have the Google services. Can't get it through the KaiOS store.
This phone keeps on trying to load contacts when I tried to input new contacts. The loading contacts been spinning for hours, what’s the fix?
I have the Alcatel Go Flip 3, essentially the exact same phone. Love it! It's my main phone, and hotspot a phablet and or laptop when needed. It's an awesome phone. Highly recommend it.
Was wondering if you could do a unboxing and review of the new Verizon prepaid Nokia 3 V? Thanks.
I've been wanting to get that phone. Will check the store today to see if i can pick it up.
@@PaulTech-Reviews cool
I did see on the best buy website that it was on sale for $89 I just like watching my favorite tech CZcamsrs review phones before I go purchase them.
Forgot to mention. Google assistant and voice to text is NOT AVAILABLE on Verizon carriers.
That's good to know...I just looked at getting this thru AT&T
Not even the Kyocera dura xl extreme
Hello, Jerry 123456789101112, Wish I Had Known Before I Ordered The Verizon Version Online,But I Found The Alcatel Smart Flip Online For Cricket Wireless & Ordered It Tonite(February 26,2021 Friday), I Have Cerebral Plasy In My Legs and Hands So Typing & Texting Is Very Slow For Me. from South Louisiana.
Hello Jerry123456789101112, Just Found Out That The Alcatel Smart Flip No Longer Works On Cricket Wireless. I Can't Believe It WOW!!!!!!!!! February 27,2021 Saturday.
Nothing like the satisfaction of flipping open a phone to answer a call.
Ok whats the gps map like
cool video tech talk paul
It's very interesting!
can this be used as a hotspot with the data included in my plan? att of course. my plan includes hotspot. thanks.
Yes hotspot and wifi capable and bluetooth I think
@@AlejandroP1980s what are talking about Willis?
Like it. Pocket friendly. Tired of holding a phone carry it around.
I actually have one & love it. Durable too !
hey. what's the deal with music? can u download Spotify on this thing? if not what is the music application ?? thx lol
But u never talked about the gps though??? Does it work effectively??
Does this phone have a setting where you can pick how many times the phone will ring before you get to it
Yes
What's the difference between SmartFlip, Go Flip 3, Go Flip V, and My Flip? I notice some have Google Assistant, some don't. Some have an app store, and some don't. Is there like chart somewhere that shows the differences?
All of these are identical
I have also noticed that the app store on the myflip is limited. Besides CZcams, no Facebook, Twitter, no other Google apps.
how would i music on this, and would i be able to connect my apple watch/airpods to it? Also, great review!
AirPods yes, Apple Watch no
can u like download Spotify? lolll
Please answer one question, why do people think they need to text, when they could simply call?
Can you make a call with google assistant on yours, because mine isn't working and I don't know why. It give me the error, " sorry, I can't do that on this device anymore."
Thanks 😍
Be sure to check out my case review for the Alcatel smart flip also

This is one of the coolest phone I've seen for almost 20 years, all smartphones nowadays are same and boring.
Niceee!!!! Shout out to Paul tech yo!!!! Two pauls in the house that's including myself haha
👍👍👍
This device is good on wifi, but when not connected to wifi and using the data it only last about 7 hours standby without usage. Not sure how to change that, seems to be a problem with kaios devices i've had. Signal is great.
Can this have a music app or download music?
I have moto G pure At&t prepaid 🥰❤️❤️ i have my flip phone i switch sim card into my smart phone 📱
How do I get this in the UK
Does anyone know if this will work on Verizon?
Mack McCord yes just not google assistant or voice text
Sorry if I missed it in the video, can you text with T9?
Would like to know much more about texting & messaging. Is it conversation text like smartphones have, or just isolated individual messages? Is there an artificial limit to the number of texts I can hold (eg 500, like in the old dumbphone days)?
Cheers and thanks for the video!
Do you know why my videos are not saving to the gallery? Photos automatically save, but not videos. Thanks
Flip phones are making a come back
How do you put this phone on speaker phone?
I wish Motorola would bring back the Razor, Krazor flips again. Add maps, and some kind of MP3, would be all I need.
I've been a huge Moto fan for years, so I agree a true Moto flip phone with KaiOS for under $100 USD with a beefy battery, and decent design would be great for people who don't need a full Android device, or just want a cheap backup phone, or a first phone for a kid.
I got this today
Mine won’t charge do any of y’all have any idea of how to fix it
My sister is blind. Does the phone talk? As in when incoming calls come or reading out text messages?
Yes
Says the number and name also text by speaking
How do I put this phone on speaker phone
Does it have gps..can i pair this phone to my new car
Good question. It seems that it displays turn-by-turn that you have to read but I'd like to know that too before I buy it.
will my sim card from my zte altair that I have now work in this phone? I really want to get this one...att is going to 5g soon, told me my phone will not work on that system....Thanks
is this mobil having waitting call
I stopped by an AT&T store to ask if a flip phone that has speech-to-text text messaging and the associate said this would do it. 8:30
I bought one but I don't know how to make Voicemail??
Hi. 1. Can you install Viber and Messenger?
2. Does it have T9 Input?
3. How long is Battery Life?
Thanks.
Battery life 4-6 days ,ON 24 hrs a day. Not sure if it has vibrate but it has great adjustable volume.
Headphone jack? Better than iPhone already.
Can you add music to the music library?
Can you block the social media apps?
Great presentation. I will order one now.
Nice thank you, also be sure to check out this great case for the Alcatel 3V that I made a video on.

can you put your own sim card in it?
usually you can, so you should be able to.
My RAZR SIM had to be shortened a bit. Worked.
Need this , how can i get in pakistan ?
On cricket how much a month
How do you make a call man
Can you use spotify on this? ._.
does this phone have wifi hotspot
almost the perfect phone, almost
Ha funny that I'm looking for reviews on this flip for my daughter while on a flip (Samsung galaxy z flip)
Price Kiya h
Ye kese mil jae g
Why not show the screen so we can see it while going through everything?
Upside it uses kiaos linux
You were more helpful than others. But I still am totally confused about how to operate it. I paid $80 . Have no maps, google etc. Think I got taken big time.
same lol
Does it have T9? If not that's a deal breaker unfortunately
Keith Rodriguez Yea. Like the OG Go Flip, it does.
You're missing the whole fundamental point of this phone, it's simplicity of use for senior users. You don't demo the essential functions they need: how to make a call, answer a call and end a call. If they could use features like the ones you review they would simply get a standard smart phone. For what you demo, it is good for someone not so impaired.
I would buy one but the camera is so crap
Does it have wifi calling?
I know how to 'set up' Speed Dial, but can't for the life of me figure out how to use it.
can it go on instagram
If you want to go on IG just get a smartphone dumb ass
Time consuming is good because it makes you be more intentional.
BRO I need this for my next phone
How do buy?
Can you get Instagram on this phone?
No Instagram as of now.
Really bruh your not even worried about WhatsApp or a messaging app?
i love my flip phone.. i am never getting an iphone/smartphone.. i have a laptop i am on now.... so i am not completely off line.. i just want a phone to call people on.. don't even do much texting.. this phone does a lot of stuff i don't know how to do.. but maybe some day i will figure it out.. and no one is ever going to steal my 30 dollar flip phone. and if they do.. i'll just buy another one......................
It does not run Android, it runs KaiOS.
I bought this phone to replace my LG that went thru the washer and dryer... Sorry to say this phone is junk. Hard to navigate and people on the other end couldnt hear me..I ended up throwing it away and repurchasing the LG flip like the one I had before.
Down side is Its locked and cant go use it else where. It's the same shit what tracfone uses locked features at&t uses.
You can unlock it
You can go on eBay, and get it unlocked with a code for $8, or use it on AT&T service I think for 6 months, and the will unlock the phone for free. Same with the Cricket version which is labeled as the Cricket Debut Flip.
Don't bother buying, difficult to use and lacking features, like showing minutes on screen. It can be done but is inconvenient.
اكو من هذا الموبايل بالعراق 😓
