I purchased this flip phone for my mom. The phone is just right for her, it fits perfectly in her hand, the numbers are easy to read and she can see who’s calling without having to open the phone up. The phone is user friendly for an elderly person.

Good beginner phone

Good beginner phone, easy to set up and use

Unprofessional service and low quality of the phone

Michael Vimislik . 15 days ago

The newly purchased phone developed cracks on the outside screen. It was purchased two weeks ago and carried only in my pocket. It was not dropped or abused in any way.! We took a chance and returned to the Verizon store. The young man at the store that we spoke with was extremely rude and condescending. Unprofessional service is unacceptable when dealing with the public! Disgusted

UPDATE: Not just Talk and Text

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Update from my post below: I returned the phone that we were told had no internet and received the correct one. Be sure to make the sure it is the correct SKU on the box. Thanks to this website page, I was able to go back to Verizon and show them I needed the SKU TCL-T435V and not TCL-T435S. Even the manager at the store did not know there was a difference but thankfully they did have it in stock. The phone is simple to use, no internet or web browsing but it does have the radio and my teen likes that! So that is win for us. Has an audio port to plug in headphones when chatting on phone or listening to radio. Highly recommend for someone wanting a simple phone, especially for teens who want to be connected and avoid smart phones.

Awesome phone

Not just Talk and Text

SearchingforDummiePhone . 21 days ago

Purchased this phone today to have a phone for talking and texting only. I was ensured by the rep there was no internet. Sure enough there is internet and YouTube. Andi can’t find a way to disable or remove. I will be returning. If you’re okay with internet this phone would be perfect. It’s simple and easy to use.

Hello. Perhaps, the wrong device was shipped out. There is a device reference number behind the battery. Please check the correct model reference number. The Flip 3 Voice & Text Only do not have support for internet access. - Kevin.
