My Mom and Dad's Phones, Not Mine
3 out of 5 rating
JamieG . 3 months ago
My 83 year old Mom and Dad each received one of these phones after the 3g shutdown. They don't text, use email, take pictures nor use the Internet. They use their phones strictly for phone calls. Mom used to use her computer for email and Internet but dementia is kicking in and she no longer quite understands it.
When they received these phones at the end of 2022, Dad was ok with the new phone. The only problem he still has with it is PUSHING THE RED BUTTON to hang it up. On his old phone, all he had to do was close it and it would disconnect. Other than that there's no problem. The phone works fine for what he needs it for. Mom, on the other hand, did NOT like her phone and I'm pretty sure she threw it away within the first couple days of receiving it. I came over to check on them and I couldn't find her phone but I did find her OLD 3g phone out of the box I packed it in, sitting by her recliner. Still, to this day, we haven't been able to find that phone. After a year of her using my Dad's phone and getting used to it, I went to Verizon and got her another one. I also purchased little "locators" from Amazon which I placed on the back of her phone just in case she sets it down somewhere. There's a remote in the living room and all we have to do is push the corresponding color and it will activate the tracker on the back of her phone.
My review of this phone? Activating this phone was a pain. There's no way either of my parents would have been able to do it on their own. There's NO WAY either of my parents could add contacts to this phone. It took me a few to figure it out myself as I'm not familiar with flip phones (I know this phone now!).
Would I recommend this phone? This is not a phone I would get for myself. It's a good phone for my parents and their needs. It serves the purpose of making and receiving calls. However, I did have to set the phones up for them. They would NOT have been able to do it on their own.
Worst phone I've ever had.

This phone is VERY glitchy, slow, and difficult to use. It is NOT user-friendly. Do NOT get this phone.
- Texting on this phone is a Very difficult. The keys double click often and I have to sometimes go around 2, 3, 4 times to get to the letter I want because it also skips letters at times. I've never had such an issue texting with any other phone. I've used many others the last 20 years and this is by far the WORST basic phone I've ever used (I wasn't asked if I wanted this phone, it was just sent to me when my old phone was deactivated without my permission). Scrolling up to look at older messages is a nuisance; it's slow to respond and when trying to lock an old msg it usually doesn't lock the one that's actually highlighted. It also has No time stamp on any msg from before the present day, only the date. When sending a text the phone won't allow me to view previous texts until the one just sent goes through. It also takes a long time to scroll up to view past msgs.
- Notes don't save properly; I have to resave every time I view one, and if I click to back out, it deletes every thing I wrote.
- The camera quality is ok for what it is, but it doesn't allow any editing (I can only crop a picture within an unchanging square). It also doesn't let me crop contact photos properly.
The quality of this phone is the WORST I've ever had. I'm gettin a new phone this week.
Pure garbage

Verizon replaced my old phone with the eTalk. This phone is the worst. Beyond poor I wish I could rate it at 0 stars. Verizon will lose customers over this junk.

Seemed like a decent phone Verizon sent to cover our other flip phone due to 5g upgrade. Lasted 14 months then it went black 2 weeks ago. Got new battery, tried all trouble shooting to no avail. We'll be looking for a better flip phone to replace with. Very disappointing.
Started out OK, then went downhill.

It worked as well as my past flip phones. When the microphone cut out, Verizon refused to say anything was wrong with it. I went in 3 times and was told that it was fine. Terrible service from 1108 Allen Dr, Grand Island, NE.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
This phone is what my mom gave me. me and my mom don't have a very good relationship but she just made it worse by taking away my iPhone 12 for this garbage 1. The quality is really horrible 2. I can barely do anything with it? 3.I can't text at all. 4. Is it is super confusing to work even with the guide? 5. I cant type very fast when im trying to? As to say i only had this phone for about 1 hour and i hate it already. the only good thing about this phone is that i can watch cat spining on youtube. And I almost forgot the screen is really small.
At least I didn't pay for it.

Ugh. This phone is trash. Less than 7 months of use and the hinge is splitting apart. An acquaintance of mine had the same model but his hinge split completely in 5 months.
I still would have given it one star BEFORE that happened.
Pros:
-I didn't pay for it. I also didn't choose it. But since they do charge some people for it, this is not a universal pro.
-The battery on mine wasn't too bad, all things considered.
-I liked the default background image/wallpaper.
-Has a microSD card slot. (I would have thought all phones should at this point but recent experience has led me to believe that you should no longer assume that.)
Cons:
-Call quality audio inferior to most 3G phones.
-Texting wasn't designed by someone who speaks English; or they think you're going to use T9. Maybe some people do. I don't know why. But if you text like a normal 'basic phone' person, you're going to find yourself either going to the symbol menu all the time or never using contractions OR possessives. Because the symbols that cycle on the 1 key do not include an apostrophe. I've been using cell phones for over 20 years and I didn't know that they could actually regress until this phone was in my hands. At one point it was fastest to type 'the dog that belongs to my dad' when on my older phones, I could've quickly typed 'my dad's dog'.
-As far as T9 goes, it literally reset back to T9 from Abc every restart and then sometimes just randomly. Maddening.
-Like almost every 4G basic phone I've ever read a review for, it has the fan favorite 'key delay'! Texting or even dialing quickly is now a thing of the past! Expect to see your input show up immediately? No phones for you now, it seems, and this one is no exception.
-It has Bluetooth. Which mostly works. Except the random connecting and disconnecting in the car constantly and the mystifying partial call history transfer. It was usable but not in any way optimal.
-So the hinge is cracked wide open, but that's not the first crack. Mine developed several micro cracks in various areas on the cheap thin plastic case---and the hardest surface I dropped it on was carpet. My 15 year old Samsung 3G basic phone casing didn't crack until year 11 and I dropped it on concrete in the first year. More than once. And it was also made of plastic.
-It is ugly as sin.
-It's so ugly it deserves two cons just for that.
-Got kinda hot after long use.
-The hinge wasn't designed to be opened and shut frequently, which is a fatal flaw in a flip phone, which I swear we all knew in 2007 but *shrug* not anymore?
-Ugh the volume button didn't lock so it was constantly adjusting the ringtone volume in my pocket or purse. A lock button is so basic and this basic phone couldn't even manage that.
Neutrals:
-It has a camera. It sucks, but not more than you'd expect.
-You can easily turn data off.
-The menu navigation was thankfully copied mostly from older phones and wasn't a nightmare to navigate.
I feel like I'm missing three or four cons but because of the broken hinge I can no longer use it, so blissful forgetfulness is already setting in.
I'm sure this phone is of this stunningly abysmal build and design quality at least partially to try to annoy me into buying some iGalaxy trash but some of us who aren't even old yet are already stubborn. It did annoy me, but not enough to pay $60 for a phone plan. What. Not to mention the price of the ugly uncreative greasy fingerprint covered brick itself.
For the record, I wouldn't have held on to my 3G phone until the last minute if there had been a 4G (sunset compatible!) phone of equal quality available. A newer phone really should be /better/ but I would have settled for equal, and that never happened. And it's not the phone manufacturer's fault. If Verizon ordered some reliable basic phones from Samsung, they could crank them out. Same for any other reputable manufacturer. Verizon doesn't want to, though, and that is all on them regardless of what excuses they try to push.

Is this a locked phone?
Answer from Verizon Customer Support4 months
Devices that you purchase from Verizon and certain devices purchased from our retail partners are locked for 60 days after activation. After 60 days, we will automatically remove the lock. Following the 60 day lock period following device purchase, we do not lock our phones at any time. If you purchase a 4G Phone-in-a-Box from our retail partners, you should review the back of the box to determine the lock period applicable to that device. ~Ivone
