@@jpwaterman5104 I agree bro, KaiOS is not supported by Google anymore :'( it's not a hard sell for me and anyone who uses Google services on a feature phone
Watching this again 2 years later, I'm still very happy about my grandma is happy about using the Go Flip 3! I recently heard that the Go Flip 5 just released a few weeks ago, I was wondering if you're going to review it soon! Especially after the problems with KaiOS :))
I'm removing myself from the world of tech. I now have no internet, no social media. This is so relaxing the next thing is to get rid of my smartphone I basically call and text. I sleep better at night also.
Be awesome if Alcatel could put out something similar to the Punkt phone. Very minimal, use the guts of a Go Flip 3. And make it indestructible. I find it odd nobody else has done this...
I only recently found your channel and website. I've been watching your reviews constantly ever since. Awesome job. Wish I found them sooner. My experience with this phone was very poor due to inconsistent performance. I don't know what KaiOS version mine had, but it felt like the phone was underpowered and nowhere as responsive as the one in this review. I assume I had a later version, or it was a region thing. Mine was purchased unlocked and used in Canada on Telus/Koodo. I would describe the responsiveness I had as "artificial". Loading an app from the Home Screen usually happened instantly, but would hang before it would respond to any key input. Making a call usually took 10-12 seconds between typing the numbers to actually dialling, while other times it would respond much quicker. This was particularly annoying since I only used the text and caller apps. Deleting text history and clearing memory was a daily chore and seemed to do little to improve things. After a month of using the Go Flip 3, I switched back to my current phone, the CoolPad Snap, which has similar hardware specs. Performance is still poor, but it is more consistent. Leaving the smartphone game I never expected today's "basic" phones to be worse than the ones of 15-20 years ago. Either that or I just keep finding ones that try to offer too much. I recently saw your reviews on the AGM M6 & M7. I'll definitely give one of those a try next. Thanks
Well said agree 100% and I think we have it worst in North America with this crazy version/feature locking and lack of transparency. Hard to believe that it is just laziness ... I suppose there is some kickback scheme that fuels the scenario?
Most likely. Carriers lock their devices to attract customers and in doing so provide a kickback to the manufacturers. We need an open system like those found outside of the US.
I agree with the fragmentation issues, but Alcatel probably receives subsidies from each carrier so they don't have bloatware. Nokia on the other hand sells their devices unlocked, but include bloatware that Is probably subsidized by those software companies. Pure KaiOS with a good spec'd phone would be awesome
Thank you for making this video, as I was comparing these two phones and wasn't sure which was the better choice. It's worth noting that, as far as I can tell, debug mode on the Alcatel doesn't let you sideload apps, whereas on the Nokia it does, at least certain ones. I've tried to figure out how bad the difference between 2.5.2 and 2.5.4 is. Could you clarify what exactly you lose out on besides WhatsApp voice calls? I'm not a WhatsApp user currently, and it seems like the Alcatel does still have some advantages: * Less awful camera * Bigger screen * Second screen * Less bloat * Clamshell design * Stays in predictive text mode...? I looked at the My Flip 2, but it appears to use Verizon service on Tracfone (and obviously does on Total Wireless), and I'm looking for something for T-Mobile service.
Jose, Thanks so much for this detailed review! Here's my question, my 97 year-old father needs a new phone. Flip is the only way to go. He needs simplicity and ease of use. Should I get him the Alcatel GO Flip 3 ? He doesn't use the phone very much, but would like internet. What do you mean by "fragmentation." Thanks for being there!
I would look into the Nuu F4L before I would go with the GO Flip 3. Fragmentation simply means they have different version of the operating system on the market depending on which submodel you buy. SO just because you liked OK on one submodel you may actually hate it if you go with another submodel.
I have a My Flip2 and I'm trying to add a ringtone from my computer. I got it into the audio file but I don't know how to from their into my ringtone file. Is it possible? THANKS!!
Hi Jose! I have been binging your content on flip phones these days, and all the videos are very insightful. Thank you, and please keep going :) I live in Canada, and unlike in the US, there are very limited options available for flip phones (dumbphones). The most accessible phones are the Alcatel Go Flip 3 and the ZTE Cymbal 2. In your expert opinion, what would you recommend to someone like me who wants to buy a flip phone for nostalgia's sake and expect some functionality like 4g for Hotspot connection and WhatsApp for text and voice call (and linking it to your desktop version)? Ideally, I would have wanted to buy the Kyocera Dura XV, but C$300 seems to be a bit of a stretch for not a daily driver. Again, thank you for your content. Cheers!
I say it’s good for Grandparents who don’t need to much on there phones my father been using this brand over 5 yrs he says he only needs a phone to use and make calls that’s all he doesn’t text or use for internet
Could someone tell me if they were able to unlock their device with T-mobile, they have not been able to tell me how to do it over the phone, they always end up giving me instructions whose menu does not appear in settings, it is frustrating, I gave the device as a gift for an older adult to use and still hasn't can solve. When trying to enter a chip from another operator, it asks me for the unlock code which they do not provide me, they tell me that it is through the network, but that route of steps cannot be followed since it is surely for another device and not for the flip and there is no tutorial on the internet either, which they should have, I went to a couple of service centers and they don't help there, everything is done by phone, but by phone, they get desperate and end up hanging up on you.
I somehow found a Alcatel Go Flip 3 which doesn’t have any carrier bloat. Boots up to a Alcatel logo when first powered on, whereas a carrier bloat model, would have the carrier’s logo at power on.
What are your thoughts about psudo dead os es of past like BB10, symbian ,windows 10 mobile etc. And your thought about finding the perfect of the features and simplicity in a phone .
I have a review of BB10 on the Z30 on my reviews playlist. I will be doing a Symbian review later this year with the 808. I think that there are some companies that are very close to prime digital minimalism features and balance, but we haven't gotten there yet. I think my favorite ones are Sunbeam F1 and the Light Phone 2 for fully minimal experiences, and for a more customized one, AGM devices or Schok Classic are great options for those who need extra features!

Better than Android, but not great either. They don’t require you sign in into anything, so it’s a plus, but they do collect data (you can turn it off though).
I hope they fixed their short battery life. Got a new battery and after 6 months the same problem of holding a charge came back. Had it charging overnight and that morning the phone didn’t show charged. Had to drive with it plugged up. 👎
Beware Go Flip 3 owners. When I was forced to upgrade the KaiOs Store the Contacts App no longer functions. This happened to me on two brand new phones. The only fix was to do a factory reset and then NEVER open the KaiOS Store.....if you do it forces a restart and upgrade. So now I can no longer add apps!!!!!
@@whocares3701 It was fully updated and functioned well for almost a year untill the app store was updated.......after that the contacts no longer worked. This happened on another brand new go flip 3. All worked well till the app store updated then contacts would not work. The only solution for both phones was a factory reset then not opening the app store. Did this not happen on your go flip 3?
My wife and I have this device on Tmobile. Mine works fine and hers is slow as can be. We tried a reset but that did not help things. I looked for tech support or help, but was unable to find any. Are we out $100?
Is there another feature phone that can be connected with T-Mobile? I’ve tried out the go flip 3 & my experience with it was fine. Made calls & texts fine but was curious about any other feature phone I could use that’s compatible with T-Mobile.
There are plenty. Please check the filter tool I made and you can place there T-mobile and it will sort them out: www.josebriones.org/dumbphones Schok Classic, SNapfone devices, AGM devices, there are more. Check them at the tool :)
You mentioned adding a subject when trying to group text on KaiOS. I can’t find info of this anywhere so maybe you can help. I have a Nokia 2720 and anytime I receive group texts, they come in individually and I can only respond individually. Is there ANY way to fix this on the Nokia? If not, is this fixed on other versions of KaiOS on other flip phones? Please let me know. (WhatsApp is not an option for my coworkers.)
Good thing that here doesn't have any carrier locking so KaiOS devices (mainly Nokia and some local brand) can go freely here but in exchange that non sense expensive price It even beat my main smartphone price lel

Well the Go flip 3 has Kai Store, TH-cam and 2 other apps that are all bloatware to me.

I wish I would have just gone with the Nuu F4L and I probably will before too long as I just can;t stand this Go Flip 3.
I like my Go Flip 3. Use it with US Mobile. I got mine on eBay used for $20. US Mobile actually sells the Nuu F4L. I’ll probably get that when the Alcatel breaks.
All of them. Sorry for the rant. It just frustrates me that they have different models haha. The main issue is: they need to make one model that works for every carrier. That’s it.
