  • Should you buy the Alcatel Go Flip in 2019? Today I will answer that question and tell you about my experience with the phone. Using a flip phone in 2019 is difficult, but I did it...kind of.

    I keep seeing people talk about how bad the camera is and how it can't run apps and bla bla bla. It's funny as hell you youngsters no nothing about not having a phone in your pocket at all times and having to use payphones or the home phone to make a call.

      I’m 14 and I’m tired of excessive consumerism and people staring at their smartphones all day. I’m saving up for this phone by working hard and shoveling snow. I think it depends on how you are raised. Sadly, not many kids are raised to have gratitude and work ethic.

    This model might be one I might have in 10 years. I still have 2 LF L4N flips, one being current phone. This line is pretty much discontinued these days. Still holding out for a miracle before getting a new L4N Model as current 2 still work well.

    This camera is like notepad for quickly make photo of needed text - cafe menu, some train scheduler, some phones on billboards... It is very useful even with such bad camera, my mom has similar phone with bad camera but very often use it like notepad! Even write something on paper then make photo because paper may be lost, and all need information will be on phone

      @@kimpossible6320 You can send a text to their service BALANCE to check your remaining minutes. Though if I remember, the tracfone version of the phone tries to make you buy the unlimited plan, which is the most price efficient.
