Alcatel Go Flip 3 Full Review - Futuristic 2019 Flip Phone

[@lk1393]

I'm also in my 30s, but the problem with my slider phone (sony ericsson w995) is that Rogers is going to stop supporting the 1900 MHz network it runs on, coming July 2021. Looking into other carriers, but I think every company will go this route by 2025. So despite the love, I feel like my hand is being forced =(.

About 5 years ago my parents reluctantly got smartphones because ATT didn’t offer flip phones at the time. They really did not want smartphones but their flip phones were dying on them.

There are still decent flip phones out there but those are usually not produced in and/or not marketed for western markets. In China and Japan for example flip phones are still pretty common and regional brands produce them.

How do you like mint mobile? I’m thinking about switching because it’s $15 a month, do they add any hidden charges? Like Verizon will charge you a plan rate then add on a big fee for having a smartphone account

[@TechOdyssey]

@@oliviagreen8853 I like mint mobile. It's been very good to me. I've had their service for over 3 years. You pay what you see for pricing. No extra stuff like version or other carriers with all of their fees and charges. Also it uses the T-Mobile network which is very good.

[@soo5985]

@@oliviagreen8853 Honestly, I didn't notice any difference between Mint and TMobile. I was living in HI and the service was the same. Now I live on the east coast and have not had any issues with service. There haven't been hidden charges that ive seen. I just paid for the entire year and called it a day. I would recommend it. But I know some parts of the country, VZW seems to be the only one to get service. So I'd check the coverage maps and go from there.

I have to say the voice assistant and voice to text is remarkable. I think I'm sold. About the only qualm I have is there is no dedicated CLR key, which seems really unusual.

[@TechOdyssey]

Yeah. That is odd. I noticed that too when I was using the phone. Threw me off at first but you kind of get used to it. Not sure what the reasoning was behind that.

[@sorcerykid]

@@TechOdyssey Thanks for the reply. Out of curiosity, do you know what the difference between the Go Flip 3, Go Flip V, SmartFlip, and My Flip are? Is there like a chart somewhere that shows the feature comparisons? Is it carrier dependent? I've seen some reviews where there is no voice to text and some where there is no app stores. It seems a bit confusing to sort out what you actually get.

[@sorcerykid]

@@TechOdyssey I think I figured it out. There's definitely no logical consistency to how they branded these phones. But there's basically just two models. - AT&T's SmartFlip, T-Mobile's Go Flip 3, and TracFone's Go Flip 3 are the same. Both have Google Assistant and the app store. - T-Mobile's Go Flip 4044W, AT&T's Cingular Flip 2, and TracFone's MyFlip, and Verizon's Go Flip V are the same.

Thank you for the very thorough review! I'm an "Elder Millennial" (I'm in my late 30s), and I have come to *despise* smart phones. My generation has been blessed to have owned flip phones in our late teens, and soon after, we had the privilege of owning one of the several awesome feature phones that followed. Here we are, in 2021, and I remember and *long for* those days where I was independent from constant internet influence and app interruption / distraction. (... I don't think GenZ has any idea how tied down they really are. But they don't know any different. Poor kids...) If they start making phones like the Alcatel Go Flip 3 -- but with all these features *and* a QWERTY keyboard -- I would be in absolute phone heaven. Alcatel, pay attention to your Millennials! We want ... no -- we *NEED* phones like this, but with a physical QWERTY pad. For now, I guess I will see if this one suits me.

I went back to a feature phone almost three years ago. Started on a Go Flip, went to the new Nokia 3310 and now I just got the Go Flip 3. I had to use an iPhone 6 for like a week and a half until I got the new flip and I couldn't stand it, I really don't like having a smartphone as my main phone. I love being disconnected. The one issue I find with all feature phones is the lack of a good camera. I understand we buy these phones to be disconnected, but I would pay for a $150-200 flip phone that was basically just the Go Flip 3, but with a high-quality camera and a bit better display. I don't use any internet features, but I wanna take some photos still. If a company did this, they'd have my money in an instant.

[@dragonflysparrow8460]

Same here! I feel the same way. I would definitely pay "smart phone prices" for a feature phone that doesn't have all the connectivity, but one that had all the quality, such as a nice camera and a qwerty keyboard, along with it having VoLTE compatibility. This type of phone would be ideal.

It has been dropped or fell out of pockets without harm.I decided it is wasteful to keep trying to maintain a thing that is not for me, I broke two smart phone screens (that's 160 dollars wasted not even including minutes I paid for) First time I was rollerskating, second time just doing the dishes. I love the case and sturdiness of these things and ther's no shadow block from a big flat square shape, cause the flip phone is a sleek more rectangular shape and to me that is better for photographs, and I do not need a selfie mode cause I mostly want to take pictures of weird stuff I find or of nature. Also this wall of text was made due to a home computer being availible to my jackass, the inconvience of typing on a flip phone has led to me being slightly less annoying to everyone in my personal and professional life, (until I get my turn on this computer then I am gonna keep typing and typing and typing and oh lets go to annagramm server typing and typing and typing and typing THirty more emails just for you baby and a novel about did I remember to take out the trash..

Messing around with recents I accidentally called a friend and realized there is no intuitive visual cue as to how to _stop_ the call. I mean, it _IS_ a phone right? I haven't gotten any phone calls yet and I'm still not clear how to answer it. I would assume that the side button adjusts volume, but it didn't seem to be making any difference in real time.

Can you use Uber on it??

I am getting this for my Birthday!

[@TechOdyssey]

Nice! I hope you like it. Happy early birthday!

Thanks!

How does this handle group messages? I know that one problem when I tried switching to a flip phone was the bombarding of messages...

[@bassb450]

How do you import your contacts from another phone into this phone? Does it have a import contact feature from a sim or sd card? This info would be helpful in a review.

[@vividly648]

I saw u recording on a Note 10.

[@TechOdyssey]

Yup. That’s what I record all of my videos with. Good eye.

[@na2154]

TechOdyssey I need 1 of these. I do not need the newest tech, I’m on an iPhone 7. Any 4G LTE flip phone will do...

[@woke1497]

Flip phones can be great. Just with the latest tech. Not everyone wants to carry a heavy wide phone all day. 🤭

[@TechOdyssey]

They definitely still have a place in people's pockets. Some people still really prefer them.

[@nikkyyoung2338]

Exactly I agree.... I'll be getting a flip phone soon

[@steviefranchize21]

Can this phone automatically answer in the loud speaker option when flipped open?

[@TechOdyssey]

I don't think so but I don't have the phone anymore to test that out. I believe you have to answer it first and then enable the loud speaker

[@sk8poompers]

Does anyone know if this phone as any parental control settings or the ability to block using specific apps like the AppStore or the WebBrowser?

cool! they could've at least placed an optical trackpad instead of a huge ok button since it features online connectivity. still I like it. similar to my old samsung gt-s3353 but this is more stylish and classic! oh the old days, when you are out of town, battery goes bye bye, pop in a fully charged battery backup and you are back on track, no need for power banks. :D

Any music player...? Spotify or Amazon Music?

[@ATTORNEY380]

it had sound cloud. but i use youtube

[@kent.smallville1260]

Built in Music Player for your locally stored music, either on your phone or on the optional MicroSD card. Believe Spotify has been added to the KaiOS App Store but not Amazon Music. You'd have to download Amazon Music to your computer first (convert to MP3 if needed) then transfer to your MicroSD card.

[@sebastiandewolfe7849]

I am seriously considering moving to a flip phone. I am wondering which brand has the best connectivity, as I do not have home internet, and would use it to tether to my PC for web access. Also, is there a flip phone with a solid cover that will not break if dropped?

[@davetv72]

Does it sync your Google contacts?

[@TechOdyssey]

Yes. You just need to login to your Google account on the phone and it will import them

[@DrMerle-gw4wj]

Recently bought one and for the most part I like it. Only problem, texting is too difficult using the phone numerical keys. Bought a bluetooth keyboard from Boxwave, supposedly specially for the Go Flip 3 but it does not work with the Go Flip 3. No information available on using bluetooth keyboards with this phone.

[@saxmusicmail]

I tried a "smart phone"... too large for my shirt pockets. And by the time I swipe, answer, the caller has hung up. With my flip, which I'm about to replace with this one, I can fish it out with thumb and forefinger, flip open with my thumb, press the green button with my thump, all one handed. And I don't need "apps". I have a computer. I don't do games. But I do a lot of things with my computer I can't do with a smart phone... music notation program, Excell spreadsheets, etc. I use my computer as a computer, and my phone, I just want a plain phone. KISS. And at one time I had a rubber armored phone... rugged!

When using Google Maps how efficient is it ? Do the directions play out loud and does the screen move with you like a smartphone would? Thank you for any response regarding my questions

[@flexsez]

No they do not play out loud, they only appear turn by turn on screen so you have to watch your phone really close which is hard on the small screen.

Great video but will it work with wireless headphones (I saw it had a Bluetooth setting) and does the KaiOS App Store have a podcasts app that I can use to listen to my podcasts? That’s the main thing that’s holding me back from going back to a flip phone. Thanks!

[@TechOdyssey]

Yes it will. Totally overlooked that. Sorry. I just paired my Bluetooth earbuds with it and tested them with KZbin. Works like a champ.

[@TechOdyssey]

Let me check for the podcast app but I don’t remember seeing one.

THREE New Flip Phones from T-Mobile for End of 2021 !! For Sept. and/or Oct. 2021: An Alcatel Go Flip 4* with a listed Talk Time of 12.7 Hours! (1850 mAh Battery). Plus, 2 Rugged Flips with Android 11 OS: Sonim XP3 Plus, and a CAT S22 (the CAT flip phone has touch-screen functions, along with a keypad). This is where my sitting on the fence to replace my old Sprint Kyocera 3G Flip by the end of 2021 has paid off! More Choices! For me, simpler is better, (along with longer battery life!) -- so, depending on real-life reviews, I'm leaning toward the Go Flip 4*. Happy Simplification, everyone!

[@shellamonterrosa]

Thanks. Does the phone have a Spanish text mode? If I want to text a message in Spanish, does it have the features (prediction text) for that?

[@Mina22monte]

Can this connect to Bluetooth earbuds? I want a flip phone but I can't give up Spotify music🎶

[@blakegressen9260]

i have the same question! listening to podcasts and music is (sadly) a must have for me! it does look like at around 8:37 that their is blutooth capability

[@kent.smallville1260]

No Spotify App for KaiOS phones & it's not looking like Spotify will relent, especially since they crippled/degraded their web player. While convenient, Spotify has been caught sending personal & financial data to FceBk w/o permission, so yeah, not a big fan of Spotify. I'd rather use the built in radio -- a neat trick the Alcatel flip phones can do is you don't need to use wired headphones, you can just plug an auxillary cord which acts as the antenna, then connect via Bluetooth to a Bluetooth Speaker. Or just load like a 16Gb microSD card full of music/podcasts --- that gives you roughly 145 hours of audio entertainment (are you really gone from a tablet, laptop, computer or home stereo for that long?). While Alcatel has had Bluetooth-capable flip-phones since the 3G era (the GoFlip 3 has Bluetooth 4.2), your best be would be to see if the handful of AndroidOS Flip Phones (keeping in mind most all are tightly locked down & do not allow installation of Apps) might be able to have other Apps installed, those would be the Samsung Galaxy Folder 2 (but you're stuck on Android 6 Marshmallow), NUU Mobile F4L LTE and the Schok Classic.
