Thank you so much for reviewing this flip phone. Reviews on Verizon are terrible for any simple flip phone, and I need information. lol I am a senior, elder sounds more respectful to me, but I am switching/adding a flip phone for the purpose of not worrying about it being stolen in the markets, etc. and for use in certain camping areas where if it is lost, I can afford to replace it. So thank you for the information so much. You are concise and have a pleasant voice. Going over features is also appreciated. Really, it's sad to learn that Verizon places these smaller flip phones on low call priority on their network. It is not just seniors who use them. They are easy to slip into pockets and as a woman, there are times I definitely do not want to take my purse. Purses get stolen. Most smartphones do not fit in pockets comfortably. :) Take care and God Bless.

Thank you, Lazlo, for posting this review. I got a flip phone for my brother. He isn't online, wanted nothing to do with technology but I finally got him to get a phone since there are virtually no pay phones around any longer. And his daughter and I want to be able to reach him and he needs a phone for himself and safety. I've only had smart phones so this flip phone was new to me and I needed help. Since he only wants to call out and receive calls, this is perfect for him. You didn't go over setting up voice mail, but I think I can do that. Thanks again.

In the video notes is a link to the manual and that can assist you in setting up voice mail. I think with verizon you dial *86 to get access to voice mail.

I found this phone NOT to be good for seniors. I bought it for my elderly mom and there are too many problems to list. She had an old flip phone that is 3G and will be obsolete soon. I also bought her the Jitterbug and while it is easy to use it runs on the Verizon network, but it has low priority on their network so the calls are crap. Any suggestions for an easy flip phone would be appreciated.

Thanks for the review. I have an Orbic flip phone. The first one Verizon gave me didn't hold a charge more than 2 days. The replacement worked for about a month. Now it loses its charge overnight. I had a flip phone for 15 years that worked fine. The only reason to change was that it didn't work on 4G and was always going out of cell service. How can I make this phone hold its charge? I only call and text, and not often at that.

Question: I set a lock on my Orbic flip phone and it asks me to unlock it every few minutes when it goes to sleep. Where can I set the time limit for keeping the phone unlocked. My kids decided I needed a flip phone because they were worried when they couldn't call or reach me on my smart phone and it would go to voice mail. I am adjusting and waiting for them to call or reach me anytime. LOL So goes the story of a mother's contact with kids who lead busy lives.

Thanks a Bunch! You’re right, yours is the only YT clip for this #OrbicV phone I found! The phone’s surprisingly advanced for an old folks FLIP-PHONE. Can’t wait to TRY to teach him. That’ll be FUN! Verizon can’t Port his number, to 1 if my old working LG phones either. That’s now $99. Or 2 yrs at $3.33/month for us . So we just had to buy him this OrbucV. -bummer. My 83 y/o Brother-in-Law LOST his phone & Verizon TOLD ME, they can’t Ping it, even tho’ we kinda KNOW, it’s lost somewhere in his house; he hasn’t actually left his house in 5 weeks w CoViD2 out there. Anyway, so glad you’ve made this Video. Otherwise, I’d have to spend 2 hours trying to teach him. WELL DONE 👍

Lazlo -Oh my gosh! You’re so right! My brother-in-law is an electrical engineer & he adored the Internet & could have taught me a thing or two 15 years ago. But today, he’s lost with the CROWDED MENUS & pages. Funny you mention Microsoft Windows! He insisted on an HP desktop (I hoped he’d go with Mac). WELL! We sat there for hours, just trying to set his PC up! It’s a pity. Now, the only thing he does in his HP is read email & if he doesn’t get frustrated, occasionally he can “Search” with IE. I was an Apple person back in the 80-90’s. Then had 3 PC’s. Once they messed-up Internet Explorer & we needed security patches every week, I WENT BACK TO APPLE. And the ONLY SEARCH ENGINE I USE, is DuckDuckGo. Since doing this, I haven’t had 1 frozen screen & no annoying pop-ups. I’ve diverted from the phone problem, but your comment about MS Windows really got me going. I thought about the Jitterbug for him, but he does love taking photos & I’m pretty sure, Jitterbug didn’t have a camera. BUT THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! I’m making sure he watches it before we open the Verizon OJV phone.

Another advantage of a flip phone is that the construction of it makes for better/easier hearing than the flat smart phones. Also, a thing to consider when addressing older folks (of which I am one) is that words are easier to follow that icons. What makes sense to a teenager or 20-something programmer does not necessarily make sense to a 70+year old.

I just got one today. I had a ZTE flip phone from Tracfone. Then Verizon bought them and I had trouble getting on the website to add minutes. So the first big change was reduced service. Half the time it wouldn't recognize my log-in. Then they said they were discontinuing the network and I had to upgrade to a G4 phone. they'll send me a free one. After using more than a half hour of my phone time fighting Verizon's poor connection and shouting repeatedly back and forth over the static, (I tried doing it on line, but they didn't recognize my log-in. Again) I finally managed to get the info across and they sent me an O(r)bit Journey V. Unlike my ZTE, it has a tiny battery, a tiny screen and no touch screen. The latest change from Verizon, along with inferior service and connections, is a downgrade to an inferior phone. I've been thinking that they're deliberately trying to drive me to a different company. It may be working.

When typing in my email address, how do I type a capital letter? Normally on the left softkey you can change to get the caps, but I don't see this on google email. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Push the * button bottom left for capital letter, push again for lower case.

My dad can't figure out how to set this flip phone to readout incoming text. Is this phone capable of doing this? I can't find it anywhere. His previous phone had this function.

The directions supplied with the unit look flimsy, minimal and are not reviewed. How is one supposed to know/learn the features of this phone? What's the plan?
