TCL Go Flip 2 4058G 8GB Factory Unlocked 4G LTE GSM Smart Flip Phone (Renewed)

This phone is ideal for those who just want minimal capabilities of calling in/out and texting. Phone keeps up with the latest network speeds. Buttons are tactile and smooth. It comes unlocked so I am able to use a pay as you go plan. There is a guaranteed quality with refurbished products and so I am pleased with the product especially for the price. I do not use the other applications (email, etc) as those are better suited to be used on tablets/smart phones anyways. Prefer the durability and compact size of a flip phone style.

Hubby and I were looking for a dumbphone for our digital detox without spending too much money. After some research, we decided on this one—the TCL Flip 2. It’s not the Alcatel My Flip 2 (or something like that). They are similar but not the same. I dare say this one is better because it runs on Android, whereas the other, as far as I know, uses the KaIOS system. Since it’s an Android phone, I had doubts about whether it was truly a dumbphone. To my surprise, it actually is. This phone doesn’t have the Play Store, so you can’t simply download apps and end up failing your digital detox. It’s a very limited device, but it still provides enough technology to function in daily life. I believe it’s made of plastic, which is great because I don’t have to worry about breaking glass or damaging aluminum. I’d say the material is decent and serves its purpose well. It’s lightweight, even though it has two parts (it’s a flip phone, after all). It supports 4G, WiFi, and Bluetooth, allows group text messaging, and even displays emojis (which many dumbphones don’t). The call quality is just as good as my iPhone 13 Pro, text messages work as they should, and it functions with Mint Mobile (so I assume it also works with T-Mobile, since Mint uses their network). You can even insert an SD card and listen to music. It has a headphone jack, but you can also use wireless earbuds thanks to its Bluetooth capability. The battery is amazing—it lasts about 3 to 4 days, depending on usage. It has a browser, but it’s inconvenient to use—which I love because I don’t want to waste time mindlessly scrolling on a screen. Hubby and I love this phone. I just wish it had maps and at least WhatsApp. Because of this, I carry my smartphone when I need navigation and check WhatsApp on my laptop. I know you can customize it using apps from Apps4Flip.com, but I still don’t know how to do that. I think it’s a great device for the price, and if you’re more tech-savvy than I am, you can probably get even more out of it. The seller, EKings (I think that’s the name, but if not, it’s something similar), was really good. The seller you choose on the Amazon Renewal Store makes a difference, and I recommend this one. They shipped it quickly, and the packaging was excellent—every piece was carefully stored separately in the box, which I really appreciated. I believe it wasn’t eligible for free returns, but since I don’t intend to return it, I can’t comment on that aspect. I’m completely satisfied and highly recommend it! Check out the photos and video for reference, and give a like if you enjoyed my review.

Is not compatible with all phone plans. Not truly unlocked is still tied to TracFone blocking Wi-Fi calling as an option also not Android at all it is running kaiOs to zero app store 0 YouTube 0 Pandora anything that was listed as a possibility this was supposed to be a smart dumb phone not completely useless was way overcharged for what I got I could have got this at the dollar store for like 10 bucks would give it zero Stars if I could do not buy

I updated my iPhone to iOS 18 and experienced severe headaches. So much so, the device became unusable and have been unable to use a smart phone since. I purchased this phone as a last resort, and it worked out for me (praise God). I was able to insert my sim into this phone, and it worked in a matter of seconds. Coming from a smart phone, this phone is extremely basic, but it does what it's supposed to do. I am able to make calls, text, add my music, and I use the calendar and stopwatch feature time to time. The picture quality is poor, and I was unable to link my email successfully to the phone. I rarely text ever now (due to it taking so long to key) but I am able to if needed. However, the sound quality is fair, the calls are crisp, and I can play my music. So, it has its pros and cons. But for the price and for what I can do it's a good phone. I would recommend. Oh yea, the battery life is good too. I can go probably two days w/o a charge. But take in account, I'm rarely on my phone like that anymore. But overall, if you're looking for a work phone, back up phone or just have unfortunate situation, I recommend.

It’s been such a good phone, only complaint is speaker isn’t that loud. Aside from that, all good. Battery is ridiculous, won’t have to charge for days at a time.

A very standard, old fashioned flip phone. I bought it to keep in my car as an extra phone for when I don't feel like traveling with my smart phone or for emergencies in the case of an accident. Nothing really stands out as being amazing, likewise nothing stands out as a deal breaker. Its sturdy and easy to use. You can't go wrong for the price if you are getting an emergency phone, a phone for a senior, or a child. But the battery life is pretty bad for a flip phone - at least mine was. The built in apps for music and podcasts are also kind of bad, which is another hit against it. I have seen flip phones with decent music applications, and this is not one of them.

Got this to get rid of my smart phone. It texts, it calls, nothing else. You can set up your email but I decided not to. It has group texting and a mobile hotspot for when I need to use an app on my smart phone to pay to park or etc. It's perfect. Works with t-mobile and mint. Calls sound much better than my smart phone. The button on the outside with the picture of a phone is a way to answer the phone when you're driving or can't open the phone, it automatically puts the call on speaker which I thought was nifty. Battery lasts days. Granted, I don't use my phone much anymore because there's nothing on it, not even games, so I forget to charge it and the battery will only be about half or so. Quickly charges too. Never use the camera but it's there, can even zoom in with it. There's T9 texting or predictive text which is actually pretty reliable. Switching from a smart phone to this has impacted my life greatly. My screen time is down from an average of 3 hours a day to less than 20, if that. Buy it if you're looking to rid your life of a smart phone and reduce your screen time.

Yes, I’m very happy with this phone. I bought it to use internationally and everything works perfectly. I bought it for a farmer who always keeps his phone in his pocket and keeps switching it off and making calls by mistake, people could never get through to him previously, so the flip top prevents it from doing that. I’m planning to buy another one, for myself. Very good value for money.
