AlcatelGo Flip 3 4GB 512MB RAM 4052W-2AALUS3 US Version - Black

Alcatel Go Flip 3 4GB 512MB RAM 4052W-2AALUS3 US Version - Black from Besiyata DishmayaI wanted a simple phone that could make and receive phone calls without required locking the phone to a username and password like Androids and iPhones. It had to support 4G LTE, since all phone networks are ending support for phones without LTE.I received the Go Flip 3 4052Z phone which is the version sold by Metro by T-Mobile. The Metro by T-Mobile branding comes up on boot. According to the BananaHackers site: The name differs according to the telephone operator (4052R, 4052C, 4052W, 4052Z…) but they are practically always the same phone.WiFi calling can be configured as preferred, for better call quality from home. WiFi is 2.4GHz only. LTE bands 2/4/5/12/25/26/41/66/71. It covers all of T-Mobile's network, as well as Sprint bands that are likely to added to the T-Moble network. A headphone can be connected to a jack or paired via Bluetooth.The phone accepted my Red Pocket Mobile GSMT SIM. The display scrolls the network as Red Pocket. It is likely that any T-Mobile MVNO SIM will work in this phone. While some of the bands will also support ATT, I suggest that selecting another phone if you will not be using the US T-Mobile network.

My mom finally is very happy. She said answer and close a call is easy, finally a phone without the locking buttons to push (optional) to make calls. She hasn't tech skills. The next thing will be to explain to her how to use the google assistance. Useful feature since she has memory issues. (Keep you posted about it)Cons: If the internet is connected, the battery runs out in about 6hrs and sometimes after using youtube or google assistance, I noticed the ph keep running the app. So I cleaned up but my mom will not remember how to do it :(Overall great phone for seniors, with internet, google assistant, whatsapp

The phone that seller is selling is not a 4052W. Though the box had a bar code sticker that stated 4052W, the model number on the box was 4052Z or 40527. When I opened the box, there was no manual. The front of the phone had a covering on the display but the corner was coming off. The back of the phone was off. Found the back of the phone along with the battery and charger in the bottom of the box. None of these items were wrapped, just laying there. You think I was suspicious. You bet!!!!There was a sim card already in the phone but there was no indication as to what network provider the sim card was on. Bottom line, the phone is being returned. If you buy from this vendor, you'll be very disappointed as I was.

This phone is absolutely terrible. The software to do anything is very poorly designed. If you buy it you'll see what I mean. Very low end quality in every way.

These phones have been great so far for my family on T-Mobile. They make versions with slightly different model numbers for several other cell phone companies, so make sure you're getting the right one for your carrier. They are much easier to hold up to your ear than a smartphone, and the speakerphone volume is loud and clear for when you want to use that. The keypad feels well-made, and is easy to see the backlit numbers on. The KaiOS operating system adds a little more capability than previous 'dumbphones'. As we've used the phones over the past couple weeks, the battery life has been very impressive so far.
