Title: Business Phone
Review: I got this phone as a business phone, so I’m only making a few texts/calls every day. I can’t relate to anyone who uses this more often… but I will say I’d feel for them.So this phone is great, I’ll start with that, but it definitely has tons of flaws (but it’s also really cheap, so expect them?) For one, it’s very sensitive! Anything you glance at and it opens/closes the app. You could be in the middle of typing and gently touch the home button and you’re there.Another thing is the speed. It is very laggy. I know it’s 4G, so I don’t expect it to be great…. but it’s impossible to use sometimes. Patience is necessary.Good things about the phone are that it comes with a phone case. It’s very easy to setup. It’s perfect for business purposes. It works with Mint and I’m assuming others. It can take a few beatings. I have had 0 issues with it to date. And I love the smaller more mobile size of it. Highly recommend.

Title: Stay away from Alcatel!
Review: This phone is the worst piece of garbage I’ve ever bought in my entire life! Much like a similar reviewer stated my phone broke and I needed a quick affordable replacement. So I purchased this phone and it is so slow and frustrating I don’t like the operating system set up by Alcatel. Every one of their products has problems. I have a flip phone that gives me nothing but troubles and when I opened up the back and looked at the battery of course it said Alcatel! I also had an Alcatel tablet which I borrowed from my brother-in-law. Also garbage! Do not waste your money on this phone! I just bought a Moto g stylus for $60. It’s an amazing phone it has 128 GB of memory and the top Android software and I spent less than $20 more than this piece of garbage Alcatel. I will never buy another Alcatel product for the rest of my life!

Title: Alcatel 1 deficiencies
Review: Item arrived on time, I love the size & it’s reasonably priced for a dual sim unlocked phone. However, I noticed that the global time feature does not work & the battery drains fast, so it might be a good idea to include an extra battery in your purchase or hopefully the manufacturer will consider selling it w/ a spare battery.Calls kept going to voicemail instead of ringing. I returned the phone for replacement of the same. If the replacement has the same defects, then I will have to return it & look for another unlocked dual sim smartphone & change my rating.I’m hoping that it’s just the one I got that’s defective.Replacement arrived much earlier than originally stated. The global time on the replacement works this time, however, it still keeps on going to Voicemail. If I’m unable to make this ring w/ the help of IT support, this phone is going back again bec. it’s important not to miss a call especially when it’s important.

Title: If you need a phone for basic tasks, this works
Review: Good value, is would be completely usable as a backup phone, or as a quick fix for if you need a phone that just works and comes with no bloatware, when it comes to size, it is a bit small when compared to any modern phone, though it is really easy to work on as it has a removable battery and easily accessible SIM card slots and an SD card slot to expand the storage, it came unlocked to my knowledge, though I haven’t tested it with a US sim yet, the screen could be better quality, but for what I paid, which I think was about $40 USD, it is good enough for what I need, though when you compare it to even a A51 from Samsung, you can see a difference, it will play YouTube decently well as long as it is playing at 480p or less, it can do 720p, though it struggles a lot. Overall a good budget phone.

Title: Update to first review
Review: Updating the review below. I taught myself a lesson: don’t take minimal passes as success. The first observations are still valid, but sobered by experience. Getting to know this item I found it to be, in a word, CRAP for daily use. Oh let me count the ways. 1)Touch screen is irratic. It either doesn’t react to a tap or goes off on its own if just brushed. No change no matter what I do in settings, so it’s useless for browsing. 2) Phone drags to connect to Internet, change pages, etc. Maddening to try to read news or an article. NOT just “relatively” slow. 3) Battery life is a joke!! While it charges well and holds charge if left alone, JUST DON’T USE IT! In even browsing it east charge. Will go from 100 to 80% in less than an hour. And once it gets down to 40% you’re toast. Not what I need for even “go phone” use. I’m keeping it as an in the drawer, purely last resort bandaid in case disaster strikes with everything else. Have a different small phone coming that will go through a full check list and stay if it really passes. If not it goes back – don’t need another drawer phone.First review below:Okay, it’s a model a few years old, still runs android 10, lacks built-in widgets, and is relatively slow. BUT, it’s exactly what I needed as a second “go phone” rather than my main line. AND it is an unlocked smart phone that really is unlocked and accommodates a reseller network (Consumer Cellular). Setup was a snap: inserted my new SIM and logged in with my Google account. The phone and Consumer Cellular did the rest including importing my contacts. I just had to disable a few pre-installed, and a couple of must haves out of Google Play, and done. As George Carlin would say, a smaller portable place for my stuff. If you’re looking for frills, not your phone. But it’s great for basic utility.
