Yeh, my daughter is rough on cell phones. So for a black friday we got her this one. For some reason the one she has now cannot accept calls. Don't know why, plus the screen has a cover on it that has been cracked about 3 times. So with her at college she needs something, but not something we would worry about if she lost it.
I got mine at HSN for $40 and it included 1500 minutes, texts, and internet
I have the TCL A3X and desperately need help on how to transfer apps to SD card like Genshin impact amd have no idea how can't find a way
I used to have that phone but it's not work so I got another one
If you buy this you are a foooooooollllllllllll and a dummmyyyyyy
I got this phone for freeeeeeee from the government free shitty phone but I would not pay 30cents for it cheap shit but freeeeeeee is freeeeeeeeee texting from this shitty phone now
I'm using this phone rn as an emergency backup, until I get a new phone. This phone is garbage and my notifications never come through, you get what you pay for with this phone
And i crashes
The speaker suck more that a speaker from wish
Yes guys how can u take pitcure with that pile of trash
This was an incredibly well done review!! Do you need to activate the phone to join WiFi and download games or music platforms? Just curious, I need a cheap way to entertain a kid.
This phone is terrible! It's slow doesn't respond, takes forever to open apps or load anything off the internet. Reception is the worst! Shows 4 out of 5 bars for 4g but you would think this was 1995 with how slow it loads. You have to press multiple time for it to register. Most of the time letters on the keyboard don't work. I have two letters that require me to smash the screen to register even tho it is a digital keyboard. There is virtually no space on this phone as half of the 32 gigs is used up by the OS. I can't wait to break this home in a million pieces and mail it back to TCL. Such a piece of crap, it should be sold.for $15 bucks cause thats bout all it's worth.
Gonna buy one for a relative to load up with VLC media player so they have a decent MP3 player to use around the house. (most dedicated MP3 players are terrible these days)
Is the battery strong on this?
The battery in these starts to fail, rather quickly. I didn't pay for it, so it's not earth shaking. I've seen it sold on eBay for as little as $39. You can't expect much.
my daughter is 6, it works fine for her 😇
I already have that phone
I got mine for free from Obama fone guys
That's the phone I'm using
what s mean lock when i going to buy on amazon?
Idk why but I feel like watching reviews of these I have this phone and another one both blue and from TracFone the others turned off I can reactivate it whenever but I pay for my blue view 2 only right now.....both are great screens hd and watching my DVD charmed on here the one season is so hd and great being able to play music and movies and all on phones and all that is so nice I was desperate for another phone and I've been using blu view 2 for the past few months every phone has some lags or some problems to each they're own but is this worth the 100 something......HELL YES ESPECIALLY the colorful acreens and crispness I cannot complain I love my blue smart phones!!!! Still great and def affordable then paying a grand and like 400 for a phone bill or 200 that's a rip off when you can pay 50 or 60 for unlimited everything!!!!!! I love my phones and blue view 2 is so nice I love it!!!!!!!
E mail color changed can't set it back to gray
Does this phone led light
Believe it or not this phone still getting security updates to this day.
Got mine for 8 dollars and its fun to record videos and throw it at the wall
I'm having trouble getting it started. I can get to the point where you put all the numbers in but then it ask for a password and I don't know what to do.
I was on my motorized bicycle and I had my phone on a car cell phone holder on my bike looked up for one second but back down the phone had fell off I have a speedometer odometer app well by the time I got to the house I realized it fell off and I went back it was gone I went three times back and forth and then a quarter mile and somebody must have seen me drop it and pick it up well need the phone asap I went and got this blue for 30 bucks it's one hell of a phone but I'm used to the Nord one plus for 30 bucks yeah you get your money's worth definitely and it's a great penitentiary phone too
So how does one get from the "Lock Screen" to the "Application Folder" at 5:42. I have not set any password and wish to do so on my phone. It seems like I can just choose the icon on the right (after putting my finger on the middle bottom icon) and this "opens" the Application Folder. 6 hours, countless videos and tutorials, and hours with tech support, and they don't have the ability to explain this. Nor do they know how to get to the settings menu from the Lock Screen.
how do you change the number of rings before call goes to voicemail, mine is set at 8 rings, I'd like it to be set at 4 rings, trac tech has no idea, thank you
Every single tracfone branded device i’ve uses has had their bootloader’s locked up tight and be basically impossible to root.
Thanks so much for the information
How do you check remaining minutes? Thank you
Very similar to the old samsung phones and chrap and it has replaceable battery so it's the best offer for its money
Mine has no real bloat ware and 3gb of RAM plus it's on Android 11. Same exact phone though
I clicked on this video in hopes of figuring out how to use this thing. I've had it for almost two months and still can't figure it out. I made the huge mistake of buying it from a store that offers zero support. That was Family Dollar. It was $29 but to get it at that price I had to buy a $20 plan though to be fair they gave me $5 off that plan the first month. I had to take it home and figure out how to activate it myself. This is the very first smart phone I have ever seen up close. My old phone is a Trackfone flip phone and I've had it for four years and bought at the Walmart Clearance table for $5. I've been paying about $10 a month ever since. Prior to that I had a 1937 Western Electric model 302 but I had to toss that perfectly good phone in the trash because the county change the wiring to my mouse and it would no longer connect. I had that since 1979 when Mom gave it to me when I got my first apartment. I didn't need much in the way of service since I rarely use a phone these days. I have free unlimited internet for my laptop via a government program so the only thing I needed to use a phone for was to dial 911 or call in sick at work. I only did that once in three years so 95% of my phone usage is dialing 911 which I did twice in 2021 and once in 2020 and twice in 2019. But now my boss wants to promote me but says I need a smart phone first. It took me two weeks to figure out how to get the thing activated. It took me another two weeks to figure out how to get on the internet and then I learned really fast that I made a HUGE mistake buying this model because Trackfone does not offer unlimited data plans and I have to go through a management training program at work using my smart phone. The training program only works on smart phones and this will NOT connect to WIFI no matter what I do. So I have to either figure out why this won't connect to WIFI (keep getting a message that says "Network not secure"). Or I have to toss it in the trash and get something that I can buy an unlimited data plan. I had no idea each training module uses between 1.2 and 7 gigs of data and there are 137 I need to complete by the end of the year to complete my training. By my math that's somewhere in the neighborhood of $3000 I have to spend on data before the end of the year if I can't figure out the WIFI connection problem. Or plan B, toss this thing into the trash and get a real smart phone with an unlimited dat plan and that's expensive too, probably in the end upwards of $600+. So I came to this video hoping to learn what's going wrong with WIFI connections and I see my screen does not match the one in the video. My lock screen does not have that lock button that gives you a menu of interesting things and there is no column on the left to offer other things as well. Yes I have the Trackfone blu View 2. All I can think of is that there were different versions sold at Walmart and Family dollar and they didn't bother using a different name for the two different versions. I really don't like that they expect end users to have the knowledge of a communications engineer in order to make a basic phone call which by the way it took me almost two weeks how to figure out how to do. It shouldn't be that complicated. My flip phone only a week to figure out how to make a basic phone call. Good thing I kept the flip phone rather than toss it like I was going to. I had to use it to call Trackfone just to get them to activate the phone for me. Unfortunately by the time I discovered my data needs and figured out there was a problem with WIFI I had already purchased the 2nd month and got an 8 gig data plan for $40. outrageous since I'm used to downloading a hundred gigs of data on my laptop every day. If I relied on this phone for that I'd be spending more in a day than I get paid in a week. So now I got to figure this mess out. Thanks for posting this video but it doesn't look like it's going to be very helpful. The only real advantage of this phone though is I finally sent my first text message. "hello" I texted to my flip phone which I can't sent text messages from since there is no button for a shift key to get anything other than the letters A, D, G, J, M, P, T and W. This limits my vocabulary a lot. Oh and don't bother telling me to ask my grandchildren how to use one like the people at Walmart and Best Buy did. I don't have any nor any children and I don't actually know anyone under the age of 36. My co-workers are of no use because they laugh when I ask how to use a smart phone. I did figure out one thing, they should have called it a genius phone because it's only for people with an IQ over 160. Mine is only 123.
TracFone SUCKS! I CAN NOT PORT OUT!
Bought for my little brother (4) He loves it 👍🏼
Can you use this with the prepaid airtime cards, the 60,90,120 minutes cards?
This is not real RİGHT?
Does it have a bulit in screen recorder,
Just subscribed 👍🏻
This phone is cool and all. But as a notch hater. WE NEED 5G phones like this. I absolutely hate notchs.
A warning to everyone: I bought this phone, brand new, and it is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to open the back, to get inside and install the battery! NOTHING will pry this open, it is as it were GLUED SHUT
Hey has anyone told you you look like Malcom X
bought that phone 3 days ago and dannng what a good cheap phone i can even play call of duty hahaha.
Got this at Walmart for 25 bucks to use on U.S. Cellular. Few weeks after got approved for a free Govt cell sim card (u.s. cellular service in my area was far from impressive) and I'd heard a rumor these were unlocked. Popped the Qlink Wireless sim in and sure enough it updated the apn and everything works. What a value! Sadly not seeing to many cases available for this device though. Greatly recommend!
Great review! What is the call quality like? Thanks again!
P
Keep on doing the great job you do! Nobody else reviewing budget unlocked devices like you do!
Watched this before buying on Amazon. Thx G!
I'm considering buying this phone to replace my old Galaxy Grand Prime. (Yeah.) Honestly, for 99 bucks, and unlocked, it doesn't look bad. Everything is an upgrade where i'm coming from. I watched closely how the screen reacted to you swiping, and the camera looked smooth. Kind of curious how the back comes off to insert the sim card , i can't seem to find a tear down video anywhere. But i might pull the trigger on this one
does the tcl A509DL come unlocked for overseas usage ? That is the phone I got free.I asked before on another phone in error.Thanks.
good video.does this phone come unlocked ? can i use it in europe with another sim card ? Got this phone free from govt program.
for anyone watching in 2022, the price has been bumped down to 99.99 usd.
Dang 5.5 inches is small now?? Times have changed
Removal battery? SOLD
what is awecatel
awcatel
I got this phone and I'm not too happy with it. The alarm clock never goes off and also every time I call someone the phone will vibrate when they answer. I have looked and looked and I have found no way to turn this feature off. Does anybody know how to stop it from vibrating when someone answers your call?
I got two of these at Dollar general for 24$ each. They work really well for running and monitoring 3D printers
Bought this phone as a back-up/work phone
Thank you for the view. I was wondering about this phone at Kroger. It is only $30 there.
I like phones between $100 and $200. I never spend over $200 on a phone.
Did you need to activate service on the phone before you can use it or can you must use wifi and activate service later if and when you need to? Planning to use as back up phone for wifi access to apps.
Awesome battery life , great phone
Really like this phone, just got one
Whoever has this phone your broke simple point blank period
I dropped this so many times no cracks on screen but sides of the phone a little chipped
Have the same exact phone wondering if you can screen mirror on it
I got a different version i think
TCL owns Alcatel, it's just that recently TCL has begun releasing phones under its own name too. Not surprising they have like a million Alcatel pre-branded USB attachments to just toss into a box.
Can you use WiFi calling and how? I can’t find it.
can it run snapchat or tiktok
This is the phone SafeLink wireless sent me.
Hey thanks for the review I’m thinking of getting this from Amazon for 40$
