The Alcatel Go Flip 3 is the Phone We Didn't Think We Needed

- getconnectedme... - The Alcatel Go Flip 3 isn't the cutting edge technology that we usually cover. So what are we doing with a smart flip phone in 2020? For a good number of people, the need for a full-blown smartphone experience simply isn't necessary. Especially if all they want to do is call and message people. Devices like the Go Flip 3 are great because of their simplicity, fantastic battery life, and portability. But Alcatel, by using the KaiOS, is still able to pack enough smart features to allow the device to be useful for things like web browsing, Google Maps and Google Assistant. And for many people, that's simply more than enough. The best part is that this device, fully unlocked, is only $100 CAD.
Does a device like the Alcatel Go Flip 3 appeal to you? How do you feel about it as a backup for your expensive flagship smartphone when you're travelling? Let us know what your thoughts are in the comments!

I just bought this phone, downgrading from my latest iPhone because I just don't need the distractions of the modern phone media intrusiveness. Much happier and I find I have WAY more time on my hands because I'm not constantly looking at my phone. Bonus!!!!
Minimalism by phone!
I’m looking at this phone for my 70 yr old mom. Is it hard to get to text messages? She only makes phone calls and texts. Thanks you in advance!!
@@odellarlene I use the voice option to send texts, you can just speak to the phone and it texts for you.
I actually purchased the flip phone for the same reason. I'm very excited to have a flip phone.
I just did the same thing, it is a awrsome feeing being free with more time ! -Boyfriend
I been using my go flip for a year and im 39 years old, I wanted to stop using my smartphone. I love it
For the first time in my life, I’m looking for a downgrade for my next phone... just want something basic, with phone calls, texting, google maps, and whatsapp
Same. Wondering the difference between this and the alcatel smartflip
Same
Turns out there's no diff. Just made for different carriers
I just need Spotify and Google maps and I'd be willing to stop purchasing smart phones
Have you found a cheaper phone that supports Spotify?? I need it too !!!
@@christopherestrada2474 we have to hold out for now. There are forums pressuring Spotify to make a KaiOS version that would open the market up for smart affordable flip phones.
Until then I have settled with ordering an unlocked pixel2 from BackMarket. Went with U.S. mobile and get unlimited talk and text and 30Gigs of data for $30/month. They use both Verizon and T-Mobile towers. I'm hoping Spotify gets their act together so I can go back to a flip phone
Yes! I need directions
I was looking for a phone like this. I don't know why but as a 20 year old these kinda phones are really nice for me personally. Also if it did not have Google Assistant it would have been perfect for me but I understand it's there for making the use of the phone easy.
This is exactly what my husband needs!
Question? How loud is the speaker phone? My mom wants a flip phone but us hard of hearing. We have gone through 3 phones already, T-Mobile is offering me a free line so I'm looking at this for her...
This is a sanity phone
What is the difference between the Go Flip 3 and the Go Flip V? I thought the V was newer, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Is the V just a Verizon dedicated version of the same thing?
Love the phone,but sure miss the "ringtone by caller" function I had with my trusty "Alcatel One Touch Fling". Was nice to know who was calling while behind the wheel. :-)
I am enjoying my flip !!!!! So glad I dich my smartphone I was so tired of reaching for that smartphone for no reason just to browse at nothing. Its only been a few days since I started using my flip but I feel better mentally ;)
i have this phone and i love it.
Nokia or anyone else, please bring out a far better KaiOS not locked down phone! We want GerdaOS privacy!
Hi, can you rotate those 4 app icons on home screen off the home screen so I don't have to look at them all the time from home screen?
I have a question about the phone. Since it has the Google-related apps, does it also come with Gmail? Also, does it have a flashlight as well?
Yes to Gmail, No to the flashlight.
Where can you buy this same brand phone 📱 in Vancouver with the wifi
Does someone know if you can install Telegram with kaIOS?
I have a no data pre-pay plan. Probably better choices without the data frills installed.
How do you use the phine
Flip it open and go. Which is ironic because it's the 'Go Flip.' Sometimes we wish all tech was this easy.
Does it have a maps navigation...I need directions. If I can get directions, I'll go back to a 2000s flip
Yes it has google maps built right in. Turn by Turn navigation and you can speak to the assistant to give directions where you wish to go.
Its a handy little phone. I love it!
Awesome to hear! What's your favourite thing about it?
Is this phone on Amazon because it seems like this phone was never shipped to the Netherlands.
For it have Watapp calls ?
Too bad it has all the Google and Facebook spyware.
Yeah, I picked up on that too.
Can you have messenger on it or viper??
I’m trying to figure my gf’s go flip no incoming calls and a bug/T icon on status bar what is this mean??
hey there! ive had this phone for a couple weeks now but i think i just ran into a problem, basically whenever i try to type using the predictive keyboard the only word it lets me type is "expired!" and using abc typing flat out doesnt work at all. the only imput methods that still seem to work for me are voice to text and typing numbers, does anyone know how to fix this?
shut off predictive texting from input. much better
Does it have bluetooth for music? Or headphone jack ?
Good question. I doubt it.
@@HERB46307 I have one now. They have both, and micro sd card slot.
it has both Bluetooth and a Headphone Jack.
@@HERB46307 Not much point in replying to a question if you don't have the answer. 😁😎
Bought for Dad to replace Jitterbug, but now when he calls I can hear him, he can’t hear me, I think he’s pressed something ( he’s 93)?.
Volume rocker button is on the side, right under your thumb if you're holding it in your right hand. Really easy to accidentally press it until the volume is at zero. It's supposed to be a "feature". More like a pain in the @#$%, and I don't think it can be disabled. :(
i just bought this phone. the phone when i try to listen to a phone call it is not very loud i have turned it all the way up and find i have a hard time hearing. its fine with the speaker turned on. should i sent it back is it defective?
This is the problem, that the phone has low volume. The older versions had high speaker, not this one.
i called my phone company and they said take off the plastic screen cover and wam i hear the phone just fine the dang screen cover was blocking the speaker.
Can you use duo app on this phone?
Hi no you can't duo
Whatsapp video calling/ chat supported???
Will this phone work with no wifi?
JJ king Thank you so much!
Please tell me, because I worry about the Kai Store being more limited than the Play Store, can I get Discord on it?
Lmao
I use uber and left can I download the apps.
😂😂😂
Hahahaha
Can you get Spotify on it. That's the only thing holding me back from going back to a flip phone
There is no spotify :/
But… you can open a web browser, log in to the web version of Spotify with your account and use it that way. Works just fine, hope it does the same for you.
@@Luukluukluuk12 hi, if I open the spotify web version, will it prompt me to download the android app?
I hate it when these èxperts` babble on while pressing buttons to show how clever they are. Communication is an art.
This comment is a hidden gem.
can I plug the keyboard at the charging port ? 😋😋😋
is there whatsapp available?
WhatsApp about Telegram in kaIOS?
This phone is very complicated to set any setting. High quality sound etc but it's practically a smart phone.
/w poor btry life if you're not a smart ph person, you may hate this thing like as I.
Cheap Backup phone
It's a great backup phone!
