Thanks, Milo B. That was the most useful, helpful Tracfone video that I have seen on UA-cam. Very precise, very thorough. I appreciate you showing us this setup.
Thanks for the video. Just bought this flip phone for my mom from HSN for $40 with 1200 minutes/1200 texts /1.2GB data This Flip 2 will be used for 2FA. The texting brings back memories of my Nokia phone from the early 1990s. Entering the wifi password was challenging. Installed a software update for it.
That's awesome hope she enjoys it . Don't forget to create account for her and use referral for rewards you can get 5k-7k points which u can use to add more plan or get discounts on other phones .
Aww how sweet of you to do. I got a Phone like this for My Mother. She`s not tech savvy and she just wants to use it for making calls when she is out and that`s it.
Thank you . If phone is closed and someone calls you once u open the phone you will be able to talk to the person without pressing anything and once u close it the phone call ends. Hope that answered your question.
No it doesnt. Matter of fact there is no google account for u to login to. Its very basic phone. It does support wifi and bluetooth. It has browser and thats it. I showed menu in the video.
Can anyone help with adding/saving contacts? My dad just bought this phone and is having trouble saving his contacts. He can fill in all the information, but cannot save them. He had the older version of this phone and figured it out on his own, on that one. Unfortunately, he is on the other side of the country from me and I cannot get my hands on his new phone to see what his screen looks like. He says that the manual just says "choose Save" and that is what I have been seeing Googling around as well. But he swears that "Save" is not an option on his screen. I have seen other people complain that adding contacts was confusing but that they figured it out. However, they did not post their solutions.
@@MiloB Sending this to my dad. He could not save his contacts - he is 3,000 miles away so only so much I can do to help him. He couldn't see a Save anywhere. Maybe he did not click Option first.
After two months they send you a text message stating that your phone qualifies for unlocking. Sadly, you do have to call them and request they unlock it. But, once they take down your email address after a few minutes they do send you an unlock code with instructions.
this is ok vid, but need more hands on demonstrations how to use it. very basic stuff done slowly so we can understand. start with making a phone call. show how to access messages. use the icons on the screen. use all the buttons. use the ok button. what is the ok button? that kinda stuff. ..thanks.
It does have speaker phone works well I used it few times when I had the phone. You have to select it there is speaker option on screen so press button that corresponds to it . You can also answer phone with that front button on top of phone when it’s closed and that would be automatic speakerphone .
@@njtexit8 its been a while since I've used it but once you in the call it should show on on screen and you have to press one of the corresponding buttons. Also if phone is closed you can talk with it using speakerphone without opening it .
you cant there is no app store. Its just a basic phone that lets u text , make calls and open up browser but as I showed in video browsing web would be extremely difficult its 2" screen so yea.
Has anyone else experienced a blank white screen with this phone? I've had mine for about a year now and it's still in quite new condition, never dropped it or got it wet. Yesterday, I texted someone and set it down. Returned 5 minutes later to return another text and when I opened it up, the screen was solid white, with no apparent cause. I took the battery out multiple times, for several minutes, and when I turn it on the screen is still white. Everything else seems to work on it otherwise. I'm a DIY'er and times are tough financially, so I would really like to fix this if I can and not have to pay and wait for a new phone. Can anyone please help? Thanks!
tracfone use to be good cellphone CO. but any more they can't do any thing right and wen i ask to speak to a manager i get hung up on. i got hug up on over 5 times befor my wife talked to some one there now mind you i have been with tracfone for over 30 plus years but now it looks like i am going to go to mint where i will not get hug up on wen i ask to speak to some one that could help me. if this is what you are looking for Eduardo Diaz Corona then you are doing a very good job of it and tracfone will be no more in no time
I agree about customer service haha pray you never need to contact them . I had some issue with shipping and they would waste my time for an hour . 0 common sense and when they see they can’t help they just hang up . Service itself I have no issues but right now on my main I use mint actually . I haven’t contacted customer service yet no idea how that will be but have no need to contact them service has been great so far .
i was able to call the number on the sim card i bought and text the number along with the model model number and was set up. so the phone can be set up by itself, nothing else needed. save your box with the model number, you need it.
Dont forget to use my referral for 7,000 Points
My Referral For Tracfone IS IYYI-6E92
It says to me “enable Wi-Fi calling” how do I do that? Thank you
Yup I searched the settings and it's just not in there, I'm ready to start sending smoke signals.

@@njtexit8 oh darn they changed it . 500 not even worth the hassle then
Go online they have unlimited everything for 15$
Yep. THAT GLUE!!! got me too. Very good video. thanks
just wanted to know does it have FM radio built in to the phone please let me know thanks
No from what I can tell.
Can you read QR code on this flip?
Very useful video to understand such an old type phone. I needed instructions to set up the one my elderly neighbor bought himself but needs help on.
Glad it helped
Aww how sweet of you to do. I got a Phone like this for My Mother. She`s not tech savvy and she just wants to use it for making calls when she is out and that`s it.
WORTHLESS! He does not know how to use it!
good video! Does this phone have the option to answer / end the call by lifting the cover? That is, without pressing any key ?
Thank you . If phone is closed and someone calls you once u open the phone you will be able to talk to the person without pressing anything and once u close it the phone call ends. Hope that answered your question.
The button on the outside is to be pressed three times for a set emergency contact.
Thanks for the tip :)
How do you set up the outside button to dial an emergency contact
Does this support GPS and the Google Find My Devices app? I'm wondering if I can use it as a cheap GPS tracker.
No it doesnt. Matter of fact there is no google account for u to login to. Its very basic phone. It does support wifi and bluetooth. It has browser and thats it. I showed menu in the video.
Btw they have this phone plus year of service for 20$ on eBay .
@Enrique McQuade source?
You didn't show how to add a contact or retrieve phone number/info, or can you do that with this phone?
@@vgoose50 yes I have UA-cam short where i show that . Look for it in my channel
Can I call out on the phone w/o connecting to WiFi?
@@TheRTaylorMade yes you can
@@MiloB how? I’ve tried everything
The phone says I need to enable wifi calling which I can’t find. Please help?

Hey do you know where I can find my tcl sms gateway?
this is a great video! does this have facebook/youtube on it? and how do i get music on it?
It only has a browser no App Store . Music u can do by connecting it to computer and transferring to phone .
@@MiloB can you do a tutorial on how to transfer music. I cant figure it out. Thank you!
Can u fully mute all sounds (button pressing)?
Yes
Do you know if the phone works in Mexico? 💗
Yes if it's unlocked it should work .
Can we use map with it ?
How do you do you add new contacts? I press on a "Add" and all I get is a search bar
Click on Menu then contacts then options then new contact then enter name and number then click on options again and click save
@@MiloB Sending this to my dad. He could not save his contacts - he is 3,000 miles away so only so much I can do to help him. He couldn't see a Save anywhere. Maybe he did not click Option first.
Does it have Bluetooth?
Do you know if it's locked or unlocked for different carriers?
It’s locked . Their new policy is 2 months on network then u can unlock it .
@@MiloB will it unlock automatically or is there something specific you need to do to unlock it. Thanks!
@@isaacc4609 some say yes some say no I don’t know for sure

LOL The ONLY reason I'm watching is to find out what that button with the phone symbol does, AND HE DOESN'T KNOW! LOL
It’s to answer calls while phone is closed . I’m doing unboxing video how can I know immediately what each button does . It’s unusual phone
@@MiloB when you say answer while phone is closed, is that an automatic answering machine?
He totally skipped HOW to use the phone. WORTHLESS. He doesn't even know how to use the buttons
how to change the time?
It gets the time from the Verizon network.
It's a good thing I didn't pay more than what I did but I pick up pennies for taxes!
i like your phone
How do I get to the store in the phone?
you cant there is no app store. Its just a basic phone that lets u text , make calls and open up browser but as I showed in video browsing web would be extremely difficult its 2" screen so yea.
@@MiloB ok thank you

Can't do WiFi calling with this one.
Who cares, its a prepaid flip phone.
@@Mike-rt2vp Because if it did, it would be free calling without paying for any service.
Thank You! Bless!
You welcome :)
Can you talk 2 text on this phone?
Thanks in advance
you usually can't.
@@NottZaniel thanks, I was pretty certain,but was trying to make sure
Does it have WhatsApp?
No it doesn’t
Yes.
I paid my $10 for the month and I have a transaction recorded which proves it!
you gonna have to contact TracFone for that .

7:27 It did't take me anywhere.
I don’t know about that . You should msg their support I’m not in charge of their website and activating
They cheated me out of the other half of the month for payment!
thanks
Where's the rest of my service I paid for??
I don't know sorry try contacting tracfone they have chat available on their website
Texting is a nightmare on this flip fone.
True but you get used to it . When I was teen that’s what I used for many many years for texting haha
just text faster lol. try it
The phone isn't the problem. The biggest problem is you already need a working phone to activate these pieces of crap tracfones.
i was able to call the number on the sim card i bought and text the number along with the model model number and was set up. so the phone can be set up by itself, nothing else needed. save your box with the model number, you need it.
