Title: Basic phone
Review: This is a good phone for calling. That is the intended use for my father. He doesn't use it for looking online or apps. It isn't the fastest but it usable and it is a good phone for the price.

Title: This is probably the worst phone I have ever bought
Review: I'm not one to write negative reviews often, but this phone really calls for it (pun intended)These are just some of the issues I've had1.) it will randomly turn off in the middle of using it even when it has plenty of battery power2.) It lacks many basic features such as flashlight3.) screen quality and size are terrible4.) extremely slow and freezes often5.) battery last less than a full day on full charge if you use your phone to browse internetIt's only redeeming quality is that it's unlockedIt's the worst smart phone I have ever owned, I would return it but the return window has already passed, don't spend your money on this if I were you, you can get something much better for around the same cost

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: Not the best quality, but does the job for a basic phone.
Review: WHOO, really cheap phone,,, but does work for an emergency phone.. And works with my TELLO Volte 4g service, as I needed.. Plus it's a smaller 5 in screen, so smaller phone overall.. I don't want the big phones..I had an Alcatel phone before ( 3 G ), that was better quality than this one, so liked the brand. This one's battery doesn't last as long as my older phone tho.. The speaker is better in this one.. No frills, no games.. I have only added facebook and messenger to it.. Just a basic phone so don't want to overload it.

Title: I would recomend Alcatel 1 to anyone looking for a budgie - friendly smartphone.
Review: I have been using Alcatel 1 for a few monthes now,and im overall satisfied with it .for the price, it offers good value .the 5.0 inch screen is bright and clear and performance is desent for basic tasks like browsing web and checking email 16 gb of storage is a bit limited,but it can be expanded with a microSD card,Camera is average ,but its good enough for casual photos,the battery life is decent ,but could be better .overall i would recomend Alcatel 1 to anyone looking for a budgie - friendly smartphone.

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.
