We've had ours for almost a month now and it's been perfect for my teens so they have a way to call or text without internet access. It's also cheaper and more durable than a smart phone and fits better in the pocket. We found a wireless plan through tello mobile, which uses T-mobile towers, that has a talk and text only (no data) plan option. This phone doesn't connect to wifi like most flip phones do, so the only way you can access the internet is if you have a data plan. It's a little smaller and lighter weight than my AT&T phone, which is nice, and it's comfortable in my hand. For texting, you can either use the predictive text (it gives you options of words that can be formed by the exact letters you've pushed, rather than guessing a variety of possible words, larger or smaller than what you've entered like my current AT&T flip phone does) or you can use the standard one where you push each button multiple times depending on what letter you want, as well as choosing all capital, all lower case, numbers, or first letter capital only. It's a little tricky figuring out all the details of how to use or find the various options, etc. (and it doesn't come with detailed instructions). The one drawback we've noticed, other than getting used to some of the quirky details for accessing features, etc., is that there's no front screen, so you can't use it to see the time or even see who's calling without opening the phone. If you like to see who's calling before answering, you'll want to make sure to change the settings to not answering automatically when opening the phone. The SOS button is kind of a nice feature. So far, we haven't had any problems with it accidentally getting pushed while it's in a pocket or backpack, but since you program in what numbers you want, it wouldn't be a big deal for us if it did because we just have parents' numbers programmed in. You can choose what numbers you add in (or have none programmed in) for the phone to automatically contact when the SOS button is pushed and held. You can also set it to send a text-whatever you program it to say-to those numbers. There is also an emergency alarm that the phone can make when you push and hold the button, but you can turn that feature off. We were a little worried about the alarm since we're just using it for our teens, but were happy to find it can be turned on or off. If you had an elderly person living in your home that might not be able to call out for help, it could be a helpful feature because you might hear the alarm even if you didn't have your phone on you. We haven't had any problems with reception, although we haven't really traveled with it much. Overall, we've been quite happy with it. I was happy to find a basic flip phone that can't connect to wifi so my kids could use it for calling and texting only without having to worry about parental controls or anything like that. Our current plan has no data at all, which means they also can't receive MMS messages (group texts or pictures), but that's not a problem for us. Group texts become quite a hassle with a flip phone because there's no way to remove yourself from the group chat, and getting way too many texts can make it difficult to check them all because of the phone having to load each one. (my daughter has that problem with her current flip phone. Her friends sometimes send up to 90 random messages or more in a day and her phone can't handle it) Keep in mind that if you're getting it for your kids or teens, they'll still get all the spam calls and texts, and if you worry about your kids sending or receiving inappropriate texts, there's no way to monitor calls or texts. If you have any data on your plan, even though accessing the internet is incredibly cumbersome with a flip phone, they can easily click on links their friends send them and there's no way to see if inappropriate photos are being sent or received, so if you're worried about that kind of thing, this won't fix your problem.

Works great! Simple phone to keep my son safe from online dangers. It texts and calls and that’s all he needs. Camera quality is really bad but that’s to be expected. Battery life lasts for days without charging.

Got this for my technologically challenged 90-year old mother... It's simple design and operation are perfect for her. Works perfectly with a basic call and text plan from Tello Mobile (for $5 a month, you can't go wrong!)

I got this phone for my 94 year old dad on Dec 5, 2025. It is now Feb 15, 2026 and it does not work anymore. It has not been dropped or damaged, it just quit working. It lasted 2.5 months and died.

Liked size of phone and appearance. Most tasks are difficult to do on this phone. Texting is long and annoying. Reception was not too good either. It still works but the speaker magnet attracted a metal shaving and silenced the speaker, so now I don't know when a call comes in. Replaced with a rugged smart phone with big battery. Dumbed the smart phone down and it works great for calls and texting with great reception. The Artfone G3 is not so hot.

Very good phone for the price. The instructions/manual could be better tho. I got it for my 97yo mother. The external speaker is great with her hearing.

Bought this for our 10 year old. Sturdy and handles frequent dropping well. The features are simple and easy to use.

Works well and nice and bright.

Sehr gute haptik alles fühlt sich gut an. Toll das die zahlen die man wählt angesagt werden. Gute grosse der Schrift auf dem Display Tolles kleines radio läuft auch über den Lautsprecher. Klasse danke an die Erfinder und danke Amazon für die schnelle Lieferung.

Il telefono è molto semplice da usare, ha i tasti molto grossi e alla pressione dei numeri una voce li ripete. La batteria dura 7/10 giorni. Ha il tasto sos con cui manda un messaggio ed effettua una chiamata ai numeri registrati per le emergenze. Diverse suonerie disponibili con buon volume (presente anche la vibrazione). Comoda la possibilità di scegliere se ricaricarlo normalmente dal cavetto micro usb o appoggiandolo sulla basetta di ricarica come un cordless casalingo. Durante la chiamata il volume è molto alto e chiaro, inoltre c'è anche il vivavoce. Funziona in 3g con tutte le schede dei vari operatori (lo usiamo con iliad e funziona benissimo, ma l'ho testato anche con tim e fastweb e funzionano perfettamente)

Le he comprado a mi madre este teléfono, ya que necesitaba uno fácil de manejar y con las funciones básicas de un teléfono. Este es cómodo, con teclas grandes, se escucha bastante alto y claro y se carga en una base, cosa que me parece muy cómodo. Tiene la posibilidad de insertarle dos tarjetas sim, con dos números de telefono distintos. También tiene en la parte trasera un botón rojo de emergencia, por si necesitase ayuda en algún momento, así como una linterna incorporada. Es un teléfono sencillo, pero ideal para personas mayores....

Tasten groß genug, Displayschrift gut zu lesen, Lautstärke am Ohr sehr gut, Sprachübermittlung ebenfalls sehr gut! Auch leuchtet das Display hell auf, wenn es klingelt - so daß man darauf aufmerksam wird (besser wäre evtl. noch eine blinkende, rote LED oder Ähnliches). Im Grunde also sehr empfehlenswert, zudem recht preiswert! Die Ladeschale wird gespeist von einem genormten Mikro-USB-Stecker, der sich rausziehen läßt und z.B. für andere USB-Geräte benutzen läßt. Sehr praktisch, auch wenn`s z.B. kauptt gehen sollte, leicht ersetzbar! Leider ist die Auswahlmöglichkeit der Klingeltöne sehr gering, und der Klingelton läßt sich leider nur bis zu einer bestimmten, eher mittleren Lautstärke hochregeln - gerade für Schwerhörige damit nur bedingt hörbar, und erst recht schwierig, wenn nebenbei z.B. noch Fernseher eingeschaltet ist oder man nicht im gleichen Raum ist! Obendrein ist der Klingel-Lautsprecher (unüberlegterweise!) auf der RÜCKSEITE des Handys montiert - d.h. wenn es auf dem Tisch liegt (und nicht in der mitgelieferten Ladeschale), dämpft der Untergrund/Tischdecke o.ä. den Klingelton zusätzlich. Schade! Deswegen von mir keine 5 Sterne, obwohl ich diess Handy durchaus jedem empfehlen kann (nicht nur Senioren!). Vielleicht wäre es außerdem sinnvoll, gerade für Senioren, die Kaufmöglichkeit für ein einzelnes Ladegerät zu schaffen, welches man evtl. am Bett montieren könnte, für ggf. die Tage, in denen es dem Senior nicht gut genug zum Aufstehen geht. Dies allerdings nur zur Anregung.

muy simple y facil de usar, teclas grandes, sin mayor complicacion para cualquier persona mayor , muy util para el uso que esta destinado. 100% recomendable por el precio que tiene.
