Inherent Glitches

SBH07 . 16 hours ago

Purchased the TCL Flip 3 in late Dec 2025, and by late Jan 2026, it could no longer hold a charge. I returned the Dec 2025 phone and we charged more to replace it in late Jan 2026. Within days, the new TCL Flip 3 (1) started getting "install error" notifications when I never tried to install anything -- I only use the phone for calling and texting. After speaking with a Verizon agent, I checked for software updates (there were none) and I tried rebooting the phone, but later that same day got the same "install error notifications. Also, within days, the new TCL Flip 3 stopped holding a charge -- I would charge it to 100% and within hours (and without using the phone), it will go down to 60% -- so I need to charge it multiple times per day. Is there an inherent flaw with the Flip 3 or did I get 2 lemon phones????? Now, after only a week, I need to find a new phone, which saddens me because other than these MAJOR defects, I would love this phone. Why is Verizon discontinuing the TCL Flip Pro -- the phone I had before the Flip 3 but I accidently got it wet and had to replace it.

Your service is TERRIBLE, my phone broke and went to store to buy a new one said couldn't help me and sent me to another store where I ordered the phone. They said my phone will arrive in 2 to 3 days, that was 3 weeks ago. I called the store for updates and they said they did not know anything and basically blew me off. I am looking to go with another phone company. I have been without a phone and its just terrible.

Can you have a spam blocker on this phone?

The good news is that you can get spam blocking on a Verizon FLIP 3, primarily through Verizon's Call Filter service, which works for voice and can be managed in the My Verizon app or on the phone. For more questions, contact Verizon Customer Service at 800-922-0204. -Ross https://www.verizon.com/digital/nsa/nos/ui/ngd/contactus
