• LG Classic Flip

Biden2020prez Thanks,
I was able to get the setting app installed and now the app doesn't crash. But the app doesn't actually work. The only thing that works somewhat is if I click "mute all numbers except those in contact list" Then it mutes all calls, whether in contact list or not. Otherwise it doesn't do anything. If I select certain contacts to mute it doesn't work.

            Atusb Welcome to tracfone. Wait for your phone to be unlocked and switch service providers.

                Flippy Pic messaging is more unreliable with other carriers on the LG Classic

                      chaimzalman Not more unreliable than not working at all....
                      The other choice is keep hammering away at TracFone reps... If you call the
                      Tracfone Executive Dept

                      Sometimes you may have a slightly less horrible experience.

                          Flippy thank you, but they give you same stuff and doesnt work

                            I have the LG classic flip that I purchased within the last year from a Jewish company, slightly used and unlocked so it could work with my T-mobile plan. I noticed a few months ago that sometimes my texts were coming in delayed, or calls weren't going through, so I switched my sim card to a different phone. I did receive an email before the summer from T-mobile Archie that my service might get cut off, but I'm not sure if the problems I'm having are because of that or not. (Since my phone isn't technically supposed to work with T-mobile, when I go onto my T-mobile account, they do not recognize the model of my phone, so there might not actually be a problem with my phone model)
                            I would like to switch back to my LG flip because its much easier to use than the Alcatel I've been using in the meantime, but it's hard to know if I am missing calls or texts are coming in late on the LG. I do have the phone under warranty so I plan on calling the company. I just wanted to see if anyone else was having these issues with their calls/texts not coming in or coming in late.

                                Archie The LG Classic does not work especially well on T-Mobile. It doesn't have all their bands.

                                    Flippy So I got around to reading it, and looked up my IMEI, but it's only 14 digits so I can't check compatibility with T-mobile - for that you need a 15 digit IMEI. I googled what it means when IMEI is only 14 digits and found [Login to see the link] saying that the phone is only CDMA capable. From there I went to [Login to see the link] page about CDMA networks, but I don't really understand it. Can someone explain it to me?

                                          Archie different bands are different ways the phone sends and receives info. CDMA bands means the phone work with Verizon but your 4G data (and your calls) are being sent and received with (Voice hd) LTE (I think CDMA was Verizon’s 3G network and was phased out)

                                              whynot so how can I check if my phone is compatible with Tmobile if to do so I need a 15-digit IMEI, but my phone's IMEI only has 14 digits?
