Alcatel Go Flip Compatibility ?

BearFBI — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 16:49:51 GMT

Has anyone used an Alcatel Go flip phone with PM. The model is 4044V. I cant seem to figure out if it's compatible on willmyphonework.net or the Public Mobile phone compatibility list. Most of the Alcatel devices aren't even compatible with the frequencies. Its for an elder who is currently on Virgin Mobile prepaied. He is thinking of switching.

@BearFBI Yes the Go Flip works with PM and it used to be sold by Telus/Koodo. One household account uses the Go Flip without any issues.

Edit: Just looked at the model and it's 4044V

If you put "4044V" in the search bar at the top you will see other threads confirming that version of the go flip works on PM.

Also on this older thread you have responded to someone else saying that the phone is compatible 🤔

My mother is using Alcatel Go Flip for over a year with the no longer offered PM $10 50/50 plan without any issue. I even sent a picture MMS to her Alcatel Go Flip as wall paper.

I think i was using another phone compatibility checker. I used to use another one but forgot what it was. I must've forgot about that post. It also never came up in a forum search. I should've digged deeper. sorry guys. I wasn't thinking.
