Alcatel Go Flip Compatibility ?

[BearFBI]

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.

It sure does used that model when I first switched and its my back up phone. The bf has had to use it three different times between losing and acquiring new phones. Come to think of it he hasnt lost lost his latest phone yet....its been three whole months! Then again he actually paid for this one?!!

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.

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.

@BearFBI  its compatible if its this phone. https://www.comparecellular.com/cell-phones/alcatel-go-flip/ its got the required 3g and 4g LTE bands.  Stay safe.

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.

@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
