Younger kids are a great match for the Alcatel Go Flip - they 're too young to have social media accounts or calendars that need constant syncing, but they can figure out T9 texting and making calls to mom to pick them up from practice or the pool. I've had all of my kids start on a flip phone when they start getting active - usually the aging Sanyo Taho, but now the youngest gets to use the Alcatel GO Flip.
I'm not sure if the hinge and construction will stand up as well as the construction-grade Sanyo Taho, now going on 9 years and 3 kids use, but for less than a hundred dollars, it's easily replacable. It offers LTE data and an effective web browser, along with basic GMail integration. To save data, it has a built in FM Radio that works quite well with headphones connected - it uses the headphone wire as the antenna!
Other prime audiences include those on a budget (note the low price tag) and folks just needing basic talk and text with large, easy to use buttons. But the real appeal of the Alcatel Go Flip is the Retro Cool of a flip phone with basic data!
