My wife needed a new Consumer Cellular phone, and I bought her the IRIS, but it was much too much
technology for her and also it failed right out of the gate .
So I bought her a Jitterbug by Lively which is exactly what she wanted, simple straight open close
no unnecessary extras .

Yes, a great video! I am 90 this year, and after watching this, I am going to order the Iris Flip from Consumer Cellular today . . . . in red, of course!

thank you so much! this happened to me after powering off my phone for the first time (something i will never do again). i really thought i was done for until i found this video

Great video! Just watched with my mom. Thank you!!

The really important note, that is not mentioned anywhere by anyone, is that the Iris will not function properly until you update I don't remember if I stumbled across it scrolling thru all of its functions or it just appeared the next day when I turned the phone on. It took about 10 minutes to download and update, then the phone could emulate all the things covered in this video. Before that it did NOT function properly and I gave it a scathing 1 star review. A great review but missing the most important step to function ability of the Iris.

Excellent video! You explained technical features clearly so that I could easily understand, but without the feeling that I was being "talked down" to. Great job! Thanks!

Thanks, I didn't know about the voice to text for messages. Texting takes forever without it.

My Father has the phone. He does not like all the icons on the home screen. How to get those hidden from the home screen

Do you have to use the predictive texting or can you just spell out your words yourself using the original T9 method? I am almost sold on this phone but I don't like the predictive texting. I can text almost as fast the old way as I can on my smart phone. Thanks!!! Good review. I like flip phones for their size and battery length. I use my smart phone for the camera.

i had my Iris flip phone for 3 weeks, decided to restart it. then it was frozen. I called CC, was told that a hot shock device had to be added. I had to take it back to Target. where I bought it to have it fixed. I bought it when my Iris connect android locked up. In case any of you buy it without having the hot shock device fixed. Don't try to restart it. You will be frozen.

The last three CC flip phones I have purchased have been junk. All three failed within 4 months just past the warranty period. I currently have the Verve Snap and the operating system works off and on. The front screen is frozen in time. I think I will try the Jitterbug. At this point I have nothing to lose.

how do I organize my photos into folders?

[Spreadswings]

It's a nice phone. I wish there was a way to delete all messages at once. I am bombarded with spam messages and it takes a lot of time deleting them one at a time.

Does it have a connection to wireless headphones with Bluetooth feature?

[jacklowe]

Can this phone (unlocked) be activated w/ t- mobile?

[danperez]

How about showing us the ALARM CLOCK features? How many alarms? Repeat WEEKDAY? WEEKEND? EVERY DAY? Direct entry of time, or time-wasting scrolling scales for hours, minutes?

[lorddabber]

Can you have apps like McDonalds or Planet Fitness on the phone? Thank you in advance!

So my question is, you can't download wats app on this phone?

[charleshaldeman]

This phone does not have talk to text as stated. Consumer Cellular has verified this, stop telling people it does. I bought this phone after watching your video and now am stuck with a phone that doesn't talk to text. Thank you.

Low exspectations? Even my Nokia flip phone 20 years ago was higher. This phone does nothing right. No contact names show when anyone on my contact list calls. Settings doesn't have the needed choices in it. Some stuff that I have done before such as type of ring tone is inacessible now. This junk seems to be random or something. I can't make use of this think, it's bad all around. Slow curser, you name it and it is bad. I hope I can return this junk.
