Like the phone but it eats up the battery very quickly. Also I think it's an android issue but I like to get things like voicemail notifications, missed phone notifications, message notifications, and other notifications on the lock screen which my old phones gave me, but not this one. Once locked, I get very few notifications until I login even tho I have it set up to give me notifications -- as many as the options allow which is very few of the ones I want, the important ones. Is this a security feature? I am used to like android 8 and 10, not the latest one.
The phone works fine. Issue with the operating system/software. Google makes it difficult to set other apps. Tries to default to permissions to control and access everything on the phone.

I'm only giving this four stars because it came without a charger. If Tracfone is going to sell these phones they should specify that a charger must be purchased separately. Otherwise, it's a great phone.
