It's like hearing Illinois Duce, for Il Doochay.

Sorry; i had to spell that incorrectly for the synth to do anything like
an approximation.

But the funniest one is when you put a South Dakota card into your device.

That's okay, I recognize those kinds of mistakes. Mine interprets the roman numeral for 6, which is v I, as Virgin Islands. I separated the v and the I so they would be pronounced. Pam.

Hi Gerald,
Probably my mistake, sometimes my ole voice synth which I am using with nvda says five instead of v; this is because the voice synth is interpreting the letter v as roman numeral five.
I know I neeed a more accurate synth, but I do like the voice.

Okay, a little clarification. There is no such model as the Alcatel Flip Go
5. There is a model called the Alcatel Flip Go V, and perhaps somebody
assumed that the "V" was actually the Roman numeral for 5. But nowhere is
this phone referred to as the Alcatel Flip Go 5. I suspect that the "V"
actually stands for Verizon, because this phone is apparently designed for
Verizon Wireless and also works with US Cellular. It apparently does not
work with T Mobile, which uses a different technology than T Mobile. The
only Alcatel phone listed for T Mobile is the Flip Go 3. Judging from the
product description, it sounds that the Flip Go V is essentially similar in
features to the Go Flip 3, although there is no mention of the voice
guidance feature. Both models sell for about $100.

The fact that you have a device that works fine for you is irrelevant.
The only way to generate new sales is with new products. Sometimes
it's the same old thing with a new label or costume.
Buy, buy, buy.

I have never heard of a go 5 before this one. I always heard of the
go 3, and I thought that was the newest one. Pam.

What is the difference between the alcatel go 3 and go 5.
