Alcatel is horrible with updates.

I find the phone quite good as far as operation. It even plays high end game like Real Racing 3 without any lag. The only complaint i have is the battery does not last the whole day, aside from that its on a level with the Moto G4.

From what I have seen so far (Idol 4 & Idol3 owner) as long as the phone is working it works great. When it's not you might as well try to contact the Pope. You would get him before you get Alcatel.

Have 6.0.1 on both my Idol 4, and my Idol 3. No problems on either phone. I can install quite a few apps on the SD card on both phones. Not all of them, but about 1/3 of them. Plenty of movies and pictures also.

Have to agree, they have the 3 for 99$, and the 4 for 179$, how they get the 5 when they are released.

Be happy you (and me) got 6. We will never get 7 or higher. I dont look to get them on my 4 either.

Think I will wait and see if Cricket gets the 4S. Smaller battery, smaller screen makes me favor the 3 over the 4. They are practically giving the 3 away for less than 100$.

Cricket has the Idol 4 for 169. I have a Idol3 that is only 4 months old is the 4 enough of an upgrade to make it worth while.

I just received Marshmallow on my Cricket Idol 3.

Very dissappointed, I converted my SD card to internal storage but it will still only accept certain apps. It would seem if it was really internal storage it would accept everything like internal storage does. My brother had the same problem with his LG G3, so it is not a Alcatel issue.

Has anyone converted their SD card to internal storage. Interested in opinions. I dont remove my card to move anything so it looks like a good move.

Only problem i have found with Cricket is they have almost NO upgrade policy. It seems what you buy the phone with is what you will have on the phone until you get rid of it.

Both Consumer Cellular and Cricket uses AT&T' network so that is not a problem. The locked to CC is the problem, the only locked phones Cricket will accept are those locked to their parent company, AT&T.

I had a similar problem with CC, I ended up giving the phone away and getting a phone from Cricket. After reading about CC's suppose ly great service I would love to know how they got those ratings. I will never deal with them again either.

This is only for unlocked phones. Mine is locked to Cricket. They are very BAD about upgrades. But maybe i will get lucky. Yea, and the dish ran away with the spoon.
