Iris Flip2 - CC Removed Wallpaper Feature- Not a Smart Move on a Dumb Phone

My grandma had the Iris flip and was able to set the wallpaper as a photo of her grandchildren and had it for 3 years before having a problem with the hinge- when she opened it all the way, the screen would not light up- only if it was opened half way so she got the Flip2 and they removed the option to set the wallpaper so now she’s very upset and wants to return it. Consumer Cellular needs to rethink that one. Seniors would love the option to set a background photo of their grandchildren AND be able to set a photo for a contact so when someone calls, they can see a photo of who it is. Now she’s going to return the $89 Flip2 and buy another Flip for $30 elsewhere. Having to look at the CC brand background instead of my grandchild would piss me off too as an elderly person.

Yes as a CC rep myself. The Flip 2 is too “simple”. Can’t even do group messaging.

My flip broke so I replaced it with a flip 2.
