Is this manual for all flipgo phones? I need for model 4058W 8G Blu kit
The manual refers to the TCL FLIP Go device and mentions the model number TCL 4058W. If the "4058W 8G Blu kit" is a variant of the TCL 4058W, the manual is likely applicable. However, it does not explicitly confirm support for the "8G Blu kit" variant.

@Karen Littwin DO you know if this flip has sperker control
@Ronald If you mean "volume" control... then yes it does. "Up" and "Down" rocker control is located on the right side of the phone as you look at it. If you mean can you "mute" the speaker...then DURING an active call, there will be an indicator to mute/unmute the call (on your end) you can mute or unmute at will by pressing the TOP LEFT "-" button WHILE the call is ACTIVE. Don't know of any way to "pre-mute" a call BEFORE you either answer or make the actual call. You can always turn off all sounds coming from the phone by holding the volume rocker button on the side of the phone DOWN till there is no volume. Hope this helps !

Why when people call my TMobile flip phone. Some hear my message and some do not, you only hear a beep.
The manual does not provide specific details on why some callers hear voicemail while others hear only a beep. However, this issue may be related to voicemail settings, network provider settings, or call forwarding configurations. Contact your network operator to check service availability and voicemail settings.
