Nice phone
The phone I bought from Argos was faulty: it would not detect a SIM card. I returned it for a refund. Argos made the returns process very easy, thank you. I then bought exactly the same model of phone from Tesco (£10 cheaper as it did not include a £10 Vodafone credit). The phone from Tesco worked just fine and is a nice phone. So if you do buy one from Argos it's a nice phone if you just want something basic.

To disagree with Alicia about the charger I bought this phone a few days ago and it DOES NOT come with a charger. However it does come with a cradle and a USB A to USB C type lead to plug into a charger. But the charger or plug as some call it isnt supplied. I can recommend a very good charger for it a low power 5W USB A charger Argos item 4887016. The TCL phone will NOT take a fast charger as refuses to charge hence the 5W one Ive recommended.
Hey Katy,
I can advise that this mobile phone does come with a charger and charging dock.
