Flip Phone

you have an old flip phone and want to use it on verizon or you want to buy a new flip phone on the vzw network?

I have a Kyocera Cadence LTE currently with Verizon. I am looking for a cheaper provider, while staying on the Verizon network.

Most of the flip phones are older 1-2-3 G phones and I'm told V is no longer supporting them.. Some other providers might. but not V home of the Cuss-some-more non service dept.

Why? Holey Moley!

Total is Verizon, you can buy the phone cards at Walmart. Great service on the cheap. They may still sell the flip, but if it is less than 4G they most likely will loose sevice in the fall of 2020.

Because they are simple to use, and basically used for just making phone calls. There are still some folks in this world who are not technologically savvy and just want something simple to use.

My sister is over 70 years old now and she is using a simple flip phone because she has (still) never used a computer a single day of her life. I know, that's hard to imagine, but true.

x2 nicly said.my wife has a flip ph and won,t give it up.

I have a flip phone and use it to, wait for it, make phone calls.

Page Plus Cellular is what we use with our old Verizon flip phone. We use it as an emergency phone and buy minutes ahead of time for less than 40 bucks per year...

In the defence of simplicity of the flip phone....

I upgraded to a newer phone about 3 years ago. My iphone 5S was in perfect working order. I gave it away to MIL, 85 at the time. Put a very basic voice only plan on it and and disabled absolutely everything else. No internet, no data, no text, no updating, no apps, no anything other than voice.

We showed her only how to make and recieve phone calls. Period. Phone number was ported over from landline, landline canceled so she could have a phone with her everywhere, including in the bathroom in case she ran into trouble, or in case her car malfunctioned at a grocery store or something.

Well, I'll tell ya, try to get an 85 year old senior to learn how to use an iphone only for phone calls. She eventually got it figured out, but we had to give her lessons many times over.

She's now 88 1/2, still drives, and takes her phone everywhere. It hangs off the handle of her walker wherever she goes.

Simplicity of a flip phone? Yup, makes sense to me! :)

If you're 85 here and techno savvy, I tip my hat to you! Most are not.
