Flip Phone
Can anyone recommend a Verizon reseller that I can use a flip phone?

The issue is not about flip phones or who sells flip phones, the issue is that Verizon is terminating their older 1-3G networks and non HD portions of their 4G and LTE networks. Starting January 1 2020, no new account on those networks will be accepted. Starting January 1 2021, they will begin the systematic terminating of that service.
This means starting the new year, you can't activate any new service that uses those systems on the Verizon network be it through Verizon or any other provider. So unless yo already have service activated come the first of the year, you wont be able to get activated using those older networks.
Come 2021, they will be systematically shutting those networks down and any phone that uses the 1-3G or non HD 4G or LTE networks will become paper weights. It doesn't matter if you are a Verizon customer, TracFone, Total Wireless, Straight Talk or any other MVNO customer that uses Verizon's network, if you use those older networks, your days are numbered!
