I'd stick with in-store T-Mobile if I can ... store's only a about ten miles. But am looking for a little feedback here first. It's possible I may have to go with that odd folding phone they sell. Prefer not, but if other options are either obsolete, or contain tech I will never use, but pay for anyway - may have to do that.
I care less about the cost than I do a large pocket full of phone. And, hate paying for all the extras I don't need or use. Just a simple phone call - what happened to a simple phone call when you need it? >>>>> Biting the bullet is the only way left to us.
Honestly, the flip phones are going to be pretty similar as in not better or worse and not much variation in features.. If what you buy from T mobile doesn't work as well as your smart phone then take it up with T mobile as they were the one that sold it to you.
But if you really think you will find one that is better than what T mobile offers then what you are looking for is one that is "Unlocked" (IE not locked into a carrier) and it must be 4G VoLTE capable.. 4G without VoLTE will not work once the 3G is turned off. Just be aware, that bringing a unlocked phone into the mix, T mobile may not be willing to assist you and blame the issues you have with that phone on the fact that you bought it elsewhere (it is their network and they can do as they please).
HERE is a internet search for unlocked fip phone with 4G VoLTE to get you started..
After my experience with trying to use a unlocked phone which was a total failure I would recommend trying the T mobiles flip phone first, if it doesn't make and receive calls it then is up to T mobile to make it right for you buy exchanging/replacing or refunding your money.
