Not sure by your questions if you want another flip phone to replace your current flip phone.
We’re cruising next month and wanted to replace Hubby’s OLD LG flip phone with one that’s a world device. We’re with Verizon. They have five basic flip phones, which they call “basic”, but they really aren’t. Two are world devices. The LG Exalt is the one he chose and it’s a frickin’ mess — Android based. We were told that 4G will take over everything at the end of 2019, so anything that truly is basic never will be again.
There are zero cell phones that offer complete privacy. I use BlackBerries (no Hillary jokes please). I switch the SIM card between the Priv which is Android (hate) based, and the Classic on the BB OS (love). BBs are pretty good for privacy. In fact, the Verizon techs get frustrated when I call for help because BB won’t let them tap in and take over control of my phones. Verizon no longer sells BB.
We still have a landline, which I love. Cellular snooping passed “out of control” 5-10 years ago.
I don’t know if this helps in any way.
Thnaks, verizon is my carrier.
