Verizon offers flip phones and you can get unlocked ones to run on the Verizon network. They're 4G instead of 2G or 3G.
They're not as good as the older LG, Samsung, or Motorola phones but they do the job. Sadly, because they're 4G, the prices are a noticeably higher than the old ones.

Hubby got one (there only were two available) form Verizon. Got it and found out it’s Android. So it flips, but it’s still smart-phone Android. He absolutely HATES it!
