I know there is a guy from Lakewood that sells flip phone. Anyone know where I can get a flip phone? I am trying to get rid of my smartphone. I had enough already.

I got mine directly from the service provider (TMobile, Verizon etc)

Do you want a kosher flip phone? Mraberthon.com

Otherwise can get anywhere, but it will have Internet and will not be able to be filtered.

AT&T
I am really desperate. I had a 3G, and they shut if off and mailed me an android, and I desperately need to get rid of it, I don't want to start with the smartphone, even filtered. I have an addiction issue and I feel that owning one isn't good for me.
I would prefer a flip phone that is filtered- like, I can access google for numbers/addresses, but it's a filtered google.
does that exist?
Thanks for all your help.

I have at&t. I tried to get a flip phone for my teen from them. They only had one that had full internet and apps on it. No store was able to filter it so I sent it back. Then I got them a trackphone at Walmart and so far so good. It auto fills every month. I did take it to put on a filter.

TAG cannot filter tracfone. Know that before you buy one. The regular Alcatel flipphone on Amazon works well with TAG, all my kids have them.

Some have an SD card, and you can transfer music to the card and put that into the phone.

You can buy LG Tracfone and filter it yourself for FREE. There is an app you can install and it will strip the internet, as well as texting if you would like. Most affordable option since phone only costs $20-$30.

My daughter just had her tracphone filtered at TAG. Maybe there are different phones. Best bet to ask TAG before you buy.

Was it a flip phone? They told me 3x over the past two years that they can't work with tracfones because of the way the phones are programmed.

Plug it into your computer with a micro USB wire. Then you can open the folders on the phone and drag/drop (or copy/paste) music, pictures etc.
