You can purchase the phone that is only capable of voice and text, but you have to get a plan that includes data you can't use.

Flip 3 basic phone

Verizon Customer . 1 month ago

Flip 3 works perfect for what I need. Just voice and text. Good sound quality. No issues.

Great phone

Dalan . 1 month ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

This phone was purchased for a 90 year old relative. It is perfect for them! They only need a phone for making and receiving calls… the text feature is not used. It is easy to use and is just what we needed.

Nany1251 . Aug 26, 2025

If I purchase this phone, is there a way to get all my contacts from my old phone without having to manually enter each one? I have a lot of contacts, so having to do so would be quite tedious and take an inordinate amount of time.

Answer from Verizon Customer Support1 month

Yes you can.
