Where can I find a basic phone for purchase?

I want to buy a new one, but all the search results for phones are Smartphones or accessories for them. Not everyone wants one nor likes them (some can't even manage them properly).

Hover over "Shop" then hover over "Phones and Devices" and then select "Basic Phones"

I admit I haven't looked in awhile - but I was looking for a replacement for an old LG VX5400 awhile back (less than year) and it seems I saw some....I could be wrong and it might have been another site.

I was in Wireless World (Verizon resellet) on Saturday and they had 4 or 5 phone choices that were the old style flip phones

Retailers might have Verizon branded phones for sale from old or refurbished stock.  Maybe even new-old stock.

Late side note/update: I did find many in 2nd hand/used sale sites... but that was mostly post 2018(2015 was difficult but found 1 don't remember cost of then think was on Ebay or some site that might not exist or was bought over/conjoined now). Now the question is more like "where can I find a slider phone that is 4G or 5G?" lol Only found 1 but would have to buy full cost since it's sold in UK & another similar in Asia both made in past couple years & with some screen problems I never had with 3G slider phones I tried (like the icons/shortcuts not showing up on screen in 4G sliders hmmm). Can barely even text w/o spam coming in on same day ugh.

Even worse Verizon just auto-ordered me a new flip phone without telling me anything! Unless my account was hacked & they (lol) ordered a cheap 4g flip? lol Def not what I want/need. Ol' VW making so many errors as fast as possible, as least that part of them is fast/improved & reply online messaging (barely/rarely helpful btw). SO much for going into a physical VW store this month, especially if they don't refund my discount for a "upgrade", maybe just look now....
