Best Flip Phones 2024
Take calls like Captain James T. Kirk!
Rumor has it that flip phones were inspired by the sci-fi communicators of the first USS Enterprise’s crew, of the 1960s original Star Trek series. Short of going back to the good old cable-and-dial phones, can a cell phone get any more retro than that?
There’s nothing quite like taking and ending your calls by flipping your phone open or closed. Here we’ve compiled an overview of the most popular non-smart flip phones available today:
Samsung a157 Non-Camera Flip Phone (AT&T)

LG Exalt VN360 Simple Flip Phone (Verizon)
The LG Exalt VN360 is a simple, senior-friendly flip phone that's highly reliable, easy to set up, and intuitive to use.

Samsung SCH-U750 Alias 2 Two-Way Flip Phone (Verizon)

LG 450 Simple Flip Phone (T-Mobile)
A light, small, and elegant phone, the LG 450 is basically made for texting, as well as for making and taking calls (really!). While it does also have a camera and browser, they're kind of basic, which is to be expected from a dumb phone at this price level. The 1.3MP camera can ...
Samsung Convoy 3 U680 Rugged Flip Phone (Verizon)
The Samsung Convoy 3 is a great, ruggedized flip phone that can handle a lot of harsh treatment. It meets military standard MILSTD810F in terms of resistance to dust and sand, shock, vibration, and humidity. While it doesn't claim to be 100% waterproof (so you'd better not take it for a swim ...
Samsung Jitterbug5: Easy-to-use Flip Phone for Seniors (GreatCall)
Reminiscent of the early 2000's clam shell style phones, the Jitterbug5 is a Samsung flip phone that was specifically designed for the elderly. This phone is available on GreatCall, a MVNO carrier on Verizon's network. The Jitterbug5 is an excellent phone for seniors, with large text on screen, big backlit ...
Casio g’zOne C781 Ravine 2: Rugged Flip Phone (Verizon)
I have no idea how Casio came up with this name, nor how to pronounce it, but the g'zOne C781 Ravine 2 (shall we just call it Ravine 2?) rugged phone can definitely stand some punishment. It is IP67 and MIL-STD-810F certified to be highly dust, shock, and water resistant ...
