   Called Spectrum, got forwarded to their mobile device support. The tech   
   could [or would] not identify models that would work. Her suggestion was   
   to contact the manufacturer for the IMEI...   
      
   LG quit making phones in 2022, sigh...   
      
   If you try the "Bring Your Own Device" menu, you get Apple, Google, LG,   
   Samsung, Motorola... I didn't notice any current flip phone makers...

   > Yep, the "Spectrum One" or "Spectrum Phone" plans expect you to provide a 4G   
   or 5G smartphone, as Verizon wants to eliminate the 3G network entirely (they   
   aren't there yet, but they're trying).  When new, the battery on my Motorola G   
   Power (2020    
   edition) lasted for a little over 2 weeks, now it gets about 1 week before it   
   needs to be recharged.  That's still better than many Android or Apple phones,   
   some of which require daily recharging.  Back when I was using my LG Accolade   
   VX5600 flip phone    
   on Verizon (circa 2011), I could go almost a month between charges.  "With
