Old Phone, New Life

I would much prefer to revert to my old standard flip version of which I still have a couple of models. I thought it would be impossible, but several people have told me they've continued to use their without interruption. What did I miss?

How does one buy a free phone? No charge implies free.

In order to have a flip phone THAT WORKS (I'm being told here), I'd have to buy (another) one since my old one (which I bought; the analog replacement was free) won't.

Reading comprehension?

The old phones are just...old (cell) phones with SIM cards.

Thank you for the insult (from someone who mixes up the terms analog and android). How about if you learn to spell out a post before you post. If you wish to insult, please be sure you have your grammatical ducks in a row

Thanks for the helpful replies! I'll ditch the two old phones.
