LG Kosher Phones

The LG Classic Kosher flip: brand new stock on Verizon towers, talk only or talk and text.

The LG Classic is the phone people ask for by memory. It is a plain, well-built flip with a clear external caller ID, an 8 GB store and a 1470 mAh battery, and it does exactly what a flip phone should without asking anything of you. We sell it kosher at $200, brand new rather than refurbished, configured to talk only or talk and text, running on Verizon towers through Selectel, Page Plus or TracFone. We also stock the hard case and the replacement battery.

Verizon Network and Number Porting

The LG Classic is a Verizon-network device and that is how it should be bought. Our checkout offers no plan or Selectel Verizon on this handset, the listing notes it works on Verizon towers through Selectel, Page Plus or TracFone, and it confirms that numbers can be ported to Selectel at $15 a month or $120 for the year.

The yearly option is the one to look at if this is a phone for someone who will keep it for years, because $120 up front works out cheaper than twelve monthly payments. We handle the port, and the usual advice applies: keep the old line active until the number has moved, and bring us the account number, PIN, billing address and account holder name.

Talk Only or Talk and Text

The Classic is a two-level phone. Talk only gives you calls and nothing else, which is the level most Lakewood-area schools expect and a common choice for a grandparent or a first phone. Talk and text adds SMS in both directions.

Neither level includes a browser, apps or a data connection. Choose the level at the order and we set it before the phone ships. If the situation changes later, bring it back to us and we can move it between the two, because we did the original configuration.

LG Classic Availability

One thing worth being upfront about: LG exited the mobile phone business worldwide, winding down in 2021, so no new LG handsets are being manufactured. The Classic units we sell are brand new stock rather than refurbished, but the supply is finite and it is not being replenished by the manufacturer.

That is not a reason to avoid it. It is a reason to buy the spare battery at $29 while it is on the shelf, and to know that when this phone eventually needs replacing, the closest equivalents in our range are the TCL Flip T408DL at $129 and the Kyocera DuraXV line from $189. We would rather tell you that now than at the point of sale in three years.

Batteries, Cases and Repair

The LG Exalt and Classic battery at $29 fits both handsets and is the single best thing you can buy alongside the phone. On a device the manufacturer no longer produces, a spare battery is the cheapest way to keep it going.

The LG Classic hard case at $25 is the other sensible add-on. Repairs are done at our Lakewood store, and because a kosher configuration can be disturbed by a general repair shop, coming back to us is the safer route.
