Switch to Flip phone

Hello,

Would like to switch from a smart phone to an old fashioned flip ‘dum’ phone (the chat won’t let me type that word with the ‘b’ - says it’s a bad word!). Saw on multiple online forums that Nokia 2780 which comes equipped with a hotspot works with visible, so I bought one. But when I look on the website to check compatibility, I only see options for Apple or Android, where Nokia uses kaiOS. So, can I confirm that I can in fact use the Nokia phone with my visible plan? And if so, do I simply swap the SIM card into the new phone, or do I need to go through some steps first?

Thanks!

Visible service is meant for a smartphone and l don't believe a flip phone will work on Visible. If you are already a customer and have a pSIM you can try putting it into the flip phone and see if it even works. No special steps into just removing the card from one phone and putting it in another, it will either connect or it won't. Just move it back to the other phone if it doesn't work. 

 

If you need cheap service for a flip phone with very little data usage try Consumer Cellular. I think they even still sell flip phones on their site.

AT&T and Tracfone allow flip phones on their prepaid plans.
