My dad has been having issues with his VERY OLD sony ericsson flip phone and I think it's time that he got a new one. The problem is that I can't seem to find any available for Tmobile. My dad is hesitant on getting a new one, but he's open to it. Although, he's got some requirements. Basic flip phone is requirement number one and requirement number two would be a small screen on the outside that would at least display time, date and if he's got voice mail. Where could I buy a new one that is off contract? I definitely want a new one and I don't want to buy it off ebay, craigslist or some shady looking reseller. Any help would be appreciated. thank you
 
A few of the prepaid phones are still flip-phones. Samsung is trying to launch a line of premium flip phones for their older clients in Korea, we'll see if it makes it here (it may have, I haven't kept up on that news).

you could also get an unlocked flipphone from amazon... just need to verify that the phone supports t-mobile frequency bands
