Dad has a Motorola Barrage (a rugged flip phone / Verizon) as his work phone. He likes it, he knows how to use it, and that's all that matters. He's 77 and he's starting to get a little resistant to change.
However, it is on its last legs.. the battery is junk and the speaker in the earpiece is failing. He doesn't want to tell his employer that, as he knows that they'll want to "upgrade" him to a smart phone. He doesn't want any part of that. He wants to keep the Barrage.
I'm not familiar with this Barrage model, and have never used it.
Is it possible for me to buy a used/refurb'd one, and swap service for him? Can this be accomplished by removing a card from his existing phone, and then install it in the replacement phone... or will he need to have a Verizon dealer move his service from phone to phone?
