Recommended Cell Phone (non smart phone) Using Xfinity Service

[HiFi Magnetics]

Looking for a cellphone. I don't need text, email....
I just want a phone that is small I can put it easily in and not bulging my pocket. Preferably not a flip phone. I normally just dial in and out. Our service is Xfinity. Anyone that can recommend a phone that would be great. I'd be very happy even to get this kind of phone hooked up today. Its just perfect for my purpose and the pocket size is right.
Thanks. H.

I'm guessing Xfinity is an MVNO? Who's network are they using? That's going to determine phone compatibility.

Good luck hooking up a brick like that today. Best bet is a small candy-bar style Nokia or Alcatel off Amazon, same simple dial-in/dial-out, just actually works on modern networks.

They still make non smartphones?

This is what says.....
Yes, Xfinity Mobile is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) that uses the Verizon Wireless network to provide cellular service, offering customers access to Verizon's 4G LTE and 5G networks on mobile plans that often include significant savings compared to directly subscribing to Verizon. Customers benefit from the integration of mobile services with their existing Xfinity Internet and Wi-Fi services, which can include access to public Wi-Fi hotspots and bundled packages.

Ok, now go look at Verizon's website and see what they offer for phones. This won't be comprehensive of everything that will work, but will give you a jumping off point. You can often find alternatives once you have a couple models to start researching.

I bought a Nokia unlocked phone at Bestbuy to use on Metro.
Basic flip phone that works ok.
Not very many basic phones left any more .
I miss the old Sprint/Nextel phones.
Those things were Bomb proof.
