Verizon announced earlier this week that the Moto G will officially arrive on January 9. We first reported this date, thanks to a flyer that was being passed around at Best Buy... #MotoG #Motorola ...

This week, Verizon released a new, dumb flip phone. Called the LG Exalt LTE , it only connects to Verizon’s 4G LTE network — that means no 3G network option for phone calls.

Kyocera's ruggedized flip phone can be purchased with or without a built-in 5MP camera for $99.99 through Verizon Wireless.

Customers are getting one of the Orbic Journey V, TCL Flip Pro, and the Nokia 2720 V Flip. Priced at $99.99, $79.99, and $79.99, respectively, these phones are as basic as they get.

Verizon Wireless recently added the LG Exalt LTE to its lineup of inexpensive flip phones. The Exalt LTE has the distinction of being Verizon's first 4G LTE basic phone, according to the carrier.
