CDMA networks for those are not active anymore. But they still make a good play phone for a child as a first phone so they don't need cellular data and PROBABLY also can't call 911 either. So if someone has a child 17 and under, these or a deactivated phone will make a perfect first phone. Also good to add to a collection like Steven's Phones, Tony's Phone Collection, VWestlife, Ben Kleinberg, UXWBill, Michael MJD, me, among other retro collectors.
Thanks, that's what I thought. I thought collectors might be interested in these, not sure how rare these are though. Don't know about this being a child's first phone, what can they do with that if they can't call anyone (parents presumably), nor can they use some VoIP apps over WiFi as can be done on some older smartphones?
When I looked on eBay, most of the flip phones I saw were dirt cheap. Are there some specific models that have value? I might check if I have them in the junk pile ;)

Also to note, just don't let eBay sellers start price gouging. Otherwise, that would be a problem for retro dudes or for children as a first phone.
