Flip phones

Hi! Does anyone know if Telus will still connect an old school flip phone? For context, I want to buy a 4G flip phone for daily use. I’m tired of my smartphone. However, the Telus site doesn't seem to show any plans or devices that correspond to my needs. And I certainly don’t want to buy a new phone only to find out that I cannot connect it, of course! 
Any advice would be welcome, thanks!

TELUS still has a flip-phone. They are in the Prepaid section of the website. $85 gets you the ZTE Cymbal 2. It can be used on any plan, prepaid or postpaid.

Yes, although Telus is more difficult than other providers to access picture/mms messages if you use an older model. Otherwise, you can pretty much use any phone -- Blackberry works, many Japanese ones work, and newer ones like the Mive Alt Style Folder II and the Galaxy Folder II work. You should be able to find one outright for under $150 (I got mine from South Korea/Japan delivery services like buyee or delivered.kr - I've tried a few and they're all pretty much the same.
