Certain models of LG flip phones, such as the LG Gentle, offer the user the ability to access the internet via the Android operating system as well as download Android-compatible apps. The phones with internet browsing capability are more often found in Asia, so they are not often offered by U.S. carriers. As with a smartphone, a flip phone that allows for internet usage will require a data plan from your wireless carrier.

These phones offer the function and convenience of basic communication features such as making and receiving phone calls and texting. Because the majority of these devices do not feature web browsers or internet access, they generally do not store or have the capability of sharing your personal information.
