Title.
Not sure what you consider best, but I assume price is a big factor. *Just noticed you wrote online but I’ll just keep everything I have here.
You might find a used phone section in your local thrift shop.
Someone is probably selling new and used flip phones on kijiji, ebay, fb marketplace etc.
For buying new, Best Buy is available nationally. I’ve seen refurbished phone shops but most carry only smartphones. Wireless carriers can let you buy phones outright with no plan but they are overpriced.
Kijiji is probably the best bet imo. Buying used or refurbished from someone local reduces e-waste…
Apparently it’s an eBay subsidiary though, so that may be a deal breaker.
Disclaimer: US citizen here, but I did a quick search for ya and found this site…

Yeah I get it, yeah fuck Amazon and fuck USA, just figured I’d help…
Hm. It seems to link exclusively to amazon…
Damn, sorry I didn’t fully chase the links, just attempting to help the cause ☹️
I appreciate your response and your intention. I suggest to remove the link here because it is generating traffic to amazon, which is exactly what OP is trying to avoid. The whole website looks like an amazon front 😊
Whatever. If that’s the case, then go boycott…

Not my problem, I don’t live there, I just tried to be helpful.

Go to a cellphone store
I’m not Canadian, but visit often.
I’m not sure what the criteria is for “best way” for your situation, but if nothing else you can get these online from Walmart.ca.
Thanks for tje link. Do you know if the phone is unlocked / open to all carriers? I cant seem to find that information on the page but maybe I’m just missing it
I can’t speak for the site or the reseller but that phone is listed in the “unlocked phones” category:
Ah okay, thank you
Walmart is another American megacorp. No need to avoid one just to shop at another.
I looked at Rexall and Shoppers websites first and couldn’t find any mobile phones for sale online. If you don’t like the site I posted you could post one for OP yourself from a site that you like.
Best Buy would be my first non-Bezos look. Maybe Staples.
