I bought a LG Classic flip but realized only after I received it that it is locked to tracfone carrier only.
I need the phone to be unlocked so I can use it in the U.S and in Israel as well.
I tried unlocking it through tracfone but they don’t unlock it for usage in in israel (unless I am ok with being limited to 1000 calls per month and I will not be able to send sms or use Data at all in Israel).
Anyone know where I can get the phone unlocked, not through tracfone?

What do you mean by that? Did they provide you with the unlock code or not?

Myflipphone if you unlock it normally through TracFone or their unlocking [Login to see the link] it will work just fine in Israel (I used it with tripletel and I had 4G in most places)
Flippy They provide the unlock code but the usage of the phone in Israel is limited to 1000 minutes call a month and I won’t be able to use Data or SMS in Israel.

Myflipphone once its unlocked you don't need to use their service.

Myflipphone As Jumptoheaven said, you are unlocking the phone to use with another carrier. You can now use any service like Tripletel without restrictions. If Tracfone told you otherwise, its because they lie.
Ok thank you all!
Do any of you know how to transfer files from my computer to my LG Classic Flip?
I connected the phone to the computer and besides for the fact that it charges it, it doesn’t show the phone as a connected device in the pc. Meaning I can’t find it in the file manager.

Myflipphone in the phone's notifications there should be an option to set USB mode to file transfer.

Myflipphone some cables don't support data transfer, try using a different wire.

Myflipphone if Jumptoheaven still doesn't work, you can try going to settings > phone settings > usb connection
