Before buying any kind of phone, you should check its specifications online and also check one more when you're buying it. There are many brands, such as Alcatel, Nokia, some older Samsung flip phones (such as Samsung Folder from 2015, I guess), then some Chinese and Japanese brands that I don't know well, but you can all search online. It depends what you're exactly looking for, your budget and where are you going to buy it. Since you've mentioned that you want to use it for Spacehey and maybe some other messanger apps, then you must search for newer, recently manufactured flip phones on which you can download desired apps and use internet normally. But, if you're looking for an authentic late 2000's flip phone, that has basic functions (calling, SMS, MMS, camera), then you can also search for refurbished flip phones on Aliexpress, Amazon and such websites. I hope I helped you a bit.
Take it from me, it will be to your detriment to get a flip phone for anything online.
They work better as purely utilitarian devices - they're cheap and an easy and cost efficient way to have a phone number when you need one, without all the bells and whistles and bloat.
They're like $25 from Tracfone at Walmart, mine is like $40 every three months or so.
If you want a flip phone, I would seriously recommend getting one with the intention of wholeheartedly cutting out the time spent on a "smartphone" - it is good for the attention span, lets the brain rest a bit, slows time down to an acceptable pace, etc.
I will reiterate - don't get a flip phone for internet related anything.
