Is it possible to activate an old CDMA phone in 2019? [on hold]

I’ve just dug up my old Samsung Alias 2, and I’d really like to downgrade my smartphone to this 2009 (two-way!) flip phone. Unfortunately, I’ve since learned that Verizon no longer activates such devices, and soon will no longer support them at all. Is there any way (even by replacing some component) to activate this old phone on any network?

Compatible networks: CDMA 800/1900 MHz, 1xEVDO

Is there a more appropriate Stack Exchange community for this question?
