Hey folks, my wife and I use Pixel phones, but we’re starting to think about a phone for our kid, really just to be able to call 911, probably wouldn’t even get data. We’re looking for cheap and boring, the fewer features, the better. Also open to smart watches, tho we have no experience with them.

Are there any devices that fit the bill? I’m thinking something like an old Nokia brick from 20 years ago, but of course with VoLTE/VoNR.

Thanks for any help this community can provide!

    just putting it out there: giving them a cheap android phone will steer them away from android forever as they will be conditioned to think that all android are as cheap and terrible as the ones they have been given

      Yeah give em a first gen iPhone SE. It works ok for now, plus they’re cheap. But since support ended they’ll soon start having some issues. That’ll definitely make them want an Android >:D

      Totally fair, tho we don’t need it to run Android. Some locked down OS that only does phone calls might be okay.

      Perfect case for a shitty iphone 6 with a cracked screen!
