Hey Lemmy, help me get a bare bones super low cost phone! ($100-150)

Hi guys!

So I’m trying to get a super low cost phone to do literally the bare minimum. This is, to be able to use Whatsapp. Maybe FB messenger, but this would be an afterthought. What would you recommend? Living in Asia, so Asian brands might be cheaper/easier to get.

Thanks!

FB Messenger is an unoptimized ressource hog, I doubt you’ll be able to get a brand new $150 phone that will handle it.

I’d say look on the second hand market for an old S10
