housemate and I are sick of smartphone AI and spyware!! looking for cheap, refurbished cellphones from the 00s

  • the problem: all models we have found run on 2G, which is rapidly being phased out by all US carriers
  • desired features: basic call and text functionality, durability, physical buttons, fits in pocket

I've been using a fairphone 4 with lineage for a bit now and have had minimal issues. It's basically android if google got out of the way. I fully understand if you want something lower tech than that though
