You can get a new Nokia dumbphone for 60 euros: https://www.nokia.com/phones/de_de/nokia-6310?sku=16POSE01A0.... Up until recently there were even models that only cost 20.

You can't get a cheap dumb phone in the United States. Carriers here will not activate a device unless it has 4G.

I believe they have dumb phones with 4G. My grandfather uses one (…to call me to Google stuff for him.)

So the concept of a prepaid sim card doesn't exist?
