Del is experimentally "throwing in the towel" re: NO smart phone EVER
I just use my phone for basic needs, learning is painful to do sometimes. You can get a decent Android phone that you CAN do more with it if you choose to, the 1–3-year older models are $1-200.00 & a basic 4g-5g data & 5GB a month for $15.00 a month. I use Mint mobile, it's a pre-paid plan. Sometimes you just need to upgrade somewhat.
