> Also, I have no fucking idea when you say that "they don't make phones like that anymore", since Nokia still makes the 3310.

As others have mentioned, most of the phones that do fit the criteria of a modern dumb phone don't work on Verizon. I had plans to buy the 3310 if they ever released a 4g version.

I would happily go without Facebook Messenger, but since my phone supports it, it's a convenient thing to have access to. But you are right, I am probably not the target market for this phone.

There's the Nokia 8110 4G (€49), the Nokia 800 Tough (€119) and the Nokia 2720 Flip (€99).


Everything I've found says those aren't compatible with US phone networks.
