Hey folks, my wife and I use Pixel phones, but we’re starting to think about a phone for our kid, really just to be able to call 911, probably wouldn’t even get data. We’re looking for cheap and boring, the fewer features, the better. Also open to smart watches, tho we have no experience with them.

Are there any devices that fit the bill? I’m thinking something like an old Nokia brick from 20 years ago, but of course with VoLTE/VoNR.

Thanks for any help this community can provide!

    If you’re truly just after 911, Even a deactivated cell phone would call that in the US.

    We ended up getting the kid an Apple smartwatch with LTE. The monthly price when it’s not bad it’s like 10 bucks. The upshot being he could call us with it we could call him with it and find my iPhone can locate him at any time.
