Back when the Motorola razer was the most popular mobile phone on the market, my sisters boyfriend had the sweetest tiny little flash drive sized dumb phone that I still think would be awesome to own every time I go on vacation and really want to leave reddit/Facebook/Snapchat and even hackernews at home without loosing the ability to call emergency services or fellow travelers when needs arise. Sadly that market is nowhere near attractive enough these days for anyone to care.

- livueta 7y agoIf you ever end up in the backcountry, you might want to consider a used Iridium phone. They can be found in good condition for significantly less than a flagship smartphone and check all the boxes for emergency, phone-only devices: small, rugged, makes phone calls, works very nearly anywhere without having to deal with local SIM cards or roaming, and expensive minutes provide an incentive to not use it for trivial stuff. Great for genuine emergencies and quick travel coordination, terrible for anything remotely resembling social media.
- adinobro 7y agoThere is still actually a large market for these phones in the developing world. As long as you are looking for GSM instead of CDMA and the frequencies are correct for your country have a look on sites like AliExpress and import them directly from China.
