I'm an Android woman (with cold weather fembot nipples!) and hate everything to do with Apple ecosystem (Ios).

But I am also a feature phone lady (non-smart phones) and have one which has no smartphone features or operating system. A Nokia 800.

There are others around - some Sonim's don't run Android.

Cheap dumb cell phone for calls and texts. $60 phone and $12 a month for service. If you want to share pictures, Internet access, etc., call my wife.

@exexec I don't know how prices compare but my basic portable 'phone cost about £40 (5 years ago now) and is on PAYG so no service-charge. I reckon it costs me less than about £30/year in calls and occasional, brief texts.

My broadband service (for Internet-linked PC and land-line 'phone) is rather pricier though - typically £35/month I think.

BT (my ISP) tried to flog me what it calls its "Halo" service, which is designed for those who use the Internet for massive entertainments services for which a mere telephone, even a so-called "smart"-phone, would be ridiculous. It is very costly, I do not need it, and I refused it!

@ArishMell I pay a lot for Internet service on cable. My phone is about as cheap as possible in the U.S.

@exexec I see - separate billing? I have the cheapest service they offered, but to do that it makes up for free weekend and evening calls by expensive weekday daytime fees. Luckily I don't need make calls during the day very often.
