Uh, they DO still make dumb phones. And people still buy them.

Yep, 79 year old father in law has a brand new dumb phone with a t-9 keypad, made by TCL. Works perfectly fine.

Yeah but this type of story doesn't generate click bait headline.

Yeah, for around 20-30 euros you can get a cheap Nokia branded phone as far as I'm aware (105 and 106 series for example).

Yep. They even made a new 3310.
